This feeling never gets old 🥰 My new book is out in the world today! The Mute Goddess: Forgotten Greek and Roman Myths. And yes, it has that new book smell!

I am very excited, and very nervous. I put my heart and soul into researching these myths. Maybe because I am an archaeologist, but this one makes me more nervous about what people will think than any of my previous books 😬

Also while on the topic of dogs:

My family has running folklore that you get your personality from your first childhood dog. 😄 I was born alongside a litter of puli puppies so I am a fast learner and super high strung 😅

(I imagine this applies to other pets too?)

#MythologyMonday and Dogs:

Not a myth, but kinda Bible-related? There is a Hungarian legend that says the first puli dog was created by Jesus Christ to help out a kind shepherd who could never successfully corral his sheep.

Jesus clearly had a knack for fancy design, making these adorable barking mops.

Aww I love this #MythologyMonday theme (esp. since I was just with *both* my #Sisters IRL last weekend!)

Shout out to the 7 Sisters known as the #Pleaides who live now as stars in the night sky b/c #Orion is the WORRRSST!

We did an episode about the #astronomy & #myth of this #asterism earlier this season :_stars:

#JejuIsland has a tradition of eight snake gods, who are a mother and seven sisters from the seven stars (Chilseong) of the Big Dipper in the North, in charge of riches and prosperity. These are their domains:

Daughter 1: Harvest grandmother (= goddess)
Daughter 2: Administration and criminal law enforcement
Daughter 3: Keeper of prisons
Daughter 4: Orchard grandmother
Daughter 5: Keeper of storehouses
Daughter 6: Government office grandmother
Daughter 7: Outer chilseong of the fields
Mother: Inner chilseong of the house

Today's #MythologyMonday theme is Sisters.

As it happens I just finished reading the Bengali epic of Manasa, the Snake Goddess. She is an accidental daughter of Shiva. She spends the entire epic trying to gain recognition among the gods, and then among mortals.

She is supported all the way by her sister Neta, who is the perfect balance of intelligence and calculation to Manasa's flares of fury and power. They made a great duo 🐍

Favorite #queer stories from Greek mythology for #MythologyMonday

4.
Dionysos and Ampelos

I think this is the most beautiful (even if tragic) love story in Greek mythology. Nonnus tells it in detail. The young Satyr Ampelos is Dionysos' first love. When he dies in an accident, Dionysos gireves for him so deeply that he is allowed to turn into the fist vine instead of going to the Underworld. They stay together, and Ampelos makes Dionysos who he is - god of wine and life.

3.
When Apollo takes revenge for the death of his son Asclepius, he is exiled to serve a mortal man for a year. He serves King Admetos, and falls in love with him. After his year of service he helps Admetos win his wife Alkestis - another great Greek love story.

My point is, this is probably the only story of unrequited love about Apollo where he unselfishly helps his beloved, instead of assault or revenge.

2.
Eurybarus and the Lamia

This is a classic "dashing hero saves sacrificial virgin from dragon" type story, except gay.
When Delphi is threatened by a Lamia, the locals decide to sacrifice a young man named Alcyoneus to the monster. However, a hero named Eurybaros happens to pass by, sees the youth, and falls in love with him. He takes his place, kills the monster, saves the city. Happy end.

1.

Kyknos is a vain and curel prince who likes to set impossible tasks for his lovers. Eventually everyone leaves him except for Phylius. He's a bit of a himbo, good-natured and naive. He fulfills all the impossible quests with the help of the deified Herakles.

Eventually Herakles sends him a message saying he deserves better, and Phylius leaves Kyknos for good.

Yay for getting out of toxic relationships :D

Today's #MythologyMonday is celebrating #InternationalMuseumDay with talk about mythological art in museums :)

One of my favorite museums in the world is the Villa Giulia in Rome. It houses the National Etruscan Museum. It falls outside most quick tour routes, and it is a lovely, peaceful, elegant museum with a very rich collection.

See the pretty vases below, with various mythological scenes :) Recongize them?

Today's #MythologyMonday theme is metalworking. Coincidentally I was digging into the myth of Hephaestos, and came up with some tidbits.

When Zeus threw Hephaestos off Olympos (to punish him for trying to shield Hera from his wrath), the blacksmith god landed on the island of Lemnos and broke his leg.

The fun bit is, apparently the island was inhabited by fearsome pirates. They nursed Hephaestos back to health and gave him a home.

I want "Hephaestos and the pirates" to be a thing 😄

Today in underappreciated mythology:

I'm digging into the story of Euthymus, a legendary (but real) Olympian boxing champion from the 5th century BCE. The story says that he defeated a ghost-zombie-werewolf monster in a boxing duel.

The monster was the ghost of one of Odysseus' sailors who violated a maiden in Italia and was stoned to death for it. His vengeful revenant kept demanding a tribute of virgins - until Euthymus showed up and banished him
