I'm not one of those annoying people that think they know everything about Greek mythology but I actually knew about this God I was obsessed with ancient mythology growing up to the point that my teachers thought I was autistic because I was the only fourth grader that wouldn't play and would stay in a corner reading a book about ancient gods 😅 also as a hermaphrodite my self thanks for bringing hermaphoditus to light ❤

My favorite Greek mythology family is Nyx and her children. Nyx is the primordial goddess of the night And her children consist of Thanatos, god of Death (not the dead, that's hades) Nemesis, goddess of divine retribution Hypnos, God of sleep Momus, God of mockery Oizys, goddess of pain Eris, goddess of discord and strife And Philotes, goddess of friendship

What happened to Hermaphroditus was tragic. He was straight up assaulted, forced to merge with a female he didn't want touching him. That description was so rapey. I mean, I get it. I just feel so bad for him going through that. I was so sickened listening to the story. He was even a minor.

Initially, the Latin letter C represented both hard K and G sounds (the early Romans didn’t distinguish between voiced and voiceless velar plosives). Eventually, through the influence of Greek and neighbouring Celtic languages, the letter G was invented for the voiced sound. By the end of the first century CE, (probably also due to Greek and Celtic influences), both Latin C and G began to differentiate between hard (velarised) and soft (palatised) sounds, producing the variant pronunciation that we find in Romance languages (and English) today. In the early days of the Roman Empire, SALMAKIS would have been the standard pronunciation. By the end of the second century CE, SALMASIS would have been more usual throughout most of the Western Roman Empire. In the original Greek, however, it is spelt with a K, so there is a good argument to retain the original SALMAKIS pronunciation, regardless of later changes in the Latin language.

Ooh I loved this episode about lesser-known gods! And yes, I am going to be one of those who says I have heard of all three, but that's only because I spend an ungodly amount of time on Theoi 😅 lol. Here are some more lesser-known gods you could talk about: Angelia - goddess of messages, daughter of Hermes Arce - sister of Iris, messenger of the Titans, represented the faded second rainbow that is sometimes seen accompanying a rainbow Eilleithyia - daughter of Zeus and Hera, goddess a childbirth, played a role in the birth of Heracles Empusa, Lamia, Mormolyceia - succubi/vampiric-like daemons Mnemosyne - goddess of memory (among other things), mother of the nine Muses (their conception was, uh, quite interesting lol) And speaking of the Muses, obviously not unknown goddesses, but maybe you could talk about all the different groups of goddesses? Like the Muses, the Seasons (Horae), things like that.

She's got some weird ones that are gods of like, negative emotions; Nemesis I think is one of the more well-known but I may be wrong. I find Nyx fascinating because she's a primordial Goddess, one of, if not THE first depending on what you're reading. You'd think her kids would be more worldly or elemental and not so human-centric.

When you announced this episode last episode I was so excited because I thought for sure it was finally going to be the elusive Momos episode. I was so happy to find that I was right! For context, I'm the one that first brought up the deity of Momos 2 years ago. I forgot which video it was but I do remember you saying you screenshotted it so you wouldn't forgot the "muse" who inspired. I also kept a screenshot of the comment on my phone too so I could be prepared to say how long it was since you responded to my comment (I just wish I remembered what video it was). lol Anyway, the episode was entertaining and worth the wait. Momos sure has some balls on him, well I guess not anymore. XD I don't really have any deities to suggest this time. I still think talking about Tiresias would be funny though because of the unfortunate situation they had to settled between Zeus and Hera due to their unique experience.

Knew about Silenus, but not the details. Also, wasn't wine-making technically invented when Zeus made the "potion" that he gave Semele? Also knew about Hermaphroditus. Looked 'em up just recently for some context, was surprised to find out that he was born male, but was merged with a woman, to become intersex. Interesting stuff. Sadly, that's pretty much all there is to his\ their myth. But apparently Hermaphroditus inspired some really nice neo-classicist art, so that's something, at least. Since you started talking about Hermaphroditus, might I suggest Inanna? A Sumerian virgin-goddess of war, whose priests were either gay, inter-, or transsexual? Apparently she's pretty popular with the LGBT crowd because of this. You should totally do more Middle-Eastern deities in general. Arabic and Jewish pre-Islam and pre-Judaism deities were pretty interesting. Also, cover some more Native American beliefs, because everybody knows about the Wendigo and Skinwalker (sometimes these get conflated), but fewer people know about other spirits, heck, even the Thunderbird or the White Buffalo (if we're talking about NA). In SA there's Pachamama, which is an Earth goddess in the Andean region of Peru, if I remember correctly. Methinks the current name is a mix of native and European languages, but I'm not sure.

Hermaphroditus is the only one out of all 3 of these I have ever heard, but never knew his story. It is nice to learn something new, and his story, as well as the first 2 is interesting.

Also extra comment because I was so happy to see the Nyx picture from the game Hades! Hades and Hades2 are some of the absolute most fun games ever. She was definitely one of my favorite characters in it. In the second game Selene and Echo are the cutest

I've heard of Hermathrodus and his myth but not the other two. I also like the idea of a pool somewhere out there in Greece that still to this day turns guys into girls or hermaphrodites or merges guys and girls

I’d like to hear your take on Eos, a secondary Greek deity. While maybe not as disturbing as some of her family members, her story is a sad one. The Greek family tree is so much to break apart, and I’m sure there are more interesting deities to speak of but hey.

Dude I can’t stand how in Greek myths the rape victim is given to the rapist as a prize or is punished for being so attractive as to catch the attention of the rapist or for not doing “enough” to fight off the rapist. This happens way too often IRL too. The victim blaming/shaming while praising/rewarding the rapist.

I've been mentioning Ptah, the Egyptian God of Creation a few times; honestly speaking, Ptah really does need a whole video dedicated to him, especially with just how insane his power really is. When one of your monikers is "The Unmade Creator" you know the stuff about you is going to be pretty crazy, especially since Ptah is is said to have literally created the universe, and all its rules and laws, from nothing, including his own body; take a moment to let all that to really sink in.

So there’s this old Disney animation, I believe it’s called Pastoral Symphony. There’s nymphs and satyrs partying , and at one point this fat little man comes in riding on a donkey and drinking, everyone seems to be worshiping him too. I always assumed it was Dionysus but could he have been Silenus ?
