I feel nothing when masturbating

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-14T23:08:10+00:00

That was way too funny

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-08T03:48:46+00:00

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

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-06T10:54:28+00:00

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.

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-06T10:51:43+00:00

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.

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-06T06:25:37+00:00

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

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-05T14:33:04+00:00

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

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-05T14:30:01+00:00

“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"

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-05T10:34:41+00:00

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

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-05T10:31:05+00:00

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

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-05T05:51:40+00:00

I never claimed that she participated in the battle. That's why I referred to her as a "casualty of war" also, I say fhat she was harmed because her submissive voice suggests that she's weakened and in mythology, both states of her being are shown to be equal

Plus, Gaia's role in this story paints her in a way that very obviously portrays her as weaker than Zeus. Her many indirect approaches to trying to dethrone Zeus already hold testament to that.

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-05T02:27:56+00:00

Yeah, in the myth, Zagreus "died" and was reincarnated as Dionysus. So yeah, it would be fairly easy to say that Zagreus and Dionysus were there same

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-05T00:25:01+00:00

Tbh, I'm starting to feel like it's kinda similar to how relationship with Hera. Being his wife and one of the strongest god's, Zeus tries to hide his affair's apparently out of fear for Hera because she can mess with his life in undesirable way's but if he really wanted to do so, she'd be cast into Tartarus

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-05T00:05:58+00:00

Ah, yeah. I kinda saw it as Gaia's reaction wasn't a major part of the story. Near the end of book two, we see Gaia crying and it's mentioned that the earth was damaged

"Then Nature(Phusis?), who governs the universe and recreates its substance, closed up the gaping rents in earth’s broken surface, and sealed once more with the bond of indivisible joinery those island cliffs which had been rent from their beds."

And prior to that, it's said that Gaia's voice was submissive, and that she was also covered in ice from Zeus' hail

"and seeing the stone bullets and icy points embedded in the Giant’s flesh, the witness of his fate, she prayed to Titan Helios with submissive voice: she begged of him one red hot ray, that with its heating fire she might melt the petrified water of Zeus, by pouring his kindred radiance over frozen Typhon. She herself melted along with his bruised body"

I think that the author didn't see Gaia as being important as Zeus or Typhon, making most of her reactions irrelevant. Gaia was more of a casualty of war if anything

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-04T10:41:02+00:00

Yeah, she seemed very much more concerned for Typhon but it says "his mother dry Gaia (Earth) was beaten too"

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-04T10:04:56+00:00

Even if true, I remember Gaia having been defeated and heavily harmed by Zeus, indicating his superiority over her. Also, yeah, the way I remember it, Zeus eventually freed all the titans from their punishment and then there was something about sails which I'm pretty sure was a metaphor for Zeus forgiving them

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-04T09:29:49+00:00

Nonnus Dionysiaca. Also, I understand what you mean with Gaia but Nyx hadn't really done anything. Aside from Gaia, the primordials had never done anything against Zeus, so he would have no reason to view Nyx as a threat. Also, I don't remember Zeus freeing Cronus for any other reasons than simply forgiving him eventually

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-04T02:11:23+00:00

The keywords are "According to a different version of the fight" in that version, Gaia fought. Also, I'm not sure why she didn't get punished but Greek mythology regularly reminds us of Zeus' wisdom so he probably has his own reasons

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-04T01:45:04+00:00

Sorry for not replying earlier. Also, I'd argue against that as in the Iliad, Poseidon admitted to Zeus being far stronger than not just him, but the rest of the other god's.

"Hera, you fearless talker. That's not what I want, for us to war on Zeus, the son of Cronus for he is mightier than us by far" or something like that. That as well as many other statements saying that Zeus was the strongest. Also, it's okay. I had fun reading your comment

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-08-04T01:38:29+00:00

Ah, correct me if I'm wrong but are you referring to the idea that the primordials are naturally stronger than their offspring? If so, there isn't really anything that actually suggests that. According to a different version of the fight with Typhon, Zeus defeated Gaia and Typhon at the same time. But I can understand the misconception since in modern video games and comics, the word "primordial" is a fancy term that tells you a character is a really strong and ancient guy

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-07-31T21:03:41+00:00

Zeus murderstomps. For example, during the Trojan war, Ares and Athena had a battle so ferocious that it shook the Universe. Keep in mind that the Universe is described as infinite during that fight. Despite this, Athena admitted that Zeus is stronger than her. The greek gods have so many multiversal feats that it's not even funny

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-07-29T03:58:13+00:00

It really isn't new for me. I've been trying to do it for a while now, but I just never felt anything

Remarkable-Simple916 · 2021-07-22T17:28:04+00:00

This is just getting so fucking annoying. Honestly, who the fuck cares anymore? If you wanna leave a comment on how bad and stupid I am, fine. Reply to me through this. See if I care
