SO there are a lot of Greek mythical references in Teen Wolf, especially regarding the kanima (being Matt’s Fury) and Stiles, who is purported to parallel Perseus and other Greek mythological heroes (Bellerophon, Theseus) who slay beasts or accomplish tasks with only the help of an enchanted object. I like to think that the kanima is a fusion of Medusa, an innocent victim unfairly cursed to be a monster, and Tisiphone, one of the Erinyes – specifically the sister who punishes crimes of murder. SO HERE Stiles is the hero with the magical Mountain Ash given to him by Deaton (the Athena parallel), who manages to survive being paralyzed by Greek Vengeance Lizard 2.0, AKA poor cursed Jackson. Basically I just really like Greek myth and I also really like how it applies to the show a lot okay.
