In a rather literal version of a comeback, Sisyphus tricked Persephone in letting him return to the world of the living to punish his wife for neglecting his burial, a *grave* offense... Didn't last. Hermes dragged him back to the underworld.

The final challenge before Zeus truly became the cosmic king was against Typhon. In some versions of the myth, he was imprisoned beneath Mount Etna in Sicily, which explains the volcanic activity. In others he was imprisoned in Tartarus.

in #folklore and #mythology, blood turning into a flower is almost a trope. In #GreekMythology, we see this with Adonis, the mortal lover of Aphrodite. He was gored to death by a boar and his blood mixed with her tears and turned into the anemone.

We like to try and box the deities in to simple categories and classifications. That doesn't always work. Aphrodite is a great example. She was the goddess of love, yes, but she had other aspects, many of them related to war.

Aphrodite was the goddess of love, we all know that, but she had a LOT of other titles, descriptors and epithets. I am certain I missed some.

'water horse' is basically a category of creature in various folklores. Often malevolent and...horse-shaped (though they sometimes shapeshift in different stories), it tries to drown people. A kelpie is a good example.

#Mythology #GreekMythology #Infographic #Classics Aphrodite and Eros are the main love deities, but Greek gods could get very specific, so there was an entourage of sorts known as the Erotes who personified different aspects, like Hedylogos for sweet words or Anteros for requited love.
