    Poseidon turns the trident like a key.
    The land shifts.
    The Titans lose balance.
    A battle fought with silence, roots, and precision.

    ....Athena?

    "Chanelle Moon" I have also seen rendered as "Chanel Moon". Usually I roll my eyes hearing a brand name as a given name, but such is the power of Kpop to suppress my worst instincts my eyes remain unrolled.

    Athena, besides being exceptionally pretty, deserves notice as a Swedish idol; her parents are Taiwanese and Korean. Her name reminds me that I have been meaning for some time to post something here about postpagan attitudes to the Olympian deities. I hope to get round to this soon!

  18. Here's a Rod of Aesculapius, displayed on the facade of the old Barber Surgeons Hall in Newcastle upon Tyne, built in 1851. Aesculapius was the Greek god of medicine (as Asclepius), imported by the Romans during a plague epidemic in 292 BC. Aesculapius is associated with snakes, which represent healing. I have a whole Fabulous Folklore episode about him!

  19. @TeaWhileWriting I now have this interesting picture stuck in my head, so, sorry, but I have to ask. I know the Greeks didn't wear much, but is "doesn't wear anything" correct?

  20. #Ulysses31 cartoon, episode one.

    A fascinating 31st century scifi version of the travels of #Odysseus set in space. The ancient #GreekGods are alive & well here.

    Start from 1 minute 55 in if not wanting the first episode 'spoiled' by the always same opening theme recap. If #TheOdyssey can be spoiled.

  21. It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇

    Yesterday was the start of the #Lenaia, a festival dedicated to the god #Dionysos Lênaios that celebrated both his release from Zeus's thigh and his emergence from the Underworld. Its official name was "Dionysia at the Lenaion", a theatre and sanctuary in #Athens, where the festival dramas, both tragic and comic, were staged.

    Improve your day by #Aphrodite riding a goose, immortalised on a terracotta disk by an #ancientGreek artist in the 4th century BCE.

  23. It's the Day of Ares / Mars' Day / #Tuesday!

    Red-figure pottery with #Ares motif, as the Pergamon Museum in Berlin puts it. Whose hand is he holding? Is it maybe #Aphrodite being led to bed by Ares, as recounted in the #Odyssey?
    "He [Ares] took her hand and spoke thus to her: 'Come, my darling; let us go to bed and take our delight together.'"

    Marble votive relief showing #Aphrodite with her devotees.
    Dated to 4th century BCE.

    What would you ask of the Goddess of Love?

  25. It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday!

    To celebrate #ChineseNewYear, the #YearOfTheRabbit, which is Hermes' sacred animal, I want to show y'all this vase painting of #Apollon and #Hermes gifting a rabbit to the Thracian goddess #Bendis.
    Hermes is standing behind his older brother in his traveller's clothes, holding his signature kerykeion staff.

    Marble bust of #Ares after the Greek original by Alkamenes ca. 420s BCE.
    The god is depicted as a beardless youth with an elaborate helmet, the crest of which is resting on the back of a #sphinx.

  27. The cursed necklace of Harmonia is said to have given grief and suffering to everyone who owned it: #Harmonia herself was turned into a snake alongside her husband #Kadmos, her daughter #Semele was burnt by #Zeus' lightning when he kept his promise to come to her as he did to #Hera, and #Jocasta, unlucky mother and wife of #Oedipus, is said to have worn it too.

  32. This week's #MythologyMonday theme is jewels!
    When #Hephaistos found out that his wife #Aphrodite's affair with his brother #Ares had been fruitful, he crafted a cursed necklace to give to their daughter #Harmonia on her wedding day: a circlet of emeralds glowing with a hidden fire. But the adamant is stamped with figures of ill omen, and the amber, tears of #Helios' daughters, is intertwined with plague.

    #Hermes and a #satyr on their way home from the #NewYearsParty 😉
    Perhaps it is one of his three sons known as the Satyroi Hermeides, #satyrs who became the messengers of Dionysos.

  34. It's the Day of Ares / Mars' Day / #Tuesday!

    We start the #NewYear with something cute: #Ares bending down to talk to his son #Eros, depicted on a Roman oil lamp made of white clay.
    Eros is a winged young boy holding the shield and spear of his father. Ares is in the nude except for his crested helm.
    Or could it be Phobos or Deimos?
