There are 6 main traits that define a Trickster.
1) ambiguous personality
2) deceiver-trick player
3) shape shifter
4) situation inventor
5) messenger/imitator of gods
6) sacred/lewd bricoleur
When speaking of the Trickster we are within a liminal space,in-between point, where the boundaries of the normal world are earsed and we are free to say things that would be considered out of bounds like profanity words or things that protain to sexual desire because we are within this liminal space the rules dont apply.
the Trickster is motivated to do such this to satisfy his appetite for the flesh such as sleep, hunger, sexual desire etc. Often at times the trickster is considered a cultural hero because he supplies a wisdom or a moral to the people or by accident he supplies them with a tool.

Hercules last wife
Hercules last wife was named Deianira. There are mulitple versions of this story but all invole the same centaur that tries to take Deianira from Hercules but never succeds in doing so. At the end of one version Deianira kills Hercules with one of his shirts that has been soaked in the blood of the centaur. One interpatation of Deianira's name is great destruction.

Gilgamesh
We have read a story of Gilgamesh and his quest to finding inmortality and of his strength. Through some searching i found that Gilgamesh was the inspriation of one of the charcaters in one of the all time best game series, Final Fantasy. In the games Gilgamesh wears blightly colored armor and clothes just as told in the story. he also carries many weapons which which can be stolen from him and gives u one of the strongest armor sets there are in the game. This goes along with the story of Gilgamesh becuase he is the strongest there is and his is favored by the gods. It also shows that games find charcaters to put by looking into myth stories.

Isis and Osiris and zombies
In the Eygptian myth Isis and Osiris; Osiris dies and goes to the undrworld where Isis goes to retreive him and help him get back to the immortal world in the sky and later becoming the God of the Underworld. Osiris is depicted by the Eygptians with having green skin. I can only think of only one other type of "human" that has green skin caused by the decay of dieing. Zombies. So by linking the two together and with Osiris being the God of the Underworld, he is the God of the Zombies. So Eygptians are giving power to Osiris by idilizing him as a God and thus if there were to be a Zombie invasion I beleive it would originate in Eypt.
