"He [#Zeus] went to #Semele in Kadmos' palace. Then her mortal frame could not endure the tumult of the heavens; that gift of love consumed her. From her womb her baby, still not fully formed, was snatched, and sewn (could one believe the tale) inside his father's thigh, and so completed there his mother's time."

For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. #Sogbo or #Sobo is a lwo (spirit, god) in Haitian #Vodou with a flaming ram as is symbol. He is the #lwo of thunder and is always worshipped and depicted with his inseparable companion #Bade, who is the lwo of wind. Together they are represented by the #Catholic image of Saints Cosmas and Damian in the syncretic Haitian Vodou.

For #BlackHistoryMonth, I want to introduce African deities in my daily god toots. Today, meet Zeus' colleague #Hevioso, the God of Thunder & Lightning from #Benin. He's also a God of Justice, punishing evildoers through death by lightning. Therefore, people killed by lightning don't receive a proper burial but are ritually burnt. If Hevioso's lightning sets a house on fire it must not be put out & can't be rebuilt before the rite of atonement.

CW: Sculpture with a baby emerging from a cut in the thigh
It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / Thorsday!
Birth of #Dionysos by George Platt Lynes, 1945-49
The infant god is emerging from his father's thigh.
There is a hypothesis that Dionysos was sewn into Zeus' thigh in September as a 6 month preemie and therefore was born the second time in December.#DayOfZeus #Zeus #AncMedReception #neoclassical #GreekMythology #mythology
