Hen IS Hades 🏛🏺😳😳
Lykhaeon - Ominous Eradication of Anguished Souls (2018)
"The return of Persephone to Demeter"
One of the most beautiful (and rarest) of Royal Doulton figurines. Dating from 1913, it's possible that only 5 were ever made. Current selling price ? $26,0000 😲
I apologize for not being able to spell things accurately at the moment as I don't have the books near me but I have a question. You call the gods by full names from time to time. Like Peresephone Praxidike and Hades Aidoneus *insert the word that begins with CH that I can neither spell nor pronounce*. My question is: were those names creative liberties or are they historical and, if they are, where are they found?
The names were a mix of creative license and historical knowledge. They were epithets for the gods, most of them largely featured in the Homeric and Orphic hymns.
Aidoneus was used in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter because the poem was written in iambic hexameter, and the flow of Aidoneus was easier to alliterate than Aides (Hades). And I just like it better as a name. So I mashed them together to come up with Hades Aidoneus Chthonios Polydegmon, which, if you translate them out from epithets literally means “The Unseen Lord of the Earth Below Who Receives Many”
For Persephone, I wanted to give her name two middle epithets. One to represent who is is above (Karpophoros) and one to represent who she is below (Praxidike).
Chthonios is an epithet for whoever lives in the Underworld. In my telling, you get that as your surname once you consume anything there.
Hope this helped.
Would you rather offend a living person or a spirit of a dead one?
The living. I have found it is much easier to receive forgiveness from the living than from the dead, and the latter can make one much more miserable, if one has any contact with them.
Can you bring back the dead?
No.
Assumption: You have never actually sent your own spirit to the underworld.
That is correct. I have, fortunately, never had reason to.
