Inanna… Sumerian goddess of grain, fertility/sex, war, and the bringer of Me (knowledge) to humanity. Traveled to the Underworld (to visit Her Sister) … Was stripped of all Her symbols of power/divinity… Was hanged dead upon a meat hook for 3 days… Came back to life and returned to the world…got cranky her husband didn’t try to rescue her (thankfully Her hand maiden made a golem and saved Her) and instead was off partying with nubile girls, so She sent him to the Underworld in Her place. Jack@$$.
@inanna and now i read the Wikipedia version of her… Amusing: it looks like she may not have been “visiting” her sister so much as there like a spoiled little sister there to overthrow her older sister? But yea, people should not party on the death of their spouse, nice ancient life-lesson.
Orestes, Mad, Pursued by the Furies, except the genders are reversed. At this moment, two men are working on my house siding, and a third is fitting molding and quarter round. I’m making coffee.
@OldCatLady - I was doing my own 1/4 round just last weekend! Next weekend it’ll be the gutters… Homeownership, the labor of Sisyphus. Beats Furies you have to pay to make noise, though!
Euryale . It has been raining for a week, everything is soggy, I can’t get out to do stuff, and I’m grumpy. Anyone ringing my doorbell today is living dangerously.

Unless they are delivering packages of something edible. I’ll allow that.
Lion-O from the thunder cats.
Man, I’d love to be Hephaestus: brilliant inventor with a hot wife.

@simplersimon - Just remember, she fooled around.
Thor, God of Thund…
Oh, wait, that’s just gas.
@2many2no
The thunder god went for a ride
Upon his favorite filly.
“I’m Thor!” he cried; the horse replied:
“You forgot your thaddle, thilly!”
Meh-rus. Left my batteries in the refrigerator too long and they expired.
@wmbarr PSA: If they’re in the refrigerator, they NEVER expire!
I’m not educated enough to answer this question.
@awk Just fake it like everyone else in this thread.
@awk @shahnm Yeah, a myth is just an ancient conspiracy theory.

I am a Nereid. They are supposed to symbolize all that is lovely and gentle about the sea.
@CaptAmehrican But you love cursing like a sailor!
@ELUNO nope i rarely swear. Yoj are confusing me with others who help the f count.
@CaptAmehrican
so I guess you swear like a captain! (That is, not at all!)
@CaptAmehrican @ELUNO
What, never? 
@awilkey
No, never! 
@awilkey @dannybeans
Well, hardly ever! 
@bocoroth @dannybeans

@Eluno is Anansi
In mythology of the islands a spider who occasionally appears as a man. He is also a storyteller and holder of local knowledge.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anansi
@CaptAmehrican So I’m Aunt Nancy from now on?!?!
@ELUNO you are a wize storytelling spider who appears as a.man who is into local lore. You embody humourous storytelling.
@CaptAmehrican I hope my stories reach far and beyond the seven seas.
@CaptAmehrican @Eluno You both might want to read ‘Anansi Boys’ by Neil Gaiman, Read ‘American Gods’, too.
@OldCatLady Loved those books!

Dionysus, enjoying the casemates addition to my mediocre universe.
