    Well, actually that's covered by the Sun God Travels (Translatión movement) and the Earth God movement (Rotation movement), but now that you say it, that could be a factor too.

    The real issue are the maths. XD

    The seasons were explained in my favorite myth, that of Hades' love for Persephone, daughter of Demeter. Hades tricked her into the underworld, and Demeter was so distraught over her loss, she neglected her duties as a Goddess of Nature and fertility. As a result the plants did not grow, and crops failed. Persephone did not eat while in the underworld save 6 pomegrante seeds. As a result she had to return to the underworld for six months every year. During this time Demeter would mourn Persephone's absence and neglect the crops and thus we had winter, the period Persephone was gone.

    Now, in a flat earth cosmology, I like the ideas of myths and gods being a 'real' force and not merely 'faces/figure heads' to explain a real world occurance.
    1. I learn that legend on a D&D campaign, in wich we were epic pc's and we talked with the gods on a full greek world. (Well, but with dragons XD)

    2. Yeha, you maybe are right, i just wanna have some fisic explanations too, so if the Sun God decides to travel closer to the Fire plane, know at least at a degree, how the climate is gonna be affected.

    That's an interesting planar layout. So, now my next question:

    Based on this Layout, does this imply that, for instance, the plane of Fire is located:

    a) to the northwest of the material plane; or
    b) in the western sky above the material plane; or
    c) does this map not really relate the physical locations so much as the metaphysical locations such that we can't say that this represents anything about their locations in relation to each other as can be understood by earthly observations

    What I'm driving at, here, is that if the sun god decides to stray closer to the realm of Fire, does that mean he'll (a) be straying to the Northwest, (b) straying to the West, or (c) that his "straying" toward the realm of Fire can't be observed directly based on where in the sky we see the sun so much as that since the sun god is closer to the realm of Fire in a metaphysical sense, he is farther from the material world and therefore the material world is colder (i.e. winter).
    I think, therefore I am a nerd.
    Cogito, ergo sum nerdem.
