I've been doing some light research on the mythological story of Karpos and Kalamos
At first, I was finding the same summary over and over with slightly different wording. Summary in my own words: Karpos was a gorgeous youth who was deeply in love with his boyfriend Kalamos, the child of Maiandros (god of the Maeander river) and Khloris (or Chloris) (spring, or new vegetation). The two decided to have a swimming competition in the river. Karpos drowned causing Kalamos to fall into despair and allowed himself to drown in the river as well. Kalamos was then transformed into a water reed whose songs are said to be sighs of lamentation.
Then I came across a completely different summary from a library that said the two were friends yet decided to include the detail that the water reed is quite phallic-like.
What. How can you call them friends and in the same paragraph make a dick joke?
Anyway- this lead me to look deeper and I found this awesome blog post that explains more in-depth about Karpos and Kalamos. I wanted to share!
Some of the additional information you get to learn in the article is:
Kalamos tries to blame the gods of the four winds for drowning Karpos by creating a wave in the river
Kalamos comes to the conclusion that it must have been his father, god of the river, that created the wave that drowned Karpos
His last words were of how he wanted to have a single grave and headstone for himself and his love Karpos

This is a call to action for all the PJO girlies (gender neutral) that I know are sleeper agents on this webbed site
Go read Trials of Apollo. Go do it. Do it right now.
I know what you’re thinking. “Tbh I didn’t love Rick’s writing towards the end of Heroes of Olympus” “There’s no Percy so why bother” “All of the Argo II crew are kinda OOC” and listen my friends. You are so valid to have those opinions. I felt the same way after Blood of Olympus. But listen to me. Look at me.
Now that you have had some time away, you must give these books another try. For me. For Uncle Rick. For the demon baby grain spirit who is only able to say his own name (Peaches).
Do not worry friends, I do not expect you to read just based on my say-so - I also provide:
A list of reasons why you (yes you) should go read the Trials of Apollo series right now gogogo:
(Spoiler warning - all broad plot things that you learn early on, but I know some people (including me) avoid that shit at all costs)
All the chapters are titled in bad haiku. Ya know that one scene in Titan’s Curse where Apollo just starts reciting apropos of nothing? That’s every chapter title. They’re all so bad it’s amazing.
Apollo is so up his own ass about everything, and it’s so cool to experience the same world through the eyes of someone who is not used to being in amongst the chaos
Oh yeah the plot. That’s a reason to read it.
Okay so
Basically Zeus continues his streak of being a shitty shit parent and decides to blame like… every bad thing that has happened on Apollo, and punish him by turning him mortal and enslaving him to a demigod girl named Meg who is a garbage gremlin with a little demon baby guard named Peaches (see above)
And like the A plot is they gotta save the oracles from shitty old Romans who wanna take over the world (stop me if you’ve heard this one before)
But like the B plot is about what it means to discover that you’ve fucked up, you’ve made mistakes, you’ve hurt people, and you gotta fucking own up to that shit
But also
You do not deserve to be punished for every horrible thing that has ever happened because of you, or even around you, and when a parental or authority figure in your life tells you that, they are an abuser and they are wrong
And yet
It can be so hard to fully separate yourself from them. Because for so long, they were all you had.
But that’s okay, because when you start to learn that the people who were supposed to care for you and love you were not actually doing that, there are people around you who will love you, who will support you, who will pick you up and hold you close and make sure you know that you are okay
And they can’t fix you
But they can give you the safe space to fix yourself
hmm that was an essay about themes and metaphors BUT THATS WHY YOU SHOULD READ IT
also there’s a wikipedia arrow who only speaks in Elizabethan prose (in all caps)
OH ALSO ALSO you get to see Will and Nico being a CUTE AS FUCK couple in the first book. Nico smiles. Also makes skeletons grow out of the ground when people annoy him. Fuck I love this little gay death boy so much.
AND. You get to see so MANY of your old friends. And they still! Get! Plot! And! Character! Development!! Even though they are only there for a little bit
OH OH OH there are two old lesbians who run a halfway house for people who are tangled up in magic shit with nowhere else to go
Did I mention Peaches? I did. He’s my favorite.
OH ALSO. This is “unreliable narrator” executed SO FUCKING WELL. Like, all narrators are unreliable. But Apollo used to be a FUCKING GOD. He has not had to deal with the reality of death all that much. He’s used to people praising his name and bowing down at his feet. But that ain’t happening!! And he is Unhappy about that!! But it also lets there be such a clear juxtaposition between what Apollo believes about himself and about the world and what is really true, which is such a wonderful way to write about recovery from trauma.
Ahem
Anyway it’s just real good Uncle Rick continues to knock it out of the park but he just did something different and we (at least I) needed some space from OG PJO fan brain before I could appreciate how fucking awesome this series is.
OH OH OH and if you like audiobooks Robbie Daymond (hello CR mutuals - yes, this is the one who is our beloved Blue Boi who we (Orym) so desperately need returned) is the audiobook narrator and he is. So fucking good. Absolutely NAILS the dramatic-ass-inner-monologue of this dramatic ass ex-deity. Also nails all the other voices as well. 15/10 audiobook narration I’m lichrally gonna go listen to other books JUST cuz he reads them.
okay why the fuck are you still here. GO. GET THESE BOOKS. If your public library does Libby you can absolutely get them on there. GO FORTH.

Karpo Deity Guide
Tumblr media
Who is Karpo?
Seen as somewhat of a minor deity in mythos, Karpo (Καρπω) , also written as Carpo, is the Greek goddess or one of the Horae—goddesses of the seasons—representing Autumn and harvest. The ancients had varying ideas of the seasons and these ideas would change depending on where, when, and who you asked.
In some places, there were three seasons, and so there were three Horae. In other places, there were only two, and in others, there were four or five.
Despite being a minor deity in mythology, Karpo (along with the other Horae) had some big jobs to do. Horae were in charge of guarding Olympus, helping Helios, protecting young humans and newborn gods, as well as running the passage of time and ripening fruit!
Parents and Siblings
For parentage, there are two main pairings I’ve found:
Zeus and Themis (Hesiod)
Helios and Selene (Later in Roman myth)
For siblings the list could go on forever, as this list would change depending on the parents. Instead, I’ll list the other Horae:
Auxo
Thallo
(Originally the three seasons’ goddesses were the Auxo, Thallo, and Carpo. Later other Horae were added)
Lovers or Partners
None listed
Children
None listed
Epithets
Phthinoporon (a later iteration of the goddess of Autumn, who some say is the same as Karpo)
The Bringer of Food/Fruits
Damia (possibly)
Notes
Karpo comes from the Greek Karpos meaning “fruit” but her name could also mean “harvest” in the context of the Horae.
The Horae were mostly worshipped by farmers.
It’s possible the name Karpo started as an epithet of Demeter.
Karpo is also described as also having been a Charity by Pausanias
I have found one mention of a festival—Horaea, with no date or timeframe given.
The Horae were often found in the company of Aphrodite, the Muses, and Apollo.
Karpo specifically has been associated with Dionysus, Persephone, Hera, and Pan.
In early Athens, only Karpo and Thallo were worshipped. They were also worshipped at Argos, Corinth, and Olympia.
The Horae are also seen as protectresses of newborn gods and of youths and as such were mentioned in the oaths that Athenian youths would make in the temple of Agraulos
They are depicted as young maidens, often dressed lightly and covered in flowers. The Horae are pleasant and kind towards humans, neutral at worst.
Modern Deity Work
Not much is known about how the Horae were worshipped, so I have done my best to find some traditional offerings and correspondences as well as modern ones.
Correspondences
Rocks/Stone/Crystals
Gold, Carnelian
Herbs/Plants
Grapes
Most fruits but especially those from Ancient Greece such as pomegranates, raisins, and figs.
Olives
Animals
Hare
Lizard
Offerings
Wine
Grapes
Olives, olive oil
Flowers (+ flower garlands, flower crowns)
Honey
Jewelry
Acts of Devotion
Work in a garden or tend to plants
Appreciate the passage of time
Celebrate annual festivals or holidays related to the passage of time

While (not so successfully) rearranging things on the book shelves, trying to somehow find room for the new books that have been gathering just about everywhere during the last year or so, I thought I’d share the artwork on the cover of this book.
Whenever I see it, I imagine there’s some snobbish nobleman or even enemy envoy in front of these Cossacks, trying very hard to show off, and the Cossack in the foreground just... isn’t impressed.
The picture is part of a painting by Карпо Трохименко (Karpo Trokhymenko). I didn’t find it online, but the title should be simply “Козаки”, because the book gives it as “Les cosaques” in French.

It's what I love so much of this place, the Tankwa Karoo. No people, no traffic, the quietness, the amazing night sky and no pollution. Sometimes I do not see a human in days.

‘Raktsey Karpo’: In a first, Ladakh apricot gets GI tag
Srinagar, Dec 15: Cold desert of Ladakh is on a high after its famed apricot was granted  Geographical Identification (GI) tag. Apricots of Trans-Himalayan Ladakh are known for their quality as the region has not witnessed the introduction of cultivars from outside the UT.

Good afternoon!!
I’m searching for information on Zephyrus. Have you had any experience with him? If not that’s cool. I can’t seem find any followers of his.
Hey there!
Unfortunately, I do not worship Zephyrus nor do I have any experience with him. I did do some brief research about him for you, though!
I do, however, have some information that I can share that may help you! This is stuff I am finding online through various sources; I'm mostly trying to stick to historical sources.
Zephyrus
• Frankincense is a common offering for all Anemoi
• You can find hymns written to the Anemoi among the Orphic Hymns (hymn 80 is specifically for Zephyros)
• Zephyrus, the West Wind, is considered the gentlest of the four winds and is a bringer of spring, carrying seeds on his winds and warming up the earth
• Here is a prayer to the four winds, including one specifically for Zephyrus, that I found
• General Hellenic offerings that can be given to most gods (including Zephyrus) would include clean water, wine, milk, cheese, grains, fruits, veggies, olives, bread, meat, olive oil, and figs
• There are no historical festivals for Zephyrus (or any Anemoi), but people typically celebrate him with the coming of spring, specifically the spring equinox
• Offerings you can give to Zephyrus would be feathers (always clean ones found in nature first), flowers (especially those that bloom in spring), unripe fruits, swan imagery, horse imagery, and tiger imagery
• He is married to Khloris (Chloris), goddess of greenery, according to Ovid (the Dionysiaca also claims Iris, goddess of rainbows and messenger of Hera, to be his wife)
• His children are said to be Xanthos, Balios, Eros, Pothos, Areion, Karpos, literal tigers, and literal horses
• Some of his known epithets (based mostly on what I could find in the Orphic Hymn and Theoi.com's mentioned sources; I couldn't find the original Greek, so it's just in English, sorry) are Sea-born, Aerial, Unseen, Lightwinged, Richest of all Winds, Brightening, Nimble God of Wayside Shrines, Golden-haired, Rapid, Swift, Gentle, Kindly, Lightest of all Things, Storm-blowing, Blustering, Stormy, Straight-flown, Strongly Blowing, Light (as in "light as a feather"), Earth-born (gigantos; only translated word I found), and The Gentle Breeze
• I know this is a very over used source, but I highly recommend checking out Theoi.com s entry on Zephyrus for more information about him
----
Truthfully, this is all I can find. I'm also having a hard time finding any worshippers of his online, but maybe one of my followers will see this and reblog with additional information. If they do, I'll be sure to reblog it so that you can hopefully see the addition.
I hope this helps a little, at least, and I hope you have a good night/day! 🧡🌬️
