today days old faun/fauna same etymology (equivalent to pan roman god faunus &/or fauna)
#greek equivalent of fauna is panis no way
#learning things when going what is/was particular distinctions b/w fauns & satyrs btw. oh great now the pucks are depicted satyrically
#what do you have to do to get No Cultural Crosspollination across centuries in even the relatively limited region of now europeish. smh
#including going on into the modern day when my association w/fauns is less abt Nature God Connections than kinda goated w/the sauceness
#hence not going Ah Of Course about All Creatures and Nature God Connections in the first place lol
#the surprise ''obvious'' connections of english when Appearance of lexical similarity doesn't guarantee any etymological link
#just like it doesn't re: pronunciations out here & here's everyone w/the pact to lose their shit if someone says smthing they've only read
#hang on now i'm remembering & going what's up with the occasional christianity thee devil satyresque i.e. goat guy imagery huh
#doesn't seem to be a clear cut answer; Perchance that [goat guy] pagan association had Evil Guy association pushed uponst it
#not much Biblical ''seeing a goat guy: fucked up'' save hand wiggly [scapegoat] / sorting parables sheep are good guys boo goat sinners
#but even less Biblical ''there is a thee devil & oh boy you don't wanna get stuck in um eternal torture w/that guy'' so here we are
#circling way around let's think about akd the mysteries lucifer. let's think about whether they made out with the mysteries jesus or stuff
#but just the Them like ooh that one behind the scenes look at their walking through in costuming thank God (laugh track)
#posts brought to you by tangential offshoots of like 3 other posts i didn't make & [still not drawing!] but still learning fun facts
