The gods, much like the Greek goddesses of history, have very exaggerated personalities and they are plagued with personal flaws and negative emotions despite they immortality and superhero-like powers.

Inspired by seeing his plasma ball explode all on its own a few nights prior, Shazam then has a dying Hespera shrink the dome-like barrier she'd previously placed over the whole of Philadelphia. In doing so, the pair "trap" Kalypso, Ladon, and Shazam himself inside the baseball stadium – while all the city's other residents reside safely outside the impenetrable bubble. The Egyptians also performed rituals for personal goals such as protection from or healing of illness. These rituals are often called "magical" rather than religious, but they were believed to work on the same principles as temple ceremonies, evoking mythical events as the basis for the ritual.

What this means: Likely nothing. I doubt we'll ever get payoff for this scene

The humans delved far beneath the earth to find the mercy of the gods. What they found was never meant to reach the surface. Not on Midgard, nor any of the nine realms of Yggdrasil. Now their discovery wreaks havoc on their world, exploiting their technology, and leaving all in misery and decay. Through all their conquests and revelations they never stopped to consider that some things are buried for a reason. The Path of the Gods is located on the Amalfi Coast. It starts near the village of Bomerano and ends in Nocelle.

Although Byatt doesn't believe in the biblical Eden – in her view a mere fairytale, not even a myth – she begins by wistfully reviving a lost paradise. Early in the war she was evacuated from Sheffield. Sent to live in the nearby countryside, she roamed through a wild garden that consisted both of flowers and the equally florid words that named them: "Daisies. Day's eyes, she learned with a frisson of pleasure… Dandelion, dent-de-lion, lionstooth, her mother told her." This golden world clouded over when her mother presented her with a volume of Nordic religious lore. Its gloom served as a grimly truthful antidote to the cheery Christianity that kept people's spirits up and assured them that they'd see their uniformed loved ones again, in heaven if not on earth. The version of the universal narrative that Byatt found in Asgard and the Gods was unremittingly violent, its outcome inconsolably bleak. Few complete stories appear in Egyptian mythological sources. These sources often contain nothing more than allusions to the events to which they relate, and texts that contain actual narratives tell only portions of a larger story. Thus, for any given myth the Egyptians may have had only the general outlines of a story, from which fragments describing particular incidents were drawn. [24] Moreover, the gods are not well-defined characters, and the motivations for their sometimes inconsistent actions are rarely given. [31] Egyptian myths are not, therefore, fully developed tales. Their importance lay in their underlying meaning, not their characteristics as stories. Instead of coalescing into lengthy, fixed narratives, they remained highly flexible and non- dogmatic. [28]In the woods by the bank of the Rhine, the Rhinemaidens swim playfully and sing a song to the Sun, mourning their lost Rhine gold ( "Frau Sonne sendet lichte Strahlen"). Siegfried happens by, separated from the hunting party while searching for prey. The Rhinemaidens urge him to return the ring to the Rhine and thus avoid its curse, but he laughs at them in heroic pride and says he prefers to die rather than bargain for his life. They swim away, predicting that Siegfried will die this very day and that his heir, a lady, will treat them more fairly. The deadliest monster in Greek mythology and “Father of All Monsters”. Last son of Gaia, fathered by Tartarus and god of monsters, storms, and volcanoes. He challenged Zeus for control of Mount Olympus.
