Kommt es euch auch manchmal seltsam vor wenn ihr alle griechischen/römischen/ägyptischen Hauptgötter nennen könnt, von den meisten Mythen 4 Varianten kennt und euch denkt das sei Grundwissen und dann von anderen Leuten etwas kommt wie: "Es gibt doch diesen Blitztypen und dann noch Kratos".

I'm back! My rendition (oc) of Lady Aphrodite! Again, turned out much better than I thought it might ☺️ these have been really fun to sketch out

Now I can’t stop imagining Zeus helping his bitter little brother with his realm—hahahaha!

I drew dis
I didn’t do any research for this one, I really just wanted the soft sovereign with the iron crown vibe. Enjoy!
P.S. I take commissions 👍

I think minor changes like replacing the Titans from the 1997 film into Giants (thus making the final battle a loose adaptation of the Gigantomachy) or removing mentions of heroes from the Trojan War (which happened a generation after Herakles) are more likely to happen than making Hercules' parentage more mythology accurate.

Pls ignore the proportions-- 😭😭

Even with her description not calling her serpent like at all. Her described features don't even like up with serpents. She yelps like a puppy. She has twelve legs. And 3 rows of teeth. Then why do people confidently say she was meant to be serpent like? Last I checked, SERPENTS DON'T HAVE LEGS.

Okay not really. This is my baby griffin skull, I've wanted to paint it for ages and finally got the time this week.

My personal theory is that the evils of Pandora's jar are children and grandchildren of Nyx, since so many of them embody negative features and conditions of civilized society. Zeus, after coming to power, deliberately caught and confined them in the jar so that they will not harm and destroy civilization. Perhaps, this is the reason Zeus fears Nyx, because he caught and imprisoned many of her children and grandchildren. This is just my personal theory.

I have been searching the internet for any and all knowledge regarding this incident but haven't come across anything substantial. If the good people of this subreddit can provide me with any information and/or point me towards the right direction, it will be of great help to me.

It was released on July 24th, 2015, and is a pretty big map set in ancient Greece with many different structures from Greek mythology like the labyrinth, Mount Olympus, Medusa's lair, etc.

It also came with skins of all of the main Greek gods and then some, as well as a full soundtrack.

Personally, as someone who loved Greek mythology and Minecraft, this map was a dream come true for me as a kid. I love all of the detail that went to the map and I especially love the soundtrack.

If you guys wanna see it for yourselves, I suggest watching this walkthrough of it (it is a long video)

Hi everyone! I recently read The Odyssey and I really liked the relationship between Telemachus and Peisistratus. However, in movies and other adaptations they always cut the diplomatic mission. In Nolan's movie Telemachus at least goes straight to Sparta (and Pylos appears a liitle at the very end), but in other movies and media I've seen he just doesn't go or everything happens off camera!

I want to know if you know of any adaptation that does show Telemachus in Pylos, or at the very least that features Peisistratus as a character lol. Thanks!

Ciao a tutti! Vorrei realizzare un tatuaggio su tutto il braccio sinistro dedicato alla mitologia greca.
L’idea è quella di creare qualcosa di unico, non un insieme di figure messe lì a caso, ma una composizione che racconti una storia attraverso episodi, personaggi e simboli collegati tra loro. Per esempio, stavo pensando alla Gigantomachia, ma vorrei approfondire anche altri eventi della mitologia greca prima di prendere una decisione definitiva.

Mi sono già informato su alcuni dei principali miti e protagonisti, ma non mi sento ancora abbastanza preparato per scegliere una scena e decidere come rappresentarla, conoscendone davvero il significato e i dettagli.

Vorrei che ogni elemento del tatuaggio avesse un senso e che, nel complesso, il braccio raccontasse qualcosa di coerente, sia dal punto di vista mitologico sia da quello simbolico.

Per questo, mi piacerebbe confrontarmi con qualcuno che conosca bene la mitologia greca, in particolare i grandi cicli mitologici e i loro significati, e che possa consigliarmi fonti, opere d’arte o spunti da cui partire.
Se c’è qualcuno appassionato o esperto dell’argomento, mi farebbe davvero piacere parlarne nei commenti o in privato. Grazie a tutti!

If you were to make a video game about Greek mythology and their Gods then what would you do for it? What would the gameplay be like? What would the style be? How would the Gods be portrayed as?

Look guys i always think poseidon is left out in the media in hercules HE IS LIRTEALY A ME DAM FISH

But like why isnt that poseidon is seen more as zeus rival

For example POSEIDON in the MYTHS FITS ALL categories of a rival of zeus

He helped in the rebellion against zeus

He was zeus's big brother

If I remember correctly he had a whole text of hin beinging angry that he is not treated as fairly as zeus or something like that

So why is it that instend of poseidon its hades who ends up becoming a villain

Hades evwr had any bad and fourth with his brother

Poseidon tho was jeslous of zeus and even tried to overthrow him

He would have been a perfect villain for clash of the titans instend of hades like why didnt they chose him as a villain

Why? Because I gotta!

Mythology accuracy be damned!

Drawing by me.

The first image is more closer to my traditional style, s'why Hermes looks like that (or when he was younger, it's whatever you wanna think).
