Behavior And Ecology
When she appears, she can make people extremely angry or cause them to act irrationally. In stories, she sometimes works with other goddesses or entities, such as Eris, to create confusion and conflict among mortals. 🌪
️ Her behavior teaches us the importance of balancing our emotions and handling anger in healthy ways. Just like in nature, where storms can be both powerful and destructive, our emotions can be overwhelming too!
Cultural Significance
Many writers and artists have used her image to express anger, madness, or chaos. Her influence can be seen in modern stories, films, and art as a way to communicate the power of emotions. 🌟
This reminds us that even in modern times, understanding our feelings is crucial, and Lyssa helps us explore those aspects through myth and story!
Diet And Feeding Habits
️ Instead, she "feeds" on the emotions of people, particularly their rage and madness! In stories, when people feel angry or upset, it is said that Lyssa is nearby, thriving on those feelings.
