Athanatos post, Props edition: Those Techno Wings 😍 It's sad that I didn't took much pictures while I was crafting those acrylic wings. It was quite the adventure. It's been a while since I've had one of those crazy project idea... The Techno Wings are made with several pieces of cut acrylic sheet, that were hand carved and pierced in order to tie them together (using old earbuds wires) in this shape. I got a wireless LED ribbon to put around the outer shape of the wing and covered it with thin sheets of foam that were painted and decorated. The whole structure ended up a lot heavier than anticipated to Athanatos could not wear it as a backpack like I planned it. It had to be supported by a doll stand for the photoshoots 😂 This Prop is one of the best pieces I made, with the LED chandelier and my Victorian padded chair =^.^= Doll model: Enoch Origin: @doll-granado Resin colour: Syringa EDIT :  Hey, it looks like I DID took several pictures of the techno wings while I was crafting them, but they were directly taken for Instagram, so they were never saved on my PC. 😭 I guess if you're interested in the Wings' Tale, you'll have to scroll back in my posts until you reach April 2019. ⌛ =^.^=

Epithets: Athanatos

Immortal, of Immortal Fame. Perpetual. Everlasting. Literally, Without Death. Deathless

Beginning and end are you, and you alone rule all. For all things are from you, and in you do all things, Eternal One, come to their end. - Betz, lines 2836-2839 of PGM IV 2785-2890.

Much of what I can say of the perpetuity of the Gods has already been covered in the entry on Aionos. Indeed, functionally, aionos (eternal), apaustos (never-ending), and athanatos (perpetual) are of the same connotative meaning.

By their very nature are the Gods deathless. It is, from a Hellenic frame of mind, the quintessential difference between the divine and the mortal worlds. All Gods are Athanatoi. As such we can refer to every deity, and all the Titans, by this epithet.

Socrates spoke at length about the concept of immortality as it pertains to the soul, with the assumption that it is immortal in nature. Indeed, his description of the soul as told to us by Plato, ‘soul is most similar to what is divine, immortal, intelligible, uniform, indissoluble, unvarying, and constant in relation to itself; whereas body, in its turn, is most similar to what is human, mortal, multiform, non-intelligible, dissoluble, and never constant in relation to itself.’ (Plato, Phaedo, p.31). He later adds, ‘given that the immortal is also indestructible, wouldn’t soul, if it proves to be immortal, be imperishable as well?’… ‘Then when death attacks a person, the mortal part, it seems, dies; whereas the immortal part gets out of the way of death, departs, and goes away intact and undestroyed.’ The Phaedo establishes a dichotomy of body and soul that heavily contributed to the denigration of the physical realm and the body, which influenced much of the later philosophies and ideas of asceticism in both the Pagan and Christian worlds.

A grave in Phrygia mentions a priest who bore the name Athanatos, whose son also grew up to be a priest honoring Zeus, Hekate and Apollon.

Hekate Athanatos,  Your grace spans all realms,  You are the Source,  And the Soul of All.  From you we descend,  And unto you we return.  And our gratitude is poured upon the wide Earth.
