Greek Mythology From A To Z:

Something was in that Spartan water 💀

Hector victor over Patroclus / Ettore vincitore su Patroclo

by Fabio Fabbi

Did you know that Antilochus was among Helen's suitors?

peleus: my son cannot be a suitor. he is only 6. far too young.

meanwhile nestor: [presenting helen with what can only be described as a fresh out the womb baby] a great husband, no? a real charmer.

for @mythologicalnet event: siblings

phobos, greek god of fear, & his twin brother deimos, god of terror

Antilochus: *breaking the news of Patroclus’ death to Achilles* now, don’t overreact-

Achilles: *already digging his grave and shoveling dirt on himself* too late for that.

Greek mythology from A to Z:

[H] - Hebe (Ἥβη) was the goddess of youth, she served nectar and ambrosia to the Olympians.

Greek mythology from A to Z:

[N] - Nyx (Νύξ) was the personification of the night, and the daughter of Chaos.

Antilochus: I’m going to Taco Bell do you want anything?

Achilles: *crying* I just want Patroclus back

Antilochus: Yeah…I only have like…12 dollars…

Norse mythology from A to Z:

[E] - Eostre, according to the stories, is a goddess associated with flowers and springtime.

Eostre first makes her appearance in literature about thirteen hundred years ago in the Venerable Bede’s Temporum Ratione. Bede tells us that April is known as Eostremonath, and is named for a goddess that the Anglo-Saxons honored in the spring.

Interestingly, Eostre doesn’t appear anywhere in Germanic mythology, and despite assertions that she might be a Norse deity, she doesn’t show up in the poetic or prose Eddas either. However, she could certainly have belonged to some tribal group in the Germanic areas, and her stories may have just been passed along through oral tradition.

Greek mythology from A to Z:

[I] - Icarus was the son of the famous craftsman Daedalus.

Daedalus managed to create two sets of wings for himself and his son, that were made of feathers glued together with wax. He taught Icarus how to fly and warned him not to fly too high, which would cause the wax to melt, nor too low, which would cause the feathers to get wet with sea water. Together, they flew out of the tower towards freedom. However, Icarus soon forgot his father’s warnings, and started flying higher and higher, until the wax started melting under the scorching sun. His wings dissolved and he fell into the sea and drowned.
