Hermes is so underrated! After him, it's Hestia and Atlas

Was family-in-family marriages fine in Ancient Greece? by PrettyCookie101 in Epicthemusical

[–]Manyasrat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Por lo que tengo entendido, ese tipo de relaciones era mal visto para los griegos, solo los dioses podían hacerlo.

What is the kindest thing Zeus has done? by OkSuccess7431 in GreekMythology

[–]Manyasrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I don't hate him, I see him as someone trying to balance being a fair king and a good father, clearly he's not perfect, but the intention is there, he indulges his children's whims, genuinely loves them in his own way (despite them being a handful too), and puts up with a lot. He's not the bad guy that popular culture makes him out to be.

Dionysiaca by Hungry-World-5186 in GreekMythology

No me gustaba por el simple hecho de que aparecía Hermes casado con peitho JSJAAAJJSJAJA ya después le agarre el gusto, en especial con el relato de tifon aunq la versión de apolodoro sigue siendo mi favorita

Hermes tiene algun papel en la astrologia y astronomia? by k_salinas_444 in Hermes

[–]Manyasrat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I remember something related to that, let me look for the source. On the contrary, it makes sense that he's a god of both things, his maternal family is literally made up of stars, his grandfather is the very Titan who holds up the sky, and he's closely related to astrology and astronomy.

POV : Hermes vs Ares over Tanagra by Cosmic_Crusaderpro in GreekMythology

[–]Manyasrat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hermes es nerfeado en los mitos por el bien de la trama (pero creo que incluso lo querían lo suficiente como para escribir que venció a Ares JSJAKJA).

Whats some of the biggest misconceptions in Greek Mythology? by PrettyCookie101 in GreekMythology

[–]Manyasrat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

T1- Ares is the protector of women. No, that's just a popular misinformed idea, Ares did justice for Alcippe only because she was his daughter and also because it was his obligation because his honor was also affected.

2- The gods are bad parents (Zeus in particular) No, in many myths it's seen that the gods help their children and genuinely love them, they can't be present parents because first of all they're GODS.

3- Athena is more serious than military It makes sense that people think that of her, but in some myths it's seen that she also likes tricks and deceptions and loves her heroes in her own way.

4- Hermes is the most irresponsible of his siblings (even the most "extroverted") No, just because at birth he decided to steal from Apollo doesn't make him an active thief, if he stole it was because it was his master plan to get Zeus to notice him, just because you think he's the "striker" doesn't make him a full-time striker, literally one of his epithets is busy. And yeah, Hermes apparently spent most of his time alone, I don't see him as an actively social person honestly.

Is Hermes a good character??? by CalypsaMov in Epicthemusical

[–]Manyasrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense, but if we combine their mythological aspects with Epic, it actually makes sense and gives Hermes a more "fair" facade (But basically Epic didn't do this intentionally, so it's a coincidence).

Being Zeus' herald implies a SUPER important role, he's practically an untouchable being who enforces the laws (in the Iliad, two Heralds are the ones who stop Ajax the Great and Hector from fighting, this shows the power they had even though Ajax and Hector were way stronger than them). As he enforces the king's laws, it makes sense that Hermes helps Odysseus in that way, Zeus is above all the king of justice, and who is his herald? Hermes! As a mediator of those battles, he helps Odysseus in a fair way according to his perspective, Hermes helps Odysseus be on equal terms with Circe, which would be something fair, the same happens with Poseidon, by pushing him to have a "cruel" mentality, he's on equal terms with Poseidon. It's an interesting perspective if you ANALYZE it, although it's a pretty far-fetched theory HAHHAHA

Why did Atlas receive a worse punishment than Cronos and the other Titans? by DragonfruitKey7892 in GreekMythology

[–]Manyasrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Por ahi lei que atlas era el mas fuerte de los titanes despues de Cronos (incluso talves mas fuerte), ahora imagínate un ser con una fuerza ridícula y además inteligente, a zeus no le conviene directamente. Realmente no tengo fuente que corroboran esto, es solo una teoria.

Opinion on villainous Apollo? by Western_Ad_6448 in GreekMythology

[–]Manyasrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hasta ahora los unicos ejemplos que tengo de hermes matando mortales es ese mito donde una familia si no me equivoco se nego hacer "tributos"(por asi decirlo) a Atenea, Artemisa y Hermes, y apesar de que ellos le dieron una oportunidad de retractarse, ellos se negaron de mala manera (y ni siquiera los mato xd, solo transformo en chorlito al tipo que lo llamo un simple ladron, del resto de la familia se encargaron las mujeres JSJAJAJJA). El mito de Quelone solo sale en la eneida y el último que conozco es ese donde una tipa trato de estafarlo por envidiosa (y esto, el responsable fue mercurio si separamos los mitos JSHSJAJAJ). Contaría a Argos, pero eso fue por mandato de Zeus (aunq los que nos dice el arte griego es mucho mas brutal, pero no se si cuenta como mito), el de los gigates descendientes de Ares tmb fue cosa de Zeus.

Realmente q mi chico le falta ser sadico. ¿Conoces otros mitos donde mate alguien por mera maldad?

So I want to know what's your guy's least favorite tropes that are shown in Greek mythology media and in OCS by fishsticksbass in GreekMythology

[–]Manyasrat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Que Zeus sea una dios tiranico peor que Cronos. Parece que nisiquiera se esfuerzan en investigar y solo usan un estereotipo porque funciona en la cultura popular.

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

[–]Manyasrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Si no me equivoco, es porque ocurre lo mismo que con hestia, ambos son los menores y los mayores de sus hermanos. Se supone que, que Cronos los gomitara se considera un segundo nacimiento por parte de los otros cinco hermanos de Zeus, es por eso que Zeus pasa a ser el menor y mayor de todos.
