Or rather, Aphrodite Urania is (it is unclear if its the same goddess as the other Aphrodite).

Seriously, she seems like quite the majestic lady in this incarnation. Almost queen of the heavens kinda, considering she is older than Zeus.

The again, Oceanus is also a titan and he seems like he would be super important if it wasn't for the Greeks Mediterranean world view (making Poseidon more important because Greeks weren't too known for sailing in the Atlantic or other parts of the encircling sea).

Greek/Roman mythology thread, bitches!

She's not so much queen of the heavens as she is the embodiment of Uranus' insatiable lust. That isn't very majestic desu.

Aphrodite Urania is the same Aphrodite as the one born of Zeus and Hera, she is just given a different (probably earlier) genealogy.

Wtf dude? They started sending colonists all across the mediterranean sea from 800BC onwards.

Also poseidon was a huge fucking deal in athens, pretty much second to athena only. remember the story of how they both competed for patronage of the city and athena won because she gave them the olive tree, while he gave them a fountain?

Hi /his/

I was wondering if you could give me a starting point about British monarchs. What I'd like to research is tragic figures of British monarchy, not just kings and queens, princes and events involving them are also welcomed.

Also, is there any British monarchy (in general, before the United Kingdom, Scottish Monarchy etc etc) that were assassinated?

Any stories you can give are welcomed, thanks in advance.

When do you think is the right age to take children to see their first live ballet?

My aunt wants me to take my 4 year old cousin to see a local troupe put on Cinderella but I don't know if she's old enough or not. She does perfectly at movie theaters, knows the basic Cinderella story although she's not enamored with it like other fairy tales, and the show is 90 minutes (45 each act) with mostly teen and child dancers, so not one of the longer traditional ballets.

No. The best they could hope for was to bankrupt America and kill the desire back home to a draw.

>Perhaps it all goes back to the introduction of the NHS in England in 1948. Before then, stories of aunts and grandmothers having all their teeth removed for convenience’s sake were common, so was it the U.S. forces coming to the U.K. during WWII and seeing — thanks in part to food shortages, rationing and poor nutrition — gap-toothed deficiencies?

it also mentions the importance of cultural imagery- American celebrities have often gone to great lengths to have their teeth straightened and whitened while British ones have not.

Did the Church of England evolve the right way, lads?

Should it have stayed more Catholic like Henry VIII intended, or gone a lot more puritan like Edward and Cranmer's ideal? Was Elizabeth's settlement land on a good mix of values and customs? Or was Mary right all along to keep England Catholic?

What we have is a Church custom-tailored for our nation, which has slowly changed over the centuries.

Should Church and State be separated? Should Anglicanism remain our state religion? Are we a Christian nation? How do you feel about the Monarchy being the head of the church?

How do you feel about the shrinking number of practising Christians in this country? Studies have shown fewer and fewer people attend church. Will there be a spiritual revival in Britain any time soon?

I don't expect you to answer most of these questions, I'm just bringing them out to ponder on. Basically, talk about your views on religion in Britain

What the hell were the Allies thinking? Creating a Polish corridor through Prussia and expecting Germans to just settle with such unnecessary insult? It's as if the Allies did this to make sure Germans will start another world war. What was the motivation of this decision beyond giving the finger to the Germans and "muh givin' the Poles a corridor to the sea"?

They blanda upped with the Samnites, the Greeks, the Etruscans and the Gauls. Then they went 100 % Sweden and blanda upped with anything everywhere each day erryday.

They blended into what we now consider 'Italians'

You don't really get 'ethnic Romans' outside of pic related.

As >>2659323 implied, there were other ethnic groups on the Italian peninsula

How did these "researchers" get so ridiculously sadistic and evil?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731

>human vivisection without anesthesia
>appendages and organs cut off and reattached in different places, again without anesthesia
>infection of patients with syphilis, gonorrhoea, bubonic plague, cholera, anthrax, and tularemia under the pretense of giving them vaccinations
>intentionally inducing frostbite to study effects
>testing flamethrowers and other weapons on defenseless prisoners

And then there's this account that sums up the conditions pretty well:

>One of the former researchers I located told me that one day he had a human experiment scheduled, but there was still time to kill. So he and another unit member took the keys to the cells and opened one that housed a Chinese woman. One of the unit members raped her; the other member took the keys and opened another cell. There was a Chinese woman in there who had been used in a frostbite experiment. She had several fingers missing and her bones were black, with gangrene set in. He was about to rape her anyway, then he saw that her sex organ was festering, with pus oozing to the surface. He gave up the idea, left and locked the door, then later went on to his experimental work.

We learned a lot from those experiments though. Progress through terror I guess.
>>
And yet modern medicine came from them. If they didn't we would be stuck in the past so don't be quick to judge them as "evil". They wanted to better humanity.
>>
The gooks had a deep hatred for the Chinese people. They were even indoctrinating children to hate the Chinese also.
