Thank you so much for your words you guys!

I studied history to I’m a bit subjective as to what I consider interesting LOL.

Anyway, I’m always searching for new themes and stuff that might interest people – I’m not very good at “the latest fashion thing” – and sometimes I’m a bit lost at what people are looking for or would like to have in their games.

So it’s very good to receive feed-back from you (specially such a nice one) :lol:

Maybe you could give me some ideas ?

Hugs all !

They're amazing. But you know, Cupid wasn't one of the Olympian Gods. And they weren't too many, just 12.

Very nice!

Although I have to nitpick that Athena was, in all technicality, the daughter of Zeus AND Metis, Zeus's first wife. However, upon being given the prophecy that his firstborn son would overthrow him as he had his own father, he swallowed Metis whole. She was pregnant with Athena at the time, and when the child was born, she pushed her upward to Zeus's skull. However, since in that age women were seen merely as the vessel for which to carry the fetus (made entirely from the male), she was rarely acknowledged as Athena's mother.

Also, you have Eros's names switched, Cupid was his Roman name. :D

Anyways, sorry for my babble. These really do look wonderful!

Κυπιδος or Κουπιδος is a very rare but perfectly Hellenic alternate name for Eros or Antieros (in this case the other Eros that is spurious).

Metis, on the otherhand, is every bit as obscure a reference, yet I find that Metis gets more coverage these days than she ever did in antiquity.  Frankly, most reference works from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries omit her entirely.  Prolly has more to do with Wicca than good scholarship.

Post by: malthaussen on April 23, 2007, 09:51:45 am
I'm puzzled.  I d/l'd the separate parts for Athene, put them in their proper places (I have done this before), and she does not show up in BodyShop.  The clothing, hair, and mask all work, but the package "af_atl Athena by Alex" contains only the clothing, according to the Clean Installer.

Since I was mainly interested in seeing what you'd done with her face, this is disappointing.

The same condition obtains for Aphrodite: parts all present, no Sim.  I have only Uni and NL installed: might this be the problem?

OMG, Alexasrosa - some of your most phenomenal work I think, but I have downloaded most of what you've made so far and I have never been disappointed. In fact I am usually surprised because everything looks so much better in the game than the screenshots show us. Thank you very much for your time and energy devoted to your creations, and for sharing them us!

Post by: manfedmedviq on August 22, 2007, 10:53:02 am
your set is fantastic, i'm going to download them all.
BTW it's sad that you forgot the other must important gods of olympus, Poseidon and Hades.

and Eros mythos is really strange, it started as a deity older than the gods and then is degraded as son of Aphrodite.
