              The thing about stories,                       𝐹𝒶𝒾𝓇𝓎 𝓉𝒶𝓁𝑒𝓈,       Is that they aren’t 𝕞𝕖𝕒𝕟𝕥 to be 𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕝…

                                                                     What they’ve told you,                                                             What you 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔 that you know…

GREEK MYTHOLOGY:   apollo.

In the Iliad, Apollo is the healer under the gods, but he is also the bringer of disease and death with his arrows, similar to the function of the terrible Vedic god of disease Rudra. He sends a terrible plague (λοιμός) to the Achaeans. The god who sends a disease can also prevent from it; therefore, when it stops, they make a purifying ceremony and offer him a hecatomb to ward off evil. When the oath of his priest appeases, they pray and with a song they call their own god, the beautiful Paean.

( Just posting this short activity update here: I’ll be more or less inactive until further notice . I don’t feel motivated when it comes to writing and role playing. I have a lot of other things on my mind now; some small projects which I want to do, changes in my life, future planning, etc. Unfortunately, at this moment, role playing and writing doesn’t iterest me. This is not towards anyone here! I love all of you but I just want to do so many other things, and writing isn’t one of them atm. I’m probably going to keep replying things slowly (1-3 times in week). I hate that this happens because there is so amazing people and I just would love to so everything with you guys but.. I just can’t :c I hope that this doesn’t mean the end of my comeback here even if I have had this feeling for a while. One the reasons why I left Hermes’ blog and made this. So this has been my feeling about writing for the past 1-2 months now. I may be taking a full break for a couple week and see what happens. I don’t make any promises but I seriously hope that I’ll get my interest back. )

GREEK MYTHOLOGY:   persephone.

She was abducted by Hades, the god of the underworld, infuriating her mother who made the crops wither and the earth barren. Zeus intervened and tried to bring Persephone back to the world of the living; however, Persephone ate the seeds of a pomegranate that Hades had given to her, binding her to him for one third of the year. Thus, it was decided that Persephone spend four months in the underworld and eight months on earth with her mother. The period in the underworld corresponded to the winter season, during which Demeter would make the soils barren due to her grief, while her return marked the start of the spring.

GREEK MYTHOLOGY:   ares.

He was disliked by both his parents. Whenever Ares appeared in a myth, he was depicted as a violent personality, who faced humiliation through his defeats more than once. In the Iliad, it is mentioned that Zeus hated him more than anyone else; Ares was also on the losing side of the Trojan War, favouring the Trojans. He was the lover of his sister, Aphrodite, who was married to Hephaestus. When the latter found out about the affair, he devised a plan and managed to humiliate both of them. The union of Ares and Aphrodite resulted in the birth of eight children, including Eros, god of love.

GREEK MYTHOLOGY:   athena.

She was fierce and brave in battle; however, she only took part in wars that defended the state and home from outside enemies. She was the patron of the city, handcraft, and agriculture. She invented the bridle, which permitted man to tame horses, the trumpet, the flute, the pot, the rake, the plow, the yoke, the ship, and the chariot. She was the embodiment of wisdom, reason, and purity. She was Zeus’ favourite child and was allowed to use his weapons including his thunderbolt. Her holy tree was the olive tree and she was often symbolised as an owl.

GREEK MYTHOLOGY.   aphrodite.

Aphrodite can also be said to have caused the Trojan War. This came about in the following fashion. When the hero Peleus was married to the sea-nymph Thetis, all the gods were invited to the ceremony – all but one that is. The slighted goddess happened to a specialist in sowing discord, so she maliciously deposited a golden apple on the banquet table. The fruit was inscribed with the legend, “For the fairest”. Immediately all the goddesses began to argue about whose beauty entitled her to be the rightful possesor of this prize.

GREEK MYTHOLOGY:   dionysus.

Dionysus wandered the world actively spreading his cult. He was accompanied by the Maenads, wild women, flush with wine, shoulders draped with a fawn skin, carrying rods tipped with pine cones. While other gods had temples to be worshipped at, the followers of Dionysus worshipped him in the woods. There, they might go into a state of ecstasy and madness, ripping apart and eating raw any animal they might come upon.
