Finally there are quite a few gods who are creatures of the sea for #FairyTaleTuesday.
#Poseidon/#Neptune -Greek sea god
#Thetis - Sea Nymph
#Oceanus - Sea Titan
#Aphrodite -Born of the sea https://t.co/EvcJp97u1R
#Njord -Norse sea god
#Aegir -Norse sea god 5/5
The #Kelpies from #CelticMythology are sea creatures in the shape of a gorgeous #horse. Children would sea the Kelpie and try and ride it, they would get stuck and the sea horse would run into the water and drown them. #FairyTaleTuesday 4/5
@WomenAncient @SchoolAncient @QHTA1 If so, Medea.She counts as a heroine as she sacrifices her original life to help Jason escape her evil father. She is only seen as evil because Aphrodite messed with her mind and then it snapped when Jason ruined her life. Jason and the gods are villains in her tale I would argue
I am trying to gather information on the infamous Helen of Troy. Does anyone know any interesting facts about the lethal beauty, queen of Sparta?

The goddess of strife, Eris, disrupted the wedding of Thetis by rolling in a golden 🍎 saying Te Kalliste/ for the fairest. 3 goddesses wanted it; #Hera offered power, #Athene offered wisdom and #Aphrodite offered love. Prince Paris had to choose who got it. Who would you pick?
#Nyx: #PrimordialDeity of the #night. She was the only #deity feared by #Zeus and lived in #Tartarus. Although she was feared, she was not the personification of evil in #Greek #Mythology. She and her husband #Erebus were the 2nd eldest beings in Greek Myth

Wow, the #Weather has been great recently, #Demeter must be really happy that #Persephone is back from the #Underworld or perhaps #Helios / #Apollo are just in a good mood these days 😁
