MYTH-TOBER 2024 6. Aphrodite

Aphrodite is a very interesting goddess about whom I have many mini fackts like that according to some versions she was born with a blue rose in her hair, which is why I draw her like that. She was also supposed to have a chariot harnessed to white pigeons, she won Paris competition and thanks to receiving the apple of discord, and by that she contributed to the start of the Trojan War (and stood on the side of Troy) & her sacred animal is, among others, a dove, hare, sparrow, swan and more.

From the bigger myths it was that she became wife of Hephaestus as part of the takings, she did not love him and her most famous lover was Ares & they even had at least 3 and most probably 5 children (Deimos, Phobos, Harmonia, Eros and Anteros). They were caught in one of their BEDtrayals (he he, get it?) because Hephaestus set a trap for them, a golden net that he built himself and through which he exposed the pair of lovers to shame before all Olympus. However, her first relationship is even more interesting, Aphrodite was supposed to find Adonis as a baby and give him to Persephone to raise, but - as it happens in mythology - when he grew up they both fell in love with him (Persephone, NOOO!) and Zeus declared that Adonis was to spend 1/3 of the year with Aphrodite, 1/3 with Persephone, and the last 1/3 as he wanted - he chose the time with the first goddess tho. The guy died in Aphrodite's arms because he was killed by a boar… hmm a animal of Ares? HMMM well I found versions that say that the god of war actually sent it after his rival, so there may be something to it. Either way, this is one of those stories I'd rather not know, especially because of Persephone.

Was a Giant System of Roots Discovered Below the Devil’s Tower Rock Formation Good day. Hope you in good mood, if now the article will make your day. I think quite enough for serious news, so why not post something less stressful and neutral. Some quite interesting article like this one. What can prove, we don't know much about our history, cause we have a lot of interesting contradictive facts. By the way who knows how was it in real. But it might be quite interesting topic for discussion. What do you think about the quite interesting article I found, and what very very different from official historical information. hence the teary is, before world was totally different with huge trees, and all the mountains in the world it what left from that cut trees. how do you like that? Feel free to comment it. Thank you for your support! Music: Audioblocks References: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/roots-devils-tower/ #crazytheory #incradibletheory #mountainistree
