Some Lesser-Known Greek Gods ...

I came across this again after many years, and thought it's too good to keep to myself:

Some Lesser-Known Greek Gods (by way of Merl Reagle of the Los Angeles Times)

Manacles, god of bondage

Envelope, goddess of mail

Millipedes, god of crawly things

Telephone, goddess of gabbing

Gametes, god of new beginnings

Receptacles, god of trash control

Amperes, god of electricity

Cellophanes, god of freshness

Erudite, goddess of learning

Follicles, god of good hair days (surely the one in the picture above!)

Vestibules, god of passageways

Limeades, god of tangy drinks

Tomatocrates, god of truck-farmers

Antibias, god of equal opportunity

Funny. I just discovered that the Greek yogurt I like names the varieties after gods and goddesses. For at least a couple of years I've been calling it green label or gold label. Now I can look for Artemis.
