Lyssa Description[edit] She personifies mad rage and frenzy, as well as rabies in animals. In Herakles she is called upon by Hera to inflict the hero Heracles with insanity. In this scenario she is shown to take a temperate, measured approach to her role, professing "not to use [her powers] in anger against friends, nor [to] have any joy in visiting the homes of men." She counsels Iris, who wishes to carry out Hera's command, against targeting Heracles but, after failing to persuade, bows to the orders of the superior goddess and sends him into a mad rage that causes him to murder his wife and children.[1] Greek vase-paintings of the period indicate her involvement in the myth of Aktaion, the hunter torn apart by his own, maddened dogs as a punishment for looking on the naked form of the goddess Artemis.

Russian science fiction and fantasy Science fiction and fantasy have been part of mainstream Russian literature since the 19th century. Russian fantasy developed from the centuries-old traditions of Russian mythology and folklore. Russian science fiction emerged in the mid-19th century and rose to its golden age during Soviet era, both in cinema and literature, with writers like Strugatsky brothers, Kir Bulychov, and Mikhail Bulgakov, among others. With the fall of Iron Curtain, modern Russia experienced a renaissance of fantasy. Outside modern Russian borders, there's a significant number of Russophone writers and filmmakers from Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan, who also made a notable contribution to the genres.

In Nomine Characters I've taken over the In Nomine Collection's Rogue's Gallery. Sorry to change the format so abruptly, but I'm trying to make it mesh with my GURPS Character Archive. Same rules as with the GURPS lot -- if you're not comfortable with a concept, don't read it. I'm not going to deal with the black background-white text trick, though. (Among other reasons, makes it hard to print the page.) The game already requires one to be mature about religion being depicted in a game; if there are sexual issues in these pages (and there are some), you'll have to be mature about them, too.
