Slightly Frivolous Question

[qos]

If you or someone you knew was going to run off and become a pirate*, which deities would you be sure to make offerings to?

Obviously the sea gods would need to receive offerings on a regular basis, but beyond them who would you address and honor?







* I refer to the romantic, swashbuckling, Robin Hood-ish kind of pirate, not the evil, predatory kind.

hermes, god of commerce, thieves, and travelers.

This is what a certain niece of mine said, too. And Hades. Her logic for that was chilling. "Everybody dies sooner or later. Pirates die sooner."

Hermes was what I was thinking as well. He's the best-suited that I can think of off the top of my head. Perhaps, if you're a woman, Artemis, but that's a stranger fit.

Thank you!

I'd already thought about Herself, for that reason and others. . .

Your niece has been paying attention to the family rites, I see.

Hermes definitely makes a lot of sense.
I have a hard time seeing Artemis on the water, for some reason.
