Cheryl MorganGood morning from #RAI_69 where we are beginning a series of papers on mythology and I have discovered that I am a practitioner of Hylistics.
The current paper is outlining correspondences between Hittite and Greek mythology. This is of interest because, although the Trojans were Hittites and the Greeks (obviously) Greek, Homer’s assumption that they worshipped the same gods is not as odd as it first seems. #RAI_69
This, of course, will be familiar to anyone who has read Maya Deane’s Wrath Goddess Sing #RAI_69
Stephen Cox AuthorI had someone tell me of for having Anglo Saxons worshipping Norse gods. Fair point? Uh, they did.
@stephenwhq sounds like you’ve been mansplained
It was a very mansplainy sort of man, come to think of it. I am a recovering mansplainer myself.
I remember the Published Author who told me my world building was crap because "no society has both slaves and servants". I have yet to find a society with the concept "slave" which does not also have the concept "servant who is not a slave." Although many societies have neither.
@stephenwhq yeah, that sort of misplaced confidence is sadly common
