In the last winter of the Before Times, I told a cheerful winter story about a hundred years of scholars repeating what a German professor told them not what any ancient source actually says https://www.bookandsword.com/2019/12/21/herodotus-meyer/ #histodons #antiquidons #ancMedToot

Have a courageous Day of Ares aka Mars' Day aka #Tyrsday 🗡️

"You must know victory-runes
if you want to know victory. Carve them
into your sword's hilt, on the blade guards
and the blades, invoking Tyr's name twice."
Poetic Edda, Sigrdrífumál

What if we take Bret Devereaux's argument about the Roman Republic engineering Italy and run with it? There was no typical polis in ancient Greece https://www.bookandsword.com/2026/01/11/there-was-no-typical-polis/ #histodons #antiquidons #ancMedToot

Erotic Mythology 💘Jan 10

Have a joyful #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇

Is there a Norse god who fills a similar role to Dionysos?
The Norse did not have theatre nor wine. There is no god of mead or beer as far as I know. There is no god or goddess of festivities I think but I'm happy to be proven wrong!
