Wuu. Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Dang, i need to start getting with the times :( You should add the date of expiring though, things tend to get confusing as they don't post in a club for 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Gamesmaster Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Discuss Artemis's boyfriends. Actæon is a dead stag, killed by his own dogs.Orion is a dead constellation, killed by a giant scorpion.Endymion is asleep forever, apparently enchanted by Zeus. And that's just the beginning of it.

No sheet. Also, the ocean is wet. Kinda sucks for Endymion, though. I'm still not sure what he did wrong to begin with, and I've read the myth forwards and back.

Supreme Gamesmaster Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Well, that's just the thing. Either he chose sleep to keep eternal youth (that's always part of the bargain), or he was cursed for doing I have no effing idea what. Hence, discussion on what you think Endymion did to deserve eternal sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Gamesmaster Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Aw, you guys are so unoriginal! I woulda' been fine with ancient Bulgaria... :( Well, not really, Artemis is too epic. We were talking about Endymion, and WTF he did to piss Zeus off enough that the big man put him to sleep... forever. In one version of the myth, he literally asked for it, but in the other, Zeus kinda forced it on him. I'm curious about your hypotheses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Gamesmaster Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 ... Read the topic? Endymion either chose or, in this case, was cursed with eternal youth — and slumber. Artemis, for some reason, fell madly in love with him... after he fell asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckmasta2020 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 err. From What I know of Endymion He was the king of a Peloponese city-state and the lover of Selene the moon goddess, who bore him fifty daughters.( who is identified with Diana of Romans. Artemis is also identified with her). She could not stand to see him die of old age so she put him in an everlasting deep slumber. in another myth Zeus granted him the wish to be able to sleep forever in a cave.

It is possible that for our purposes, the King bore Selene fifty daughters without going to sleep forever, and the sleeping Endymion was loved forlornly by Artemis. 'Cuz Artemis sure as hell didn't have any children, which is why I figure Artemis's reign was upset by YHVH... immediately after it started. Hence, Constantine.

Diana may have been influenced by Artemis, and even based on her, but they are not the same. though the Romans may have based their gods and goddesses on the Greeks, their culture was different and thus gave the Divine beings a different aspect to their Greek counterparts.

You just didn't wanna screw with Artemis 'cuz she'd snipe your jugular on the banks of Styx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
