Reply:The dog's name was Cerberus and the Greek God was Hades.
Reply:The dog's name is Cereberus (cute thing that he is) and the Greek God of the Underworld is Hades (married to Persephone, daughter of Demeter). Have a good one, dearheart.
Reply:"In Greek mythology, Cerberus or Kerberos (Greek Κέρβερος, Kerberos, demon of the pit), was the hound of Hades—a monstrous three-headed dog (sometimes said to have 50 or 100 heads) with a snake for a tail and serpentine mane.





He guarded the gate to Hades (the Greek underworld) and ensured that the dead could not leave and the living could not enter. His brother was Orthrus. He is the offspring of Echidna and Typhon."

What is a good name for a theme park that has to do with the Odyssey and Greek Mythology?

For an english project, I need to make a theme park like Disney World. Our theme is the Odyssey because we just read that. It also has to do with Greek mythology.

You could have some terrifying "plummet-into-the-water" ride called "Scylla and Charybdis"





There already is a Greek Myth themed park in Wisconsin Dells called Mt. Olympus. They have a massive Trojan Horse visible from the road.

Do you think the name Knoss could be Greek?

If so, where can I find information on it? My family has never been able to trace the name, we thought it might be German (ponounced n aw s), but it just came up in my Greek notes (palace at Knossos). If it was Greek it would be K-n-oh-s There is no trace of the name on any of the genealogy websites.

Do you think the name Knoss could be Greek?
It's more likely the Austrian and Bohemian Knaus...though there was one immigrant from Frankfurt Germany in 1906 named Georg Knoss...but the spelling Georg would lend credence to him having been of Austrian descent.





It's not Greek, though. I've looked through all immigration records from Greece and there's nothing remotely close to it.
Reply:???


I find many of the name in the social security death index, some in rootsweb's files, and MANY in the indexes at familysearch.org.


Many in the 1880 census are misspelled as Noss. Other entries (church extractions) show up in Germany/Prussia, and other places as well.


If you are in the US, your preliminary steps would be birth and death certificates, then census records if the family was in the US by 1930. I am seeing that there are early Knoss families linked to PA (which could very well suggest Germany).


If you have an ancestor with some specific names and places in the US, you could try posting it here, and see what people can find. Many of the common genealogy sites rely strictly on submitted databases from other persons, and ignore indexes of original records.
Reply:sorry ,cant help you on that one.
Reply:i would agree with you. As I was reading this I was thinking of Knossos, it may very well be possible...for example my last name (Martin) is English.

How do I write the name 'Therese' in greek alphabet?

It's pronounced as 'Tur-ehz'

How do I write the name 'Therese' in greek alphabet?
Τερέζα.
Reply:ΤΡΕΣΣΑ. Hope this helps you,this is the best to my knowledge,Im sure that you will make yourself understood,besides the greek alphabet its very different to English,and it is also very difficult,as lots of countries have the same letters as the English,but Greeks have their own,For ex.the letter that looks like a p is actually an R in English.


Anyway good luck,and you will be appreciated for trying.
Reply:You write ΤΕΡΕΖ ( Therez ), but I have to tell you that in greek the name Therese is ΤΕΡΕΖΑ ( Thereza ).


Also, years ago, the name Therese was in greek ΘΗΡΕΣΙΑ ( Thiresiia ). That was a form of somehow translating the name in greek language since it is not originally greek.
Reply:The exact equivalent would be "Τερέζ" but here in Greece, we use "Τερέζα" (Theresa) instead, like Katerina said.





Τουρέζ or ΤΡΕΣΣΑ that other users suggested are not correct.
Reply:ΤΟΥΡΕΖ- τουρέζ as it pronounce


but this name in greek is


ΤΕΡΕΖΑ-Τερέζα
Reply:Τερέζα/TEPEZA is the greek version of it (Tereza) cheers

Reply:Galactoboureko: Greek Filled Custard Dessert





1 Box filo


2 Sticks butter melted or more





Custard





1 qt Milk


5 Eggs


1/2 c Farina cereal


1/2 c sugar





Syrup





1/2 c Sugar


1/2 c Water


1/2 c Honey


Grated zest from a lemon or an orange








First make the custard: scald milk, remove from heat, add sugar and farina and beat together well. Return to heat until thickened. Remove from heat.





Beat eggs well in separate bowl. Using beater, slowly mix some of the hot milk mixture into egg mixture on medium speed. Then add all egg mixture into milk mixture and blend well. Slowly cook mixture on low heat, stirring constantly until thick, about 20 minutes. Take care with the custard - it will curdle if the addition of the egg is not handled carefully. Cool completely and chill. Mixture will be thick and creamy.





Assemble: butter 6 whole filo sheets and overlap each in a buttered 9 x 13 pan so part of filo laps over edges of pan. Spread on all of filling. Flip edges of filo over to cover filling. Cover with 6 more buttered filo sheets and overlap and cover as before.Work quickly so filo doesn't dry out. Score 2/3rds through filo prior to baking. Bake in a 350 oven for 20 to 30 minutes or golden. Prepare the syrup by boiling all for 10 minutes. Pour hot syrup over cooled pastry. This is a very special Greek pastry.

What is the Roman name for the greek guy daedalus

i can't find it anywhere and i need it soon!

What is the Roman name for the greek guy daedalus
Daedalus IS the latin (Roman) name. The Greek version is Daidalos.


What is the roman name for the greek hero jason?

it was iason (iason, iasonis), the original latin alphabet lacked the letter j, so the romans didnt use it.


(they didnt even have the g before the III century b.c.)


so pantherpaw's edition of ovid's metamorphoses is either in english or not very accurate... i think the letter j appears after the V century a.d.

What is the roman name for the greek hero jason?
I believe they also simply referred to him as Jason. I Believe that is how it was in Gaius Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica which was a Latin version of the Greek Myth.


Also, I just look it up in my copy of Ovid's Metamorphoses, which is a Latin work, and they refer to him solely as Jason.


Yeah, my version of Ovid is in English. I thought the asker was looking for something along the lines of Hercules vs. Heracles or Zeus vs. Jupiter. If not then my mistake, and go with maroc's response.
