general

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

this makes me realize how little mythos there are that are popular/i know

Egyptian, Greek/Roman, Norse

Japan

You could probably get by

i dont know a lot about them

there's some Onis

They have those youkais

fgo taught me 99% of my japanese knowledge

so

its probably not good

China really hates ghosts

aren't skeletons banned in china

Yes

Anyone found with a skeleton is executed

china bans everything except sex

Chinese myth is stupid, as are 90% of the rest of the world's

chinese have the best dragons though

The old rule for chinese film: no ghosts, no gays

like rayquaza

kappa

They don't even have wings

Die

smh

>needing wings

Slavic tradition is cool, but it's not all tied together like Greek/Roman/Norse

that makes them chads

they dont NEED wings

slavic kinda takes from the greeks too though

What about Arab mythos

The wings don't even make sense for normal dragons tbh

dragons are cool in general

with russia being the "third rome" and all that

I mean european dragons

Arab was Greek/Roman Rusp

Shut

Unless you mean really specific one-offs

i cant wait for the time when people say we dont have enough religion equality

Islam is abrahamic

we need more equality of other religions in media

Yes yes, bring on the Satanists

wheres my aztec gods representation
