question of the day friday march 10th

[strider rose]

todays question is about mythology : if you could be a god/ goddess who would you like to be ?
i would be Freya from norse mythology ( she was a cat protection goddess)

 

[neely]

Elpis because she is the Goddess of Hope.

I'm not sure. I guess I've never studied mythology enough to know. I mean 4 years of Latin should give you enough; but I guess I didn't focus on it as much as the parts I was interested in.

Doing some quick Wikipedia research, I'll go with Metis, goddess of good counsel, advice, planning, cunning, craftiness and wisdom.

I guess Persephone, since she is literally who I'm named after So might as well go for it! Might be an interesting and powerful life, despite the little kidnappy part.

…this was a toughie, had to really research this one! My problem was it seems to me that humans have more than enough power, so felt uneasy being a goddess. Maybe something like Aranyani, who seems to be a protector of the forest. Not sure what I’d do with all those ankle bells, green veils and six arms, though.

 

[Neko-chan's mama]

Probably Hestia, the Greek goddess of the hearth.

I'm not really studied up on my Greek goddesses, but maybe Athena.

 

[strider rose]

you all really surprised me with your answers there lol but i thought this would be a good question to post

I used to be very fascinated with the myths when I was younger, but have forgotten most of that. So I went searching (it was fun).

Maybe Flidais, Celtic goddess, protector of wild animals and cattle.

Or Lauma (Eastern Baltic mythology), woodland fae, goddess/spirit of trees, marsh and forest.

 

[aliceneko]

I'd like to be Eostre, the Irish Celtic Goddess of spring.

 

[mani]

Saraswati. Goddess of Music and Learning. She also has her very own swan.
