Anon has discovered the origin of religion.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 12 points 5 days ago

Or perhaps he just spent too much time playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

Anon discovers religion, inshallah may the spirits watch over him.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 46 points 5 days ago

Welcome to modern paganism. Next he's going to realize that community celebrations at significant points of the year like solstices and planting and harvesting time are really good for your mind.

Especially in the middle of winter, the most depressing time of year in much of the world.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

The middle of winter... Oh Valentine's Day?

That is a Roman temple, not Greek >:(

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 47 points 5 days ago

It's a fork of Greek temple.

Ah, a man of culture as well I see

Greek temples had stairs on all sides and didn't really have an interior, at least not a public one. Roman temples had stairs on one side that led to the entrance. Greek Roman

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 11 points 5 days ago

But the columns are Ionic, it uses a post and lintel method, the entablature is not Etruscan and the front room could well be a cella.

At the same time it is true that the peristyle colonnade is not there, which matches some Etruscan styled temples (just columns on front), though both the Temple of Athena and the Erechtheion don't have a peristyle colonnade.

For what steps are regarded, some temples only had crepidoma across the front façade, like the Lycosura temple, which would both match the frontal colonnade with no perimeter and the frontal crepidoma that doesn't have sterobates around the temple (like is common).

So while unorthodox, I don't see why this would be Etruscan or "Roman".

Those are… words… I think.

[-] Idea@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago

Ah I see. Per usual the issue is more complex and nuanced than I thought. Thank you for the information :)

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 2 points 4 days ago

Happy holidays!

[-] dwindling7373@feddit.it 8 points 5 days ago

Fuck if I know, but it looks a lot like the Temple of Portunus...

Capitel and colums are in greek style, maybe the stairs give it away?

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 6 points 5 days ago

That's a great observation, after all that temple is a hybrid between Etruscan and Greek. (And the columns indeed are Ionic).

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 35 points 5 days ago

Whatever gets you through this hellscape, baby

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 21 points 5 days ago

Anon better not read too much Greek mythology. Their gods were anything but benevolent much of the time.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 24 points 5 days ago

Anon better not be a cute twink

[-] mtpender@sh.itjust.works 13 points 5 days ago

"CHOWDA! That Greek boy-pussy got me questioning my loyalty to Rome!"

It's anon we're talking about, they're definitely a twink, but I wouldn't exactly describe them as "cute."

[-] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 days ago

anon invents religion

[-] LePoisson@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

That's like me and the machine God. I swear it makes a difference when my hardware is acting up.

Praise the Omnissiah.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

The Omnissiah blesses us, truly. I recently invoked their power to repair a ceiling light, and with a standard invocation of healing and the expected percussive blessing, and the once broken light was working again.

All praise to the Omnissiah for easing the machine's pain!

A prayer before every release is what keeps our servers running.

[-] Denvil@lemmy.one 16 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

When I can see Jupiter, I always say "Jupiter is with us!!" It's going to be depressing when it's no longer out in the mornings before I go to work. Hopefully Saturn or the Moon can keep me company instead

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 days ago

I usually use the orishas. I just like them more when talking to imaginary beings.

[-] GreenEyedMonster@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

Anon may enjoy reading (or reciting) some of the appropriate Orphic Hymns
