Have the old gods been exiled? Did they misbehave? Will they return?

Didn't we have mental illnesses for about a year? I think I was about to graduate from "OCD" to "Sociopath" when we started using gods.

When did the Greeks and Romans start having their own gods and goddesses? Is this a Facebook thing?

Is there a beer god?

Actually, I phrased my question wrong. It should have been "Are there beer gods?" and yes Virginia there are 10!

See http://www.socyberty.com/Folklore/10-An ... Beer.47169

Beer and other fermented drinks have long been produced in various forms around the world. Beer became an important commodity and necessity even in ancient cultures. As such, most of these cultures have a deity or a God dedicated to beer and brewing.
These are the world’s ten known Ancient Gods of beer:

Silenus

In Ancient Greek mythology, Silenus is the God of beer and a drinking companion. He is usually associated with his buddy, Dionysus. He is often featured as a bald and fat man, with a big beer belly. He is normally drunk and it is said that he had to be carried either by donkeys or satyrs (in Greek mythology, satyrs are wood-dwelling creatures with the head and body of a man and the ears, horns, and legs of a goat).

Dionysus

Dionysus is famously known for being the Ancient Greek God of intoxicating drinks like wine and beer. He is also known as the Liberator as he liberates oneself with the intoxicating power of alcoholic drinks. He is the son of Zeus and considered Silenus his tutor.

Ninkasi

Ninkasi is the Ancient Sumerian Goddess of beer and brewing. It is said that she provides the world with the secret to make beer. In Sumerian culture, she is also known for her power to satisfy human desire.

Osiris

In Ancient Egyptian culture, Osiris is the God of agriculture. He is also known as the God of beer. A Greek historian from the time of Julius Caesar once wrote that, "Osiris taught the people how to brew the beverage which is made of barley, which is not greatly inferior to wine in odor and potency."

Aegir

In Norse mythology, Aegir is actually the God of the sea. It is believed that he has the control of the storms and turbulent seas. He is also known as the God of beer and brewing.

Tezcatzontecatl

In the Aztec tradition, Tezcatzontecatl is the God of pulque (a traditional alcoholic beverage made of fermented juice of the century plant, and similar to beer). He is also associated with drunkenness and fertility. A monument built like a pyramid was built on top of the Tepozteco Mountain for the worshiper and now, this place has become a well known archaeological site.

Mbaba Mwana Waresa

In Zulu mythology, Mbaba Mwana Waresa is the Goddess of beer because it is believed that she created the first beer for human comsumption. She is also known as the Goddess of rain and the rainbow. She is celebrated for her search of true love.

Yasigi

In certain African cultures, Yasigi is the Goddess of beer, dance and masks. Her statue portrays her as large-breasted female holding a beer ladle while dancing. How you doin'? :wink:

Radegast

In the Czech mythology, Radegast is the God of hospitality and mutuality. According to the legend, he is credited for the creation of beer.

Raugupatis and Ragutiene

In Ancient Baltic and Slavic mythology, Raugupatis is known as the God of fermentation. Raugutiene is Raugupatis partner and she is known as the Goddess of beer.

What do you think about title deserved by achievement such as:

-Marathoner
-Boston qualified
-Boston Vet
-Ironman
-Half Ironman
-Triathlete
-Duathlete
-Half Marathoner
-10 km runner
-Ultra Marathoner

and so on, I know there are more possibilities...

I feel very androgenous all of a sudden. ( :oops:

Uh oh - that was supposed to be an inside thought.)

I think I saw a few of the old gods serving slushies at the local 7-11.

Maybe I was wrong.

nope - because you would have to put them in some order....wouldn't you? or, would you specify what your own title was?

No order because we can't judge or compare on that. We would have to specify ourself. Someone could define his/herself as a 5 km runner even ran a marathon in the past. Mod approval could be necessary or not.
