Greek Mythology: Encyclopedia II - Cronus - In Greek mythology and early myths

In ancient Greek myths, Cronus envied the power of his father and the ruler of the universe, Uranus. Uranus drew the enmity of Cronus' mother, Gaia, when he hid the gigantic youngest children of Gaia, the hundred-armed Hecatonchires and one-eyed Cyclopes, in Tartarus, so that they would not see the light. Gaia created a great sickle and gathered together Cronus and his brothers to ask them to kill Uranus. Only Cronus was willing to do the deed, so Gaia gave him the sickle and placed him in ambush. When Uranus met with Gaia to Cronus attacked ...

Greek Mythology: Encyclopedia II - Helen - Helen in Greek mythology

Helen - Birth. According to later Greek mythology, Leda bore Helen and Polydeuces, children of Zeus while at the same time bearing Castor and Clytemnestra, children of her husband Tyndareus, the King of Sparta. As the story goes, Zeus took the form of a swan and had sexual relations with Leda on the same night as her husband, King Tyndareus. To Zeus, she gave birth to Helen and Polydeuces, and to Tyndareus: Clytemnestra and Castor. In some versions, she laid two eggs from which the children hatched. In other versions, Helen is a daughter of Nemesis, the goddess who personified the disaster that ...

Greek Mythology: Encyclopedia II - Rainbows in mythology - Australian aboriginal mythology

In Aboriginal (Australian) mythology, the rainbow snake is the Creator (Kurreah, Andrenjinyi, Yingarna, Ngalyod et. al.) in the Dreaming, which is the infinite period of time that "began with the world’s creation and that has no end. People, animals, and Eternal Beings like the Rainbow Serpent are all part of the Dreaming, and everyday life is affected by the Dreaming’s immortals," in almost every Australian Aborigine tribe. In these tribes (there are over 50), actual rainbows are gigantic, often malevolent, serpents who inhabit the sky or ground. This snake has different names in differe ...

Greek Mythology: Encyclopedia II - Rainbows in mythology - Ancient beliefs

Whatever the culture or continent, our species' earliest rainbow is the rainbow of the imagination. Whether as bridge, messenger, archer’s bow, or serpent, the rainbow has been pressed into symbolic service for millennia. The myriad rainbow bridges and myths built by the world’s peoples clearly tell us more about human hopes and fears than they do about nature’s rainbow. In Constantino Brumidi’s oil on canvas Apotheosis of George Washington, 1866 "America’s founding father wears a [calm] expression… as he is propelled heav ...

Greek Mythology: Encyclopedia II - Rainbows in mythology - Biblical rainbows

According to the Biblical account, after Noah saved the animals from the Great Flood, a rainbow appeared. As the flood had killed all other living beings, the rainbow came to symbolize God's promise that he would never again destroy all life. Medieval versions of the story of Noah's Ark merges the celestial and earthly bows, and further turns the rainbow around to its existing arch. The existing rainbow is a weapon God turned towards himse ...

Greek Mythology: Encyclopedia II - Rainbows in mythology - Sumerian mythology

Not all peoples have regarded the rainbow’s power as solely benevolent. A rather ambiguous perception of the rainbow strikes a vein in all world culture, through its entire storied past. The Epic of Gilgamesh, who was an ancient Sumerian king (ca.2000 BC), is our first detailed written evidence of human civilization. In a Victorian translation of a Gilgamesh variant, Leonidas Le Cenci Hamilton's Epic of Ishtar and Izdubar, King Izdubar sees "a mass of colors like the rainbow’s hues" that are "linked to divine sanction for war." Later in the epic, Izdubar sees the "glistening colors of the rainbow rise" i ...

Greek Mythology: Encyclopedia II - Gaia mythology - Gaia in Neopaganism

Many modern Neopagans, particularly Hellenistic Neopagan sects in the United States, actively worship Gaia. Beliefs regarding Gaia vary, ranging from the common Wiccan belief that Gaia is the Earth (or in some cases the spiritual embodiment of the earth, or the Goddess of the Earth), to the broader Neopagan belief that Gaia is the goddess of all creation, a Mother Goddess from which all other gods spring. Gaia is sometimes thought to embody the planets and the Earth, and sometimes thought to embody the entire universe. Worship of Gaia ...

Some sources, such as authors Marijas Gimbutas and Barbara Walker, claim that Gaia as the Mother Earth is a later form of a pre-Indo-European Great Mother who had been venerated in Neolithic times, but this point is controversial in the academic community. Belief in a nurturing Earth Mother is a feature of modern Neopagan "Goddess" worship, which is typically linked by practitioners of this religion to the Neolithic goddess theo ...

Greek Mythology: Encyclopedia II - Ancient Greek religion - Worship

The most widespread public act of worship in ancient Greece was sacrifice, whether of grain or the blood sacrifice of animals. The temples of the Greek religion generally were not public gathering places where people gathered socially for collective indoor prayer; most temples held little more than a cult idol of the deity and the accumulated votive gifts, which might amount to a treasury. When we are told in studies of mythology that "horses are sacred to Poseidon" or roosters to Hermes, what this meant first and foremost was that these ani ...

Some scholars of the past century or so, most eloquently Jane Ellen Harrison, have argued that an initiatory or shamanic ritual underlies the myth of Dionysus's dismemberment and cannibalism by the Titans. Out of confusion with the Gigantes, various large things have been named after the Titans, for example the RMS Titanic. ...

Greek Mythology: Encyclopedia II - Eros mythology - Conceptions of Eros

Throughout Greek thought, there appear to be two sides to the conception of Eros; in the first, he is a primeval deity who embodies not only the force of erotic love but also the creative urge of ever-flowing nature, the first-born Light that is responsible for the coming into being and ordering of all things in the cosmos. In Hesiod's Theogony, the most famous Greek creation myth, Eros sprang forth from the primordial Chaos together with Gaia, the Earth, and Tartarus, the underworld; according to Aristophanes' play The Birds, he burg ...
