  1. Who is Pontus

    In Greek mythology, #Pontus is the primordial god of the Sea, one of the first beings to emerge from #Gaia, the Earth. He represents the deep, unshaped waters that existed before the seas were ruled by #Poseidon or filled with life.

    With Gaia, Pontus fathered many ancient sea deities, including #Nereus, #Thaumas, #Phorcys, #Ceto, and #Eurybia. Together, they shaped the mysteries and creatures of the ocean.

  6. Who is Erebus

    In Greek mythology, #Erebus is the god and personification of darkness and shadow, one of the first beings to emerge from #Chaos. He represents the deep gloom that fills the spaces between the world and the Underworld.

    Erebus is often seen as the brother and companion of #Nyx, and together they brought forth many of the darker forces of existence, like #Sleep, #Death, and #Dreams.

  7. Who is Tartarus

    In Greek mythology, #Tartarus is one of the first beings to emerge from Chaos, existing even before the gods. It is both a primordial deity and a vast, dark abyss deep beneath the Earth.

    Tartarus is described as a gloomy pit, far below even the #underworld, surrounded by mist and darkness. It represents the deepest part of existence — a place of confinement and punishment for the enemies of the gods.

  8. Hey… I’m Life or Death.
    I don’t really see many people around here talking about the old gods anymore, so I figured—why not me?
    I’m not some scholar or expert, just someone who’s been walking this path and learning as I go.
    If you’ve ever felt that quiet pull toward something ancient, something sacred… then maybe you’ll feel at home here too.

  10. #OTD the ancient Athenian #Dionysia would have started, a week-long celebration in honour of #Dionysos with lots of drinking and #theatre productions of tragedies, comedies, and satyr plays. 🎭

    As it's also #BumDayMonday, I'm starting the Dionysia off with two beautiful Dionysian bum cheeks.

  11. #OTD is the #Diasia, an appeasement festival in honor of #Zeus Meilikhios (Kindly Zeus), which took place in the Attic countryside to welcome spring with solemn but joyful celebrations and honour the chthonic aspect of Zeus. There were night rites with sheep or pig-shaped bread or pastry offerings, sacrifices, feasting, dances and hymn chanting 🎶

  12. @pagan @antiquidons The last day of the #Anthesteria is called #Chytroi or #Khýtroi, 'The Pots'. It's a festival of the dead where fruit or pulse is offered to the souls of the dead, who are then bidden to depart, and to #Hermes Chthonios, who should guide them back to the underworld. No one is supposed to eat the pottage, which is food of the dead. A rehearsal to select the players for the City Dionysia also takes place on this day.

  13. Today is the #Pithoigia, the first day of the Athenian #Anthesteria festival in honour of #Dionysos. It lasts three days, from the 11th to the 13th of the month of Anthesterion.

    The Anthesteria festival celebrates the beginning of Spring and in particular the maturing of the wine stored at the previous vintage, whose pithoi (storage-jars) were now ceremoniously opened. Spring flowers decorate the house and drinking vessels.

    Thank you so much for the mention! Being a part of this Hellenic nonprofit organization has been a lot more fulfilling than I expected. I've learned a lot, especially after taking up a Social Media Coordinator position. We've expanded to other platforms, like Tumblr, Patreon, and here, but Facebook is currently our main hub (2.1k members and growing!)

    I voted Leto, however, #Hera and #Rhea do not get enough credit, in my opinion. Both of them are wonderful mothers who were not written about enough to show us how wonderful they really are.

  20. I posted a digital altar for Zeus as a test video for a collaborative project. Thoughts? If liked, I plan to make one for many of the gods to allow people to use their phones as digital altars when needing to be discreet. Posted on Tumblr as a test run.

  27. 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 (:
