Long Answer
1. Pygmalion’s obsessive love for Aphrodite pleases the goddess and ultimately leads to a positive outcome, his marriage to Galatea, who is created in Aphrodite’s image. But Narcissus’s obsessive self-love and Meleager’s obsessive love for Atalanta both lead to destruction—and ultimately to the deaths of Narcissus and Meleager. (Part 2, Chapter 5; Part 3, Chapter 4; Part 4, Chapter 2)
2. The gods are not as careful to protect and nurture family relationships as humans are. Zeus marries his own sister, Hera, for example, and many gods try to destroy their own children. (Various chapters)
