Greek God's revisited

[oferdegi]

Just my curiosity, Sara: is that the figure from the Greek mythology, spelled G-E-R-Y-O-N in many places? No, you couldn't have selected this one:

this must be some sort of mix-up.

or is it?

Is there really a god of booze? :friday

Dionysus - greek god of wine and fertility. (Romans named him Bacchus)

No, No! That was a famous character actor, most renowned for his being the voice of the cartoon "Mr. Magoo" as well as the rich guy on Gilligan's Island.

I had the opportunity to meet Tom Hatten, once. He was the MC at the annual formal dinner given by my wife's hospital. It's amazing how someone could be so old and still have a kind of baby face like his. Ah, nostalgia!

darn.. was hoping this thread had some pics of DB guys from greece.

Sara: Demeter was the patroness of generosity in Greek mythology and was much loved by humanity because she bestowed the harvest gift, a great reward for cultivating the land. She instructed the human race in the lessons of growing, preserving, and preparing grain, and was also believed to bestow fertility upon the earth. She is unique in that she was the only Greek goddess daily involved in the lives of ordinary mortals, unlike other goddesses who intervened only to further their own self interests, Demeter was the magna nurturer of mankind, and she also was extraordinary in that she had an empathic understanding of human grief and suffering because she had fully experienced this psychological aspect in the loss of her own daughter, Persephone (Demeter, Greek Goddess).

i saw that one... but Demeter didnt have a nice ring to it.. it's almost like "dementia"

I chose Gerion (that's how it was spelt on the website i found it on).

Still read through everything in this thread.. without my boss looking

Trying to find the God of Construction now...

 

[Oldsarge]

Hephaistos! Or in Latin, Vulcan. He's the blacksmith to the gods and wanders through mythology as Wayland Smith, Dennis and that little gnome-like dwarf in Wagner's Ring. Paul Kidby did a great illustration of him repairing the Kite with hammer and anvil and a jeweler's loupe in his eye. See The Last Hero by Terry Pratchett.

Wasnt He also the Guy James Dean threw down the stairs in Rebel without a cause? he played his dad i think?

Daniel,
Your post was an attempt to convert people here to what is your idea of a religion. Your post had nothing to do with what Sara was asking for in this thread. Your post therefore was deleted.

As simple as that.

Don't take it personally, you know you are always welcome if you respect the forum rules.

Quetzalcoatl,(the feathered snake) the aztec God of arts, healing, peace and civilization, opposed to Tezcatlipoca, (the smoke mirror) The god of war and revenge.

go to>http://www.angelfire.com/al/quetzalcoatl/quet02.html


The site is in spanish but i know that you are an almost native speaker of the Cervantes language!!!

Enjoy!

 

[seaman]

By the way, for the aztecs the snake was symbol of wisdom, strenght an purity, so the fundational myth about the Aztlan pilgrims who searched the eagle devouring the serpent in the XIII century is more an Spanish translation of the myth, due to the fact that the snake represents evil and deception. to the europeans i.e. Gen 3 y ss

Friend did you read very carefully my last post-

Sara was looking for a Greek God or any God


In one of my last post I mentioned one of the Greek God- ( The unknow God)

if you see in Greek History they used to have a god name - the unknow God..

There is a altar located on Palatine Hill, Rome, where once stood the palaces of the Caesars. It dates from about 100 B.C. and has the inscription, ´To the unknown God

look the picture: http://www.biblestudy.org/biblepic/unkgod.html
