Greek Mythology

[Luna Lovegood]

Odin is the best mythological god.

 

Prove Me wrong.

 

My Apollo fetish says hi.

 

Odin can see into the future' date=' because he sacrificed his eye for complete knowledge of runes, past present and future.

His spear can hit any target and will never break.

He never eats anything, only drinks mead. He gives his food to his pet wolves.

His Ravens, Memory and Thought, go and fly around the world gathering information about wars or peace and bring it back to Odin so he is up to date with the whole World.

He isn't real.

 

You couldn't have picked a worse thread to point that out in. xD

 

Following up on my point, I have decided he has some flaws, because I can.

 

1. He is allergic to banana's.

2. He is afraid of clowns.

3. He sometimes has nightmares and wets the bed.

4. He loves penguins for some un-known reason.

Greek mythology is so complicated.

 

Not really. It gets easier once you're done with the basics and such. But the immense amount of minor Gods/Goddesses get annoying sometimes.

 

Your an idiot. Do you understand the gods who have no form? Or Gaea and Ouranus? Greek mythology is complicated sh*t man.

 

UPDATE: Protogenoi are the original set of gods. They somehow managed to have kids (Uranus) without having bodies.

The minor gods are more complicated then the Titans or Gaea and Ouranus. But, I do agree with you on the No-Form Gods. Those shits get annoying.

Lets face it, Gaea was Ouranus' father and wife. That is ridiculous. And as I said, Protogenoi was the craziest generation of Gods.

That's the greeks for you. Protogenoi was crazy, and complicated. I should have been more specific before, I meant that the Minor Gods are more complicated in the sense it's hard to memorize them all, because there's hundreds of them.

Well duh... The Major gods wouldn't stop having sex so there ended up being like a million. I just read that there was sometimes said to be two Gods before Protogenoi!

Where. Did. You. Read. That.

 

I never heard of that. Time to use Google.

 

But it's not even the Goddesses, it was just the Gods. It goes [insert God] + [insert Random Woman] = [insert Useless God Here]

well this is one of his achivements

King Minos of Crete had waged war with the Athenians and was successful. He then demanded that, at nine-year intervals, seven Athenian boys and seven Athenian girls were to be sent to Crete to be devoured by the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull monster that lived in the Labyrinth created by Daedalus. On the third occasion, Theseus volunteered to slay the monster. He took the place of one of the youths and set off with a black sail, promising to his father, Aegeus, that if successful he would return with a white sail.Like the others, Theseus was stripped of his weapons when they sailed. On his arrival in Crete, King Minos' daughter Ariadne, out of love for Theseus, gave him a ball of string so he could find his way out. That night, Ariadne escorted Theseus to the Labyrinth, and Theseus promised that if he returned from the Labyrinth he would take Ariadne with him. As soon as Theseus entered the Labyrinth, he tied one end of the ball of string to the door post and brandished his sword which he had kept hidden from the guards inside his tunic. Theseus followed Daedalus' instructions given to Ariadne; go forwards, always down and never left or right. Theseus came to the heart of the Labyrinth and also upon the sleeping Minotaur. A tremendous fight then occurred. Theseus overpowered the Minotaur with his strength and then slit the beast's throat with his sword. Theseus used the string to escape the Labyrinth and managed to escape with all of the young Athenians and Ariadne - and her little sister Phaidra too. On the return journey Theseus abandoned Ariadne on the island of Naxos. In other versions of the story, the god Dionysus appeared to Theseus and told him that he had already chosen Ariadne for his bride, and to abandon her on Naxos, a favorite island. Ariadne then cursed Theseus to forget to change the black sail to white. Seeing a black sail, Theseus' father Aegeus committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea (hence named Aegean). Theseus and the other Athenian youths returned safely. Theseus returned safely back as a king of heroes

They're so good.

[Theseus]

I knew that. >> I've got books. And guess what I found the other day! The Odyssey Harvard Classics edition.

[::тǿρħєя::]

You people beat me to bringing up TLT.

 

I learned about half of what I know about mythology from that book.

[Theseus]

I liked the Percy Jackson books, and I'm currently trying to procure a complete set of them

I am almost done those books. On book 4. The author made a few mistakes, but they are good. Too bad there are no Protogenoi in the series.

[Theseus]

My favorite of the Protogenoi is Thanatos, the god of Death.

I like Khaos. He is Void.

[Theseus]

Well, some say Chaos, or Void, is female, because she was the mother of all the Protogenoi because all life sprang from her. And then, Gaea created Ouranos, and then made the Titans with Ouranos. That's some big incest there.
