Misc Mythology questions

[Hellbeast1]

1. Why is Apollo only Planet Level? Now before i make myself look like an idiot i understand this was downgraded because the Greeks didn't quite know how large the universe is but it is stated Apollo has created constellations (thus fitting the criteria for 5A) This would scale to the other Olympians making a good deal of them Multi Planet while the top tiers are Low 4C to 4C with Zeus of course being High 4C to 4B.

2. One thing i find strange is why is Fenrir only Moon Level? Logically Fenrir should scale to Odin who is 4B as he is able to fight on even ground with and eventually kill Odin at Ragnarok(Odin is 4B)

A lot of our mythology profiles are horrible.

Wasn't there supposed to be a Mythology revision?

It is imperative that we have good pages for mythologies due to their historical significance. Matthew has an excellent blog on various mythologies, but it seems no changes were made to the relevant profiles; I propse we use his blog to rectify the situation.

However, we have a problem. It seems many mythologies (especially Norse) really like to state that such-and-such a god is the most powerful god, only to have him be defeated by one other god or give the same distinction to another god. Still, Matt's blog has plenty of excerpts with actual feats, so we can use those instead of scaling should the need arise.

About Norse Mythology:

Thor is the strongest God physically, but Odin is the most powerful due to being an incredibly powerful Reality Warper / Mage, and wielding Gungnir.

Ohhh, I get it! Thanks! By the way, was there really anything preventing all those changes being made in the first place? From what I know of mythology (mainly Greek, though I'm hardly an expert) they all looked solid to me. Maybe a good Final Tally is in order.

We need a thread to remake Norse and Greek Mythology, but I do have certain issues, like the size of the cosmology which can be very inconsistent (Like, using a 3-A Universe for Greek Mythology wouldn't be unreasonable given certain concepts from ancient greek philosophy), and the myths are consistent too.

For instance, Apollo and Poseidon being equal in one myth, but both Poseidon and Hades being stated to be equal to Zeus in various poems. Granted, any statement of either being equal to Zeus kinda falls flat given what happens in the Iliad, where Zeus is casually >>>> Everyone else.

I am uncertain on that feat, tho, and also Oceanus' feat of flooding the universe. Those two would make virtually every Olympian 4-B.

I think a normal-sized universe for Greek mythology would be reasonable, but I do need to brush up on my mythology. After we determine the size of the universe for each mythology, I say we first update the profiles based on feats and then make a separate thread to determine who scales to whom. So in other words, this may be the best way to repair each verse:

Step 1: Determine size of the mythology's universe.

Step 2: Update profiles according to feats.

Step 3: Determine who scales to whom and then update profiles again accordingly.

When the matter of DMC is dealt with, would you like me to help you in repairing some mythology profiles sometime? I've got other things to help other users with in the near future, but I think I may have some books on Greek culture that could be useful for you.
