so i'm reading 'jane eyre' now as well because my mom thinks it would be better for me to not have finished mythology when i go back to school than jane eyre, since that's more of a story. and the most important stuff in mythology is in the first chapter and i'm on page 208 in that. jane eyre is better than my 'friends' have said but who the hell can trust them, for liking misty crisco?!?! and they all HATE mythology and that makes me sob. as dad said, it should be the one we 'relate the most to' with all the tv shows and movies made out of mythology. like xena and hercules and shit. i know a lot of the stories already and i think i'm gonna have to reread sandman to catch all the little nuances which will be really really fun.
or a better word.
anyway, jane eyre has a really really slow start for what i've heard it to be about. its just opening up and i'm on page 100 and there's a lot crammed on every page. its by the same publishers as the monte cristo verison i had to read. damn you bantam book classics! and it has no illustrations either.
another thing that's wonderfully intersting about the myths, is seeing how things have evolved. like in fairy tales and all? things are much much less violent. the Chimaera, which is a fire-breathing monster with the front of a lioness, the end of a serpent, and the middle of a goat in the Greek myths, has diminshed to just 'a magical creature.' or some type of fantasy.
why does the singer lady in this song sound male?
and the centaurs also. they're very violent creatures.
i really love the way the gods are portrayed though. the greeks understood that NO ONE is perfect, least of all not the gods, who are full of imperfections. as well as representations. bacchus, for example. or uhm dionysus, the god of wine. theyre the same guy, for your information. but anyway. he's like a really jolly good-nature guy. until he's not. and then he's like ruthlessly violent. its showing two sides, and also the effects of the wine he represents.
oh and these followers of his are these wild women who run naked through the woods and eat the flesh of anything they come across.... the uhm maneads. or bacchalites. they killed orpheus.
well they kill him in some versions. in some, he was punished (not gonna get into that) into immortality and like his head is alive and seperate from his dismembered ... 'body'. which is pretty much nonexistant
well that's the version in sandman anyway. ahahahahahah. because there he's morpheus's son.
but in the book, he was uhm. killed. like really. and then the nymphs buried him. no wait.... not the nymphs, that was perkleahiaga whatever. the muses, i think, buried him. because calliope (muse of epic poetry... that's stories... for your information. sad fiends) is his mother. as she was in sandman. ooh and she had an issue in sandman too. i read that yes i did. and so should you!! and i like this song. what the hell is this.
eternal yay for diane izzo and her amazing voice of doom.
everyone go download 'wicked spell' by diane izzo. and if you can't find it, get anything else.
oh wait. nevermind. just go here. you can download it.
and uhm i'm gonna go try to change my updates. because i doubt blogger will let me publish this thing. so uhm i'll try to inform you guys from there.
