There you have it, my very unofficial (Neither the devs of Aetolia or the devs of FFXIV had a hand in making these slides, obviously) post on why you should try out Aetolia! Why comic sans? Legibility and memes. Check out this link if you want to learn more, it will take you to the game's site! A bunch of information about the game's lore is available on the website, but I'm also happy to answer questions in my DMs here or on Discord.

Aetolian League

The Aetolian League was an ancient Greek alliance of the tribes that lived west of Athens and north of the Peloponnese. The league was probably first established in the early 4th century BCE, reached its peak during the Hellenistic Period, and survived until the region was annexed by Rome at the end of the Fourth Macedonian War.

Sources & Origin

One of the earlier mentions of Aetolia is alongside Leda, who resided in these lands. She was the daughter of the mythological Aetolian king Thestius and the mother of Helen of Troy. Homer's Book 9 of the Iliad introduces Aetolia as the lands that were terrorized by the Calydonian Boar. The creature was sent by Artemis who was offended by the negligence of king Oeneus to pay his respects according to the tradition. Ultimately, the king sent his son, the Argonaut Meleager, son of Ares, accompanied by the Argonauts' leader Jason, the Dioskouroi, Theseus, and Atalanta. Later on, Diomedes traveled to Aetolia to return the throne to his grandfather Oeneus by imposing justice on his cousins who overthrew the king.

Today we celebrate the martyrdom of the Equal-to-the-Apostles Cosmas of Aetolia. Saint Cosmas was a monk on Mount Athos during the Turkish Occupation, and he burned with desire to preach the gospel among the people who had lost their zeal in Orthodoxy during the occupation. Receiving a blessing from his elder, Cosmas went through all of Greece and other parts of Asia Minor and Albania, preaching the gospel. Due to his great missionary work, the Turks loathed him and eventually had him publicly hanged. He is considered an ethnomartyr (one who dies for their country) and Equal to the Apostles for his great missionary work. Saint Cosmas also made many prophecies including the end of the occupation, the invention of airplanes, televisions and telephones. The troparion in this video is chanted by the nuns of the Holy Monastery of St. Cosmas in Ontario, Canada. May he intercede for us always + #saint #cosmas #aetolia #hieromartyr #ethnomartyr #equaltotheapostles #apostle #greece #albania #asiaminor #turkey #turks #turkishoccupation #ottoman #martyr #martyrdom #preach #gospel #prophesy #prophet #orthodox (at Kolkondas, Fier, Albania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS7QGeljwds/?utm_medium=tumblr
