Calling bystander - are you there?! Are you going to pose a questionbystander wrote:OK, I'm going to make a guess, though I still don't understand the "seven".
Ferdinand, one of the nine irregular moons of Uranus.
I would have said Rhea (daughter of Uranus - sky god - and Gaia - earth mother). But Rhea was married to Cronus, definitely not a harvest god.bystander wrote:Although one of the older gods, I am the mother of many classical gods.
Although Rhea was one of the Titans (older gods), she was the mother of Poseidon, Hades, Demeter, Hestia, Hera, and Zeus, gods of Olympus (classical gods).Cronus was usually depicted with a sickle or scythe, which was also the instrument he used to castrate and depose Uranus, his father. In Athens, on the twelfth day of the Attic month of Hekatombaion, a festival called Kronia was held in honour of Cronus to celebrate the harvest, suggesting that, as a result of his association with the virtuous Golden Age, Cronus continued to preside as a patron of harvest.

Heracles (Hercules) was the son of Zeus, but he had a mortal mother. Since Hera was the consort of Zeus, she was extremely jealous of Heracles. That relationship was the source of most of Heracles problems. Hera was trying to get rid of him.Beyond wrote:Say... weren't Hera and Zeus the parents of Hercules
I remembered the part about trying to get rid of him, but i forgot about the mortal mother for some reason. Too many years of no Hercules shows, i guess.bystander wrote:Heracles (Hercules) was the son of Zeus, but he had a mortal mother.
