Lord Frederic Leighton (British, 1830-1896) Helios and Rhodes, n.d. Helios fell in love with the sea nymph, Rhode, daughter of Poseidon, and they lived together on Rhodes as protector god and goddess, with Helios naming the island in her honour. They had seven sons, known collectively as the Heliadae, and a daughter, Electryone. Mycenaean Greeks and Minoans generally depicted women with pale or white skin and men with tanned skin. Male warriors like Odysseus were usually described as having sun-browned or bronzed skin.

I of course recognized Artemis and Athena, but who exactly are the other two members in TGOEM? Besides them, Hestia, and Hecate, the only other Greek virgin goddesses that come to mind are Astraea, Britomartis, and Electryone.

They're just a couple of nymphs in attendance :> I will stress that it's less of a virgin club this time around and more of a women's support group! Though it does sometimes become conflated with being a "virgins only club" due to Hestia being the leading lady in charge and the implications of the name, Rekindled's version of TGOEM serves two primary functions - to protect individuals against forced marriages (as they become affiliated with the 'eternal maidenhood' part of the name) and to provide a support group/therapy group/grief counselling/etc. for women who are in need, regardless of whether they want those aforementioned protections.

So while the name TGOEM has been kept to keep it 'on brand' with what LO tried to do, they're a lot less focused on body count and way more focused on providing a safe space for women/AFAB's/female-identifying/etc. individuals - regardless of whether or not they're a goddess - who are seeking support and counselling. That includes Kore.

Persephone: Goddess of Spring, Queen of the Underworld

Persephone was the goddess of spring growth & bounty.

Then on, she was also the Queen of the Underworld. Her annual return to the earth in spring was marked by the flowering of the meadows and the sudden growth of the new grain. Her return to the underworld in winter, conversely, saw the dying down of plants and the halting of growth.

Amphitrite: Goddess & Queen of the Ocean

Amphitrite was one of the 50 sea nymph (Nereid) sisters. While Amphitrite was dancing and singing with her sisters, she caught the eye of Poseidon, the God of the Ocean, who fell in love with her. Now the attentions of a powerful god proved unwanted though, and Amphitrite fled from the advances of Poseidon. Amphitrite decided to flee to the furthest extremes of the sea, or at least the Mediterranean Sea, and so the Nereid hid herself away near the Atlas Mountains at the furthest point east of the Mediterranean. The disappearance of Amphitrite only caused Poseidon to become more infatuated with the Nereid, and so the new ruler of the seas sent out aquatic creatures to find the hidden Amphitrite. One such tracker of Amphitrite was the sea god Delphin (Delphinus) who came across Amphitrite as he swam between the islands. Delphin didn’t forcibly take Amphitrite back to Poseidon, but through his eloquent words, Delphin convinced the Nereid of the positive elements of marrying Delphin, and so Amphitrite returned to the palace of Poseidon. Poseidon was so thankful to Delphin for bringing his love back to him, that the likeness of the dolphin shaped god was placed amongst the stars. Upon accepting Poseidon's hand in marriage, Amphitrite became the Goddess and Queen of the Ocean.

Electryone was the Goddess of The Sunrise, or of man's waking sense. She was the cause of men waking from their sleep every morning. Hemera is the Goddess of The Daytime. With each morn, Hemera dispersed her mother's mists, bathing the earth again in the light of the ether. Eos is a Titaness and the Goddess of The Dawn, who rose each morning from her home at the edge of the Oceanus.

portuguese:

Helios & Rhodos

"Helios and Rhodes" by Frederic Leighton

In Greek mythology, Rhodos (Ῥόδος) or Rhode (Ῥόδη) was the goddess and personification of the island of Rhodes. She was also a wife of the sun god Helios and the mother of the Heliadae (who also happened to be grandsons of the sea god Poseidon).

According to a story told by the poet Pindar, the gods decided which plots of land on Earth would belong to them, but Helios was absent, so he didn't receive anything. Soon after complaining to Zeus about it, Helios spotted a new island about to rise from the sea. So, with Zeus' approval, he claimed it only to realize the island (Rhodes) also happened to be a goddess. They ended up falling in love and having seven sons (Heliadae) and one daughter (Electryone, goddess of the sunrise) together.

Alas, Helios accidently caused the sea levels to rise and the island became submerged as a result. In his wife's honour, he named the island after her.

Today, the island is very much not submerged and is a popular tourist destination due to its rich history. Fun fact: Rhodos stems from the ancient Greek word ρόδον (rhódon - rose), so it's also referred to as the island of roses.

A short love poem I wrote inspired by this painting of Helios and Rhodes:

Dawn dew coats my skin,

and it feels protected.

But protection isn't enough;

It needs to be all-encompassed—

the way the morn sun illuminates

all the spring flora, no matter their hue.

Each of your arms is a sunray,

and my body has never wanted envelopment

with another the way it does with you. 

🇬🇷Greek Translation:

Η δροδία της αυγής καλύπτει το δέρμα μου

και αισθάνεται προστατευμένο.

Αλλά η προστασία δεν είναι αρκετή.

Χρειάζεται να συμπεριλαμβάνεται παντού-

τον τρόπο που φωτίζει ο πρωινός ήλιος

όλα τα ανοιξιάτικα λουλούδια

ανεξάρτητα από το χρώμα τους.

Κάθε χέρι σου είναι ηλιαχτίδα,

και το σώμα μου πότε δεν ήθελε περικάλυψη

όπως το θέλει με σένα.

Like a sun goddess. You have been glowing with beauty.

Oooooh~ A sun goddess~ That would be Alectrona. Goddess of Sun and The Morning. She was the daughter of Helios. The Titan Sun God before Apollo took the throne. Electryone means amber, shining, iridescent. Perfect for a goddess of the sun right? Not much is known about her. Other than she died a virgin during the war of the gods and Titans. After the war, It is said that Apollo still honored her purity and her name in his court. Not much is known about her other than it was said she would glow with beauty, and was often seen with sunflowers.

Sorry. I'm a bit of a mythology nerd. Fun hobby ^.^

[sebastianshaw]

Absolutely horrid anatomy, but I’m unlikely to draw her again sooo-- My Eternals comics OC from like 2017, Tanit. She’s the daughter of Astarte and Electryon, two Eternals who appear as villains in a single issue of X-Force during the 1990s. Because that’s my brand, one-issue minor baddies from the 90s. Tan’s personality is admittedly almost exactly like Sersi. She’s very fun-loving and enjoys living among mortals, but also has no personal attachment to them since they’re so transient and interchangeable to her (which us UNLIKE Sersi, who does have attachment for humans and protects them as a suphero). She greatly enjoys her long lifespan and sneers at any other immortal who angsts about theirs. She also sneers at mutants for thinking THEY’RE the next big evolutionary thing, when GODS like herself have been walking about humans for ages. If I can ever be arsed to, I’ll probably redesign her based on a Tunisian actress, to better reflect the Punic goddess she’s named for. I also have been wanting to make on called Dyana (as in Diana, as in Artemis) for ages because like. . .self-insert reasons, obvy. Who would my Eternalsona be named for if not the goddess of animals and no-boys-allowed, right?

Our Fascination With LIGHT! Mankind always had a fascination with LIGHT. The ancient Egyptians worshiped the SUN The greeks also had many sun gods Helios, god and personification of the Sun who drove across the sky in a chariot. Apollo, god of the Sun and light, among others. His most common epithet was Phoebus (“Radiant”) Eos, goddess and personification of the dawn. Hemera, goddess of the day. Electryone, goddess of the sunrise. Light is divine, without LIGHT there would be no life. In many different faith traditions, many people are encouraged to be light to others or to bring light to others Who would have thought that thanks to modern technology called LifeWave that one of the many ways one can bring "the light" to others would in 2021 include the LifeWave patch technology. Our many success stories are indisputable if one remains factual. LifeWave technology is not only changing but also saving lives every day. For many LIFE would not be worth living if it was not for the LifeWave patches. Helping others is also your basic purpose. Thankfully helping others is something that we at LifeWave are very good at. We have already and will continue to provide effective help to many. Sadly many millions more are still lost in the dark and about to give in, they are seeking our help . Take your LifeWave patches with you wherever you go and "Shine The Light" on someone crying out for help. Doing this will make you many new friends for life.

ELECTRYONE

In Greek mythology, Electryone was a daughter of Helios and Rhodos. She died a virgin and was worshiped as a heroine on the island of Rhodes. It is speculated that she was possibly a goddess of the morning, or of man's sense which causes him to wake up in the morning; the Doric form of her name is akin to the Greek word for "rooster", while the Attic form Electryone is akin to the word for "amber", as in the amber color of sunrise; either of which would be an appropriate name for a solar goddess.
