Information
You remember Benitses in the 80s: the beach, the booze, the big brutish gods. The clubs blasted Bowie, Apollo’s DJ posters were stuck to every lamppost, and you woke up every morning hardly remembering the night before. And then it went from party central to ghost town quicker than you could say, “Zeus bonked my wife!”
Why?
As with all myths, the truth may have been muddled with legend in the telling, but there was a certain nymph at the heart of it all: Korkyra, the spirit of Corfu. Actually, now that I think about it, Korkyra wasn’t at the heart of anything; she was in the belly of Zeus. Oh, and she was Poseidon’s wife… While Zeus won’t lose sleep over the rage of Poseidon, the wrath of Hera, his wife, would be a nightmare come true – and you’d best believe she was pissed.
