#Mnemosyne

[stygianoaths]

thinking about how if bianca hadn't died, nico would still exhibit a lack of a brain to mouth filter. like imagine hades explaining greek mythology to his kids while they take a walk through the underworld, and 10 year old nico goes:

"does the river lethe work on mnemosyne?"

bianca is swatting at him in a panic to shut the fuck up and hades remains quiet before remarking that he is not exactly sure.

#like think about it iapetus's memory got washed away and he was a titan just like mnemosyne #hoo #pjo #nico di angelo #bianca di angelo #hades #mnemosyne #percy jackson and the olympians #heroes of olympus

Is it a wonder that Peach knows about having to overcome sensory issues? The boys don’t have that problem like she does but they definitely helped some accidentally. Hopefully they can help out Zeus and eventually Mosy!

This came to my mind in response to all the chocolate Zeus has been receiving. I hope I'm not overstepping any boundaries by drawing this. I've been really enjoying watching your Mew characters!

I've come to accept that Randy will offer coffee to others just to see their reaction. He himself doesn't love coffee, he just doesn't hate it. But Randy and Akoya both dislike sweet--poor Lav!

For how often one hears about Zeus's seven marriages in Hesiod's Theogony, it's worth noting that Hesiod actually only calls two of those seven goddesses wives, probably suggests marriage for a third, but gives not the slightest indication that the other four unions were marriages. Let's take a look at the text.

"Zeus as king of the gods made Metis his first wife (alochos), wisest among gods and mortal men".

"Second he married sleek Themis, who bore the watchers, Lawfulness, Justice, and flourishing Peace … and the Fates, to whom Zeus the resourceful gave the most privilege" The word Hesiod actually uses is "ἠγάγετο" = lead, carry, fetch, bring. So no explicit mention to marriage is made, though it makes sense to interpret it as such, as Zeus leading Themis to Olympos in the way a wife is supposed to be brought home. In the only instance of someone taking a spouse before the regime of Zeus in the Theogony, Perses is said to have brought/led (ἠγάγετ᾽) Asteria "to his great house to be called his dear wife (akoitis)", so the same word used in reference to Zeus and Themis here explicitly refers to marriage earlier in the text.

"Eurynome, a daughter of Oceanus with lovely looks, bore him the three Graces, Aglaia, Euphrosyne, and fair Thalia." No indication of marriage here.

"And he came to the bed of Demeter abundant in nourishment, and she bore the white-armed Persephone." No mention of marriage here either, and possibly meaningful that Zeus is the one who goes to her bed rather than vice versa. Well, not actually meaningful, but it sure doesn't sound like a marital or long-term relationship.

"Again, he took love of Memory with her lovely hair, from whom the Muses with their golden diadems were born, nine of them…" + "[the Muses] were born in Pieria to Memory, queen of the foothills of Eleutherae, in union with the father, the son of Kronos; … Nine nights Zeus the resourceful lay with her, going up to her holy bed far away from the immortals." So Zeus loved (ἐράσσατο) Mnemosyne, and visited her, to her own home and apart from the other gods, for nine nights. No part of this indicates a marriage.

"Leto gave birth to Apollo and Artemis the archer, lovely children above all the celestials, in shared intimacy with Zeus who bears the aegis." Again, no mention of marriage. Similar language is used to describe Zeus's sexual unions with Semele and Alkmene.

"Last of all he made Hera his fertile wife (akoitis), and she bore Hebe and Ares and Eileithyia, sharing intimacy with the king of gods and men." The language used to describe the sexual union is the same, except that Hera is also made a wife.

Is it possible to interpret all of these unions as marriages? Certainly, but that's just not something Hesiod actually claims. It is just as possible to only consider Metis, Themis and Hera as actual wives, or even just Metis and Hera, though personally I'd consider all three. Notice, too, that only these three have their positions on the list specified and clearly identified: first, second and last.

hello, please may I have a prayer for aid in my exams this week? thank you :)

Of course! I have a prayer specifically for Mnemosyne for exams, so I’ll do this one as a prayer to multiple gods (unless you want something more specific)

For aid during exams

Hear me, gods of knowledge,

Owl-eyed Athena, who grants us with wisdom and guidance,

Golden-robed Mnemosyne, who allows us to remember and use our reasoning,

Koios, pillar of the north, who holds domain over intellect and allows us to question.

If I have honoured you through my learning, hear this prayer, great gods of knowledge,

I ask for your aid during this exam, to allow me to access all the knowledge I have gained during my studies, and to be with me during this time

I ask for your favour with a token of my praise, I offer to you (offering)

Come, O Muses, and heed my prayer!

Come Kalliope, muse of epic poetry, and bless my studies.

As I begin the grand Iliad, assist me in learning from its messages.

Teach me, O Muses, to discern truth from myth and bring the words into the light.

~~~~~~~~~~

Come, O Hermes Hermeneutes, Interpreter of languages,

Bless my studies of Homer, that the translation I read will be illuminating.

Be with me, o Translater, between these pages so I might learn about the ancient culture of your people.

~~~~~~~~~~

Come, Apollo Musgetes, and sing with the muses.

Sing of epic tales and heros, of kings and warriors.

Grant me, O Shining One, Wisdom to understand your songs.

~~~~~~~~~~

Come, finally, Mnemosyne, goddess of memory.

Grant to me your power so I may learn well and retain these lessons.

I offer these cakes and wine to you O Theoi, so that you may grant the wisdom and focus I need.

I give so that you may give.
