the disowned child: chronicles of unleashed divine bloodlust

Introduction

Further, note how myths written in antiquity were followed by centuries of subsequent myth-making. Thus, in this myth, we find an essential similarity between mankind’s anthropomorphic perception of gods and the gods’ taking (or ‘marrying’) of human forms. As a Rosemary H. G, a guardian in Gorvan, indicates, what we discover when we search is ‘the soul of the hero’s journey’.

Universal to different cultures is the fact of divine ancestry. Depending on whichever mythology (Polytheistic or otherwise) one looks into, a divine Ascendance is all the more a crowned head than a common person. Looking at these children, or rather at their exclusion from traditional approaches towards such children, WR should quench descriptive yearning very soon. There is ample shedding of tears, blood, and bodies that crossed the sea mostly in one direction somewhere in history. Instead, as in the narrative, ‘will they be willing to suffer human sin and many evils for a time and do nothing till the time came for them to do what is necessary?’ Going by the narrative, the promoters of culture and obstacles seemingly have to bide their time and nerves.

The Historical Context of Unleashed Divine Bloodlust

The theme of divine bloodlust also exists within many of the religious and mythological texts of antiquity. Such stories of the wayward divine children returning to Earth and causing destruction have been commonplace across many societies underpinning the hopes and fears people had.

An illustration is given in the Norse Mythology of humiliation dealt to the offspring of Loki’s children such as Fenrir the wolf. Exiled and hated, they possess the ability to bring forth Ragnarok which means destruction of the world and hence destruction brought about by divine bloodlust. It is the same case of the example given in Hinduism where the examples of stories of Ravana and his brothers-in-law who came from God acting in a divine characteristic were some helping : but my brothers instead wallowing in fury and greed show the connections between god and a creature.

Psychological Analysis of Being Disowned

The aspect of being disowned and in particular being cut off from the parent who is often the god follows the deep psyche. Lacking parental attention or rejection is one of the things that can evoke a feeling of deficiency and emotional resentment in someone as well as longing for some appreciation. However, in the instances when the parent forms part of the Thirty, the vicious effect of these emotions portrays all the mixed moods with the child and the ability making a more volatile mix.

In many cultures, these were the children who were the Gods but were disowned and in quest for identity. The do not fully belong to the mortal side neither the divine but they are in between which only makes them feel more detached from the community. Many will portray this aspect of alienation directed inwards which mostly leads to violence and destruction.

Literary and Pop Culture References

Contemporary literature, cinema and television have appropriated and redefined the themes of the rejected and abandoned godly offspring which seem to be in sync with modernity. Such now stories still show diversities associated with divine blood and the impact of such disavowals.

Rick Riordan in the “Percy Jackson” series captures the experience of the main character and his friends, all reverses of gods, trying to reconcile all expectations with their level of being gods’ offspring. Their journeys are characterized with heroes but also with losses and can be said to mirror the age old story of the gods’ children.

Moral Inspection and Ethical Considerations

One such encouraging emphasis within oneself is the existence of divine bloodlust. The monstrous powers possessed by these ostracized off springs come with a great deal of responsibility. Their rage and absolute rejection make them agents in a chain of events that causes havoc and immeasurable pain.

Such stories lead us to think about moral issues related to power and responsibility. The divine child who is cast out is not the only one with supernatural powers and therefore obligations. Their blames-seeking and avenging behaviours make their push for justification difficult to ascertain or even obtain.

Conclusion

The deeds of ousted outstanding youth, especially in the scope of their appalling unguided bloodletting, sass more meaning to human life. These myths even appearing in ancient texts are active themes in current literature and pop activities and investigate the nature of identity,its intersection with power and responsibilities.
