As the title suggests, I am going to finally to discuss the creation of the universe as told by the Greeks. The specific work that I base this post on is the great oral poet Hesiod and his work The Theogony.I should warn you guys, what follows is some serious metaphysical shit with this myth of creation. ( Nothing like primordial beings have sex to get you ready for the morning)
Man Chaos must have sucked to live when it was the only place to live in
Oh yeah were going back to that place I know and love, Troy! And since I'm not a character I'm not going to have an image or video of that wretched 2004 raping of Homer at all in this blog or any future blog about the Trojan War. (I have a free will damnit!)
This is a story about above all the sacrifice of one man in order to begin an invasion and also this is a story the effects that death in war has on the family. (Yeah the second part of this myth becomes something of an opposite Orpheus and Eurydice tale) Let's not get lallygagging and introduce our main character: Protesilaus.
Couldn't find an image of him so here is a painting of Achilles glaring at you while naked on his little throne
It's great to be back home and back on working my blogs. I won't bore you with my musings about my trip to Omaha so let's get the show back on the road. For the viewers of my blog this story will either bring good news or bad news.
For the viewers who love all that sexual and lustful perversion that is found throughout Greek Myth, I'm sorry, but there is surprisingly none of that in this story. However, you maybe pleased that there is still a transformation in this myth (and thank the gods it isn't about people turning to plants) So it is what it is, but that won't stop me from enjoying this story.
Before we begin let us discuss about main deity in this story, Dionysus (or Bacchus for you Roman types). Here is my question about the jovial god of wine: what is the modern interpretation of this god? Well if you are any type of early Disney animation fan like me, you will know this answer.
Aw yes, good old Fantasia still great after all these years
