So you mean something like those Undine from High School DxD, right? They were almost as horrifying as Mil-tan. Ugh...*shudders*
Tragedies? Well, Perseus got a good end, though. And there is seem to be a version of Hercules's tale which he became the God of Strength.

Pretty sure not all the stories of Greek mythologies were turned into plays, you are using the wrong definiton here.
One interpretation is that the marriage was an eloping rather than a kidnapping, regardless Hades and Persephone's marriage is considered the only faithful marriage in the myths by a lot of people; plus Hades was an all around chill guy, like when Herakles was during his twelve labors every god gave him trouble for shits and giggles. What did Hades do when he asked for Kerberos? Ask that he remember to bring him back; pretty well guy that Hades.

Well Tragedies don't actually have to have an unhappy ending, the reason they are called tragedies is because the world and events close in on the protagonist. The audience watches as the character losses hope after hope until reaching a final decision that decides whether or not the ending is happy or not. If you need an example take the "fight" between Touma and Othinus, despite there being a happy ending (That is Othinnus returning the world that Touma knew back to the way it was) it would still be considered a Tragedy simply because of all the horrific experiences Touma had and his despair over them. The modern definition has been twisted a bit so that people only think it refers to the ending rather than the whole.

And onto the topic of next girl to add to Touma's list, gotta be Medusa guys, he needs a snake controlling (Which is funny considering she was based off an octopus) yandere to round out the harem.

Best out of a bad lot is still bad.

It's depressing that Persephone received the best treatment out of the three queens of the theoi. It's even more depressing considering that both Zeus and Poseidon raped Demeter, while Hades did nothing to help her but instead followed up by kidnapping Persephone.

Imo one of the worst Greek stories was the one with the musician who's wife fell into a pit of poisonous snakes while trying to escape a goat man (forgot how to spell its real name) that was gonna rape her.

If the next arc is the Greek mythos what are the chances that we will have a Prometheus type character that helps Touma like how the one in the stories helped mankind? Also, I REALLY hope we get a proper Aphrodite who either tries to help the girls get TouMAN's attention or is like a Lessar on crack.

You're thinking of Eurydice, who died on the day of her marriage with Orpheus.

I've heard Aphrodite described as many, many things. Helpful isn't one of them.

Eh, turning people into animals isn't Aphrodite's schtick. That's more an Artemis thing when she isn't hands-on enough to feather people with arrows.

Aphrodite punishes people with unnatural lust.

Aphrodite would turn the girls into lascive whores and the otakus will explode not before destroying Dengeki Bunko.

In terms of girls, the franchise has alot of types. Wonder if Kamachi will cover every type Aogami said in Volume 5:

Quote:
Aogami Pierce on the other side even started to state loudly, “Ha, you’re too naïve, Kami-yan. I have a wide range of acceptance when it comes to women: not just heroines that fall from the sky, but also step sisters both younger and older, step mothers, step daughters, twins, widows, upperclassmen, underclassmen, classmates, female teachers, childhood friends, rich girls, blonde hair, black hair, brown hair, silver hair, long hair, semi-long hair, short hair, bobs, drill hair, straight hair, pigtails, ponytails, braided hair, wavy hair, messy hair, ahoges, sailor uniforms, blazer uniforms, PE uniforms, judo uniforms, archery uniforms, kindergarten teachers, nurses, maids, policewomen, shrine maidens, nuns, military officers, secretaries, lolis, shotas, tsunderes, cheerleaders, stewardesses, waitresses, white gothic, black gothic, china dresses, weak albinos, crazy day dreamers, girls with multiple personalities, dominatrices, princesses, kneesocks, garterbelts, crossdressing beauties, glasses, eyepatches, bandages, school swimsuits, one piece swimsuits, bikini swimsuits, slingshot swimsuits, ridiculous swimsuits, non-human girls, ghosts, animal ears, etc.- any female is within my area of acceptance.”

"'At least one of them isn’t a female, right?'
Kamijou said with his last ounce of strength; he couldn’t take much more of this."

You have to be impressed that he could actually be attentive enough to notice that during such a long listing.
