It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏

For #AllHallows, have a relief of #Hermes in his role as #psychopomp. Hermes guides the souls of the dead to the underworld. Here, he takes the hand of a dead woman named Myrrhine on the way down to Hades.

It's the Day of Ares / Mars' Day / ! 🗡️

represents many nasty things as the God of War and he begets Fear (Phobos) and Terror (Deimos).

"Warlike [Ares] invented new modes of strife and a thousand forms of death. From this source streams of blood stained all lands and the sea grew red."

King Minos of #Crete was married to Pasiphaë, daughter of #Helios, the Sun. After he had been unfaithful several times, she cursed #Minos so he couldn't have sex with mortal women because he would ejaculate snakes, scorpions, and millipedes. As a goddess, #Pasiphaë herself remained unbothered when she slept with her husband. The Athenian girl Prokris overcame the spell by essentially inventing the #condom in the form of a goat's bladder.

@mythology Fun fact: #condoms made from animals are still around! Sheep intestine is a safe option for latex intolerant people. But it doesn't protect from STDs, just snakes, scorpions, and millipedes 😉

If you have a uterus and you live in the UK, it's time to update your threat model to include police testing you for the presence of abortion meds and requesting data from period-tracking apps: https://www.tortoisemedia.com/2023/10/30/british-police-testing-women-for-abortion-drugs/

It is not subtle at all but the sign language warmed my cold, cynical heart and Fizzarolli's performance at the end was great entertainment.

The I'm reading right now is "Umineko no Naku Koro ni". I'm only about 8 hours in - out of probably 50 hours for this "Question Arcs" section of the game.

(I haven't bought the "Answer Arcs" yet, but I will.)

I've only just gotten into visual novels, but I'm getting super-hyped about them!

@CJDouglass I have seen the anime Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, it was dark as fuck 😳

@CJDouglass How does it relate to the anime? If it's anything like the anime it's perfect for Halloween 😁

It's the Day of Helios / Sol's Day / #Sunday! ☀️

Meet this Roman gold and silver finger ring depicting the sun god Sol-Helios!
The relief shows the face of Helios in silver on a golden background. His seven-spiked sun-ray crown is also golden.

It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇

This is one of my favourite depictions of #Dionysos in ancient art. My written version of him is largely based on this gold relief of drunken Dionysos and a panther, supported by a #satyr friend.

Where to begin hunting down information on #mythology ? Specifically ancient British mythology (basically, anything but the King Arthur cycle of myths - I love it in its own way, but it's not what I'm looking for...). I'm aware of Orkneyjar ( http://www.orkneyjar.com/folklore/index.html ) which features some great info on folklore and myths of Orkney, but what about other places? Scotland, Ireland...? Been using Wikipedia thus far, and need a bit of direction beyond just typing "placename myths" into my search bar.

Classicists, mythology fans, and others, I've been trying to read and/or round out my collection. I really prefer bilingual works, not simply translations. Is Loeb consistently my best bet? Are there other recommendations? Should I decide work by work?

Current work under consideration is Hesiod's Theogony, but the questions stand more generally, too.

[Feel free to tag in a Classics group if there is one]

@aehdeschaine For groups, you could try @antiquidons and @histodons for recommendations of a bilingual Theogony edition.

The island of Hiddensee formed because of a blessing gone very wrong.

So very, very wrong...

@juergen_hubert If all the tourists know it is a lake of piss? 😂
It reminds me of a myth in which Thor wades through a river of urine, created by a jotunn woman.

Have a beautiful Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday 🌹

#Aphrodite-Venus with her iconic top-bow hairstyle as she puts on an anklet or a sandal. The gold of the jewellery and red of her lips really stands out against her dark skin.

@qblueheart @thumper I've said it before, I think Mastodon is the only platform that makes sense for adult content creators. At least until BS is really decentralised as an open software without any strings attached.

AimeeMaroux,
@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social avatar

@thumper @qblueheart Yeah, I know, it's different for everyone and in the end we gotta be where the audience is.
I'm not getting that much interaction on BS even though a group of old friends is technically there. They either don't post much or I miss their posts because there is no list feature and no notification feature.

Capitalism kills art. #Union #sagaftra #wga #strike

AimeeMaroux,
@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social avatar

@Yaminosenshi @ninjadodo @ned Oh yeah, that one too. I don't even remember that one coming to cinemas.

AimeeMaroux,
@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social avatar

@ninjadodo @ned Wasn't the Robin Hood film the one that would make or break Disney at the time of its release? They reused a lot of material from the Jungle Book in that one.

Anyway, I think capitalism does kill art in a multitude of ways. Having to consider the profit motive, what sells vs what you want to work on for instance. It is lucky if there is an overlap. But capitalism's greatest fans consider art useless anyway.

AimeeMaroux,
@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social avatar

@ninjadodo I love Studio Ghibli's work, will have to check out Cartoon Saloon too. Oh, and Laika Studios' films, though not 2D but clay animation, have a lot of heart and soul as well!
