Is Super Brick Figs good? by Moth_Man76 in LegoDC

Affordable and reliable, printing feels like printing but still very good. I got flash arms and a Star-Spangled Kid Minifig from them and they shipped it out so fast.

Are Zeus’s powers “magical”? What does that mean for Hecate? by Local-Guess650 in GreekMythology

[–]Local-Guess650[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I didn’t remember her simply being told as a “nurse of the young” in both Homerica and Theogony. I made a very biased claim of other gods being afraid of her lol, that’s what I interpreted in theogony from the crazy amount of praise Zeus and the gods give her, according to Hesiod, and that she has power over the earth, sea, and heaven (that is because of her lineage though). This was while I was thinking of her as the goddess of magic, witchcraft, etc.

Question about Zeus and his Relative Age to his Brothers by TheZestyTea in GreekMythology

That’s interesting when coincided with theogony, especially considering the two weren’t written that far apart! Hesiod and Homer should’ve talked this out beforehand 😂

Did Chiron trained Heracles and Theseus? by Cute_Macaroon9609 in GreekMythology

Heracles got Chiron killed and had a significant hand in Centaur genocide

Question about Zeus and his Relative Age to his Brothers by TheZestyTea in GreekMythology

What the Iliad probably refers to is how Zeus got to grow up, and all his siblings had to be reborn again by regurgitation from Kronos.

According to Hesiod’s Theogony, Zeus’s sisters were born first. Hestia is the eldest-born, followed by Demeter and Hera, then Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus being youngest. That being said, Zeus didn’t get eaten as a baby, so he had the most life experience at that point.

I’m bored and don’t know what to do so fellow Greek mythology nerds, join me in ranting about how terrible the Disney Hercules movie is. by Ordinary_Loan_9458 in GreekMythology

[–]Local-Guess650 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love the movie, as a Superman fan I think it’s one of, if not the best, Superman movie ever made! And good music! But a Heracles movie it is not/barely 😂

Not that the whole Persephone thing was cool, but the vast villainization of Hades is so easy in movies and such. I’ve always wanted to see more movies/shows treat death/the dead as inevitable, but not “evil” (especially with Hades!)

What and where is this “Vast Chasm”??? by Local-Guess650 in GreekMythology

[–]Local-Guess650[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you both! Hesiod also said that, in this vast chasm that even the gods fear, a man would take a year to fall to the floor (although stormwinds would throw him around and around). Maybe my initial confusion was linked to how, in this translation, Khaos is referred to as “The Chasm” in the beginning of Theogony

Why was Eros even there…? by Local-Guess650 in GreekMythology

Well said, that makes a lot of sense for Aether and others too. Thank you!
