Alright, it's over, pack it up PC crowd, we've been infiltrated by what I can only assume is a group of people who work for The Onion.

During the week spent on Ovid’s "Metamorphoses," the class was instructed to read the myths of Persephone and Daphne, both of which include vivid depictions of rape and sexual assault. As a survivor of sexual assault, the student described being triggered while reading such detailed accounts of rape throughout the work.

I mean, yeah, I get that this could happen, but why would you take a mythology course if you have that kind of history and are triggered by these things? And if you think Greek and Roman mythology is bad for this stuff, try Norse.
