Ce soir, continuons à explorer les mythes de la ville de Thèbes ! Cadmos en a fondé la citadelle, deux de ses filles, Autonoé et Sémélé, ont eu des enfants un poil célèbres mythologiquement parlant, qu'advient-il de ses deux autres filles : Ino et Agavé ? Et leur vie ne sera-t-elle qu'un long fleuve tranquille malgré les nombreux dieux et déesses tendant à popper dans leur vie ?

The #AventineTriad, #Ceres, #Liber and #Libera, honored in the ancient temple on the #roman #AventineHill

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aventine_Triad

Interesting is the connection within the triad between #Ceres (#Demeter), #Liber (#Dionysos) and #Libera (#Kore/#Persephone or #Ariadne) deities of the earth and the underworld and given the greek myths related.
