Those who dive from the top of the Rock of Leukade on the island of Leukos in Western Greece (today Lefkada) are, it is said, freed from their love.
After the death of Adonis it is said Aphrodite wandered around searching for the means to rid herself of her love.

Dionysos invited Apollo & Hermes to one of his orgies.
He looks only mildly interested in tickling the shepherd boy but Apollo seems very much into it 😁

Today, the people of ancient Athens honoured Poseidon and his demigod son Theseus.
#Theseus is most famous for defeating the #Minotaur and thus saving the Athenian youths sent to Crete as a sacrifice.

@DeviantArt But Zeus and Hera are not the only gods who got married. Their brother Poseidon had his eyes set on Amphitrite, eldest of the 50 nereid nymphs. But she fled his advances and hid herself away at the ends of the earth.
The dolphin-god Delphin eventually tracked Amphitrite down...

Tell the king the fair wrought house has fallen.
No shelter has Apollon, nor sacred laurel leaves.
The fountains are now silent; the voice is stilled.
It is finished.

A day will come when Phoibos shall return and stay forever.

As promised earlier, this is a thread about #Dionysos, one of my favourite gods. I recently saw claims that he was born of a virgin on 25 December. This is not true. While the date of his birth is uncertain, the ancient Greeks did usually celebrated the birthdays of their gods.

"Without Ceres and Bacchus, Venus freezes" by Andrea Boscoli (1560-1607)
The title is a quote from "Eunuchus" a Roman comedy by Terence (185-159 BCE):
"That saying, 'Without Ceres and Liber, Venus freezes' is absolutely true!"
