It's the #DayOfHelios / Sol's Day / #Sunday! ☀️

"Against Phineus once on a time was the Titan Phaethon [Helios] angered, wroth for the victory of [Phineus] the prophet of Phoibos [Apollon], and robbed him of his sight and sent the shameless Harpies, a winged race to dwell with him to his sorrow."
Oppian, Cynegetica 2.615

🏛️ Helios bust, 2nd century CE, Ancient Agora Museum

Have a joyful #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇

"[Pentheus] was seen by the Maenads more than he saw them, for sitting on high he was all but apparent, and the stranger was no longer anywhere to be seen when a voice, #Dionysos as I guess, cried out from the air: ‘Young women, I bring the one who has made you and me and my rites a laughing-stock. Now punish him!’"
Euripides, Bacchae 990

🏛 Pentheus' death, red-figure kylix, ca. 480 BCE

"Gion Matsuri and Japanese Festivals": Cerritos College (Los Angeles) Study Abroad in Kyōto, July 15, 2025

This might be the most gorgeous slideshow you ever see, informative as well about the Gion festival and Kyōto. Japanese festivals are above all presented as Shintō rituals. The Gion Matsuri began in 869 to ward off epidemics, but was ironically canceled during the recent pandemic. Longtime research and insider experiences in Japanese, with guidance by a Gion festival leader, culminate in fascinating information and annotated photos.

Trying to find a nonbinary equivalent to incubus/succubus for D&D, I looked up the etymology.

Both prefixes are from Latin: "suc-" meaning "under," "in-" meaning "over," and the Latin root "cubare" meaning "to lie down."

Following that, I'd propose a nonbinary fiend of similar type would be a concubus, as "con-" is a Latin root meaning "beside."

Because you shouldn't have to conform to the gender binary to be a soul-stealing, umm... actually nvm.

"Enough,’ said she, ‘I'll never move till you are forced away!’ ‘A bargain!’ cried the god and with his magic wand, opened the door. [...] She did not try to speak, nor, had she tried, was way still left for words. Her throat, mouth, lips were hardened into stone."
Ovid, Metamorphoses 2.708

Have a courageous Day of Ares aka Mars' Day aka Tuesday 🗡️

"She turned her round eyes delighted in all directions; only the boars she would not watch in their pleasures, for being a prophet she knew, that in the shape of a wild boar, #Ares with jagged tusk and spitting deadly poison was destined to weave fate for Adonis in jealous madness."
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 42.1

It's the Day of Selene / Luna's Day / #Monday! 🌛

"Selene, horned driver of cattle! Now I am both--I have horns and I ride a bull!’ So he called out boasting to the round Moon. #Selene looked with a jealous eye through the air, to see how Ampleos rode on the murderous marauding bull. She sent him a cattlechasing gadfly [it threw him off & gorged him to death]."
Nonnus, Dionysiaca

🏛️ 1st century CE, now at British Museum
