Meh, it wasn't the subject matter that impressed me, it was beautifully executed. I dig the color contrast, awesome tone and the background is rad too. If someone is easily offended than they must have missed out on a plethora of even far more absurd stories from human antiquity. The Greeks did use great exaggeration in their art, myths, and plays. In a time of rich with great philosophers, no topic or taboo went undiscovered. To ignore these lineages of thought would be counter productive. I like this piece regardless
