This design is a blue variant of the original terracotta 12 olympians design. (Other colours, sizes and orientations are available on request.) It currently features the same sports but may alternatively feature winter sports. The norse gods would certainly give the greek gods some competition. There are 12 Greek gods and goddesses traditionally regarded as the olympians - for their alleged habit of hanging around Mount Olympus. These gods were not actually invited to take part at the ancient olympics themselves; and would undoubtedly have cheated outrageously if they had turned up. However, some of them have aspects which do fit well with various olympic sports that have existed over the centuries. • Aphrodite (Venus) = sailing | figure skating • Apollo (same Roman name) = chariot | dog sled • Ares (Mars) = wrestling | ice hockey • Artemis (Diana) = archery | military patrol • Athena (Minerva) = fencing | winter pentathlon • Demeter (Ceres) = cycling | ??? • Dionysus (Pan) = partying | apres ski • Hephaestus (Vulcan) = hammer | ??? • Hera (Juno) = discus | curling • Hermes (Mercury) = running | speed skating • Poseidon (Neptune) = swimming | ??? • Zeus (Jupiter) = javelin | ??? … See my profile index or tags for similar designs: • arctic [by palette] (http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/sef?shop_selection=tag&tag=arctic) • olympians (http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/sef?shop_selection=tag&tag=olympians) • mythology (http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/sef?shop_selection=tag&tag=mythology)
