In the Authorized Version of Isa. Xiii. 25, xxxiv. 14 the word "satyr" is used to render the Hebrew sh'lrlm, "hairy ones." A kind of demon or supernatural being known to Hebrew folk-lore as inhabiting waste places is meant; a practice of sacrificing to the sh'irlm is alluded to in Lev. xvii. ~ hii where E. V. has "devils." They correspond to the "shaggy demon of the mountain-pass" (azabb al-akaba) of old Arab legend. Christian mythology demonized all pagan nature spirits such as satyrs by associating them with demons and devils ...

Modern Neopagans have a rather New Age view of Cronus. In particular, Hellenistic Neopagan sects in the United States hold many metaphoric interpretations of the myths regarding Cronus. Sometimes called the "All Consumer", in many ways Cronus is similar to Christian myths regarding Satan, though the similarity of the Roman name "Saturn" is a coincidence. In accordance with the Greek mythological traditions, Cronus is believed by many to be a cruel and malevolent god ...

Roman satyrs were conflated in the popular and poetic imagination with Latin spirits of woodland and with the rustic spirit Pan, called the Panes. Roman satyrs were descibed as goatlike from the haunches to the hooves, and were often pictured with larger horns, even ram's horns. Roman poets often conflated them with the Fauns. Roman satire (q.v.) is a literary form, a poetic essay that was a vehicle for biting, subversive social and personal criticism. Though Roman satire is sometimes thoughtlessly linked to the G ...

While the Greeks considered Cronus a force of chaos and disorder, believing that the Olympian gods had brought an era of peace and order by seizing power from the crude and malicious Titans, the Romans had a more positive view of the deity. Although the Roman deity Saturn was conflated heavily with Cronus, the Romans favored Saturn much more than the Greeks did Cronus. While Cronus was considered a cruel and tempestuous deity to the Greeks, his nature under Roman influence became more innocuous, with his association with the Golden Age event ...

Eris has been adopted as the matron deity of the modern Discordian religion. In the process, however, she has lightened up considerably in comparison to the rather malevolent Graeco-Roman original. A quote from the Principia Discordia, the holy book of the Discordian religion, attempts to clear this up: One day Mal-2 consulted his Pineal Gland and asked Eris if She really created all of those terrible things. She told him that She had always liked the Old Greeks, but that they cannot be trusted with historic matters. "They were," She added, ...

Vesta was introduced in Rome by King Numa Pompilius. She was a native Roman deity (some authors suggest received from the Sabine cults), sister of Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera and Demeter, and presumably the daughter of Saturn and Ops (or Rea). However, the similarity with the cult of Greek Hestia is notable. Vesta too protected familial harmony and the res publica. Apollo and Neptune had asked for her in marriage, but she refused both, preferring to preserve her virginity, whose symbol was the perpetually lit fire in her circular fane next to the Forum which the Romans always distinguished ...

Over the course of the series, several dominant System Lords have risen: Sokar, Apophis, Anubis, and Ba'al to name the greater of them. All System Lords use ground troops called Jaffa as both warriors and symbiotes for young Goa'uld larvae. They pose as Gods even to their own troops, who thus have ultimate loyalty. Teal'c was among the first to question the deific state of his Lord, and subsequently rebelled, beginning a string of rebellions that grew from a small contingen ...

R.D. Barnett suggests in "Ancient Oriental Influences on Archaic Greece" — an essay in The Aegean and the Near East, Saul S. Weinberg, ed. (Locust Valley, N.Y.,1956) — that the Harpies were originally adapted from the ornaments on bronze caldrons from Urartu: These made such an impression in Greece that they seem to have given rise to the siren type in archaic Greek art, and as they appeared to flutter at the rim of such noble cooking vessels, apparently gave rise to the familiar Greek legend of Phineus and the Harpie ...

Archaic Roman "mythology", at least concerning the gods, was made up not of narratives, but rather of complex interrelations between gods and humans. The gods were not personified, unlike in Greek mythology. Romans also believed that every person, place or thing had their own genius (such as "Lares Familiares" - the family guardian spirits). Therefore, the early Roman cult could be described as polydaemonism just as well as polytheism. The Romans distinguished two classes of gods, the di indigetes and the de novenside ...
