Trophonius

Trophonius (/tr;;fo;ni;s/; Ancient Greek: ;;;;;;;;; Troph;nios) was a Greek hero or daimon or god—it was never certain which one—with a rich mythological tradition and an oracular cult at Lebadaea (;;;;;;;;; Levadia or Livadeia) in Boeotia, Greece.

The name is derived from ;;;;; trepho, "to nourish". Strabo and several inscriptions refer to him as Zeus Trephonios. Several other chthonic Zeuses are known from the Greek world, including Zeus ;;;;;;;;; Meilikhios ("honeyed" or "kindly" Zeus), and Zeus ;;;;;;; Chthonios ("Zeus beneath-the-earth"), which were other names for Hades.

Similar constructions are also found in the Roman world. For example, a shrine at Lavinium in Lazio was dedicated to Aeneas under the title Iuppiter Indiges (Jupiter in-the-earth).

The darkness
Of the Earth
And its countless treasures,
Its depth immeasured
And an expression
Of masculinity
Under the horizon
Of the nature,
It shows the infinity
Of instincts
And complications.
