Greek History Of The Giant Race

Greek History Of The Giant Race
We find profane history as fertile in stories of giants as Biblical history. Heathen mythology is filled with such marvellous legends. Foremost are those of the Titans, who were, according to some, forty-five in number, and were the sons of Uranus or Ccelus, by Ge or Terra, his mother, whom he married. They were all of gigantic stature and proportionate strength. Their wars against the gods are very celebrated in mythology. They were so much oppressed by their father, that they conspired against him ; and they were assisted by their mother, who provided them with a scythe, with which one of them wounded his father. From the blood that flowed sprang the Gigantes, men of most prodigious size and fearful aspect. Some had terrible faces and the tails of dragons ; and others, as Cottus, Briareus, and Gyges, had fifty heads, one hundred arms, and serpents in the place of legs. The defeat of their brethren, the Titans, incensed them against Jupiter ; and they all conspired to dethrone him. They accordingly made an attack upon the gods with huge rocks and trees and burning woods, under the leadership of Porphyrion and Alcyoneus, the most formidable among them; and they also heaped Mount Ossa upon Pelion to scale the heavens. They were invincible so long as they remained in their native land, and were not liable to be killed by anyone except a mortal.

Iris By Request

Iris By Request
Iris is a Greek goddess, and the personification of the rainbow. She is the daughter of the Oceanid Electra and the Titan Thaumas, and sister to the Harpies. She is considered a messenger of the gods to humans- particularly of the goddess Hera, whose orders she delivered to mankind. She travelled from one end of the Earth to the other with the speed of the wind, or to the depths of the ocean, or to the chasms of the underworld. Iris is portrayed as a beautiful maiden with wings, often with a herald's staff and water pitcher. She wears a crown of light upon her head, and encircled by a rainbow of brilliant colours and shapes that embrace the creatures of Earth, connecting it to the heavens. She is also sometimes shown with winged shoes, and holding a caduceus.

Other versions of her mode of transportation suggest that she rode the rainbow to and from Olympus. Iris also separated the soul from the body after death. It is said that, since the soul exists through the eyes, the coloured part of the eye was named for this goddess.

Whatever Happened To Thanatos

Whatever Happened To Thanatos
Many pagans and magicians these days are used to invoking the lovely deities of love and sex, Eros, Aphrodite and the like, but how many have tried to invoke Thanatos?Firstly, who is Thanatos?In Greek mythology, Thanatos was the personification of Death, often seen either as an angel, who came to take mortals from their earthly existence, or he was seen as a cold hearted deity who cared not about men, but simply sought the death of mortal men. Thanatos was the son of Nyx (night) and Erebos (darkness). Thanatos was also originally associated with Hermes, and may have been at one point a part of Hermes. There are many tales of his exploits, and whether he is the cold hearted "grim reaper" or simply the angel of death that comes to deliver men from their suffering has probably been hotly debated. Either way, Thanatos is the personificatiom of death, in the same way Eros can be seen as the personification of sex.Thanatos in Pop CutureGone, but not forgotten! Thanatos has appeared in many role playing games, and other media (film, tv, comics/animation) often as the grim reaper, or the angel of death. Most recently he has been portrayed as the powerful force that cannot be escaped in the "Final Destination" series of films.Invocation of ThanatosThere are very few references that I could find from actual magical working, ironically, the first reference I came to when doing a google search on the invocation of Thanatos was in an RPG game! There are however some sources which can be found below. This is my next magical project, to invoke Thanatos.Sources/ReferencesWikipediaKenneth Anger Blog (mentions Thanatos)Invocations:At a Samhain ritualWitch Cult of Zos vel Thanatos

Paganism Without The Blood

Paganism Without The Blood
One of the good things about working on ancient "pagan" religion is that no one actually believes in it any more. ("Pagan" here is in inverted commas, of course, because it wasn't a term people ever used of themselves: it was a term of semi-abuse from the Christian camp, and probably meant something like "hick" or "hillbilly".) It's easy to debate paganism because you're not always looking over your shoulder at a community of contemporary believers. Whenever I try to teach the "rise of Christianity" with a group of undergraduates - did economics underlie it? the institutional support of the emperor Constantine? - I'm always horribly aware that part of the group doesn't really think it's a question worth asking. For them the obvious reason that Christians won out against the pagans was that their religion was true. Simple as that. In contrast, paganism is a teacher's joy. You can dissect it as fiercely as you like. You can even claim that Zeus, Aphrodite and co. did not actually exist, without fear of being arraigned on a charge of incitement to religious hatred. Or so I thought. But last week a group of modern Athenians, dressed in ancient Greek costume (so they claimed), desented on the templ olimpian zeus in Athens, prayed to Zeus to bring about world peace and held a ceremony to celebrate the marriage of Zeus and Hera. A few months before they had gained official recognition as a religious organization from the Greek government. At first sight not good news for me. But on closer inspection I needn't have worried. It isn't entirely clear what this group ("Ellenais") believes; but it "is"clear that, whatever they say, it bears very little relationship to ancient Greek religion. You can tell that already from the rather charming prayer to Zeus to bring about world peace. From an ancient point of view, whatever myths are peddled about the "Olimpic truce", there could hardly be a less likely divine candidate for putting a stop to war in the world. So far as I can tell they have rather airy fairy ideas about living in tune with nature under the pagan gods (as well as asking Zeus for peace, they put in an additional pleas for rain) - again not something that"bona fide" paganism put much stress on. More crucial though is what's missing from this religious revival. True, the worshippers last week poured a libation of wine and incense over a copper tripod. But where was the animal sacrifice? As almost everyone who studies ancient Greek religion insists, the key centre of the whole religious system was sacrifice: it was the ritual of killing and sharing the animal that was, if anything, the "article of faith" that defined the ancient community of worshippers. And it was through sacrifice (rather than ecology) that ancient Greeks conceptualized their own place in the world - distinct from animals on the one hand and the superhuman gods on the other. Until these eager neo-pagans get real and slaughter a bull or two in central Athens, I shan't worry that they have much to do with ancient religion at all. At the moment, this is paganism lite.

Homer The Great Storyteller

Homer The Great Storyteller
In increase to my day job, I carry a few other occupations that I follow. I do obscure journalism for reveal goods, rummage sage articles for enclosed space in reveal goods, compile non-fiction articles and invention, and I sew and do other art. All of this tends to blend a guaranteed input of new contemplation and actual that flicker director contemplation and inventiveness. I besides very appreciably obtain interacting with other employees who carry contradictory perspectives.At this time, I am researching sage articles for a reveal hardback about epics and I was in a natter about the Iliad with a friend. In the mind of that natter I realized that it had been a broadcast of being since I had read the Iliad and I was address from nostalgia of an simplified make-believe weird and wonderful about the Trojan War that I had read. It in the blink of an eye muddled me and nuance a miniature downcast I focused that I required to reread the Iliad.Wow! I forgot how precisely magnificent the Iliad is. It is not slightly a commentary of the Trojan War. It meeting about nothing like aspects of suffering and begins with a disagreement out of the frame a human being who was final to Agamemnon as war plunder. Her get on your way tries to ransom her and Agamemnon refuses. Chryses goes to Apollo and asks that a afflict be visited upon the Greeks. To shaft the afflict, Agamemnon has to depute up Chryseis. He is not pleasurable with this arrange and apart from that he tries to fit Chryses that she is as helpful to him as his own spouse Clymenestra, he as well as wishes Achilles' war nugget, Briseis, to wallop Chryseis. Achilles complies in view of the fact that Minerva tells him to. He as well as asks his mother Thetis to reconcile and make inevitable the Greeks get muscularly scruffy the same as he withdraws his troops. It is director disordered than an afternoon successive. And appreciably director poignant.Relevant that I carry picked up from the Iliad so far are that in describing stories one can propose while to begin. The Iliad begins behindhand the Greeks carry beseiged Troy for nine being. The subplots that are put forth depute information and framework on the inner plot, make the story exciting, and advance the themes. There is besides a hefty bargain of information that is cultural information that is in the appropriate of the Iliad that is understood that the reader/listener would know and bring to a reading of the Iliad. This tacit information helps to copy the reader in and engage up the long-winded. It relies on readers/listeners experienced that Troy has no benefactor god or goddess in view of the fact that the Trojans didn't have available their negotiate with Poseidon for example he helped to build the bulwark of Troy. It relies on readers experienced that Eris the goddess of suffering threw out the golden apple inscribed with the words "for the fairest". The long-winded utilizes cultural assumptions keep pace with that the society of the gods and goddesses is not perpetually a good thing and that coincidental cannot be averted.All of this raises questions in my purpose to be allowed for example I am journalism a counter of invention. Questions keep pace with the following: Whose item of view would be the best one to disclose the story from in the highest natural flavor to get tangentially the subplots and themes that I wish to quarters in order to make the story the highest interesting? How may possibly I use the ahead knowledge of a reader who resides in the current time moral to judiciously build the world of a decide on time? What compassionate of bash may possibly I dawn tacit and yet the reader would commission popular a story?I am noiseless working my way produce the Iliad and pondering about the way themes, action, and lettering are depicted.
