I am a Saudi woman, but I feel that my life is threatened by my family, they force me to wear a hijab and abaya and they do not allow me to go anywhere without a man, I do not feel that I am free, what should I do?

Rhea gave aspects of herself to each of her 3 daughters- Hera (childbirth, marriage, women, queenship), Demeter (harvest and nature), & Hestia (the home & hearth)...

[@tyrellrivera]

Hera, her own daughter, is an anagram of the name, "Rhea."

Rhea wrestled a former Queen Eurynome, outsmarted Cronus twice saving both Poseidon and Zeus she did a lot.

To understand Rhea better we must bear in mind she was the chief god in the Minoan Cretan Mycenaean and possibly Phrygian matriarchal civilizations a Solar Goddess think rays of sunlight...aaaahhh 😉 She was one of the last chief female gods post younger dryas when physically stronger male armies toppled these and entered a rule thru female lineage of mother or wife period then monotheism happened. No more equality from there. The Cybele mysteries Eleucid as well trace thru Rhea

No wonder the Olympians are so messed up, none of them were raised by their mothers. No wonder Zeus and his siblings never learned to cope with things properly.

i still cant understand how you can say " and the wise zeus" with out laughing out loud xD all the BS woman chasing is not very wise in my eyes lol

[@CuteDwarf11]

I like Rhea. She may be calm, seemingly detached, but she is caring and nurturing, and has a really vengeful streak, and knows how to spell it out when crossed!

[@more17]

Loved the opening! Going past Rhea's role as mother of Zeus, her other myths and the ties between Rhea and Cybele were very interesting.

[@kimeraclan3135]

You mentioned Amalthea in this video! Fun side fact, it's also a recurring mythological story element to have female animal wet nurse, or at the very least the animal in question to be a animal stand-in for a human wet nurse. Maybe as a follow-up to all these Mother-Goddesses videos you could explore these symbolic beings. Also, there seems to be a running theme of therianthropy among the gods in order to go into hiding after some debacle, or in Zeus's case to have sex with random women and men.

There is a winner when it comes to world's worst pain. The worst pain in the world hands down is getting burned. Not only have I experienced this personally first hand. I have witnessed it multiple times with others when I was a

[@alexanderjensen2960]

So HAPPY TO GET THIS POWERFUL queen in the mix

[@calvinmiller3885]

Nice! A long video on a Greek mythology figure that there's limited information on.

[@AncestorEmpire1]

Worst pain i've ever experienced: Had a rotten tooth between a crown and silver filling, and to add a bonus.... This pain occurred on a Saturday, so no open dentist offices until monday. Had to wait until monday morning.
