Favorite God/Mythological Creature: Artemis

Favorite Ancient Civilization: Greek; Artemis and Endymion, plus The Iliad and The Odyssey, raise it above the almost-as-intriguing Egyptian mythos.

 

No club card pl0x; I don't want to be a not-synchro.

 

My favorite is Gilgamesh. If you've ever read the epic about him' date=' it makes him completely amazing.

I've read that; it was the GTA of epic poetry. Naturally, The Iliad > Gilgamesh.

 

The only story I found found in current world religions and in mythology is the great flood that almost wiped everyone out. Nearly every religion has a story about the same flood that Noah went through.

Black Sea flood. /topic.

 

Also: Christmas is a ripoff of Saturnalia.

 

@Greek, Roman Gods:

Greek and Roman mythological figures often had completely different personalities.

Kronos was a man-eating brute of a Titan, while Saturn was so benevolent, he ruled Elysium, and his celebration later became Christmas.

Odysseus was a bold, cunning hero with unswerving fidelity, while Ulysses was a despicable coward.

 

This is mostly because the Romans were practically totalitarian, and their systems of values were far less sophisticated than those of the Greeks.

Well.... Change the style then' date=' we won't have a problem >_>

 

Jupiter = Zeus

Actually, each civilisation had their gods that where the same as other civilisation's their gods.

For example, us Christians have God, the Jews have Allah God = Allah.

There's actually no need to make topics for that and with that [/Topic]

And Norse Mythology's Grendel is pretty much FTW.

Grendel < Grendel's Mother.

 

 

Achilles = Best. Demigod. Ever.

 

Pretty much the only invincible behemoth to have brains and speed as well as invulnerability and brawn. He was even bisexual.

Gamemaster' date=' I didn't accept you into the club yet, one strike. Christmas isn't a ripoff of that other holiday, so what if they are on the same day? They have different meaning and everything, religious denials are not allowed on this thread.

lolwut. You can't discuss until you're accepted? You were offline at the time; what was I supposed to do?

 

They aren't on the same day. However, the actual celebration is exactly the same, complete with enigmatic divine benefactors and decorated trees.

 

Achilles was pretty badass for a Greek hero.

 

Though they were others as well.

I mostly like him for his brains. You like any others?

 

Also: Educate me in teh Norse pl0x. It's kinda like the German language: I'd like to learn it, but haven't had the time.
