Today, it's the 4th day of the 4th month in the #ancientGreek calendar and that means it's the birthday of #Hermes 🥳
His mother Maia is said to have given birth to him underneath a strawberry tree which is why it is sacred to Hermes as well as the number 4.

This week's #FolkloreThursday theme is the folklore of seas and water. The obvious thing would be to tell you something about #Poseidon, but I'll give the honour to his wife Amphitrite instead.
But I will mention his male lovers Pelops and Nerites in honour of #PrideMonth
There are various types of nymphs: Naiades (of the fresh-water), Oreiades (of the mountains), Dryads (of trees), Meliai (of ash-trees), Okeanides (of rivers, springs, and clouds), Nereides (of the sea) and the Lampades (of the underworld) among many others.

Hekate is the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy. You may know her name from William Shakespeare's MacBeth, where the three witches invoke her.
