[@boldcounsel9406]

*Fun Fact:* Themis was originally (and is still) portrayed without a blindfold. That was a satirical addition made in the 16 century on a statue made in Switzerland - to say that Justice in that area was blind to the injustice before her. The logo for the International Court of Justice has her with the blindfold pushed up like a headband and other courts don't have a blindfold on her at all Also: Thinking of this concept from a purely logical perspective,. How does wearing a blindfold help anyone use a scale (something you have to look at)? Justice is better suited using all her senses. Her very nature should insure impartiality and it should be afraid in her sight.

Ей повязка никогда не нравилась! Люди сами её придумали, потомучто не могли выдержать Её взгляд! Её сила в Её глазах! Она всё всегда видит! Она Закон, приносящий Порядок! И да, Немизида работает с ней!

I'd hope for some more Mesopotamian stuff (such as Marduk, Ninurta, Ninshurag, Nergal, Tammuz etc)

[@internetxxx_pl0r3r_xxx77]

A video on the mythos of Greco-Bactria would be neat. It was the easternmost remnant state of Alexander's empire, where Greeks ruled for quite some time. They apparently fought a Chinese dynasty in something called "The war of the heavenly horses", and there's elements of religious syncretism in the few artifacts that remain, such as artwork depicting Hercules as a protector or champion of the Buddha.

[@russganess]

This is the kind of video I like. No religious crap; just historical significance and cultural understanding.

[@Jobe-13]

People don’t talk much about the titans. Mostly because Cronos and Uranus ruined the titans’ reputation by eating their own children.

[@humanity600]

True A good number of them tried to mind their own business.

[@Jobe-13]

@@humanity600 Yup. It’s why Zeus didn’t imprison all of the titans in Tartarus after the Great Titan War. A lot of them wanted to stay out of it.

[@edward_19]

Nice video, love your vids on Greek mythology 💙

[@jusk8lp]

Great storytelling, great art. I love hearing this kind of refresher on my Greek mythology knowledge. But I just want to point out that I don't enjoy the language that you've chosen to use. Words and phrases like "It is believed," "seems", "is said to", while not inaccurate in the context you're likely trying to convey, give off an impression of uncertainty. You have a terrific set of resources with which you've built a comprehensive narrative on Themis, so I think that allows you to have a more assertive voice in telling a story like this.

[@hanzohattori5980]

This very interesting to learn about her 👍

[@marinakaiser7639]

Thank you for a great story as always

[@chrisberatis2612]

Do you think it’s possible if you can do a video on Keisuke Yamanami who was a Japanese samurai and the general secretary of the Shinsengumi.

Sounds like someone went to Egypt and came back to Greece and created their own version of Ma'at.

There's definitely been a copy and renaming while suppression of original from the face of the earth. This should terrify everyone.

[@jackwalters3928]

When you see a greek word with "OI" in it, like "moirae", a good rule of thumb is to read it as and "I". In greek, some words are spelled in a special way. Some times, the sound "I" (as in "limb, tip, see" etc) is written in more ways. Some of them include multiple letters, such as "OI" but it's pronounced as an "I". Same with the sound "E" (as in "yes, dress, flesh" etc). Some times that too is written in a different way, with an "AI" instead of an "E" but it's pronounced as an "E". So, "moirai" is pronounced as "mire" (me as in me and re as in respiratory).

[@user-fl7zn2tn9q]

Thank you for this insight. If you can see this, what sources would you recommend to learn greek pronunciation?

[@jackwalters3928]

@@user-fl7zn2tn9q I don't know, it's my mother tongue. I guess you could use Duolingo and then watch greek movies or talk to greek people. Perhaps even "google translate", where you click the audio and a voice pronounces the word. That'd be quite helpful.

[@TheRealValus]

"The main trend draws with it all particular accidents." - Montesquieu THEMIS is the Greek goddess of divine law, order, and justice. Her name derives from "tithemi", meaning: to put in place. Now, it occurs to me that everything (in a divine manner of speaking) might already be "put in place", - or that everything is already being put into the place where divine law directs it to be-and-go. If this be the case, then, there may be some insight here which fundamentally transcends language and duality. Consider: Wasn't it, also, in the language of the Greeks, that Stoics liked to say, "All things are good to the one who is good," and the Christians asked, "Who is good but God,"? Supposing divine law/order/justice means "everything in its proper place" AND supposing nothing is ever truly out of place - if all is simply the will of God -then, what can injustice even mean? It would only exist, or appear to make sense, as a real phenomenon, to the person who does not perceive the higher order, which is already established, and establishing itself. Our minds are too fixed, generally, to touch such insights; we insist on taking hold, and possession, of them. We object, "Nonsense! Look, here, there is injustice - and, over there, disorder!" So we speak, or so words compel us to sound, whether we are mindful or unmindful of the truth, that we are speaking in our proper place; that order is not fixed, but flowing. There is no disorder, on the level of the absolute, for there is nothing to contrast with order. There is only one activity, one possibility, without alternatives.

Found an IED, solely my idea to go look in a previous location 4 weeks earlier where we found a RPG launcher and 2RPG Rd. When New Platoon Sargent SSG Richards asked anyone want to go anywhere I was Dismount like last time. I said won't we look in that location where found those RPG. We were headed to other side of city. I called up PSG told we were going the wrong direction. He says how do you know(gunning much learn the layout of city) ask PSG to make my truck lead truck and if I was wrong I would owe him when we got back. Made my MRAP lead truck, I got platoon there and we found an IED propane tank with cutout with HME and Blasting Cap got full credit on my ARCOM which SSG Griffith tried to get denied. SSG Richards (told me with SSG Ramos) spoke up for me told them at Battalion "that he deserve that Shit"

@2:47 "She was originally an organizer of communal affairs between the humans..." Wait a sec, it would appear from this statement that humans were already existing at Cronus' time. But didn't Zeus made the humans after the Olympians won the Titanomachy?

No Zeus did not make 'man' he and the other God's made the first women, it was the titan Prometheus who made man, plus I guess this is a plot hole why man where around before that idk

[@rickscott8091]

I really enjoy these videos thankyou Are you able to do a vid on if any of the Greek and Roman , Celtic etc etc match with the fallen angels of the Bible and or The book of Enoch where they describe teaching mankind pharmakia , sorcery , war and to make weapons etc etc .. Like these Titans all these supposedly gods ( Small ) want to take credit for creating and or teaching / steering mankind . I think most are the same fallen & offspring the world over though using different forms / images / deceptions but pretty much the same tales of deluge and flying battles in or out of aerial machines or maybe something like bluebeam was used back then . Most of the tech we have now I believe is rediscovered or redistributed / allowed tech . Etc etc.. Antarctica is Big in past present and future for sure ! Men of old , men of renown are there I think ? Movies point out so much in our face truth . Satan must give the illusion of truth & choice . He gives truth though tricks us into disregarding it or make us think it is wrong or bad even ridiculous . He will show truth so he can argue that he gave you a choice ! Matahabra the Indian tales also fit
