It seems that Zeus was preparing a wedding banquet for Peleus and Thetis and did not want to invite Eris because of Her reputation as a trouble maker.*
This made Eris angry, and so She fashioned an apple of pure gold** and inscribed upon it KALLISTI ("To The Prettiest One") and on the day of the fete She rolled it into the banquet hall and then left to be alone and joyously partake of a hot dog.
Now, three of the invited goddesses,*** Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite, each immediately claimed it to belong to herself because of the inscription. And they started fighting, and they started throwing punch all over the place and everything.
Finally Zeus calmed things down and declared that an arbitrator must be selected, which was a reasonable suggestion, and all agreed. He sent them to a shepherd of Troy, whose name was Paris because his mother had had a lot of gaul and had married a Frenchman; but each of the sneaky goddesses tried to outwit the others by going early and offering a bribe to Paris.
Athena offered him Heroic War Victories, Hera offered him Great Wealth, and Aphrodite offered him the Most Beautiful Woman on Earth. Being a healthy young Trojan lad, Paris promptly accepted Aphrodite's bribe and she got the apple and he got screwed.
As she had promised, she maneuvered earthly happenings so that Paris could have Helen (the Helen) then living with her husband Menelaus, King of Sparta. Anyway, everyone knows that the Trojan War followed when Sparta demanded their Queen back and that the Trojan War is said to be The First War among men.
And so we suffer because of the Original Snub. And so a Discordian is to partake of No Hot Dog Buns.
Do you believe that?
* This is called THE DOCTRINE OF THE ORIGINAL SNUB
** There is historic disagreement concerning whether this apple was of metallic gold or acapulco.
*** Actually there were five goddesses, but the Greeks did not know the Law of Fives.

 

I love all this positive feedback. Greek Mythology is filled with sex, love, betrayal, and sin. Seems like pretty good Inspiration for sex stories.

 

If there was ever a day to believe in the Greek Gods, today is that day ...

Let us hope that the Goddess Tyche may look down on us as we take our journey into the Abyss.

 

A Friend of mine used the user name Nemesis when playing online, Nemesis is of course the Goddess of Retribution, So when I started gaming I went with the name Themis,
THEMIS was the Titan goddess of divine law and order. I figured as we played many of the same games online the two names worked well together and it's kinda stuck with me ever since.

 

No...but nice try..was it any good ?

 

Interesting as these images are they are not exactly Gods of Legend and Mythology are they..Give me Thor, Give me Zeus etc etc but Hockey Gods...its a bit of a push.

 

And as such I will defend your right to do so, it's good to think outside the box, I've made a career out of it and never got found out (yet)..Good for you having a passion, in this case Hockey, a great game (and the punch ups are pretty good as well from a viewing point)..

 

Wise words..Great that you can make a living from something you love.

 

Do you follow that Mexican Religion?

 

Yes, I follow the Mexican Religion. Although their not the first ones I think of when it comes to Mythology. Although they do have a feathered serpent, and that goat eating menace. Which I can't spell his name.

 

This probably belongs in games but Dionysus or Bacchus is one of my favourites!

Thinskin

 

I forget what Dionysus was the god of. I've never heard of Bacchus could you tell me about him/her?

 

I more like German and Scandinavic mifology. About Valkirias ,Zigfrid, golden ring of power that was cursed.I read them once or twice a year

 

I would love to hear more on this subject?

 

Bro, there are 1000's of threads here that are still in GD for ONE reason and it is a weak one, because they were here before ilmj started working here so she won't move them ...

 

If anyone ever goes on tumblr there are some pretty cool member accounts there that will quench your thirst as far as "gods" go.

I was calling for Akeso (goddess of pain relief) yesterday/today and got a visit from Algea (goddesss of pain) instead lol.

I wonder if dolphins ever get this sore from flapping their fins LOL ???

 

Don't let looks fool you ...

 

Funny thing is, all gods are mythical except for the one you believe in.

 

Depends on who you ask. It is called Quetzalcoatl by the Aztecs, Kukulkan among the Yucatec Maya, and Q'uq'umatz and Tohil among the K'iche' Maya.
