So what was the straw that broke the camels back for you Max

oh look

the phoenix

is greek

Now that you are seeing Norse mythos everywhere

i was just thinking about it while showering

max why do you doubt that i've seen more norse stuff around

Side question, how many showers a day do you take?

beause greek/roman shit is absolutley everywhere

bennu

once spooky

one every day

egyptian firebird

At random times?

usually the afternoon

i dont like morning showers

Also Dialga, I'm not doubting you've seen more Norse shit, I'm just trying to think of how you're lived you life for that would be the case

I don't know, it's probably just coincidence that a lot of stuff i watch and play end up having some kind of norse inspiration in it somewhere

>play

i just have so much doubt in that

Like?

How many games are out there with exclusively Norse shit

I can think of... 5 or 6? recent, examples

skyrim

kappa

only game dialga plays

Max please

its not just games though

In books, movies, the names of things and etc.

Or like things people name there pets, you see more people name their dogs after a god like "My dogs name is Ares xD" instead of "my dogs name is Odin!"

its just all of that

I almost think Marvel movies have made it harder for super mainstream Norse shit to do well Because mainstream Norse shit will always revolve around Thor, Loki, and Odin

I can see that

I feel like, since its so ingrained in our culture, we've become desensitized to greek/roman mythos

I mean, Roman history is Western history

I feel like so much of what we do culturally is traced back to that

im pretty sure all of these are greek/roman: Harpy, Minotaur, Pegasus,, Satyrs, Scylla, Sirens, Hydras, Amazons (the females xD, should be grouped in with subhumans too though kappa)

and then things like the trojan horse

all of them are greek

everything roman "culture" was greek culture

even the roman emperors said so, greeks were all about matters of state and culture, romans would do the military stuff

the romans added on to the stuff that they integrated

also, the apollo, you know the space thing

god of knowledge or something

so much stuff

right

no i mean

t

how usa named our space crafts or some of them

after apollo

yes

he was god of the arts i think

Everything in Space is Greek/Roman named

^ that too

This is why i have serious doubts, i mean it might be possible

but like

wasn't apollo the messenger of the gods

Depends if you're talking Greek or Roman Dialga

Hermes was I thought

hermes is messenger

i can't remember if it was apollo or hermes

Yeah, hermes is the fast one

the ancient greeks built the foundation of western philosophy and knowledge, so it's not surprising that we still honor their stuff

hermes boots lmao xD

i know mercury is the roman equivelant

For a long time we didn't though Fire

medieval europe had some problems

No, I mean up until the 19th century

the renaissance set in motion the discovery of lost greek culture and knowledge

that's how we refigured out most things

We acknowledged a lot of ideas as just being Roman, or just being ancient

We didn't attribute it to Greece until later

true

didnt greece steal shit from Egypt? or did rome steal from both

They both stole from Egypt

Is this setup for a kangz joke

And other Eastern civs

it's not really stealing as it was more retelling the same stories

man

at some point the stories got a little different because the telephone game effect
