#mythologymonday

17 posts9 participants0 posts today

This week's #MythologyMonday theme is time. The personification of time in #GreekMythology is Chronos (Χρονος), not to be confused with Kronos (Κρονος), the dad of Zeus and his siblings. The conflation of the two occurred in antiquity but became more widespread during the Renaissance, which is why Father Time wields the harvesting scythe of Kronos in modern iconography. In Orphism he is a two-sexed deity born from Hydros (water) and Gaia (earth).

#MythologyMonday: Nera went back from the elven mound of Crúachan to the royal hall of Connacht and successfully warned King Ailill and Queen Medb. The fact that he was able to produce summer herbs in winter not only proved the truth of his words, but also that he had travelled back in time. Incidentally, Nera went back to his lover in the Sidhe.` #Celtic

The affair between the Dagda and the river goddess Boann results in pregnancy, so to hide it, the Dagda holds the sun in place for nine months, so Boann's husband Elcmir will only think a day has passed and not realize an affair has occurred. #MythologyMonday
