ZhaneX Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Whether Pluto or Plutus is correct for the God of Wealth, it doesn't change the fact that you called Pluto the Greek God of the Underworld as well, despite all sources seeming to say that Pluto was an entirely different god, thus making this entire argument pointless by now...

Felix Culpa Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Atlas holds up the earth. Ice, your hubris will be your downfall. You can never be too sure of yourself. As ZhaneX said, why not just agree to disagree. If we ever meet again, I'll send you to Hades (the Underworld) where you belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, I could care less if I get sent to Hades. I've been wanting to go there for vacation recently anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Culpa Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 You were right, I was wrong. I had read once that he held the earth up, but the source must've been faulty, as it says he bore the weight of the world and held the pillar that held apart the earth and the heavens everywhere else. -sigh- Ice, I just said that we shoudl agree to disagree and you start the argument anew. I'm telling you what is written in FACT. Pluto and Hades are the same god. He is referred to as two different names, even though most think that Pluto is only the Roman name. In fact, Pluto is derived from the Greek word for wealth, which is my user title. Hades rules the Underworld, as in all that exists below the earth's surface, not just the region we refer to as Hades. Therefore, he is also the God of the Riches of the Earth, thus the God of Wealth. I'm just explaining to you, once again, what is fact. Not opinion. I doubt you have every collection of Greek myth in the world. Pluto is the Greek god Hades, and Pluto is also the Roman god of the Underworld, Hades' Roman counterpart. Now that that is settled, let us change the topic. The Erinyes torture souls as they walk the earth, and are normally described as in number of threes. What is your opinion on these creatures?

Night Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Tartarus is used as a name for the general area of the Underworld' date=' elite. Hades and Dis are used alternatively, and the [b']Greeks referred to him as Pluto[/b], not Hades. And the number of pomegranate seeds Persephone ate and the number of months she's in the Underworld vary between 4 and 8. You feeling ok? The Romans reffered to him and other gods as planets. Not the greeks. Why would tehy give a god to names? Exactly why didn't they give zeus a "middle name" BECAUSE YOUR FKING WRONG. Case closed. I win. you lose. Now I'ma go get me some cheerios.

Azmodius Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 ...IS pretty cool. One of my favorite Indo-European mythologies. I love Zeus for his flaws too, and his rage, also, well, his godliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godot Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Oh. My. God. THERE IS A SEPERATE GOD OF funking WEALTH. Give us one article of Greek Mythology where Hades is refered to as Pluto, not articles about the God himself, 1 myth where he is called Pluto.

fenrir Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Let me get things straight. Felix thinks that Hades, Greak God of the Underworld, is actually just simply called Pluto which is the Roman name of said God? Or is everyone just debating whether there was a Greek God called 'Pluto'(I include all other derivatives)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godot Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 @ Fenrir: He thinks that Hades is called Pluto. >_> @Voyeur: Thank you. Why not be mature and admit you're wrong. I'm a dick when it comes to Greek Mythology. Deal with it. And on the current topic, Atlas, if I remember correctly, was burdened with the weight of the Sky/Heavens.

Felix Culpa Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 And yet, more people to choose to enter the argument. If you could see me right now, I'd be rolling my eyes the hardest I have ever had. We are no longer arguing about Hades. That topic is over, and now, we are discussing the Erinyes, the Greek Counterpart of the Furies. I personally think these are crucial to some point, especially in some stories, where someone makes such fatal mistakes as thinking they can defy Fate.

fenrir Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I believe that in every school history textbook/book about Greek mythology, Hades was only called Pluto by the Romans, which dicked around and just copied all the Gods from Greece. So I really don't see why there was an argument in the first place. EDIT: Fate was always a confusing subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
