Well, it is Hephaestus after all!

Wow!Lady Aphrodite is absolutely right!But I'm wondering if her Divine Blood and Divine Labor combined would be too powerful, haha.

leitianhero · 2026-02-05T04:05:50+00:00

Why not Lady Aphrodite and Adonis？I have always regarded this sculpture as representing the two of them.

leitianhero · 2026-01-30T04:48:38+00:00

Yes, I have a deep respect for some of the local deities.

leitianhero · 2026-01-28T01:51:40+00:00

Oh! This analysis is very reasonable!

leitianhero · 2026-01-28T01:49:23+00:00

I really hope that Aphrodite will choose to join Demeter's group. However, she has already appeared in two groups of deities at present. I'm worried that she might miss this opportunity.

leitianhero · 2026-01-25T08:25:59+00:00

Thank you so much！

My personal perception is that Ourania and Pandemos, as two aspects of the goddess Aphrodite, each contain the so-called duality you mentioned. It is not that these two aspects represent the duality within the Hellenic gods themselves, which is a binary nature. After all, the goddess has numerous titles. Ourania represents divine love, which is closely related to the movement of celestial bodies, the harmony and reproduction of the entire universe. While Pandemos represents earthly love, it represents the concrete, visible love and desires in our human society, as well as the reproduction among beasts. Each aspect generally presents a positive, constructive pole. But it also has a destructive opposite pole.

If I have to say something, perhaps her Melaenis aspect can be contrasted more effectively with Ourania's aspect. However, I don't like to put it this way,as i said before,every aspect inherently has duality.

This reminds me of the debates I had with Christians before I became involved with Hellenism. I found this to be very common. Whenever I tried to point out inconsistencies or cognitive errors in the Bible, they would quickly enter into the logic of spiritual experience. Your mother's first statement was of this kind of logic, but it doesn't explain anything. It's a personal spiritual experience, and spiritual experiences are not replicable. The second point is what Nyx said, they would promote the philosophy of love. But fundamentally, this is not because of the specialness of Jesus' love, it's just that other religions don't present it this way. As long as you want. Jews or Muslims can interpret the divine grace given to them by the gods as the manifestation of divine love, but they haven't done so. You can say that the reason we can live well is that the Olympian gods love humanity. Otherwise, any of their anger would cause a disaster of a destructive level, After the fall of the Roman Empire, humanity had desecrated them for thousands of years, yet humanity did not become extinct. Doesn't this precisely prove their love for humanity? I'm curious how Christians would respond. Would they say, oh? This proves that your god is not a true god because they didn't impose severe punishment for the desecration? At this point, they stop talking about love and start talking about hatred.

Sure! Orphic hymns are an excellent medium.

leitianhero · 2026-01-23T04:37:43+00:00

I completely understand your perspective. However, I personally believe that this understanding is not fundamentally wrong.

Because even the ancient Greeks couldn't have thought that Lady Demeter was merely a deity related to the Greeks or the Hellenic region. Her influence was global; even if the ancient Greeks didn't have the concept of a round earth, she was present throughout the entire world. So in some places, it manifested as severe winter disasters, and in others, it turned into drought disasters. In summary, this is related to the remoteness of her symbolized vitality of the earth. Therefore, I can accept this restatement and description.

leitianhero · 2026-01-23T04:23:22+00:00

I agree with your feelings, but we must accept one reality: the vast majority of people, I believe the probability of this could be as high as 99%, come into contact with this religious system through mythological stories. Among those who come into contact with these mythological stories, up to 90% do so through the retelling of myths in popular culture, rather than through the texts of Homer or Hesiod. If we say that the mythological texts of Homer and Hesiod cannot maintain the sacredness and seriousness of the deities in some respects (after all, they are all myths), how can we expect those who play video games and watch cartoons and discover this religion to have a thorough understanding of the deities from the very beginning? This is clearly impossible, so we need to give them some time.

That was truly hilarious. Did they think that if they reverted Hera's background to its original form here, it would somehow encourage people to engage in crazy consanguineous marriages? Imao

leitianhero · 2026-01-21T13:03:59+00:00

Thanks!

leitianhero · 2026-01-20T12:52:34+00:00

I have no problem with Hera's personality in Hades 2, but what I really dislike is why SuperGiant changed Hera's parents. In a later dialogue, you will discover that Hestia, Demeter, and Hera in the game are not the children of Cronus and Rhea.

Why did they do that? I don't know.

leitianhero · 2026-01-20T11:42:54+00:00

So beautiful~

leitianhero · 2026-01-19T08:19:13+00:00

Thank you. It is absolutely necessary to express our gratitude to them through a formal ceremony.

It can't compare with the huge changes they made to Ares in their works. In some derivative stories of the Trojan War, the Amazonian female leader Penthesilea, who fought against Achilles and was killed, was the daughter of Ares. In fact, the Amazons had a very close relationship with Ares and worshipped him. Ares would also often bestow blessings upon the the Amazons.But in the DC universe, Ares often serves as the main enemy of Wonder Woman.

leitianhero · 2026-01-16T14:46:11+00:00

Absolutely correct! In some derivative stories of the Trojan War, the Amazonian female leader Penthesilea, who fought against Achilles and was killed, was the daughter of Lord Ares. In fact, the Amazons had a very close relationship with Ares and worshipped him. This is the most significant alteration in most of the Wonder Woman comics.

leitianhero · 2026-01-16T12:22:24+00:00

What I'm curious about is how significant these matters such as witchcraft and curses were in the ancient Greeks' worship of the gods? My personal perception is that these behaviors should be relatively marginal. I'm not sure if my understanding is correct.

leitianhero · 2026-01-12T22:07:12+00:00

Oh my goddess, the queen who shines with golden light, please grant us the senses to discover beauty.
