Minos

**Minos** in Greek mythology is son of Zeus and the mortal princess Europa. Later, he became a king of island Crete. He is famous for owning the human-eating beast called the Minotaur after himself, whom he fed young Athenians to until Theseus put an end in that practice.

## Miscellaneous Myths

### The Minotaur

Minos was born to Zeus and Europa, whom he abducted in the form of a bull. Wanting to become king of Crete over his brothers Sarpedon and Rhadamanthys, he asked for help from Poseidon, who gave him a splendid snow-white bull, with the understanding that Minos is to sacrifice the bull to Poseidon later. The people of Crete are impressed by the divine sign, and accept unanimously Minos as their king.

But Minos finds the bull too splendid to kill, so he kills a lesser on in his place. Enraged, Poseidon (with the help of Aphrodite) makes Pasiphae, Minos' wife, to fall in love with the bull. With the help of Daedalus, Pasiphae couples with the bull and gives birth to the Minotaur, a half-human half-bull creature that only feasts on humans.

After consulting the oracle of Delphi, Minos commissions Daedalus to build a large, inescapable labyrinth in which he confines the Minotaur. For extra measure, he imprisons Daedalus and his son Icarus in a tower so nobody else will know the secrets of the labyrinth. After a dispute with Athens, he forces Athens to send him a few youths every couple of years for the Minotaur to eat.

The third time this happens, Theseus hears of it and decides to put an end to it. He arrives in Crete, and with the help of Ariadne, Minos' daughter, he manages to slay the beast. Minos is not the least pleased, so Theseus and Ariadne have to bail.

### Icarus

Needing a space for the Minotaur, Minos asks Daedalus to create a massive labyrinth to hide the beast in. After he's done, Minos imprisons him and his son Icarus in a tower so that they won't escape and tell anyone else the secrets of the labyrinth.

Nerea

**Nerea** is, according to *Miscellaneous Myths: Nerites* one of the 50 Nereids, daughters of Nereus and Doris.

## Miscellaneous Myths

### Nerites

After her brother was turned into a shrimp (by either Aphrodite or Helios, depending on the version of the story), Nerea took him to Poseidon and asked him to restore her brother to his former form, which Poseidon did.

## Notes

1. ↑ Nerea doesn't seem to exist in actual Greek mythology; Aelian (whose *On Animals* provides the source for Nerites' tale) makes no mention of any Nereid sister (in fact, no Nereid is named Nerea *at all*, although the name itself seems to be the feminine form of her father's Nereus), or Nerites turning back in any version. Nereids with a similar name could be Neaera or Nesaea.
Semele

**Semele** in Greek mythology is a Theban princess, the daughter of the hero Cadmus and Harmonia, the goddess of harmony. Semele is the mother of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, whom he conceived after a long affair with Zeus; however, due to Zeus' jealous queen Hera's machinations, Semele found tragic death and never got to raise her son.

## Miscellaneous Myths

### Dionysus

Hera, when she hears of Zeus' latest conquest, transforms herself into an old woman and gains Semele's trust. Semele confides to her new friend that not only her boyfriend is Zeus himself, but she is also expecting his son. Hera is furious to hear that, and plants seeds of doubt into Semele's head; she tells her that everyone can claim to be Zeus, and the only way to know for sure is to ask him to appear in his true form to her.

Next time that Semele meets Zeus, she gets him to promise her a favour, and then asks him to show her his true form. Knowing that this would be disastrous, Zeus tries to talk her out of it, but Semele insists. Having no other choice, Zeus appears in his godly form; the sheer power alone burns Semele to crisp. Her pre-mature baby son Dionysus, however, survives this ordeal, and Zeus sews him in his calf so he can continue growing.

### The Theogony

Zeus fathers Dionysus after a complicated affair with Semele.

### Actaeon

Semele is briefly seen being wooed by her nephew, Actaeon.

## Physical Appearance

Semele has very long hair and dark purple eyes.
Mars

**Mars** is the Roman god of war, the son of Jupiter and Juno, and so far he hasn't made any appearance in any video.

His Greek counterpart is the god Ares.

## Miscellaneous Myths

### Hermes

Most Roman gods developed on their own right, independent from their Greek counterparts. Mars, for example, was an agricultural god as well as a god of war, and wasn't treated with anywhere near as much contempt as Ares was in his own pantheon.
Nyx

* Normal
* OSP reward

In Greek mythology **Nyx** (Ancient Greek Νύξ, *Nýx*, lit. "night") is one of Protogenoi, primordial gods which personify some aspect of the universe. Nyx is a goddess and personification of night. With her brother and husband, Erebus (Darkness), she gave birth to daughter Hemera (Day), and a son, Aether (Light). In mythology, she gave birth by her own to many other deities, like Eris (Discord), Nemesis (Retribution) and Thanatos (Death).

## Miscellaneous Myths

Nyx is also one of the few gods that Zeus openly fears. One account that details Zeus' fear of Nyx is when Hypnos, the god of sleep, reminds Hera of an old favor after she asks him to put Zeus to sleep. He had once before put Zeus to sleep at the bidding of Hera, allowing her to cause Heracles, who was returning by sea from Laomedon's Troy, great misfortune.

Zeus was furious and would have smitten Hypnos into the sea if he had not fled to Nyx, his mother, in fear. In fact, the king of the gods was fearful to the point where he held his fury at bay and in this way Hypnos escaped the wrath of Zeus by appealing to his powerful mother. He disturbed Zeus only a few times after that always fearing Zeus and running back to his mother, Nyx, who would have confronted Zeus with a maternal fury.
Mani

**Mani** (lit. "Moon") is god of the moon from Norse mythology and brother of Sól (the sun goddess). In Norse myths, Mani is chased by Hati, giant wolf and son of Fenrir, while Sól is chased by Sköll, borther of Hati. At the beginning of Ragnarok, Sköll and Hati would finally catch and swallow Sól and Mani. He has not yet appeared as god in any video, only drawn as a reward.

Susanoo

Susanoo is the god of storms and the slayer of the eight-headed serpent Yamata-no-Orochi in Japanese mythology.

## Miscellaneous Myths

### Rivalry with Amaterasu

Despite being siblings, there long-standing rivalry between Susanoo and his sister, Amaterasu. One account details is when he was to leave Heaven by orders of Izanagi, he went to bid his sister goodbye. Amaterasu was suspicious, but when Susanoo proposed a challenge to prove his sincerity, she accepted. Each of them took an object of the other's and from it birthed gods and goddesses. Amaterasu birthed three women from Susanoo's Totsuka-no-Tsurugi while he birthed five men from her necklace.

Amaterasu declares that the male deities were hers because they were born of her necklace, and that the three goddesses were Susanoo's. Susanoo, announcing that he had won the trial as he had produced deities of the required gender, thus signifying the purity of his intentions, "raged with victory" and proceeded to wreak havoc by destroying his sister's rice fields, defecating in her palace and flaying the 'heavenly piebald horse' (ame-no-fuchikoma), which he then hurled at Amaterasu's loom, killing one of her weaving maidens. A furious Amaterasu in response hid inside the Ama-no-Iwato ("Heavenly Rock Cave"), plunging heaven and earth into total darkness.

Though she was persuaded to leave the cave (with the help of a ceremony and a unique style of dancing), Susanoo was punished by being banished from Heaven.

### Slaying of Yamata-no-Orochi

He descended to the province of Izumo, where he met an elderly couple who told him that seven of their eight daughters had been devoured by the eight-headed dragon Yamata no Orochi and it was nearing time for their eighth, Kushinada-hime. Sympathizing with their plight, Susanoo hid Kushinadahime by transforming her into a comb, which he placed in his hair. He then made the serpent drunk on strong sake and then killed it as it lay in a drunken stupor. From within the serpent's tail Susanoo discovered the sword Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi or the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, which he then presented to Amaterasu as a reconciliatory gift.

## Miscellaneous Myths

### Thoth Gambles With The Moon

The story begins with Ra being exceedingly angry, which isn't uncommon, but the reason behind this is due to the fact that Nut and Geb would engage in sexual activity every day just as Ra passes through them. Although it is not entirely clear why this bothers him so much.

As a result of this, Ra decreed that "Nut shall not give birth any day of the year." At that time, the year was only 360 days. A distraught Nut spoke to Thoth, god of wisdom, and he had a plan. Thoth gambled with Khonsu, god of the moon, whose light rivaled that of Ra's. Every time Khonsu lost, he had to give Nut some of his moonlight. Khonsu lost so many times to Thoth that Nut had enough moonlight to make five extra days. Since these days were not part of the year, Nut could have her children. She had five children: Osiris, later ruler of the gods and then god of the dead; Horus the Elder, god of war; Set, god of evil and the desert; Isis, goddess of magic; and Nephthys, goddess of water. When Ra found out, he was furious. He separated Nut from her husband Geb for eternity.

Pygmalion and Galatea

***Miscellaneous Myths: Pygmalion and Galatea*** is the third episode of the *Miscellaneous Myths* series by Red, as well as the third episode of that series on Greek mythology. It focused on the myth of Pygmalion, a talented sculptor who, finding normal women to be insufficient, sculpts his own, ideal woman, who eventually comes to life.

## Summary

Pygmalion, a highly talented sculptor, lives on the island of Cyprus. He refuses to enter a relationship, not because he is not interested, but rather because no woman meets his impossibly high standards (as he dislikes women who think, have sex, etcetera). He still appreciates beauty, however, and so he creates his ideal woman out of marble, and names her Galatea, which means "milky white".

The statue is beautiful, and posseses of all the traits he admires (such as not breathing), so Pygmalion dresses her up, gives her jewels, takes her out to dates, even sleeps with it, but being made of cold marble, cannot love him back. During some festival in honour of Aphrodite, Pygmalion begs the goddess to bring his waifu to life, and Aphrodite, approving of the couple, grants his wish. Now that Galatea is flesh and bones, Pygmalion can marry her, even though she can now talk and have sex.

## Characters appearing

Pygmalion

Galatea

Aphrodite

## Notes

1. ↑ Actually, no ancient myth gives a name to the statue; "Galatea" was coined as her name in the late 1700s.

Light blue

**Rhea** (Ancient Greek: *Ῥέα* or *Ῥεία*) is the Titaness daughter of the earth goddess Gaia and the sky god Ouranos, in Greek mythology and sister-wife to Cronus.

## Overview

She is known as "the mother of gods" and therefore is strongly associated with Gaia as a mother goddess. The classical Greeks saw her as the mother of the Olympian goddesses and gods, though not as an Olympian goddess in her own right.

Rhea was seen as a mother goddess, especially following her identification with the Anatolian mother goddess Cybele; she was often referred to as "the mother of gods". Along with her mother Gaia and her daughter Demeter she was an earth goddess.

Her Roman equivalent is the goddess **Ops**.

## Miscellaneous Myths

### The Theogony

   Rhea was one of the twelve Titan children born to Gaia and Ouranos; although Gaia, displeased with Ouranos imprisoning their children, asked the Titans to help overthrow him, only Cronus was brave enough to take the sickle she had forged and attack his father. He supplanted him as king of the universe, and took Rhea to wife.

   Cronus sired six children with Rhea: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus, in that order, but he swallowed them all as soon as they were born (except for Zeus), since Cronus had learned from Gaia and Ouranos that he was destined to be overcome by his own child as he had overthrown his own father. When Zeus was about to be born, however, Rhea was unable to bare another loss and sought Ouranos and Gaia to devise a plan to save him, so that Cronus would get his retribution for his acts against Ouranos and his own children. Rhea gave birth to Zeus in Crete, handing Cronus a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes, which he promptly swallowed.

This act allowed Zeus to rebel against the Titans and thus be the cause of their downfall. With the help of Metis, a cunning Oceanid nymph, Zeus forced Cronus to disgorge the other children he had swallowed by slipping him a poison. Zeus, allied with his siblings (and soon enough, with Cronus' brothers the Cyclopes and the Hecatoncheires, after he freed them) rebelled against Cronus and won, becoming the new king of the universe.

After the Titanomachy, Rhea still retained a place of utter prominence in the new order although she's had minor appearances since then.

### Dionysus

She was featured in Red's video concerning her grandson Dionysus where she healed Dionysus of his insanity that was inflicted on him by Hera. In the same video Red also explains that Rhea was one of the possible caretakers of an infant Dionysus.

At some point, Hera inflicted some madness on Dionysus which caused him to wander aimlessly for a while, before Rhea fixed his brain, and Dionysus was healed.

## Physical Appearance

Rhea is light blue-coloured, with very long hair.

## Miscellaneous Myths

After climbing a celestial ladder, Tsukuyomi lived in the heavens, also known as Takamagahara, with his sister and wife Amaterasu, the sun goddess.

### Killing the Food Goddess

Tsukuyomi angered Amaterasu when he killed Uke Mochi, the goddess of food. Amaterasu once sent Tsukuyomi to represent her at a feast presented by Uke Mochi. The goddess made the food by turning to the ocean and spitting out a fish, then facing the forest and game came out of her mouth, and finally turned to a rice paddy and coughed up a bowl of rice. Tsukuyomi was utterly disgusted by the fact that, although it looked exquisite, the meal was made in a disgusting manner, and so he killed her.

Soon, Amaterasu learned what happened and she was so angry that she refused to ever look at Tsukuyomi again, forever moving to another part of the sky. This is the reason that day and night are never together.

Mina Harker

## Halloween Special

### Dracula

Mina Harker corresponded with her friend Lucy Westenra, who told her all about how three suitors came to propose to her in the same day: Doctor John Seward, Quincey P. Morris, and Arthur Holmwood. Mina later visited her, during which time Dracula began sucking Lucy's blood. At one point, Mina had to bring Lucy back inside during the night due to her sleepwalking to a nearby courtyard.

Some time later, she learned that her husband Jonathan Harker was alive after a period of receiving no letters from him. She returned to him and read his diary about his encounter with Dracula, compiling all the information she had on him. Then, she and Abraham Van Helsing met and figured out what Dracula's plan was.

Mina was pushed away by the Dude SquadTM when Van Helsing explained the abilities of vampires because they didn't want to subject her to such cruel knowledge; Dracula then began sucking her blood. Eventually, the Dude SquadTM caught him in the act of force-feeding his blood to Mina. This, in turn, gave Mina a psychic link to Dracula that the group used to hunt him down.

While hunting Dracula, they lost track of him, but Mina deduced which route he was taking to get back to his castle. The group then split up with Van Helsing and Mina going to deal with the vampiresses and closing off Dracula's castle while the rest of the Dude SquadTM chased Dracula on horseback. The group then killed Dracula.

## Introduction

Red begins with the backstory of the myth. First, Zeus had a fling with the goddess Leto, knocking her up. Naturally, Hera objected and set out some rules: Leto wasn't allowed to give birth on the mainland, an island, or literally anywhere. So when time for the delivery came, Leto found a barren rock named Delos, which wasn't on the mainland and didn't count as an island. Furious, Hera kidnapped the goddess of childbirth, Eileithyia, but Leto's twins were born eventually anyway, first Artemis and then, nine days later, Apollo.

One day, Niobe, while inside Leto's temple, bragged about being better than Leto for having fourteen kids to Leto's two.

Paris

## Miscellaneous Myths

### Aphrodite

The Judgement of Paris is briefly shown, in context of how Aphrodite is almost singlehandedly the cause of the entire Trojan War, as her willingness to bring **Paris** and Helen together caused almost all of Greece to be plunged into war against Troy.

## Legends Summarized

### The Trojan War

While pregnant with Paris, his mother Hecuba had a dream that she would give birth to a flaming torch that would burst into snakes. Worried by this bad omen, both she and king Priam gave Paris to the servants to be killed. Choosing to not kill Paris, the servants instead left him on a hillside to die, where he was found by some shepherds who raised him. Years later, he would be spotted by his sister Cassandra and taken back home to royalty.

To prevent Athena, Hera and Aphrodite from causing chaos at Peleus and Thetis's wedding, Zeus and Hermes brought them to Mount Ida, where Paris was given the task of deciding which of the three was the most beautiful. To further entice Paris into picking her, each goddess offered Paris something in return; Athena offering wisdom and battle strategy; Hera offering him the throne of all Europe and Asia; Aphrodite offering him the hand of Helen of Troy as a wife.

Paris chose Aphrodite, giving her the apple, and the two sailing to Sparta to go get Helen. Upon arriving, Paris is first hosted by the Dioscuri, later Helen and Menelaus. When Menelaus goes off to Crete, Aphrodite, in disguise, gets Paris and Helen together. Paris then loads his ship with Helen and stolen treasure and sails away to return to Troy.

However, the ship encounters a large and violent storm on the way there which was caused by an enraged Hera, possibly wanting to punich Paris as she was the goddess of marriage. Luckily, they make it through the storm and arrive in Troy, where Paris and Helen are married, despite the ramblings of Cassandra. In Euripides' play *Helen*, the Helen that Paris takes to Troy is an illusion created by Hera, while the real Helen is safe from the war in Egypt.

The Trojan War soon begins following the Achaeans' arrival at Troy and their subsequent--albeit failed--attempts to get back Helen and their stolen treasure. In the first nine years of the war, almost the entirety of Troy is destroyed save for the inner walled city where Paris, Helen and the rest of the royal family live.

In Pseudo--Apollodorus's *Bibliotheca*, the death of Achilles is said to have been caused by Paris shooting Achilles in his heel, while being guided by Apollo. Similarly, in Ovid's *Metamorphoses*, Paris and Apollo both help kill Achilles, but are motivated by Poseidon, presumably due to Achilles killing one of Poseidon's sons during the war.

Nearing the end of the war, Paris is shot by Philoctetes and two poisons arrows, one hitting him in the arm and the other in the groin. As he was dying, Paris cried out to his wife, the nymph Oenoe, for help. Still upset that Paris chose Helen over her, she does nothing to help him, and so Paris dies.

Mercury is the son of Jupiter and Maia.

His Greek counterpart is the god Hermes.

## Miscellaneous Myths

### Hermes

The Romans, while they already had their own pantheon with gods that had development independently from their Greek equivalents there wasn't really anything for Hermes. The name Romans gave the Greek god Hermes, "Mercurius", etymologically is derived either from the Latin word for "merchant" or an older word meaning "boundary", more of a description of Hermes' domains rather than an actual name. This name has no other history before that, and Hermes perhaps absorbed also a number of minor Roman deities, known as the *Dea Lucrii*, but beyond that Mercury did not exist before (Apollo similarly does not have a pre-existing Roman equivalent god; but in his case, the name was kept).

During Roman era, Mercury was extremely important as the god of trade and travel in an empire that kept expanding. He turned up in coinage, in sculptures and frescos at Pompeii, and another thing that made him popular was syncretism. Rome had the tendency to equate the gods of the people they conquered to their own; when he Romans took over the Celts, Mercury was syncretized with Lugh, a great warrior and creator of all arts. When they interacted with the Germanic peoples, Mercury was equated to Odin, possibly due to their connections to travelling and soul-guiding.

## Physical Appearance

Mercury is identical to Hermes, having the same caduceus, winged hat, winged sandals and orange colour.

Year by year, this unseen entity grows to monstrous proportions, requiring the two men to make frequent modifications to their residence. People begin to notice a trend of cattle mysteriously disappearing. Wilbur's grandfather dies. His mother disappears soon afterwards. The colossal entity eventually occupies the whole interior of the farmhouse. This creature is revealed to be Wilbur's twin brother, though it "looked more like the father than Wilbur did."
Tokoyo

**Tokoyo** was a legendary heroine and slayer of Yofuné-Nushi, a *kami* of the Oki islands. She was the daughter of Oribe Shima, a samurai.

## Fables and Folktales

### Tokoyo and the Sea Monster

After her father is exiled to the Oki Islands, which separates the two, Tokoyo is determined to get him back. She tries and fails to charter a boat at port, then decides to take a boat herself. Upon arriving in the Oki Islands, she is unable to find her father as nobody seems to have seen him. And even if they did, helping a man in exile is a punishable offense.

After quite some time, Tokoyo is considerably exhausted from her attempts to locate the whereabouts of her father. One night on a cliff, she lights up a small fire at a shrine, prays for a bit, then falls asleep. Tokoyo is then quickly awoken by the sounds of screaming.

Following the sound, Tokoyo finds a praying priest holding a little girl over the water's edge. About to push her in, he is stopped by Tokoyo, who saves the girl. The priest then explains that, under the water lies a sea monster which demands an annual sacrifice of a little girl or else storms will ravage the land.

Fed up with her current situation, Tokoyo decides to volunteer to kill the monster, as she has nothing to lose. She gives the priest a latter for her father, sticks a knife in between her teeth, and dives into the water. She was able to make it pretty far down, as she was a pearl-diver in her younger years with the locals in her hometown.

Tokoyo finds a luminous cave with a silhouette of a man. Upon closer inspection, she finds that it is not the sea monster, but instead a wooden statue of Hojo Takatoki, the man who exiled her father. Hesitating on whether or not to take out some anger on the statue, Tokoyo decides to bring it with her and lugs it up to the surface.

At that moment, the sea monster, a *kami* known as Yofuné-Nushi, reveals itself. With Tokoyo held down by a statue and being deep underwater, Yofuné-Nushi believed her to be easy prey. That was its first mistake, as Tokoyo plunged her knife into its eyes, and furiously stabbed its heart, killing it.

Tokoyo then emerges from the ocean, holding both the statue and the corpse of Yofuné-Nushi in tow. All locals then celebrate Tokoyo as a hero who saved them, after ruling out the possibility of her being a god or a gumption-powered anime protagonist.

Word of Tokoyo's heroic deed makes its way to Hojo takatoki, who just so happened to awake from a longstanding illness the moment Tokoyo pulled the statue from the water. As such, Hojo Takatoki believes that the statue was cursed to slowly and painfully kill him, and, by freeing the statue, Tokoyo accidentally saved him.

In gratitude, Hojo Takatoki oders that Oribe Shima be immediately taken out of prison and exile, finally reuniting Tokoyo with her father. The two return home, living safely and securely with the knowledge that Tokoyo is a "stone-cold, monster-slayin' badass with lungs of titanium."

## Physical Appearance

Tokoyo is a young girl with colorless, mortal skin. She has thick, white hair and green eyes.
