#egyptian nor greek mythology aren't really my thing--i'm partial to celtic
Text
I learned something fascinating this evening.
In Egyptian mythology, Apep, the god of chaos and darkness who could take the form of a snake, devours the sun god, Ra. Apep's Greek equivalent is Erebus/Erebos, with whom Aaravos shares a similar name, and who is referenced on Aaravos' official TDP wiki page.
And what did Aaravos, the chaotic elf with a snake-esque familiar who gifted dark magic to humanity, do? Swallowed the sun queen.
I love mythology.
