Facts - Blog Posts
So I am bored and midterms are happening right now for me so I have decided to distract myself by sharing some random Greek Mythology facts. These might have some NSFW facts so I’m putting the facts under the cut
Fact #1: the word that is translated as virgin (ex: the virgin goddess like Athena, Artemis, and Hestia) is actually more like the word maiden. Basically the “virgin” goddesses aren’t forced to be virgins, they just can’t/don’t want to marry. The best example I can think of to demonstrate this is the muses, since they have several children (like Orpheus) but they are considered “virgin” goddesses.
Fact 2: the underworld in Greek Mythology is also known as Hades, like the god that rules it. Hades is also not the god of death, that would be Thanatos, Hades is the god of the dead meaning he decides what happens to them after they die.
Fact 3: despite the fact that incest and rape was common among the gods it was actually majorly frowned upon in Ancient Greece. Mortals were held to different standards than the gods and there are several myths that show how the Ancient Greeks found incest/rape between mortals taboo and wrong.
Fact 4: the depiction of gods/goddesses would vary depending on the city-state that was depicting them. One of the best examples is Athena, in ancient Athens they typically focused more on her relation to wisdom and crafts but Sparta focused more on her role in battle strategy and warfare.
Fact 5: Hestia was actually very important to the Ancient Greeks but she is not very well known because she’s only in maybe three myths. She was believed to stay in Olympus so she was never really shown during myths which makes it difficult to find information on her.
Fact 6: the actual way that Cerberus is spelled is Kerberos but Kerberos is also a computer system so Cerberus became the more common way to say the name so that people wouldn’t get confused.
Fact 7: the most common myth about Medusa (the one where she was assaulted by Poseidon and was turned into a Gorgon by Athena) is actually a Roman myth, not a Greek Myth.
Fact 8: the Phoenix did exist in Greek Mythology but instead of being red and orange like fire it was believed to be purple, because it was associated with Phoenicia which was famous for a purple dye that was produced from conch shells.

Arguing with pro Israel people is so weird bcuz all you really need to have is empathy. There is literally NO reason to bomb that much and kill that many people. Hamas is such a bad excuse. Literally all you need to do is look at the average people begging foe their lives to see, "Wait, what Israel is doing is actually very bad." Idfc about logic, I care about the millions of people who are dying. You can't justify that. But they try so hard to, and it's not even worth arguing anymore, because they don't see the Palestinians as people. They see them as rats that they must get rid of. You can't argue with someone who doesn't even view an entire race of people as humans.

Interesting Fact #1
Novels were forbidden in the Spanish colonies by the Inquisition. The literary genre of novels was seen as dangerous. Reading a novel could warrant one jail time and humiliation. Novels weren't published until after independence at the beginning if the 19th century. This ban on fiction was part of the inquisitions goal to rid the "fictional disease" that plagued them.

Before you say “Duh,” remember they are using the social contagion lie to make life saving health care from children and teens. Studies like this can be used in court to fight for the rights of children in our community.

facts about cooper
(Ok I am Probably gonna make this a series of mine)
Fact #1: cooper is sadly the last of his kind. So in my au in the beginning there was more then one genocide. Before the lambs were sacrificed there was a entire kingdom of dragons living happily. But the bishop’s began to fear the dragons so they had them all killed but cooper’s mom managed to hide his egg before the bishop’s got to his nest. ( Phoenix is gonna have to make a army before he can just say alright it’s good we saved my kind)
fact #2: cooper had siblings that never made it passed the genocide. So cooper was not the only egg in the nest he had 4 other siblings but sadly his mother only had time to hide him so both his mother and his siblings sadly died.
fact #3: cooper was raised by one of hekets followers called azu. Azu went to the kingdom to see if any of the nest had a hidden egg and sure enough she found cooper. Cooper was found Berried deep in the dirt and as soon as azu dug him back out he hatch. Azu new that she needed to kill him but when she first saw him she felt like as if he was her own so she took him back to the cult and begged heket to let him stay and promised to raise him to be her loyal subject. Heket didn’t know how to feel about the fact that her follower brought back a baby dragon but she had a little sympathy for azu and let her raise him. But sadly azu passed away from a unknown sickness when cooper was 6 needles to say that was part of his childhood gone out the window.
fact #4: cooper was suppose to kill pheonix at first site but pheonix was the one to beat his ass down first ( little did he know that that woman would be the on to save his species)
final fact #4: cooper is a Yamaha dragon said to be one of the most ferocious dragons ever to have existed.
