Happy #fathersday --- but *only* if you're a better dad than Kronos, which, I guess, means Zeus qualifies... 🤔

Meme showing an animated man with glasses looking at a butterfly with his hand up. The man is labeled 'Kronos." The butterfly is labeled "his children." At the bottom of the pictures is the text: "Is this lunch?"

In #GreekMythology lots of folks are familiar with Poseidon — but he’s not the only #ocean / #sea deity! There is also Pontus—The Sea—and his son, Nereus—The Old Man of the Sea. And who could forget the 50 sea nymphs called the Nereids (who may or may not be more beautiful than #cassiopeia)?!

Photograph of the Nereid Monument that is in the British Museum. The structure has a traditional Ancient Greek style with a triangular roof and columns. Three carved figures are between the front four columns Below them is a fresco with figures carved across it.

In #GreekMythology the personification of #sleep is called Hypnos 💤

He is the son of Nyx (Night) and Erebus (Darkness). And his twin brother? Thanatos -- Death. Quite the family!

A black and white photograph of an sculpture with the text "Hypnos or Sleep" below. The sculpture is a torso of a young male figure with a downward gaze. The right side of head features a large, wing-like projection. Both arms of the sculpture are broken off, and the surface shows weathering and erosion. The caption at the bottom reads “Hypnos or Sleep (867)."

The concept of dark goddesses in Greek mythology embodies misunderstood feminine power associated with death, change, and justice. Figures like Hecate, Persephone, and Nyx illustrate the balance of creation and destruction. #darkgoddess #greekmyth https://connectparanormal.net/2025/05/24/the-power-of-greek-dark-goddesses-explained/

it's, frankly, rude that one of the COVID variants was called "Centaurus."

Why?

Because Centaurus (the #constellation) is #Chiron -- and Chiron is the wise, just centaur who the #mythological inventor of medicine & surgery.

And thus the rudeness 😂

I approve of this Pegasus behavior.

👎 boo to the centaur Nessus in the #Disney animated film #Hercules (my least favorite fictional centaur)!

In our exploration of the #GreekMyths behind the #constellations, we've talked a fair amount about the Greco-Roman god of the #theater (wine, fertility, arts-- lots of multihyphenates...). So far, Dionysus has shown up in the myths of Corona Australis, Corona Borealis, and Lyra.

But probably my favorite thing about him are his followers -- the Maenads.

Their claim to fame?

Dancing. Singing. Ripping people apart.

This week we talked about the #mythology of the #constellation #Centaurus

While the main story is about the centaur Chiron, his story also intersects with Prometheus, who was punished by Zeus to have his liver eaten by an Eagle every day... truly nightmare fuel 😱

One way you can tell Chiron isn't like *other* centaurs is that he shows up an entire upper and lower body of a human... but with horse back legs.

#Hubble is back at it!

This is the Veil Nebula located in the #constellation #Cygnus

We covered the #astronomy of Cygnus last season here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/cygnus-cosmic-background/

As well as the #GreekMyth behind the constellation here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/cygnus-myths-and-retconstellations/

Hubble Space Telescope composite image of the Veil Nebula - a supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus.

The photograph shows a wispy structure in an array of colors in the enter of the image. The background is black, but some green spots are scattered across the image.

But he was a good husband I saw it in a Disney movie!

Like what I do? Keep me goin' at the coffee site in my bio!
