Mythical myths and legendary legends

Where we talk bout the thing on the title.

My personal favorite myth would have to be the black shuck a Celtic myth about a black spectral dog. In legend, it is usually a person celtic decent who sees the black shuck. The black shuck which can mean many things, is usually an omen of bad things to come. If one were to go near it, the dog will usually bark at them and then disapear. The person is usually met with misfortune and usually this involves death. Is also the basis for the monster in "The hound of Baskervilles" by Sherlocke Holmes.

As someone who tries to promote religious tolerance due to the boredom that comes from having that same old debate again, I really shouldn't make any jokes.

Why are you so cranky? You're acting like someone murdered your savior.

Long ago, there were a number of lonely lumberjacks working in the center of a very large forest. They cut down mammoth trees and watched them crash into the thick snow in exactly the place where they said the trees would land. They would cut up the trees and haul them hither and thither. They worked hard, Mon Dieu, very hard indeed! But they were lonely for the women they had left behind.

On New Years Day, it snowed so hard no work could be done. The men huddled in their camp and spoke longingly of their home. They passed around the rum and drank toasts to the New Year, but finally Baptiste said what they were all thinking: "I wish to go home today and see my girl!" There were murmurs of agreement, but Jean replied: "How can we go home today? There is more than two meters of snow on the road, and more snow is falling."

"Who said we were walking out of here?" asked Baptiste. "I am going to paddle out in my canoe." Now the men all knew that Baptiste had a canoe with paddles out back of the camp. Baptiste had made a pact with the devil. If the devil would make the canoe fly wherever Baptiste wished, the lumberjack would not say Mass for an entire year. However, if Baptiste did not return the canoe before dawn of the day after he used it, the devil could keep his soul. While Baptiste and his companions were in la chasse-gallerie, they could not say the name of God or fly over a church or touch any crosses, or the canoe would crash.

Many of the men refused to participate in Baptiste's New Years scheme, but he managed to find seven companions to fly with him in the canoe back to their home town to visit their women. Baptiste and his friends got into the canoe, and Baptiste said the magic words: "Acabris! Acabras! Acabram!"

When Baptiste was done binding himself to the devil, the canoe rose into the air and the men began to paddle their way through the sky to their home. Their womenfolk were so glad to see them! They celebrated long into the night, drinking and dancing. It was close to dawn when the men realized they had to return the canoe to the lumber camp by dawn or forfeit their souls. They searched for Baptiste, and found him as drunk as a lord, lying under a table at the inn. They bundled him into the canoe, spoke the magic words, and paddled away. Knowing that Baptiste would start swearing if they woke him, one of the men tied him up and gagged him so he would not speak the name of God at an inopportune moment and crash the canoe.

When Baptiste awoke, he sat up, struggling with the ropes that bound him. He managed to loosen the gag, and shouted: "Mon Dieu, why have you tied me up?"

At the name of God, the canoe took a nose-dive, plunging towards the ground. It hit the top of a large pine tree and all the men tumbled out and fell down, down into the darkness just before dawn. They were never seen again!

Yes and yes. I know more about Greek legeneds, but I like learning about fae as well. The twelve labors of Heracles is probably one of my favorites, that dude kicked ASS! Though he did unnessacarily murder quite a few people.

I'm also big on Shintoism. Susano vs. Orochi is one of my favorites! He kills Orochi by getting him drunk first. That...that is GENIUS!

I have to say the one that's stayed with me the longest as a favorite over the years is Elizabeth Bathory. I mean I idolize alot of the serial killers from the 1800s-1940s due to their ability to move so freely when there was so little police knowledge to help stop or catch them but Elizabeth's story is easily what I'd imagine myself doing if I had been in her capacity.

Man what didn't turn you to stone in those myths? Basilisks, Gorgons, Zeus, it was a pretty common plot ending.

You know who I feel sad for? The Cyclops. These 3 dudes made all the magical items and all of them end up being killed by the Olympians. Ungrateful jerks.

I've always had a morbid fascination with the more bloodthirsty of historical figures - Vlad Tepes, Jack the Ripper (THERE'S a fascinating criminology/sociology case), Genghis Khan, Hitler - I can't really explain why.

I found out about the Blood Countess late in my teens, and find it a fascinating story, really... despite the fact that she was only ever convicted of a handful of victims, the claims were reliably crediting her with up to 600 or so young women.

The Jersey Devil. Basically the mascot for all of Jersey, even having a damn hockey team based on it. When Mother Leeds was having her 13th child she said while giving birth "I don't want another child. Make it a devil." And the baby was born looking generally normal. But moments later it's nose started to grow, it sprouted wings and horns and turned into a devil! It then climbed up the chimney and flew away doing all sorts of crazy devil stuff. Modern historians believe the devil to be a deformed retarded child that was ridiculed it's whole life and word turned the child into a full on monster. I still like to believe he's the ol' fire breathing monster I've loved since I was a kid though.

And Vlad and the Blood Countess do technically count seing as how Vlad is the partial basis for the character Count Dracula.

Because, in the course of telling their stories, these historical characters have their stories distorted, skewed, and linked to myths (Vlad Tepes -> Dracula being the most prominent).

The stories told of most serial killers before the 40s are myth and legend due to the fact that there are so FEW provable facts and most of it are stories told from generation to generation.

Dragons, just about any folk-lore from Europe to Mexico. I just find it fascinating how just about every culturlle has a legend about reptile people be they good or evil. Maybe it is a distant memory of reptilian people, maybe not. All I know is I friggin' LOVE em. My favorit dragon has to be the fire-drake, a basic dragon but still threatening.

No one said it had to be a favorite. But what is there to say? A magic (soon to be zombie) man who claims to be the son of a god, transmogrifies substances, ignores the consistency of the matter upon which he treads and gives good metaphorical advice on some subjects. Not as cool as a lightning wielding blond with a magic hammer or a toga toting strongman who beat up snakes as a baby, but still pretty interesting.

Well, inside his myth, he is the son of god. He is not as metal as thor or hercules, but I agree, I think he is a pretty interesting character which has a very powerful element in his story: the fact that he is an all powerful god that becomes human to try and change the world from "our" side and suffers a lot because of it. Of course, as this story is so ingrained in our culture, it's very hard to see this as all that interesting.

What I don't understand is why some atheists feel the need to evangelize it so much...

Then again, many atheists I know are just mad at god for whatever reason(how can he allow evil, etc...), which kind of makes them the opposite of atheists.

I can understand getting angry at people trying to tell you how to live your life and what to believe because it's a divinely revealed truth.

I can understand that too, but too often it's almost compulsive to some people to point prove how much of an atheist they are at any given opportunity.

I kind of view it the same as being gay. I'm certainly comfortable with myself and live an openly gay lifestyle, but I don't feel the need to break into a dating thread on here and go on a tyrade about how glorious buttsex is.

On the topic of atheists, anti-theists. These are people who believe it is wrong for people to have any theology because it goes against our normal societal evolution. While I ain't the most religious person, I definitely know this to be false. How many pieces of art-work were based on Christ? How many laws were made based on the ten commandments. Religion is yes, a set of rules and practices but it is through these rules and practices that have brought order to many societies and helped them advance. Until they met someone with opposing views, then shit got crazy.

BOT, Gnomes. Gnomes are FUCKIN scary man. They can run at 35 miles an hour, have the strength of seven men, can make people feel depressed, they are freakin' deadly! Enemy to the trolls.

I admit a liking for dragons, whether we are discussing them as celestial sages or fire-breathing monsters. Medieval bestiaries are also a hoot to read, with strange monsters such as a cow that defends itself by turning around and spraying any would-be attacker with acidic shit. Even stranger are the depictions of real animals. Did you know for instance that hyenas were believed to be androgynous and capable of breeding all by themselves?

I disagree. The only two commandments that are law are the 6th and 8th commandments (the fourth is, for some silly reason, a half observed rule, though definitely not followed), but those two were laws far before any Moses making (on a side note; those artworks were breaking the first). The Romans had a rich and vast society and before the monotheists in question arrived, the Chinese and Japanese beliefs didn't include Jesus and they were doing just fine. Theology is not religion in and of itself either. It's the study of religion, and not just the Christian religion. I don't believe society needs deific religion to function, mind you, but the study of those cultural and belief systems seems prudent.

But yes, shit got crazy. Here's an example:

I've been reading Celtic and Norse mythology and there's one thing about them that really stood out: The Norse believed that their Gods would all one day be killed, and seemed to have an attitude of "Yeah, the gods won't help make things better. You gotta look out for yourselves."

The Celtics (at least in one of the stories I read) believed that many of their gods were already dead.


I'd say the mythical individual was much better than the historical figure.

While I find Norse mythology interesting, let's not forget they all came from a giant cow licking a salt lick, and the sweat of a giant.

Also, Zeus had a thing for doing women in the shape of animals, for some reason. Like he was up on Olympus saying "oh shit guys, bet you I can turn into a duck and put a baby in that lady" and the other Gods roll their eyes and sigh as Zeus gets quackin'.

Asgardians did the whole seduce people while in animal form too. Here is a lesser known story about Odin.

There was a giant who was the inventor of all poetry by making some kind of creative mead. Odin heard of it and decided to steal it. So he turned into an eagle and flew off and seduced the giants daughter to gain entry. He gulped up all the mead and made his escape. Now barely being able to fly, because he was so full. The giant found his daughter crying and asked what she was bawling about, she pointed at the disappearing fat eagle in the distance. The giant transformed into an eagle too, a much bigger one, and pursued Odin. He soon caught up and nipped at Odin's tail feathers. Odin was so surprised he vomited. The Giant tugged again, harder, and this time Odin crapped. Now considerable lighter, Odin was able to out-speed the giant. He made it home, Thor smashed the giant and there was now poetry in Asgard. However he had also unintentionally brought poetry to humans. All the vomit that rained down on the earth is the source of good poetry and all that rained down as crap is, well, crap poetry.

Perhaps they will mention this in the next Marvel Thor movie?

One of my favorite books I read in high school was Beowulf. And before you say it-NO it isn't Christian progaganda. Christianity during this time wasn't even nearly as big as it is today to have the progaganding skills. So many great themes, glory, revenge, hubris, just brilliant. Plus he totally ripped off a mofos arm. One point I've heard about when he fights the dragon is that he did it not because he wanted to, but as king Beowulf he NEEDED to. He set himself up with doing all this awesome stuff when he was young and as an old man he needs to in order to live up to his own legend. And when he needs his men the most, they FUCKIN bail on him. A good metaphor for how some people have pride in great accomplishments their leaders have done to make up for the fact that they can't do shit. Viclaf tore those guys a new ass-hole at B's funeral. It wasn't until he was dying after his great battle that he truly understood that living your life is more important than one's legend.

For my opinions on that piece of ass movie I'll post it in the "Bad Interpretations" thread.

Long ago Santa Claus was searching the forest for wood to make toys. When suddenly he was attacked by a hideous troll! Santa was brave and managed to defeat the troll, but he was hurt and couldn't move. He lay there in the forest when suddenly a bunny rabbit hopped past him. Santa called out to the bunny for help, and the bunny collected as many bird eggs as he could find to nurse Santa back to health. Santa was saved! To show his appreciation to the bunny rabbit Santa created a special day just for the bunny rabbit and called it Easter. So now the Easter Bunny brings fancy eggs to all good boys and girls on Easter!

Speaking of rabbits, you know what I find hilarious? The Jackalope. The fact that some guy saw a rabbit with horns one day and put so much weird stuff for it's powers. Ability to mimic any sound, drinks beer, apparently carniviorous, it's just so random! By the way the rabbits with horns thing is a disease that rabbits apparently have.
