Now I'm not sure if this was intentional or not but.... What would a Roman Goddess being doing in a tale that includes the Greek Mount Olympus?
I could have gone with Aphrodite, sure. Strictly, speaking, though, the Roman gods were based/integrated with the Greek ones, so they would, admittedly, share a similar home (although also, as a counter point, they did spend more time hanging out around Rome).
The Roman versions of the myths never exclusively say that Mount Olympus was no longer their home, though.
Hrm. Are we gonna see Mithros in this, then?
Depends on how I feel...
Do you mean Mithras?
I thought he meant these...

Then again, if that were the case, this would be the legend of Mount Vesuvius.

Nice. ;)
Ew! Now everything's all sticky!
I don't think Mithras, but I did read somewhere about someone who was revered some years before Christ as having risen from the dead, been born of a virgin, and ascended into heaven, amongst other surprisingly familiar list of achievements.
It might have been, but I can't find the reference, now...
quite a few gnostic cults had myths where an emissary of the Godhead would sacrifice himself to save the imperfect world from the Demiurge; and they usually abound with all sorts of not actually created myths, so virgin birth might enter its way in through that door.
llearch: Sounds like a version of Mithras, yeah.
All this makes me question on what this has to do with Bunny. It's like the Bard just hijacked the story line.
I suppose this will all make sense sooner or later, since I'm not seeing the connection at this current point in the story line.
It will all become clear.
