mythos compendium, May 26, 2026

#compendium progress #compendium #been working a lot more of editing and buffing up existing pages #so everything is a bit more tightened up and roman mythology is starting to coalesce with itself properly now #japanese myth is still pretty awkwardly split but im planning to develop that next #also shoutout to ashley for taking on the gargantuan task of helping me edit these things #AND in making me sit my ass down once a week and focus on a only one or two gods rather than bouncing around at random

#compendium progress #compendium #lots of cleaning up existing pages this month so perhaps less new pages to show #BUT there has been expansion on the chinese japanese vedic AND celtic sections #and a bit of trimming down the egyptian section but we'll see how long that sticks #mostly been working on the cross cultural tropes pages #hard to tell without comparison but everything is a liiiittle bit more drawn to the centre/brown dots as a result #i have an editor now and shes been an incredible help in synthesizing my thoughts when i struggle lmao #shoutout to ashley

It's always "Hades isn't bad or cruel, his deeds are just metaphors of the inevitable death" or "Hades kidnapping Persephone represent the premature death".

But when the argument "Zeus has numerous affairs and many children because he represent the fertile rain" is brought up, all nuance is suddenly out of the window and Zeus is just a womanizer who can't keep it in his pants.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

When people don't make the effort to get out of the mythical literalism mindset and start judging deities and their worshipers based on stories from the past that were never meant to be literal and were completely meant to be metaphorical drives me insane.

Like, stories from the past from past civilizations with very different morals, lifestyles, and survival tactics than us are going to have themes and metaphors that make us highly uncomfortable today, and being uncomfortable is valid, I am pretty sure we've all been there especially if we converted to paganism later in our lives.

What's not valid is when people repeatedly choose ignorance and repeatedly choose to have a lack of reading comprehension and repeatedly choose to cherry pick which gods and practitioners they can respect and which ones they can disrespect.
