Heh... it seems that both of the above Titans were castrated by their youngest children.


How cruel Greek mythology is. Hehe.

I find it unfortunate that because of the Latin translation, people seem to be interested in Uranus because of well... you know.

I hadn't even realized that... Heh...

Here's a Titan probably nobody has heard of, yet her children are among the most famous gods.

Indeed, most of the attention is focused on the Olympian gods. And some of the others.

I vote Bacchus/Dionysus, the party god. I love to party. I'm such an alcoholic lol. I love college.

I also like Minerva/Athena, goddess of wisdom and warfare, and Pax/Eriene, goddess of peace.

I like roman mythology better though. Even though they are about the same. I'm just biased like that.

They are the almost, just not quite, same, just different names, and Roman doesn't go quite as in depth, while it has a few added myths about a few particularly Latin heroes.

One of the main reasons I prefer Greek, is simply because people associate most of the major Roman deities names' with planets, so as to avoid confusion.

Being the creator of that specific pantheon didn't hurt either.

I vote Bacchus/Dionysus, the party god.

You do know he was murdered, right? Ripped into pieces and then more-or-less sewn back together? As a result of particular sphere he represented, no less.

I don't really care what happened to him. And didn't really want to know that. I'm just voting for him for because he's the party god. Who doesn't like to party?

Fun fact about how I got my screen name: My ancestors are from Italy and I'm pretty sure I have Roman blood in me so that's it. And I consider myself a roman. I'm short enough to be one, lol.

And no I'm not drunk in you wondering.

My favorite is Poseidon because I love the ocean and any body of water. He also control earthquakes and horses . . . C'mon, why wouldn't you like to control earthquakes and horses

Dionysus is representative of drunken debauchery. No way I'd vote for him.

And I am for Ares and Poseidon.

and Roman doesn't go quite as in depth


That is because they mostly copied the stories over.

And I consider myself a roman.


You're no Roman, you're an Italian. Kidding.

Weren't they portrayed as more the dim-bulbs of the pantheon?

I think Ares also went on murderous rampages... Then again, that could have been Tyr, and I'm getting my pantheons mixed up.

Kronos


Has that have anything to do with the fact that he castrated his dad?

I find it funny that Aphrodite emerged out of the sea foam that was a result of the floating genitals of Uranus drifting through the water after they were severed and thrown down into the sea by Kronos.

Well, what after all, would be more fertile than the sky's 'nads?

Don't even bother trying to answer that, I don't even get it.
