FINALLY back again with an original piece!🔥🔥🔥

this skin feels so SO underrated & it breaks my hear since polus looks SO COOL

[dionysusfanatic]

I hate the fact that the only things we know about Koios/Coeus/Polus is that he is the son of Gaia and Ouranus, he was the father of Leto and Asteria, and that a late roman source says he went mad and escaped tartarus. anything else are just assumptions about his name (Coeus means query, so he is treated like a god of intelligence/knowledge; and Polus refers to the northern pillar that held Ouranus when Cronos castrated him)

I'm so interested in worshipping him but there's barely any information 😭

[theoihalioistuff]

Does anybody know where Theoi gets the theory that the titans (save for Okeanos and Kronos) held Ouranos down and were associated with the cardinal points?

The titans attacking Ouranos as a collective body, save for Okeanos, is attested (Apollod. 1.1.4 and Orphic Fr. 135 Kern), though how they participate is to my knowledge never expanded upon. Though Theoi cites nebulous "near-eastern cosmogonies" as parallels, I've yet to find these (despite the popularity of the motif throughout many other mythical traditions).

Koios being named Polus by Hyginus (Fabulae. Preface) is certainly very interesting. Πόλος could sometimes refer to the Pole Star, and Leto is sometimes described as hailing from Hyperborea (Ael. On Animals. 4.4) or being brought to Delos by the North Wind (Hyginus Fabulae 53 and 140). Though a connection to the North is not impossible, it's nevertheless conjecture. Likewise Hyperion's association with the East is, again, not impossible, but also eyebrow-raising. Krios' identification with the constellation Aries and the South is, to put it generously, wacko conspiracy, and Iapetos' association with the West is non-existent.

Is this an invention of Theoi, or is it based on any previous scholarly discussion?

Little Personal take on the Roman Counterparts for the Greek Titanesses and Titans. Even I myself manage to come up with some Fan-Made Name Counterparts for some of these Other Gods instead of having the same counterparts have the same name as each other.

UPDATED: 11/4/2023; Since I no longer made a concept where Pontus and Thalassa were Titans (which I did regret making up that choice), I’ve decided to now stick with the Other Water Gods (who are the Parents of the Nereids) in my AU as Titans.

Party with us! 🥳

We, @melestasflight and @polutrope, have our birthdays coming up around the turn of the New Year (no, we are not actually twins). To celebrate, we are throwing a prompt party!

Drop an ask in either of our inboxes with:

The names of 2 to 4 Silmarillion characters

Any canonical place (buildings, cities, realms, mountains, rivers – you name it)

Any DNWs, if applicable

… and we will write a small dialogue or scene with those characters.

We will keep prompts open as long as we’re feeling inspired. While we’d love to fill them all, our creative energies are finite – know that we’re grateful for all prompts, whether we fill them or not.
