It's the #DayOfZeus / Jupiter's Day / Thorsday! 
"If anyone blame me because, a skilled servant of Eros, I go to the chase, my eyes armed with birdlime to catch ladies, let him know that #Zeus and #Hades and the Lord of the Sea [#Poseidon] were slaves of violent desire. If the gods are such and they bid men follow their example, what wrong do I do in learning their deeds?"
Anthologia Graeca, Epigram 5.100

#WorldWaterDay ... #Poseidon AKA #Neptune ... The longer it takes you to get this, the more you will groan. 22 March is World Water Day. #WaterDay

So #Zeus was overcome by love and sleep, all according to plan. He was sleeping peacefully on the crest of Mount Ida where he held his wife in his arms. Meanwhile #Hypnos flew off to tell #Hera's ally #Poseidon that he could now help the Greeks and give them victory while Zeus was still sleeping.

I feel you near though I live near no sea
Great and glorious lord of the waters
King of the ocean's wide breadth
And its unfathomable depths
You who can shake the earth with your anger
And gives so freely of your gifts
Yet has been so greatly abused by mankind
Great Poseidon who bears the sacred trident
In you I am made aware of my own fragility
In you am I made aware of my fluidity
In you I am reminded that all life is connected
In you I am made to know wonder
Great Poseidon of the sailors
Great Lord of the sea-life
In your name I pray
In your name I ask that you bless the world

Documentaire France 5 : En 373 av. J.-C., la cité grecque d'Hélikè, en Achaïe, sur le litoral nord du Péloponnèse, est dévastée par un séisme. Le raz-de-marée qui suit engloutit la ville. Plusieurs auteurs antiques voient encore les ruines aux siècles suivants. Mais où est Hélikè ? L'énigme n'a été résolue que dans les années 2000. Un documentaire de 2023 sur France TV.
