Hello everyone how’s it going?
I bet that your Friday is awesome right now
and now we’ll be covering Sylvanus God of
nature, wild life trees and things that nature.
Bio & Features
Just as he is seen in Smite Sylvanus is a
bearded but incredibly gleeful old man.
He loves to play a Syrinx or pan flute (also
seen in smite) and it is a scared instrument
to him.
Now some believed old Sylvanus to have the
face of a man, but having a bit more Cernunnos
still goat action going with goat arms and
legs.
No there no fanfictions, let’s leave that
in the nightmares shall we.
Sometimes old Sylvies is a bit nude whilst
others he dons a rustic garb which touches
his knees.
Purpose
Sylvanus protects many and any form of plant
life from large forests to small flowers it’s
all good stuff to him and he gets a special
kick out of watching trees grow wild.
A watcher of fields and protector of cattle
from even the most cunning and hungry of wolves
encouraging their fertility.
Anything natural if it exists Sylvanus will
shield it from harm and nurture it in one
way or another.
Relationships
Cyparissus is up for first for beings that
Sylvanus may have a history with.
I say may because it could have been Apollo
or even possibly Zephyr that might have been
the God in story.
But Cyparissus was a young chap and son of
Telephus more on him in Hercules’ video
or Heracles.
Any who this Cyparissus was quite close to
Sylvanus, some might say too close and the
nature God gave the boy a stag as a gift who
Cyparissus killed horribly and accidentally.
Stricken by grief he died say some others
say that Gods grew sick of his tears and transformed
him into a Cyprus tree to encapsulate his
mourning but also immortality.
Pomona Goddess of abundances and a wood nymph
is up second and Silvanus as well as the first
king of Latium and a son of Saturn both tried
to work some magic’s on her.
Whist Sylvanus was rejected quite quickly
Picus was turned into a woodpecker first.
The roman shapeshifter God Vertumnus ended
up being the lucky deity who married her after
turning into an old lady tricking Pomona.
He then swiftly charmed her and well that
was that.
Now as far as worship was concerned for Sylvanus
he was no fan of massive temples or great
displays of adoration.
Typically Shepherds or sought of nature men
would offer prayer to Sylvanus.
And when say men I mean exclusively men this
was sought of a no girls allowed, sausage
fest sought of worship.
Sylvanus’ family tree is a bit of an unknown
to say least, perhaps he was the son of Faunus.
A God of nature himself; others say that Faunus
and Pan (another nature deity) were one in
the same.
This was the father of Latinus, King of the
Latins and a satyr just like Cernunnos and
Pan; though Pan might just be the greek version
of Faunus.
