Carme (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Carme (/ˈkɑːrmi/; Ancient Greek: Κάρμη Karmē) was the mother, by Zeus, of the goddess Britomartis.[1] She was either the daughter of Euboulus, the son of the Cretan priest Carmanor,[2] or the daughter of Cassiepia, the daughter of Arabius, and Phoenix, the son of Agenor.[3]

gollark: Well, yes, current moral standards are "better" in a bunch of dimensions we like, but those are only "better" in the first place because current moral standards say so.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Oh, so you mean "our moral standards now are better according to our moral standards now".
gollark: How are you defining "exists" here? People 500 years ago had moral standards. Probably same going back to even the invention of agriculture.
gollark: What things? What do you mean "more accepted"?
