Dagon was the father of the gods in ancient Syria, as well as a god of fertility, prosperity, and kingship. Because his name sounds similar to the Hebrew word for "fish," Dagon is mistakenly called a sea god in medieval texts, and gets reinvented as a fish-like demon.

Did you think Christopher Nolan's #Odyssey lacked sex? Were you disappointed that the "Nobody" scene wasn't in there?
Do I have news for you!
This version of the Cyclops encounter has 100% sex, 0% violence, and I still managed to fit the "Nobody" scene.

hey #askfedi
does anyone know any female characters in any folklore or mythology that are invincible, in the sense that they shrug off lethal wounds and come out of situations that should have killed them, and can survive anything? i am writing a poem about a person i know who's like that and need some inspiration. thank you

I just realized that I have the perfect anti-AI story:
King Cormac and the Silver Branch
It's an Irish legend about a wise king who is visited by a mysterious otherworldly stranger bearing a silver branch with golden apples. Shaking the branch produces such a wonderful music that people immediately forget their pain and sorrows and daily worries.
King Cormac covets the branch, and is willing to pay whatever price the stranger sets for it.

In Irish folklore, the Fomorians are demonic beings who come from the sea to battle the divine Tuatha Dé Danann for control of Ireland. Many Fomorians have a monstrous appearance, such as the head of a goat or only one eye, arm, and leg. However, some are beautiful.
