@juergen_hubert I don't quite understand... why was the castle buried and chained? Was the milkmaid actually Sarah? Since the men never found the castle, is it still there? We need a sequel! #Mythodon #MythologyMonday

A few days ago I stated that #Artemis and #Persephone were my favorite goddesses.
That's only partly correct, they're my favorite Greek ones.
My favorite God of all time is #Ishtar

"He [Ares] took her hand and spoke thus to her: 'Come, my darling; let us go to bed and take our delight together.'"
