- Arcesius, on 10/12/2007, -6/+34I never realized how terribly incestuous the Greek gods are. So many brothers and sisters, mothers and sons, cousins, second-cousins. I'm just surprised Rudy Guliani isn't somewhere in there.
- resplence, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Isn't it odd that Eros, "the primordial god responsible for lust, love, and sex; also worshiped as a fertility deity", never had any children?
- TheBritishGuy1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Some crazy incest going on there...
- tacojohn48, on 10/12/2007, -15/+25Did anyone else read that as geek gods?
- shifty2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7one branch tree, eh?
- Wildthing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Site down and duggmirror didn't catch it? This is Madness!
- guimonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7@hockey you should try it, your sister is quite the minx.
- ThePict, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6short bus, eh?
- jon02129, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8@ flaw: It automagically links the mirrored story.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12You didn't pay attention in literature class did you? The Greeks were the original mountain folks/rednecks.
- hackwrench, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Well that cinches it, the Greek Gods really do exist!
- tracyfm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Anyone got a mirror? Can't open site. I really want to see this.
- FlapJaw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4God damn, Zeus was a player!
- avidday, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4So let's get this straight with the worst offenders:
Zeus had 4 kids among 2 sisters, 2 kids with a 1st cousin, 1 kid with a 2nd cousin...
Hermes had 5 kids with his sister and 1 with his aunt...
but those are nothing compared to:
Uranus, who had 11 kids with his mom...
Greek gods were a sick bunch - astatine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Careful with that punctuation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_tree_of_the_Greek_gods - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Wait a second, I didn't see Kratos listed anywhere on that chart.
- brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3So I'm guessing it's a family tree that doesn't fork?
annnnd it's toast
annnnnd duggmirror didn't get it. duggmirror is getting more and more useless by the day
http://web.archive.org/web/20060429103921/http://ludios.org/science/greekgods/image - woxidu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I mean... right... about a dozen or more people have probably already thought of using the duggmirror but /checked/ it before posting it... nice try though...
- grve, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4well if you want a nice sff reply: mythological gods are not human, so i doubt family ties are comparable, when it comes to humans incest is wrong because of poor resulting genetic diversity, this might not apply other species like greek gods, their genetic makeup is most likely amorphous and mutating/rewriting itself over time
there happy now :) - iRoy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8wheres kratos?
- jhw549, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I filed it under General Sciences because I felt it was included in Social Sciences... To be quite honest I couldn't think of a better place to put it...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@shawbin
I'd say they probably used wither Visio or Kivio or something similar (Visio for the Windows world, Kivio for the GNU/Linux set). - cyrix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Google cache worked for me, but even it is REALLY SLOW.
edit: nvm the image isn't coming up now. Sorry, link removed. - hockey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2genetic diversity aside dude there's no way I'm making out with my sister.
- kdehead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2the foundations of modern science (logic, experiment, theories, etc) were all laid down by the ancient Greeks. so , i guess something like this would fit into the "science" category.
- mandel15, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3***** I did... lol I though it was going to be some kind of joke.
- fantasticFlan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Social science
- AmidTheSnow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I knew Zeus got around, but I didn't remember that he got it on with Demeter.
- stargatesteve, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4here's a link to the internet archive version. slightly faster than the google cache for me:
http://web.archive.org/web/20060602173909/http://ludios.org/science/greekgods/image - haveacigar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Thats interesting. I always thought that zeus was the head/first god.. but tracing it back it turns out his grandparents were mother and son... *shudder*
- friegh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1When I was a freshman in college there were these shirts that said "Greek Life". A promotion to get freshmen to join fraternities and sororities. I thought they said "Geek Life", so to my surprise when I asked someone about it, they politely replied, Greek life, not Geek life. I was disappointed. I was really hoping that there would be some kind of geek community where people got together and talked about their exciting weekend up upgrading the ram in their computer so they could own at CS! :)
- PatBateman75, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Great resources for heavy metal bands in search of a name
- dorxincandeland, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2site is toast.
- krabat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thanks! I printed out a huge copy for my wall!
- shawbin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've tried to make genealogies before of different things like this, but I could never figure out a good way to do it when there were these types of incestuous relationships (and different wives, etc.) Does anyone know what program they might have used to make this?
- RobotCitizen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Cool. Monotheism seems really boring in comparison.
- ceoandpresident, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Or Hedge Funds..
- kdehead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1awesome. thanks. i'm teaching my daughter about the Greek gods and the legends of Ulysees, Troy, Perseus and Hercules. She gets none of that at (UK) school nowadays, so this helps. Thanks! really appreciate it.
- brada33928, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wish I was Greek.
- grve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1guimonkey, father to son talk right? :)
- kdehead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1scientists usually have a grounding in a study of the classical world. Greek/Roman. language, culture, religion - and what their discoveries were. So , this helps. You cant understand say Aristotle or Pythagorus without understanding their culture.
Ever hear about the Ionan renaissance or the Library of Alexandria? Both were crucial in the development of science.
watch Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" tv series and you understand what i'm on about. - jhw549, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No Problem, I'm really glad so many people are enjoying it ^_^
- kdehead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1and its a great way to get kids into science/ancient history and lots of other topics. my daughter is fascinated by these ancient Greek stories, and now wants to learn the Greek alphabet (used in astronomy), and wants to find out more about Troy and the battle of Thermopayle (ancient history), and a bit of modern Greek (languages...)
the Greek gods is just a very useful jumping off point. It gets the imagination stirring - these alien and ancient myths and legends. - PooPsnooP, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How does this fall under the category of "Science"?
- usherzx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2thanks for killing it guys, can't you all just take turns looking at it...at least until duggmirror grabs it?
:( - MrReliable, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1So let me get this straight, Zeus had a relationship with two of his sisters? Nasty...
