Alcyone

Picture
My goddess is the goddess of the moon,the sea, calm, and tranquility.Here story is this...
Alcyone and her husband Ceyx were so madly in love that they called each other Zues and Hera. Well that did not make Zues and Hera very happy so that night Zues gave Ceyx a dream that he needed to come to Mount Olympus to discuss a subject with the gods. So the next day Ceyx told Alcyone that he would set out that day without HER. She was infuriated! She demanded that she come with him but he refused for her own saftey then he left. As he was left a big storm was starting to come in but Ceyx did not notice because Hera made it so he could not notice it no matter how hard he tried. Finally the storm came in and Ceyx was killed in a shipwreck. Artimes and Aphrodite were totally against this so they made sure that Alcyone could see her husband one last time. When Alcyone saw her husband dead on the sea shore she tried to commit suicide many times. The Gods and Goddesses were so touched by the way Alcyone was so willing to die because her husband died that they brought Ceyx back to life and turned them both into Kingfisher birds. Now for one week out of winter her father The West Wind calms the water and the wind so that his daughter Alcyone may lay her eggs in peace.

What Greek people are Alcyone like?

The reason she is sort of like Selene is because they both have some ruling of the moon.But otherwise then them Alcyone is really not like any other Greek figures.

powers and talents

The powers that Alcyone has are The Sea, The Moon, Calm, and Tranquility. Although she does not really use her powers she pretty much just has dominion over the sea moon calm and tranquility. Something you should know is that Alcyone only has dominion over the water surrounding that island she lives on and with the moon subject she only has dominion over the moon when it is fully over her island. But otherwise she has full dominion over the things calm and tranquility.

Her Symbols

The symbol that represents my goddess is the Kingfisher bird. The short story to how she got that symbol was her husband died and the goddesses athena and artimes turned me and my now living husband into Kingfisher birds.
