Update

Hey guys! 

I'm very sorry for the lack of activity on this site. It's all my fault, obviously, due to some health problems and quite a few IRL stresses that have put me off the computer for such a long time. 

That being said, I don't think fyeahmythologies will continue. I'm very sorry. 

Maybe I will come back in a month/couple of months and resume but, for now, I have things to take care of in my life and I'm very sorry.

Tom Hardy as Ares.

the god who fights to feel alive, who knows that to fight is to be alive, the most alive, so alive it radiates like the sun and burns all who challenge it. the god on fire. the god who leaves fire in his wake, fire and ash and destruction.the god of battle cries and screams of horror, of courage and fear and the line between them.the god of war.

MYTHOLOGY MEME - [2/?] NORSE GODS/GODDESSES: FREYJA

"Hail to the Warrior Woman

on the equinox morning,

white-armored, choosing the slain

by her own glorious criteria,

harbor to the defenders of beauty.

O Freya who rides with Valkyries,

give me strength to defend all that I love

for I am dull and frightened with years of defeat

and I have forgotten the mystery of shield mates in love.”

Patience -

Forbearance and endurance through moderation. Resolving conflicts and injustice peacefully, as opposed to resorting to violence. Accepting the grace to forgive; to show mercy to sinners. Creating a sense of peaceful stability and community rather than suffering, hostility, and antagonism.

MYTHOLOGY MEME; (4/8) Legendary Creatures

MEDUSA (Greek: Μέδουσα; Médousa) In Greek mythology Medusa was a monster, a Gorgon, generally described as having the face of a hideous human female with living venomous snakes in place of hair. Gazing directly into her eyes would turn onlookers to stone. Most sources describe her as the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto. Medusa was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In a late version of the Medusa myth, related by the Roman poet Ovid (Metamorphoses 4.770), Medusa was originally a ravishingly beautiful maiden, “the jealous aspiration of many suitors,” but because Poseidon had raped her in Athena’s temple, the enraged Athena transformed Medusa’s beautiful hair to serpents and made her face so terrible to behold that the mere sight of it would turn onlookers to stone.

Sloth -

Sloth is defined as spiritual or emotional apathy, neglecting what God has spoken, and being physically and emotionally inactive. It can also be either an outright refusal or merely a carelessness in the performance of one’s obligations, especially spiritual, moral or legal obligations. Sloth can also indicate a wasting due to lack of use, concerning a person, place, thing, skill, or intangible ideal that would require maintenance, refinement, or support to continue to exist.

Greek Mythology: Thanatos the god of nonviolent death "For, alone of gods, Thanatos loves not gifts; no, not by sacrifice, nor by libation, canst thou aught avail with him; he hath no altar nor hath he hymn of praise; from him, alone of gods, Peitho stands aloof." - Aeschylus, Fragment 82 Niobe

[valyriea]

In traditional belief and fiction, a ghost is the soul or spirit of a dead person or animal that can appear, in visible form or other manifestation, to the living. Descriptions of the apparition of ghosts vary widely from an invisible presence to translucent or barely visible wispy shapes, to realistic, lifelike visions. The deliberate attempt to contact the spirit of a deceased person is known as necromancy, or in spiritism as a séance.
