#Themis for the goddess of divine order

[meekmedea]

Lady Themis

This just popped into mind but consider this: Clemensia becomes inspired to write scathing things to newspapers about the games 

Because yeah, Casca Highbottom is trying to get supporters, but not quick enough for her liking 

Maybe the 2nd game is coming up/has happened, and well she's frustrated with the lack of success lately

It’s a scathing piece. Though the important thing is that it doesn’t criticize the president, but the games as a concept (The line between treason and not-treason is thin, and Clemmie isn't taking any chances)

Obviously, she can't use her own name - so she decides on a pen name: Lady Themis

Through black market connections, she manages to get it to a newspaper editor's office. (Whether it's a big newspaper or a small one, you decide)

And the newspaper decides to prints it because it is so scathing and will likely bring about attention. Scandal gets people buying things haha

People talk about it - some condemn the writer for being anonymous; some see it as ‘district sympathizing’, others think they make good points to consider  

A week or so passes, and she listens to people talk about it 

Then she decides to write another article and have it sent off again

Bonus ideas to consider:

Pres. Ravinstill has a headache watching Dr. Gaul pace + rant about this upstart who’s publicly challenging the games (Please just let the man reminisce about Hector Dovecote in peace)

Casca is finding it easier to approach some people about shutting the games down

How can a skywing elf have oracle powers?

An interesting question, since we don't actually know what oracle powers entail.

We generally think of an oracle as someone or something that can supernaturally predict the future, but going back to its roots it's both a bit more specific and a bit more broad. An oracle receives messages, usually in the form of visions, directly from the divine. This is as opposed to a seer, who interprets messages from the divine conveyed in the flight of birds, the shape of entrails in a sacrifice, etc. You also had people who did both, presumably just to make things more confusing. The association with the future is because... that's generally what people want divine knowledge about.

(What's the difference between an oracle and a prophet? As far as I can tell, it's mostly the route an individual example has taken in translation through several ancient languages to modern English. "Prophet" comes from a Greek word used to translate a Hebrew one, while "oracle" comes from Latin.)

The only other reference to an oracle in TDP, as far as I'm aware, is the Oracles of Ophidia, an Elarion-era group who are described as the origin of the true-sight serum Viren (unsuccessfully) uses in an attempt to discover the nature of the mirror. The oracles used the serum, which was harvested from eyeless vipers in total darkness, and would be ruined by any exposure to moonlight (the Moon being the primal source associated with illusions, naturally), to "see through the illusions of the world."

Supernatural "sight" of the future or truth is frequently associated with blindness or the release of normal sight in mythology and (by extension) fantasy, and TDP carries that theme—the blindfold of justice allowing true equality, the mirror which can only be seen through in darkness, the film over Viren's eye that lets him see Aaravos's illusions but arguably impairs his reason. Now we have the blindfolded Celestial elves, an order of Skywing elves who are guardians of Star primal magic, which is the primal associated with destiny, truth, time, etc. as well as the stars and Startouch elves being associated with divinity. We have yet to learn whether they might be blindfolded in order to perceive the will and messages of the stars, or to see through them and not be deceived.

Because the Celestial elves are winged Skywing elves, and Plotice is a winged Skywing elf, he could very well be a part of or adjacent to that order. He's also characterized as not just an oracle, but a luminous oracle, which is not a very Sky primal-y description but a reasonable Star primal-y one. However, he lacks any of the other design characteristics we've seen of Celestial elves so far, most notably the blindfold. This could be indicative of his personal hubris—maybe he left the order or works at the fringes of it, enjoying a powerful and mystical reputation instead of anonymous secrecy, and is therefore spiritually blinded. It could also just indicate that he has no association with them at all.

The other thing about Plotice is that he discovers spells, presumably Sky primal spells. This is significant in that a) the full scope of primal rune magic has not been reached/explored, and b) spells are discovered, not invented. You could say that he's essentially receiving spells (knowledge or messages) from the primal source itself, and conveying them to the people. That's functionally being an oracle for the primal source as a divinity that only has very specific things to say. I think it would be interesting if the discovery of new rune spells was associated with divine knowledge granted to an otherwise largely unremarkable individual, rather than something achieved through the study and power of an archmage.

Anyway, it's not really a question of whether he can be described as an oracle, but that we have no idea what that means.

⚠️ Warning : i consider this asteroid as prominent and brings the most effect if it conjuncts ur personal planets (sun,moon,venus,mercury,mars) and if it conjuncts ur personal points (ac,dc,ic,mc), i use 0 - 2.5 orbs (for conjunctions). For sextile, trine, opposite and square aspects to asteroids i usually use 0 - 2 orbs. Yes tight conjunctions of planet / personal points to asteroids tends to give the most effect, but other aspects (sextile,trine,square,opposite, etc) still exist, even they produce effects. If it doesn't aspect any of your planets or personal points, check the house placement of the asteroid, maybe some stuff/topics relating to this asteroid could affect some topics/stuff relating to the house placement . ⚠️

"Karma" music video | May 26, 2023

Azzi & Osta Spring/Summer 2023 Couture

For a song all about cheekily taking on the concept of fate, destiny, and celestial forces coming back to right past wrongs, it makes all the sense in the world that the video would open on a Grecian-inspired moment of Taylor in a glittering asymmetric gown.

From the drapery to the gathering on the left shoulder - it's a beautiful modern reference to Themis - the goddess who personifies justice, divine order, and the balancing of the scales of life.

🍷 🍇 "Let Dionysus guide your hand, whether holding a brush or a keyboard, for he knows no fear. Through him, your creations will transcend the mundane and touch the infinite." 🍷 🍇

- John Karneios Auletta

Consider the myth of Dionysus and the invention of theater: in ancient Greece, Dionysus inspired the creation of drama and theater, a revolutionary form of storytelling that combined music, performance, and narrative in ways never seen before. This innovation transformed how stories were told and experienced, much like how modern technology can revolutionize our creative expressions. Just as Dionysus inspired the ancient Greeks to invent new forms of art, he can inspire your technological creations to transcend the ordinary and reach new heights of creativity and impact. Dionysus not once was worried about how humans would misuse theater. He didn't think about how people would steal old scripts from others original, no He created and appreciated theater no matter how others planned on using it!! We have to stop placing our own fears and limiting things all because we fear that someone else will steal it. The gods never fretted over how humans might misuse their newfound tools; they knew that human nature was beyond anyone's control. So, if the gods weren't concerned back then, why would they be worried about it now?

(Let’s be real—I'll give you a rundown of gifts the gods handed to humanity, gifts they bestowed without a second thought about how we'd misuse them. These divine blessings were celebrated, no matter how we twisted their purposes down the line. Think about it: almost every boon from the gods has been twisted and abused by us. Did that ever stop the gods from sharing their gifts? Did it ever hinder those gifts from propelling our society forward? Absolutely not. You believe Prometheus gave us fire, right? Then why doubt that Hephaestus didn’t spark the inspiration for tech advancements like AI?)

Fire: Prometheus gifted humanity fire, enabling cooking, warmth, and metalworking, without divine concern over its potential for destruction.

Agriculture: Demeter taught humans how to cultivate crops and harvest food, which revolutionized human society.

Medicine and Healing: Asclepius, the god of medicine, bestowed knowledge of healing and medicine to humans, improving their health and longevity.

Navigation and Astronomy: Poseidon and Urania, the muse of astronomy, provided humans with knowledge of the seas and the stars, enabling exploration and trade.

Music and Arts: Apollo and the Muses granted humans the arts of music, poetry, and dance, enriching human culture and expression.

Architecture, Technology and Building: Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths and craftsmen, gifted humans with the knowledge of building and construction, leading to the creation of temples, cities, and infrastructure.

Metalworking: The Cyclopes and Hephaestus provided the skill of metalworking, enabling the creation of tools, weapons, and art.

Mathematics and Geometry: Athena, known for wisdom, imparted knowledge of mathematics and geometry, crucial for science and engineering.

Writing and Literature: Hermes, the messenger god, introduced the art of writing and communication, preserving knowledge and facilitating learning.

Weaving and Textiles: Athena also taught humans the craft of weaving, leading to the production of clothes and fabrics.

Agricultural Tools: Demeter provided tools like the plow, revolutionizing farming and food production.

Domestication of Animals: Various gods, including Artemis and Pan, facilitated the domestication of animals, aiding in farming, transportation, and companionship.

Pottery and Ceramics: Athena also gave humans the skill of pottery, essential for storage, cooking, and art.

Law and Justice: Themis and Dike, goddesses of justice, provided the concepts of law and order, crucial for societal structure.

Alchemy and Early Chemistry: Hermes Trismegistus, associated with Hermes, shared esoteric knowledge of alchemy, leading to early chemical practices.

Drama and Theater: Dionysus, god of theater, inspired the creation of drama, enhancing cultural and spiritual life.

Philosophy and Reasoning: Athena fostered the development of philosophy, encouraging critical thinking and ethical reasoning.

Calendar and Timekeeping: Urania and Chronos provided humans with methods to measure time, essential for agriculture, rituals, and navigation.

Medicine and Surgery: Asclepius and Apollo imparted advanced medical techniques, improving surgical practices and treatments.

Herbal Knowledge: Gaia and other nature deities shared knowledge of herbs and plants for medicinal and culinary uses.Music Instruments: Apollo and the Muses gave humans musical instruments like the lyre and flute, enriching their cultural life.

Sculpture and Statues: Hephaestus and Athena inspired the art of sculpture, leading to the creation of beautiful statues and monuments.

Language and Rhetoric: Hermes and Apollo contributed to the development of language and persuasive speaking, vital for communication and governance.

Maps and Cartography: Poseidon and the Muses provided knowledge of map-making, aiding in exploration and navigation.

Perfumes and Incense: Aphrodite and other deities shared the art of making perfumes and incense, enhancing rituals and personal adornment.

[deathlessathanasia]

When Aphrodite is the daughter of Zeus where would you place her in the birth order of the younger gods?

In the Library of Apollodoros Dione is Zeus's third consort (after Hera and Themis) so Aphrodite is one of his eldest children. Assuming that all the children of Hera (Hebe, Eileithyia, Ares) and Themis (Eirene, Eunomia, Dike, Klotho, Lachesis, Atropos) were born before Zeus took Dione as his partner, then Aphrodite would be at most his 10th child, older than gods like Persephone, Athena, Apollo, Artemis and Hermes. Pseudo-Hyginus' genealogical lists in the Fabulae can be all over the place, but he lists Jupiter's divine children in this order: Venus (by Dione), Mars (by Juno), Minerva (by himself), the Graces (by Eurynome), Juventas and Libertas (by Juno), the Horai (by Themis), Proserpina (by Ceres), the Muses (by Moneta), Pandia (by Luna), Mercurius (by Maia), Apollo and Diana (by Latona). So here Aphrodite appears to be his first child. In Diodoros of Sicily, Library of History 5.72.5 we get this list: "To Zeus also were born, they say, the goddesses Aphroditê and the Graces, Eileithyia and her helper Artemis, the Hours, as they are called, Eunomia and Dikê and Eirenê, and Athena and the Muses, and the gods Hephaestus and Ares and Apollo, and Hermes and Dionysus and Heracles." Of course the order may be more or less arbitrary and they might not be supposed to be arranged in chronological order in this list, but whatever the case, Aphrodite is mentioned first.

I do prefer her to be older than the other children of Zeus who are members of the dodekatheon at least, as a nod to her alternative origins as offspring of Ouranos on one hand and to the theory that Dione (or a goddess she derives from) might have been the original consort of Zeus on the other.

[bonesandthebees]

wait, how do you come up with names for your fics? like in stars you have eldenvegr (i think?) and then epli and so on so on

well for stars I took very specific inspiration for my worldbuilding of different planets. eldinvegr specifically was inspired by this idea of an old norse/norse mythology kind of vibe, so pretty much every single word or phrase in the eldingvegrian language was kind of a twisted version of an old norse word (which led to me finding out that modern day icelandic really isn't all that different from old norse as a language to the point where I had people pointing out some of the words I ended up using were just straight up icelandic lmao)

I didn't come up with the name Eldingvegr on my own (a friend of mine who was helping me brainstorm the early plot of stars did) so I can't attest to exactly where it comes from, but I believe it was some variation of something like "dawn world" in old norse since, yknow, eldingvegr is kind of in a state of perpetual dawn/dusk thanks to being tidally-locked

epli is the old norse word for apple. røkkrring is taken from the word røkkr, which means 'twilight' in old norse, and combining it with the english word 'ring' to create the phrase 'twilight ring'. this refers to the band around the planet where the daytime and nighttime sides meet thus creating a habitable 'ring' around the planet. nóttsid is the old norse word 'nótt' meaning night, combined with 'sid' which is just the english word 'side' with the e at the end taken off. so literally 'night side' referring to the side of the planet that faces away from the sun plunging it into perpetual night. same thing for the daylight side sólsid (sól meaning sun, so 'sun side'). margyg which is the eldingvegrian word used to refer to the sirens of themis is taken from margygr which was an old norse word used to refer to mythological sea spirits/mermaid-like creatures. dagrbrað is taken from 'dagsbrún' which was another old norse word for dawn and combined with brauð which was old norse for bread, so it kind of translates to 'dawn bread'. as you can see I wasn't trying to take words directly from old norse and just paste them on, I was dropping letters/combining new words here and there to kind of make it look like a language that derived heavily from old norse/modern icelandic but had become influenced heavily by other languages like english.

I definitely put the most energy into worldbuilding the language for eldingvegr but I put thought into other planets as well, like themis. my inspiration for themis comes from greek mythology. the planet name themis both comes from a shortened version of themyscira, the home of the amazon warriors in greek mythology, and themis the greek goddess of several things including divine order and custom. I took a lot of inspo in general for themis from the legendary greek warrior women since themis has a matriarchal society/government. the name myrina for the queen of the sirens comes from one of the queens of the amazon warriors in legend.

ok that's a lot of rambling just for stars. for rose there isn't really another full language like there was in stars, but for place names I'm taking a lot of inspiration from dutch as a language (you can see this with the suffixes of many of the city names. summerdam with 'dam', cedardijk with 'dijk', maanstad with 'stad', etc. this is mainly because right when I was starting to get heavily into worldbuilding for rose about a year ago as I prepared for it to be my next large project, I took a trip to europe for 3 weeks and ended up spending quite a bit of that time by myself in the netherlands and absolutely loved it. so I got a lot of inspiration for the cities from my time there.

ok that was longer than expected lol hope you liked all that info

Themis - Greek Titan goddess of divine law and fairness

Themis is an Greek Titaness & a personification of divine order, fairness & natural law. Her symbols are the Scales of Justice & her eyes are often blindfolded. Homer says: "Themis is untranslatable. A gift of the gods and a mark of civilized existence."

"Themis"

[deafeningpersonapeace]

To defy justice is to defy the will of the gods; in the face of such dishonor, no mortal shall escape the ruin that follows.

Praise Themis

Themis, the just and righteous one, may your wisdom guide us all.

Praise to Themis, the guardian of law and order, who ensures fairness and justice for all.

May Themis's scales of justice always remain balanced, and her laws uphold the righteous.

Let us honor Themis, the goddess of divine law, and strive to live in accordance with her principles.

Themis, the embodiment of justice, may your light shine upon us all.

As a cosmic principle tied to the natural order and the will of the gods. To defy justice is therefore to challenge a higher, universal truth that governs the world.Titaness Themis personification of justice, represent the idea that justice is woven into the fabric of existence. Violating it is not just breaking a human law, but a law of the universe, leading inevitably to ruin or downfall, because one cannot escape or bend universal truth.the personal consequences of immoral actions. It presents justice as a moral force, where to act unjustly is to commit a dishonorable act, one that is inherently wrong not only by societal standards but by the higher moral code as well. This view suggests that individuals who act immorally and defy justice will face inevitable consequences, not just from human institutions but also from a higher cosmic or divine order.The importance of moral integrity and righteousness. In ancient and even modern moral frameworks, honor is closely tied to living a just life, and to act unjustly is to bring dishonor upon oneself. The moral lesson here is clear: wrongdoing has personal and broader consequences, and no one is exempt from the moral law of accountability.the concept of fairness, accountability, and the impartial nature of justice. To defy justice is to engage in unethical conduct, violating principles of right and wrong that are fundamental to the proper functioning of society. The ethical dimension here is rooted in the idea that justice is impartial and applies equally to all.Justice may take time, but in the end, those who act unethically will face the consequences of their actions.justice is a divine, immutable principle that cannot be evaded. Morally, it underscores the personal dishonor and inevitable downfall that accompanies unjust actions. Ethically, it emphasizes the impartiality and accountability of justice, highlighting that no one can escape the consequences of unethical behavior. Taken together, these perspectives convey the idea that justice is not merely a human institution but a higher truth that governs both the moral and ethical dimensions of life, ensuring that those who defy it will face the consequences.

She is a human-like representation of the natural and moral order. The name derives from the Greek word meaning that which is current and contemporary. She also represents the low and undisputed order, the divine right.

She was the goddess that created the divine laws that govern everything and are even above gods themselves. Themis is also called justice.

The Sims 4 Greek Goddess Legacy Challenge

This is a Sims 4 legacy challenge based on the major goddesses of Greek mythology. Ideally, this is a matriarchal legacy with ten generations. Some generations specify an exact number of children, but each generation should have at least one child (fingers crossed for a girl, but hey, I am not opposed to cheating in this circumstance). The idea of a legacy is to carry on genetics for multiple generations, so while I tried to make each generation embody its goddess as much as possible, we simply cannot have virgin, childless sims for a legacy challenge.

Each generation should complete its aspiration and max the two specified skills. Reaching level 10 of the career is an additional challenge you can include. Most expansion packs and many game packs are used in this challenge...feel free to make changes based on what you have.

I did not write a whole narrative for each generation because I think wiggle room for personal storytelling is nice. Enjoy! 😃
