The Beginnings of Man -Part 1
The nature of Man has evolved over millions of years, changed by environmental conditions, by the response of his instinctual nature and by the actions of his ego. Man’s inner characteristics are altogether different from the ancestral root which governs other species. Why then is he so different?https://tonyaholisticblog.com/2026/08/31/the-beginnings-of-man-part-1/

Another favorite ancient deity of ours associated with lions is Isthar / Inanna, who we met on the pod all the way back in Season 1 in our Taurus episode.
Here she is seemingly walking a lion on a leash like the epic warrior/love/ date (the fruit) / wool / rain (etc) goddess she is!

Ancient Babylonians & Ancient Greeks looked at this part of the night sky and said eh.
But then Petrus Plancius came along and slapped a giraffe on it -- thus, #camelopardalis was born!

In this week's episode, we tried to create a #myth inspired by #GreekMythology for the #constellation #camelopardalis
While ours were (maybe) a little mid, the Oracle (#AI) paragraph had us like:

#MythologyMonday let's talk about King Lycaon...
King Lycaon had 50 sons. He killed one of his sons & fed him to Zeus (because... idk something about wanting to test Zeus's omniscience... or something?)
Zeus was so upset (which is sort of rich coming from this guy), he turned King Lycaon into a wolf.

As for me, I'm not interested. I wrote about why not.

My ret-constellation for the #constellation #sagitta was to align it with a modern archer (rather than random assorted Hercules stories or an Apollo killing cyclops story) -- some options I considered:
Kate Bishop Hawkeye
Merida from Brave
Robin Hood... but ultimately, who would be better than Legolas?!

In this week's #podcast on the #constellation Sagitta -- we learned there are at least 3 distinct groups of Cyclopes in #GreekMythology
Here's a primer:
Homeric --> includes the one who was famously killed by "No One"
Hesiodic --> the ones killed by Apollo, who created the lightening bolt (no, i don't know how they square this with Hephaestus)
Wall Builders --> the ones who, uh, built walls...
Listen to this week's episode to see which group is associated with this constellation's lore: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/sagitta-myths-and-retconstellations/#GreekMythology #Cyclops #StarLore #GreekMyth #Homer #Mythology #Myths #legends #lore #monsters

The Problem of Defining #God
https://new.exchristian.net/2024/03/the-problem-of-defining-god.html
Is there one God or many? Does He have all the omni traits or is He limited in some ways? Does He care about us, or are we insignificant bugs to Him? How do we know the answers to any of these, and many similar questions? The usual answer is that there is a #holy book, the #Quran, #Bible or #BookofMormon for example, which tells us about this being.
