JOIN US! Every Monday, we announce a theme & pin it here. You toot a story from world mythology and tag it #MythologyMonday (tag us too to make sure we see it). We boost it!

Your toot can be on- or off-theme, but do tell the gist of the story in the body of your toot (we don't boost toots that contain only teasers or promos).

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.
