Welcome to Winter! The Daily Chit-Chat

[Mew~]

/I know nothing of Greek Mythology. I didn't even watch Percy Jackson.

I like Unicorns though. n' Griffins. :)

 

[Kevin]

I love Greek mythology. Anyone else read The Son of Neptune? ...Anyone?

And yeah Typhon isn't really a Titan, but is in the same generation as them. He is the last son of Gaea. He's the most deadliest monster the Olympians are afraid of (he isn't even dead; they couldn't kill him).

 

[Esper]

I love me some Greek mythology. Sometimes I'll pick up my copy of Ovid's Metamorphoses, which in my view is the most interesting stuff because it deals with monsters 'n stuff, and read one of the stories.

 

[Impo]

I find the whole concept of Greek Mythology exciting, but the most I've learned about it was watching Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.

I do know there was the big Zeus with lightning bolts he threw, and Medusa with scary hair, and Hades as the one who rules hell, and Posideon as the water one, and Wonder Woman is the strong fast female.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

Not having read/seen anything to do with Percy Jackson, my Greek mythology knowledge feels woefully inadequate to some of the posters here.

My brother has read The Iliad and The Odyssey and I keep telling myself I should... but I pick one of them up and take a look and put it back down and never look at it for a few months, whereupon the cycle repeats itself. I'd like to know more, but just taking that first step is the hardest thing.

 

[DarkAlucard]

I learn a little about Greek Mythology with Saint Seiya XD

 

[Her]

Oh Greek mythology <3
What I love about Greek mythology is that the people who worshiped the gods weren't afraid to admit that their deities were drunken arse's half the time, yet put full faith into them.

Someone is trying to subconsciously keep the trolling subject going. (It's Poseidon, Posideon is a greek a village I know that is famous for its srpings-was surprised you might mean that for a second)

I haven't watched Percy Jackson or whoever that is but I've watched that Battle of the Titans remake movie and well.. I was disappointed.

Not only that, they were all like "yeah the gods are selfish and vindictive and most of the time even worse than humans but they're still gods so we worship them so they don't smite us!"

So realistic.

Well, until Disney came along and changed that whole idea.

Battle of the Titans was also disappointed imo.
Just wasn't what I expected.

Harlequin, the gif was just perfect. Thought you'd like to know xD

All evil then suddenly they look like they're handing out pixie dust :o

more like on pixie dust :P

 

[Alley Cat]

My friend had to learn the hard way that pixie sticks don't have pixie dust. I don't get why he would snort pixie sticks... but he did. >.<

 

[A Pixy]

Well, until Disney came along and changed that whole idea.

Still the best interpretation of god I've ever seen in fiction.

 

[Guillermo]

So we're basically talking about the same Typhon. He's actually a titan, you know. And agreed about the food. ;D

Hahaha dat blue car...I still wonder if it shot gunpowder or explosive contacts.

Speaking of RTSes... my second favorite line is 'Total War'. Anyone played it or heard of it?

He is a titan but he's actually considered a creature because he wasn't around in the war between the Gods and the Titans, and all of his kids were monsters as well, not titans.

Not only that, they were all like "yeah the gods are selfish and vindictive and most of the time even worse than humans but they're still gods so we worship them so they don't smite us!"

So realistic.

If you were to put it in a realistic sense, it'd be like us as humans not so much worshipping, but respecting and following people like the Queen and the President. It's also why we have so much respect for music sensations and sport stars, because they can do things we can't and society places them above us, and not many people would go badmouthing the Queen or Barack Obama, at least not to their face just because of who they are and what they're capable of.

If I lived back in those days I for sure wouldn't badmouth someone that could hurl lightning bolts out their ass.

 

[Livewire]

Well, until Disney came along and changed that whole idea.

That is still one of the best movies ever.

 

[Guillermo]

That is still one of the best movies ever.

if i remember correctly i think bambi made my childhood.

 

[Impo]

Rugrats was my childhood.

Now I watch the beginning and laugh... heheh

 

[Legendary Silke]

I find it difficult to define my childhood. Hmm... I don't know... aside from you-know-what. (Hint: where are we?)
