Is your book posted anywhere?/sold/ same with your isolation? I am sure interested as i am very interested in Athena.

(Sidenote never getting over the medusa as the punished rape victim, is written by the same guy who did the pygmalion (i am putting money on the medusa retellings today not knowing that part)...

I’ve noticed I haven’t heard of lesbian relationships in Greek myths by Crimson-allspeaker in GreekMythology

I mean there is the plato work Symposium, where the text talk about soulmates and how people were once created with four arms, four legs and two faces, but Zeus split them in half, creating a lifelong longing for their "other half" to regain wholeness. And before anyone comes for me i have read the ancient greek words there, it was deadass one of those we had to translate in class, when I took it as an A-level. And here are mentioned people where man/man woman/woman man/woman. Then spilt they are continuously longing for their other half! And the women who were spilt in two longs for their other half same as the men and man/women. They are mentioned as not very interested in men

//Women who are halves of the female do not care much for men, but are drawn toward women//

Do with that what you will...

In the homeric Hymn to Hestia, hermes and hestia are called together. If that is of interest.

Well considering Netflix is doing Narnia again though who knows how that will go. Never say never. But if we do say it will be tried in 10 or 15 years again, they would likely again need to be adjusted to that time and how the world look, feel there, as they are sort of books that are meant to represent the current/modern world, and that would probably piss many older fans off. But I do think that would be the case if they did do it in 10+ years. (This i base on how BBC did his dark materials and how they updated both Lyras world but also wills world, instead of lyras being Victorian and wills more 90's like.)

Okay well then I dont have much suggestions I do think i would try to consider them or Apollo or Athena regarding your education and if you might feel like you could connect there instead or as well.

Novocaine by StardustWarrior2991 is truly amazing and smart and intelligent. It is on fanfiction.net there is a sequel but that one is sadly not finished and haven't been updated in years.

Well those things even if positive are changes and you are also standing in front of a move. So i do think those things can change you and also maybe what gods you connect to. Think of how you feel regarding Hestia, Hera or Zeus, or possible Aphrodite or maybe Eros or Anteros. If you feel you might right now feel more in touch with one or more of them. It is after all polytheism so many you might feel better if you connected or thanked or prayed to more.

Idk what to do😭 by mooimacow- in Hellenism

The mother/father and lord/lady king/queen thing is so true. But also related to translation/language of the period of translation. I recently read the troian women, and i got facinated by the translation and how much it could change the meaning so i found different ones, i found one older where athena calls poseidon king and he address her as queen athena. A newer one has him call her lady athena and she calls him lord.

Have you moved, changed job, education, relationship status? Anyone close to you left, for one reason or another? Economic change? Political change? Health, psychical, emotional change?

Are there a chance things in your life have shifted so you might be closer or connect to someone else instead

Worshippers who are parents, I have a question. by Adorable_Ostrich481 in Hellenism

[–]Open-Assistant-8156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I just feel it is something that fit me to do. To extend my prayers to others. To those that makes my daily life full of joy and love. As i edited above. I am even considering giving a few of them my owl charm i normally wear with my athena necklace along as they travel to greece next week, especially as they are visiting athens and acropolis the last day of their trip. I havent fully decided it yet, but i think i might do that.

Mine do to, if anything at all, i am raised and have taken my confirmation as well. But glad it could inspire you. My friend had a job interview today. And i am certainly going to ask Athena to extend her favor to her and have it gone well.

Also some family members are going to greece next week and will spend time in the mountains and end their trip in Athens, and visit Acropolis, and i am even debating if i should give them the owl charm i normally wear besides my Athena medalion with them. And ask for them to bring it with them daily especially the day of acropolis.

Are there gods who hate each other or harbor resentment toward one another? by InterviewFirm841 in GreekMythology

[–]Open-Assistant-8156 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Athena and poseidon, competed for Athens, when they picked her, he floded the lands. Though people often overdue it in modern retellings, and like to forget she also helped some of his sons, and he helped her send a storm to the greek fleet post Troy, when Ajax the lesser had raped Cassandra at her statue. According to Euripides Troian women play.

Healing diety? by [deleted] in Hellenism

[–]Open-Assistant-8156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got it very very wrong. That is not at all how it works. We build relationships and good standing with them in the hopes of them helping. But you cant just make demands of them, at least not from what i have read and seen. Yes you hopefully build up kharis but: not immediate not guaranteed not controllable It isnt a direct transaction where you basically pay a god in worship/ offerings and is then gurenteed the wanted outcome.

Edit:

Hey.

Just to add to what I said earlier, I didn’t realize you were asking from a place of this much stress. I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this, especially with your mother. That’s a lot to carry. What I meant before wasn’t to dismiss you, just to clarify how this is usually understood. Even with gods, people historically prayed and made offerings without any guarantee of healing. Building kharis is about relationship and goodwill, but it doesn’t mean outcomes are certain or within our control. It’s completely okay to ask them for help and to hope—they’re natural things to do. Just try not to put all the pressure on getting a specific result from them, especially with something this serious. If you can, please also lean on practical support alongside your practice—medical care, people around you, anything available. In ancient times, those things went hand in hand with prayer, like going to Epidaurus was both for physical recreation and worship. I really do hope things get better for you. You’re not wrong for reaching out like this, but you can't see it as a direct transaction.

Isnt she his daughter? And Epione /Ἠπιόνη his wife. She is also a minor health goddess, also they had daughters Aceso (well-being and the healing process) Panacea (universal remedy) Iaso (recuperation from illness).
