phatman Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Originally posted by marcid21 Glow..you forgot Demeter andPersephone....Me...I'd be Persephone! actually...Glow is correct...there were 12 gods that sat on Olympus...it's been a while but there is quite a heirarchy in Greek Mythology that would take days to define...marci, you should say a little something about who you'd be for those that dont know (or cant remember...ummm...like me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcid21 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Originally posted by phatman marci, you should say a little something about who you'd be for those that dont know (or cant remember...ummm...like me) DEMETER--in Greek mythology, the goddess of agriculture, of the harvest, and of grain; a type of the earth goddess and the mother goddess. Her Roman cognate is CERES, the Roman goddess of grain, from whose name we derive the word "cereal." PERSEPHONE--the daughter of Zeus and Demeter; the Maiden of Spring. To make a long story short...Persephone was kidnapped by Hades, brother of Zeus and god of the Underworld. What happened was Eros (god of Love) shot one of his arrows, which strayed and struck Hades....The first person Hades laid eyes on after that was Persephone...with who he fell madly in love with.So Hades kidnapped Persephone and took her to the Underworld and took her as his bride. During this time Demeter refused to let any harvest grow...leaving things dismal and scarce back on earth.Apollo, the Sun God, saw this destruction and ordered Persephone to return to her mother....the catch is...Persephone, while refusing to eat while in captivity, did happen to eat a few Pomegranite seeds. These seeds supposedly "seal the deal" and mean she has to stay in the Underworld.But Apollo, being the Big Man he is...pulled some strings, and was able to get Persephone back with her mother for only half of the year....the other half she was to stay in the Underworld.....Hence....our seasons.....((was that good enough for you Phatty??))

tastyt Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Well technically- because of my name, I'm Artemis... but somehow that doesn't quite fit me... Artemis: She is the lady of the wild things.She is a virgin goddess, and the goddess of chastity. She is the protector of the young.Are there any goddesses that have somehting to do with literature and writing? A muse perhaps?BTW, Marci- I was thinking of Persephone this morning... because today is the day she is returned from Hades! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatman Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Originally posted by tastyt Well technically- because of my name, I'm Artemis... but somehow that doesn't quite fit me... A muse perhaps?The Muses are the Greek goddesses who preside over the arts and sciences and inspire those who excel at these pursuits. Daughters of Zeus, king of the gods, and Mnemosyne ("memory"), they were born at Pieria at the foot of Mount Olympus. Their nurse, Eupheme, raised them along with her son, Crotus the hunter, who was transported into the sky as Sagittarius upon his death. Their name (akin to the Latin mens and English mind) denotes 'memory' or 'a reminder', since in the earliet times poets, having no books to read from, relied on their memories. The Romans identified the Muses with certain obscure Italian water-goddesses, the Camenae. The original number of muses and their names varies in earlier times as their evolution blossomed in Greek mythology. At first, three muses were worshipped on Mount Helicon in Boeotia: Melete ("meditation"), Mneme ("memory"), and Aoede ("song"). Another three were worshipped at Delphi and their names represented the names of the strings of a lyre: Nete, Mese, and Hypate. Several other versions were worshipped until the Greeks finally established the nine muses in mythology as: Calliope, Clio, Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Thalia, and Urania.
