the uncovered myths  

Potina

Potina was a Roman goddess. She guarded the suckling of babies. She was loved by all the Roman gods. One night she was visited by Pluto, god of the spirit world. He sneaked through a fissure in the wall into Potina's house.

Potina gave birth to a divine son. She was crazy about the baby. She cuddled and kissed him day and night, but because of his sinister origin she didn't want him to grow, so she didn't breastfeed the infant.
When Pluto saw his son starving, he complained to chief god Jupiter about the heartless mother. Jupiter adapted the mouth of Potina so each time she kissed the boy, he got a sip of milk. Because Potina nonstop kissed him, Pluto’s son became a well-fed boy… 



When we still published our videos on YouTube (years ago) this video was deleted by YouTube.  YouTube wrote:

"Hi Gany,  As you may know, our Community Guidelines describe which content we allow – and don’t allow – on YouTube. Your video "Potina" was flagged for review. Upon review, we’ve determined that it violates our guidelines. We’ve removed it from YouTube and assigned a Community Guidelines strike, or temporary penalty, to your account."

So we left YouTube and published our videos elsewhere. The switch to Vimeo didn't help much. Potina was indeed allowed by Vimeo but then their personal censorship broke loose...
