Iuppiter ⛈️

"O Iuppiter, who does cherish and nurture the human race, through whom we live and draw the breath of being, in whom rest the hopes and lives of all humankind, I pray You grant that this day may prosper that which I have in hand."

- Plautus Poenulus 1187-89

Sometimes I'd like to take my brain out of my head and kick it like a soccerball into the atmosphere to establish dominance.

Roma'nın Kökeni ve Kuruluş Mitolojisi

Roma'nın ünlü şairi Vergilius tarafından yazılan Aeneas Destanı, Roman tarihi açısından oldukça önemlidir. Bu destan, Roma şehrinin kuruluşunu ve aslında Romalıların kökenine değinir.

Bilindiği üzere Roma tanrıların çoğu Antik Yunan tanrılarıyla aynıdır, sadece birçoğunun ismi farklıdır. (Venüs - Afrodit, Athena - Minevra, Zeus - Iupiter gibi) Bu durum esinlenmekten ya da çalmaktan değil tam tersi Roma'nın kökeninin de Troya'ya dayanmasından kaynaklanır.

Aeneas Destanı'nın baş kahramanı Aeneas, Troyalı bir prensti. Harabeye dönen şehirden kaçarak Batı İtalya'da bulunan Latium'a ulaşır ve orada bir krallık kurar. Latinium Krallığı, Roma İmparatoruluğunun kurulduğu topraklarıdır ve imparatorluğun temellerini oluşturur, bu şehir imparatorluğa uzun süre başkentlik de yapmıştır.

Vergilius, Aeneas'ı tanıtırken onun annesinin tanrıça Venüs olduğunu söyler ve tanrıçanın Roma İmparatoru Augustus ile bir kan bağına sahip olduğunu da ekler. Destandaki bu detay da, Antik Yunan tanrılarının soy olarak Roma tanrıları da olduğununun göstergesidir.

Roma'nın kuruluşu ile ilgili bir diğer mit-destan ise ünlü Romalı tarihçi Livius'a aittir. Livius, miti de aslında Aeneas'a dayanır.

Antik Roma'nın aile tanrıçası olan Vesta adına ailelerin küçük kız çocuklarından seçilen ve adlarına Vesta Bakireleri denen bakirelerden Aeneas'ın soyundan gelen Rhea Silvia, savaş tanrısı Mars'ın (Yunan mitolojisinde Ares) tecavüzüne uğrar. Bu olay sonrasında ise ikiz oğulları olur. Anne, bir tecavüzün sonucu olan ikizleri, nehire bırakıp boğulmaya terk etmek zorunda kalır. Dişi bir kurt tarafından bulunup emzirilen ikizler Romulus ve Remus sonrasında bir çoban tarafından evlat edinilir. Büyüdüklerinde bir şehir kuracaklarının hayaliyle büyüyen çocuklar, bu şehre de Roma adını vereceklerini daha henüz küçükken karar vermiştir. Büyüdüklerinde ise kardeşlerden Romulus kurulan şehrin, Roma'nın ilk kralı olmuştur.

the winds huh, wow, I thought you'd be a bit...more, y'know?

@lightning-prince-of-gods

What do you mean by that? Aquilon, what do they mean by that?

I don't know, Sir Aeolus, ask them.

Mason, child of Iupiter and Iuno, what did you mean by that?

Daily French Etymology #55

Days of the Week

Lundi was derived from the Latin *Lūnae diēs, a variant of diēs Lūnae, meaning day of the moon. Lūnae comes from Luna, meaning moon, which was ultimately derived from the PIE root *lówksneh₂, meaning moon, from *lewk which meant to shine.

Mardi came from the Latin diēs Mārtis, meaning day of Mars, the god of war. The name Mars was derived from the Old Latin Mavors, from the Proto-Italic *Māwortis.

Mercredi originated from the Latin diēs Mercuriī, meaning day of Mercury, the Roman equivalent to Hermes. The name of the god, Mercurius, may have come from merx, meaning merchandise.

Jeudi comes from the Latin diēs Iovis, meaning day of Jupiter, the king of the gods. Jupiter, or Iupiter, was derived from the Proto-Italic *djous patēr, meaning father of the gods. *Djous, meaning day or sky, came from the PIE root *dyew-, meaning to be bright.

Vendredi was derived from the Latin diēs Veneris, meaning day of Venus. The name Venus originated from the Proto-Italic *wenos, meaning love, from the PIE root *wenh₁- meaning to wish or love.

Samedi came from the Vulgar Latin *sambatum, from the Latin diēs Sabbatī, meaning day of the Sabbath. Diēs Sabbatī originated from sabbatum, meaning Sabbath, from the Ancient Greek sábbaton. sábbaton was derived from the Biblical Hebrew shabát, of the same meaning.

Dimanche comes from the Late Latin diēs Dominicus, meaning day of the Lord. Dominicus originated from the Latin dominus, meaning lord or master.

Jupiter / Iupiter, God of thunder and the sky

Praise be to Jupiter, King of the gods, for all that he has blessed me with. His kindness will not go unpaid and I shall praise him until my final breath. May he always be honored!

Something comedic is the way some Roman polytheists have warned me about Bellona, citing her as dangerous and bloody. As if lightning of Iupiter is less deadly, or the arrows of Cupid sweet and not stinging.

Bellona is intense, yes, and she is a bloody goddess, but she is lovely all the same.

*Tap, tap* ... is this on?

Now then... salutations! The name's Arubianus. Or Iupiter Arubianus. He/Him is preferred!

I am the Celtic god of skies! And also fields! Similar to Zeus. Though I don't control lightning as he does, nor have a very cool, snazzy thunder bolt.

I wish I had one. :(

But if you need your crops watered, your sky bright, want to become one of my kids or anything else, I'm the man!

When I got here, I lost a lot of my memories. I saw how Ataegina tells about her life, but I can't do that, so I shall play the saxophone for you-! 🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷

(This is where you clap, haha...!)

Anyway! Ahaha, this is awkward, but... my colleagues of sorts are Bedaius (best friend <3), Celeia (she's a bit scary) and Ataegina (SCARY. DO NOT APPROACH) - atleast those are the ones I remember. But I'm willing to make more acquaintances, ofcourse...

I am supposed to add on which animal stands for me. But shock of all shock, I do not remember. Haha. But I like Golden Retrievers...? Does that count?

If you have anything to ask, don't be shy! :)

OOC: RP blog for Lord Arubianus! Ask anything :) OCs and Greek deities, EPIC characters, PJO characters all welcome! Have fun! Dividers are by .strangergraphics :D

Jupiter Amon i Gorgona, Kapitolij (forum), Jader, II. st., Arheološki muzej Zadar

Jupiter je vrhovno božanstvo rimskog pantheona. Lat. naziv Iuppiter, kao i u grč. proizlazi iz indoeuropskog korjena dios- dieu= dan, nebo te italskog pater= otac; dios+pater= dispater- iupiter- iuppiter. Malo je poznato o Jupiteru prije asimilacije s grčkim Zeusom- nakon čega skoro u potpunosti poprima Zeusove kompetencije i ikonografske elemente. Izvorno- zaštitnik jasnog neba; posvečene su mu Ide- prema mjesečevom kalendaru dani punog mjeseca kada je nebo najsvjetlije; kao zaštitniku neba- hramovi na vrhovima brežuljaka; zaštitnik neba- zaštitnik usjeva i žetve, zaštitik vina; zaštitnik dane riječi i prava te „međunarodnih” odnosa.

Glava Gorgone/Meduze sastavni dio vojničke ikonografije. U rimskom razdoblju sastavni dio ikonografija javne arhitekture (trijem foruma, bazilika i sl.).

More WoD OCs!

Ino Giovanni (born in 1819), former heiress to one of the house's seats in Southern Tyrol, was embraced prematurely (1830) in order to save her from tuberculosis, upon which she immediatly fled her screwed up family, settling for a more "simple" life in a former homestead below the Capuchin Catacombs.

Iupiter Rossellini (born in 1756, embraced in 1770), a rogue relative from one of the major branches of the house, has become her adoptive brother and he continuously ensures their safety from the rest of their wicked kin by hiring only the best guards, paying them in vitae (currently they're under the protection of a Dunsirn-family-branch Black Spiral Ronin)

Surprisingly, neither Ino nor her brother are actually necromancers, with Iupiter focusing purely on his brute strength while Ino has taken to studying Thaumaturgy (Path of the Father's Vengeance) from a grimoire in their guard's possession.

Der Spreebogen, ganz früh, an einem Sommermorgen. Noch ohne Touristen. Nur bißchen Polizei unterwegs, die Heimstätten der Macht zu beschützen. So schön Iupiter-Iovis-blitzmäßig spiegelt sich das Licht nur am ganz frühen Morgen in den Fenstern. Muß man sich schon in den Hintern treten und früh aufstehen.

Und da ich da die Kreuze sehe: Hab ich mich kürzlich zu hart über die armen Kokser geäußert? Natürlich sollte man niemandem wirklich in die Beine schießen! Das war doch Ironie, Mensch.

Und wer einen geliebten Menschen an Koks oder Speed verloren hat, sollte ihn natürlich nicht aufgeben. Hinter der nervtötenden Hülle steckt noch immer ein Mensch. Aber vielleicht kann man versuchen, den Patienten umzustellen? Auf Heroin oder so zum Beispiel? Irgendwas bodenständiges, ehrliches, erprobtes? Ne saubere Heroinabhängigkeit ist doch ne ganz andere Liga als die halbseidene, überteuerte Kokserei. Da hat man was handfestes, da erlebt man was, da kann man den Enkeln später schöne Geschichten erzählen. Vielleicht mal drüber nachdenken. Oder bei Lauterbach im Gesundheitsministerium anfragen, was die so empfehlen. Die raten bestimmt auch eher zum Pieks. Und zum nachfolgenden Booster, alle 8h. -- Muß ich jetzt "Ironie aus" schreiben? Ironie aus. Ganz todernst gesprochen: Je älter ich werde, desto sympathischer ist mir der nüchterne Mensch. Auch wenn ich überhaupt nix habe gegen einen Bayern mit 3 Bier drin oder einen Franzosen mit ner halben Flasche Rotwein im Kopf. Theoretisch müssten die moslemischen Mitbürger die sympathischsten sein.

2100/2101

Druhý ročník byl prapodivný.

Všichni hrozně vytáhli do výšky. Orion se najednou přestal cítit nejmladším na hradě, protože jím najednou nebyl. Nábor do famfrpálového týmu dopadl ještě lépe, než doufal; dostal se jako náhradník na post odrážeče bez sebemenších pochyb. Iupiter i Perseus na něj byli docela pyšní, i když ho významně upozorňovali, aby díky famfrpálu nepřeložil studium na druhou kolej.

Neznali ho dostatečně na to, aby věděli, že něco takového rozhodně neudělá.

V Bradavicích dělal přesně to, co se od něj čekalo. Studoval, hrál famfrpál, nepravidelně jedl, četl mudlovskou klasickou literaturu a dostal se na tempo jedné knihy za měsíc až šest týdnů, což považoval za významnou výhru nad dyslexií, která ho žere snad čím dál víc.
