Erotic Mythology (hire me) 🌹 (aimeemaroux@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 01-Aug-2023 06:50:19 JST Erotic Mythology (hire me) 🌹

This week's #MythologyMonday theme is work.
Four deities spring to my mind when I think of work: #Demeter, #Hermes, #Hephaistos, and #Athena. #AncientGreece was an agricultural society with 80% of the population being involved in this line of work. In Greek mythology, it was Demeter who invented agriculture but according to Diodorus Siculus she burnt all the grain when her daughter #Persephone vanished out of grief and anger.
