If you were living in ancient Greece which deities would you pay homage to?

Uranus
The divine personification of the sjy, whose main function in myth was to be the progenitor of a large number of children at the beginning of creation. Born of Gaia, without a mate, he went on to mate with his mother, and she bore the Titans. Ummm... you don't want to know what else happened to him!

What else happened to him, Waverly's sock monkey get him???

@Kramor

Actually, one of his sons (Cronos) hacked off his genitals

@All-Hiya

Back to the topic: I wouldn't worship any god since I don't really know any of them (aside from the main ones

)

Hmm...Aphrodite came from Uranus/Cronos' genitals?

Helios and Apollo are more familiar sky Gods to me. Uranus must not have made much of a name for himself around here. I will have to seek him out. Thanks for showing me the light, Brink and KramoR

@Georgi, Thanks.

Ouch.

@Hekate, You are welcome. Hi and welcome to the sym.

Welcome.

@KramoR: Hello. Have you met Ubik yet? He's DP's SYM dad.

Born of Gaia, without a mate, he went on to mate with his mother, and she bore the Titans. Subsequently captured by a sock monkey, he was enslaved by Waverly, forced to wear a studded collar, and now goes by the nickname, "Sweetcakes."

He was right. It wasn't very pleasant.

Don't confront your mother, please.

Ubik is... well, Ubik. You should ask about him to DP, or someone like Gruntboy, Waverly or Weasel. Hehe.

Ubik is one of the best uncles of SYM

I did read all the guns and cookies thread. Um, I don't really want to be near any of them.

You are being devious today.

If I can get the lads together in the same place long enough, perhaps we should have a reunion tour.

I don't think, that there is enough money in the world. To pay for the damages, after the tour.

Devious? Me?

Now now Waverly, there's no need for threats like that...

@KramoR-That's true

Wow, this thread has been graced by the presence of two deities, namely Hekate & Minerva.

Re: Uranus or Ouranos (Gk. for "heaven" or "sky")
Anybody care to share some comparisons to Uranus from other pantheons? The older story of Aphrodite springing from the severed genitals of Uranus is far more than just a silly variation on the continuity of Greek mythology. Good theosophical stuff.

Hello, hermetic and Georgi.

KramoR, do you think guns will work on them?

You have no time for shooting against them. By the time you reach your gun, you'll be stunned by what you see and hear...
