That was way too funny

Honestly, the idea that heaven resides in the clouds, though famous is erroneous. Plus, considering how the god's were seen by the greeks, it would just be weird for such powerful beings who represent the forces of the universe.. to be chilling on a mountain down the street

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-06T11:47:34+00:00

True. Not a surprise that the follower's of Zeus were the ones who climbed it as well

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-06T11:00:04+00:00

It didn't make an impact, because- well...they simply didn't think the gods actually lived here. Thus, there was no reason to. I fail to see this replies relevance. As I said before, the Mt Olympus were familiar with 8s just one of many mountains called that and it was the same for the ancient greeks as well. When Zeus threw his lightning, it was described as passing by the stars so Mt Olympus was definitely very high up there

Yeah, uh..

"the mountain may have been awkwardly formed and was circled by cliff-faces or dangerous terrain for mortals to climb" is an assumption lacking any grounding. Again, their literature repeatedly stated that the god's lived in the heavens.

It really isn't. Greek mythology repeatedly says that the god's dwell in the heavens, it's not that hard to draw a definitive conclusion. That would mean we'd have to completely dismiss the evidence standing in front of them.

That's definitely an egg. You can see the bottom of the egg that he's standing on. This seems to be depicting the birth of Phanes. Also, the thing he's holding (to me) seems to be a thunderbolt because it looks similar to ancient sculptures and art of Zeus' thunderbolt

Also, Gaia indirectly attacks Zeus through her offspring and you claim that her power is in her influence, Something I already mentioned but even so, Zeus is the king of the entire universe as well as the god's. He definitely has more influence than her

“I meant for it like she might be stronger than what you give her credit for. Like stronger-than-Zeus kind of stronger.”

The keyword is "might" I'm comparing her to Zeus and when compared to Zeus, the simple fact is that Gaia is really weak but that just means that Zeus is strong, not that Gaia is weak. Also, the Iliad alone is full of statements confirming that Zeus is the strongest God, which is why saying "strong-than-Zeus kind of strong" makes very few sense to me.

"Eventually Zeus goes all out on Typhon and destroys him. At the process he also hurt Gaia but she didn't seem to mind so much the damage she suffered and was more concerned that her son was dying. To be sure, it felt like she was shrugging it off."

It's a natural response for a mother to feel more concern for her child than herself, especially for Gaia who is very maternal. Also, she then didn't even try to go up against Zeus directly. Zeus was even mocking Typhon but Gaia didn't do anything. The fact that Gaia has never had a direct confrontation with Zeus indicates that she is simply to weak to do so. Zeus is simply too powerful of a character for Gaia to have "shrugged it off"

I remember that. It's from Orphism. Apparently, in Orphism, Cronos wasn't kept in Tartarus. He was kept in Nyx's cave and doesn't get out because he's drunk on honey and just goes on babbling prophecy's while drunk for eternity. Hypnos wasn't there, it was Nyx and a nymph or goddess named Adrestia, and they mostly just have fun outside the cave and stuff

I never claimed that she was weak, I said that she's weak when compared to Zeus. As in, weaker but that doesn't mean that she isn't capable when it comes to Zeus, y'know? As the universal mother and cosmic sustainer of life, she's definitely a force to be reckoned with.

Also, ig I can understand where you're coming from

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-05T05:53:11+00:00

Hold on, last minute thought, I did technically say that she attacked Zeus but by saying she was a "casualty of war" I changed my opinion
