Just remembered the one I had in mind was Loki not Zeus. The one where he shapshifted into a mare to seduce the stonemason's horse.

I often wondered if Loki was able to circumvent the normal equine gestation, or if they had to remain in that form for nearly a year. Regardless, birthing an eight-legged foal must have been something of an ordeal...but then, Loki is no stranger to pain.

@mythologymonday @mythology @folklore @TarkabarkaHolgy @curiousordinary @wihtlore @FairytalesFood @bevanthomas @FinnFolklorist @Godyssey @GaymerGeek @starrytimepod Well, last week's "treasure fire" tales might have been a good fit, but I don't want to get too repetitive.

Let's see what else I can dig up...

@mythologymonday @archaeodons @mythology @folklore @TarkabarkaHolgy @juergen_hubert @curiousordinary @wihtlore @FairytalesFood @bevanthomas @FinnFolklorist @Godyssey @GaymerGeek @starrytimepod I took my daughter and her best friend to the Getty Museum in Santa Monica. Both Percy Jackson nuts, so we did their Percy Jackson tour.

Watching the two 12 year olds have an absolute blast naming the Gods off the Greek Vases was amazing. Far far better than me.

Mom. It's Asclepius, not Hermes. His staff has 1 snake, no two, so it isn't the cacaduceus.

Upon Medusa's death (read: murder at the hands of Perseus), she births Pegasus (yes, that Pegasus) and Chrysaor (who is not a winged-horse)...

Listen to our most recent for details on the Dad & a hilariously bad mispronunciation of "Chrysaor" (that Jordan refused to cut out 😂)

In 2023, in , yet another grave was discovered¹ with several common anti-vampire tracts:

  • The body was placed downward
  • A sickle was placed on the body's neck
  • A lock was placed on its feet

In that case, if the buried one was a , or tried to come back among the living, those gimmicks hopefully would have stopped it.

It wasn't uncommon, in Eastern Europe, to have legends and beliefs about vampires. In mythology:

  • The strzyga, not to be confused with the worshippers of Morana or Striga (Stribog's² female counterpart), was believed some kind of vampire or demon
  • Strigoi³ were vampiric spirits and witches
  • A kresnik⁴ (not the homonymous god) was a shamanic worker who was said to hunt vampires and protect villages form malicious spirits
  • It was common to put some "extra precautions" in some tombs, as copper coins in the mouth of the deceased as expedient against evil

A modern representation, in metal, as a medallion of a strzyga. From Wikimedia description: "An Old Slavic female demon with two souls, two hearts and two rows of teeth confused with a vampire. According to records, Strigas were supposed to come from girls (newborns) who were born with teeth to be able to lead the life of a predator."

    For those who are interested in a Hellenic Polytheist community, there is a federally recognized non-profit organization based out of the New England area of the United States. The Temple of Dionysus heavily follows Xenia, and is an all-ages, LGBTQ+, Trans, and female led Temple. We are currently virtual, and focused on providing a safe space for those to worship their gods without judgement, and hope to one day have a physical space.
