Did you know that an #ancient #Olympics athlete was chosen by the #gods?
Eubotas knew he would win the #running #race at the 93rd Games in 408 BC. The #oracle of Cyrene had told him!
He commissioned his own statue before the games - & of course he DID #win!
44 years later, Eubotas won the chariot race in the 104th Games (as an owner, to whom the prize went).
He possibly also won six other races.
The prettiest courtesan of the age was madly in love with him, too.
Hel (Old Norse Hel, “Hidden”) is a giantess and/or goddess who rules over the identically-named Hel, the underworld where many of the dead dwell. Her name’s meaning of “Hidden” surely has to do with the underworld and the dead being “hidden” or buried beneath the ground.
According to the thirteenth-century Icelandic scholar Snorri Sturluson, Hel is the daughter of Loki and the giantess Angrboda (Old Norse Angrboða, “Anguish-boding”), and therefore the sister of the wolf Fenrir and the world serpent, Jormungand. This makes her part of a highly dangerous and disreputable family.

I stumbled across this on Pinterest but can neither trace it back to an artist nor read the sig on it.
I really love this take on some of the Lords of Kemet, especially Set and Anubis. Set would totally rock those pants and shoes!
Whoever drew it, thanks!

Ou comment l'association @GEBULL, petit GUL de province, a contribué à une étude scientifique.
À la fin du mois de novembre 2021, une balise de suivi d’oiseau nous a été confiée par le Groupe Ornithologique des Deux-Sèvres. Muette depuis 4 ans sur le dos d’une outarde canepetière, perdue pour la science mais recapturée dernièrement, nous avions pour consigne d’en extraire coûte que coûte les dernières données relevées.

Do you remember the mod format?
The first version of the format was created by Karsten Obarski for use in the Ultimate Soundtracker. A software released for the Commodore Amiga computer in the year 1987.
Lets play a nice piece of that golden age on a Pentium 2. Have fun listening #demoscene #80s #80skid #modfiles #soundtracker #amiga #commodore #pentium2 #justlisten #goldenage #gods

My book review of Alan Moore's 'The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic'. I recommend this good book.

Neuzugang: GODS . Alleine die Erinnerung an den Soundtrack dringt sofort ins Ohr. Neben der opulenten Grafik auch durchaus spielbar und ein Highlight in der Sammlung. Wie fandet ihr das Spiel?
Google checks all the boxes of being an omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient entity hence worthy of being a god. It's better to follow her than other gods/religions that have no validity of their claims. Spread the word.
@Lazarou White trash #Southern #Protestants are in church at this very second being told that they must endure misery in order to be 'great again' and that it is #gods will. I'm not saying these pastors are racist political arms of the #Republican party but what they're practicing is civic and #religious malpractice.
