On Mount Cyllene (Greece), the god Hermes fell in love with Penelopeia, disguising himself as a shepherd to win her love.

Mari (Mother) is considered the Mother Goddess of Basque Mythology.
She controls nature, winds and storms, and lives in the mountains.
Her most well known dwelling is the Cave of Anboto Mountain.
Adorned in red that looks like "fire" or appears as a thunderbolt, her departures from her cave are accompanied by storms or droughts, and which cave she lives in at different times will determine dry or wet weather.
Wet when she is in Anboto, and dry when she is elsewhere.

The Cornucopia
The Cornucopia AKA "The Horn of Plenty" is an ancient European symbol of abundance. It may have found its origins in goats or Aurochs horns. The Modern image is known from the myth of Infant Zeus being cared for by Amalthea a nourishing Goat goddess. Who broke off one of her horns which provided unlimited nourishment. However the image of the Cornucopia is much older appearing in a 13K year old stone carving in France alongside a goddess figure. Or the Thousands year old depiction of the god Svetovid. Indicating that it is much older than it first appears. Other goddesses such as Abundantia and Fortuna are also depicted with the Cornucopia and the symbol has grown a life of its own. Being depicted in all manners of forms including as a coat of arms. Medieval Monks would often depict Mother Earth with a Cornucopia in Illuminations, The personification of Summer often holds one, and in America it is one of the symbols of Thanksgiving. A time of gratitude for kin and the time of plenty. -TLK

This years-long snowfall will end all life on Earth, paving the way for the gods to wage war, and as the dust settles, new life is born marking the dawn of a new age.
Afterward, the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and returning gods will meet, and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors… Lif and Lifthrasir.
