  1. hello everyone! my name is Mel and I'll be your server owner today...

    I'm a 30something applied computer science student with a focus in web development and #Linux. I wanted to create this instance primarily so I'd have a social media presence without having to, yknow, sell my data or put up with bigoted admins.

    I'm also #Pagan, specifically of the #Hellenic variety. I work primarily with #Hermes, but also #Apollon and #Aphrodite.

  2. Derrière le casse du siècle au #Louvre, le déconcertant « #DoudouCrossBitume », #voleur présumé de la galerie d’#Apollon.

    L’un des suspects mis en examen pour le vol de joyaux de la Couronne de France au #musée #parisien fut une star sur les #RéseauxSociaux pour ses vidéos de #RodéosUrbains.

    Un délinquant de faible envergure dont le profil tranche avec les faits et qui aurait agi sur commande.

  3. Have a courageous Day of Ares aka Mars' Day aka Tuesday 🗡️

    "Among them sports Ares and keen-eyed Argeiphontes [Hermes], while Apollon plays his lyre."

  4. @mythology @pagan Today is 7 Thargelion, the birthday of #Apollon and second day of the #Thargelia festival in ancient #Athens. On the 7th, good things were invited in. A special offering was made to Apollon as guardian of the crops. This is the thargelos, a first-fruits offering of the earliest harvest, made by boiling grains and other vegetables in a pot. In modern times, offer some of the first-fruits of your region to Apollon, make a festive meal of them and enjoy the food.

    " #Turing le logicien, qui s'intéressait aux probabilités et rêvait déjà de créer un cerveau artificiel, n'a-t-il pas inventé en chemin le langage informatique ?"

    "Mais #Dionysos veille et occupe des zones cérébrales anciennes/souterraines, les circuits du plaisir et de la récompense, cerveau humide et hormonal qui nous donne envie de #vivre..."

  7. It is the birthday of #Apollon today, day 7 of the ancient Athenian month #Thargelion. Apollon is the younger twin brother of Artemis and an archer like her. He is the boyfriend of all nine Muses and therefore a skilled musician and god of the arts. He also has numerous male lovers in myth, a true #bicon.
    Celebrate his birthday by reading a hot story about the most beautiful god:

  8. @mythology Distraught at the murder of his child, #Apollon shed countless tears which can still be found today as drops of amber. In his grief, he shot the Kyklopes who forged his father's deadly thunderbolts. To punish him, #Zeus made Apollon live on earth and serve a mortal for nine years. But #Asklepios was raised among the gods, a great joy to mortals as soother of cruel pain and healer of humankind.

  9. @mythology #Asklepios is the son of #Apollon and the mortal woman Koronis, who cheated on him while pregnant. Depending on the source either Artemis or Apollon himself shot her for her infidelity but the baby was saved by Apollon or his brother Hermes. Asklepios is a gifted physician and learned the art of medicine from his adoptive brother #Chiron, the wise #centaur. But Asklepion should eventually surpass his master by literally bringing the dead back to life!

  10. Rhoeo landed on #Delos, an island sacred to #Apollon, and left their son Anios in the care of his father. Apollon taught him the arts of divination and prophecy. As a grown man, Anios became Apollon's priest and the king of Delos. When the Greeks came to Delos on their way to #Troy, Anios prophesied that the #TrojanWar would not be won until the 10th year and invited them to stay for 9 years.
    They refused.

  11. It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / #Thursday! ⚡

    Meet Etruscan #Zeus or #Tinia watch his adult son #Hercle being breastfed by his wife #Uni [Hera] as a sign of adoption. #Aplu [#Apollon] and another god and goddess are present to witness the ritual too.

  12. In the 19th century, the popularity of Graeco-Roman myths was still going strong. This is a 19th century painting of #Apollon, catching his lover #Hyakinthos who has been hit fatally by the discus they played with. It can be seen lying on the ground. Apollon is identified by a quiver of arrows on his back.
    The scene is tender and incredibly sad. I like to think Apollon and the Muses inspired it.

  13. Today, the gods of healing are still alive in the Hippocratic Oath:

    "I swear by #Apollon Iatros (the Doctor), and #Asklepios, and #Hygeia, and Panakeia (Panacea), and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath."

    The original oath was written in Ionic Greek, between the fifth and third centuries BCE. It still influences current medical ethics and alternative modern versions of the oath like the Declaration of Geneva.

  14. An older god of healing who appears in the #Iliad as the Healer of the Gods is #Paian. In the Iliad, Paian heals #Ares after the latter is injured by #Diomedes and #Athena through medicine that produces instant relief. #Hades is healed in a similar fashion after #Herakles' arrow (thankfully without hydra blood) pierces him.
    Paian is later reduced to an epithet of both #Apollon and his son #Asklepios.
    A god that is not usually associated with medicine but has a healing aspect is #Dionysos.

  15. In fact, #Asklepios learned the art of medicine from #Chiron, a centaur raised and educated by #Apollon. Chiron in turn raised and educated many famous heroes in their youth, among them #Achilles, Apollon's son Aristaios, and Kokytos, whom Chiron had taught medicine and who cared for #Adonis when he was wounded by the wild boar.
    Chiron was wounded by an arrow dipped in the blood of the hydra, giving up is immortality to end his agony. The healer could not heal himself. 😔

  16. This week's #MythologyMonday theme is healing. The God of Healing is #Apollon but there are other gods who share in a subset of his power. Apollon's son #Asklepios famously brought dead people back to life. Deified after his untimely death by Zeus' thunderbolt, he received a cult of his own, the Temples of Asklepios serving as hospitals. Asklepios had children of his own, among them Panacea (Cure-all), and Hygieia (Health).
    But he is not the only healing god associated with Apollon.

  17. Im looking for more Apollo devotees to follow, or anyone who worships Apollo regularly. Any of the other Theo devotees are welcome as well! I'm trying to create a very Greco-Roman space to live in digital (:
