074 Cupid and Psyche, an Epic Story of True Love Part 2

When last we met on Moments in Greek Mythology:

Cupid ditched Psyche after she accidently spilled hot wax on him (Oh and something about breaking a promise)

073 Eros and Psyche, an Epic Story of True Love Part 1

As requested by someone on the http://live.lordkat.com/ (Yep I be plugging on his site! What now!) he or she wanted me to do the story of Eros (Cupid for you Latin folks) and Psyche. However, I need to separate this in two or even three parts. This is a story about love, loss, and reunion, so this is kind of a unique epic of a woman trying to get her lover back when it is usually the other way around.

God I love Latin, too bad I forgot how to translate it!

072 Orion cures blindness by staring into the sun

Today I want to talk about a story regarding the hero Orion. You know, the guy who is a constellation now? Well he is a fairly unknown hero in Greek Mythology. But there are a couple of memorable stories about the giant son of Poseidon. (Who can walk on fucking WATER!) This is the story where a king blinds him and he must find away to get his sight back and get revenge on the King Oenopion.

Sorry guys, you are going to see a lot of pics involving star charts (God damn it Google Images!)

071 The Ousting of Ouranos and the Reign of Cronus

And I'm back from my vacation in wonderful Geneva,  Switzerland Ohio! Yeah sorry forgot to tell you about that last blog, but anyway, I'm back and I want to finish our story about the days before the Olympians and how the Titans came to rule the universe.

What? I hate ugly kids, is that so wrong?
