Mother goddess

For the fifth time this week – yes you heard that correctly, fifth time this week, Lilith Vita found herself sitting in her professors office, bloodied, and most likely with multiple small injuries. It was the fifth time this week, and apparently it was 'getting out of hand'. . .To be honest Lilith Vita was quite tired of being called in here and having her precious time wasted. The fifteen year old Theurgist was at her limits with all of this. Not that It was her fault. . . She sat in one of…

Today I am going to learn how the Roman gods and goddess came about and how many there are. So again, I think about going to ancient Rome and feel myself begin spinning faster and faster. Until I stop and feel that familiar pain in my gut. When I open my eyes, I see I am again on the suburb of a city, but…

female character being held back from something she cares about by a jealous, older woman, ousted from her rightful position of power in a family, and completing impossible tasks with help from others. In the story “Cupid and Psyche”, Cupid’s jealous mother, Venus, holds Psyche back from her love, Cupid. When Psyche comes to Venus searching for Cupid, Venus laughs at her and tells her that she will “never be able to get you [Psyche] a lover except by the most diligent and painful service”…

century C.E. and is currently on exhibit at Museum of Fine Arts Houston. Venus is a three-dimensional marble, free-standing sculpture of the Roman Goddess. Her torso is nude and there is a piece of drapery tied around her waist, concealing the lower half of her body. Due to prior damage, the sculpture is currently missing both of her arms and head.

conspired with her son Cronus to depose Ouranos (Uranus) from his rule for his imprisoning of the Titan children, Cronus castrated his father and cast aside his genitals into the sea. From the sea a white foam arose and from the foam came Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty. She has a second myth regarding her creation that pits Zeus as her father alongside Dione and this would make all of Zeus' many children her sisters and brothers meaning she has a rather large family tree as Zeus had up to 92…

established in Greece; whereupon her Roman counterpart existed as Diana. Controversially, there exists a debate over which goddess, Artemis or Diana, deserves the earliest recognition, but reportedly Artemis maintains as the earliest goddess. Diana’s status within ancient society became elevated due to her association as being highly sought out for temple prostitution. The goddess known as Artemis/Diana acquired her Ephesians form in 7000 B.C; in addition, the her temple there existed in its…

“No need to test me Goddess, I remember. You killed nineteen of my people and one giant.” “That's only twenty.” “You told me the giant counts for three, that makes twenty-two. See Goddess, I haven't forgotten, I remember every detail of my encounter with your divine vengeance.” Jayna said nothing at first, she was lost in thought. Had she really killed…

satisfy his own amor, but strongly rejects Juno’s amor. By drawing these mappings, Ovid may have defined how amor and ira typically function, but he constrains his audience’s mental framework to the point that they do not consider the fact that a goddess like Juno would exhibit amor.

The second Goddess story I felt inspired to discuss is that of Inanna. Inanna is the Sumerian Goddess of love, fertility and war and Queen of Heaven. She is presented as a dynamic and powerful Goddess. Like many Gods and Goddesses, there are a variety of stories surrounding her origins and existence. She was said to have driven a lion drawn chariot and participated in battle yet was also a sensual, passionate Goddess. Inanna was revered in Sumer, a region in Mesopotamia which is now modern day…

smart as Athena, the goddess of wisdom. If anyone had a problem, they would go the Charlotte.
