Extractions: When I began to write my history I was inclined to count these legends as foolishness, but on getting as far as Arcadia I grew to hold a more thoughtful view of them, which is this. In the days of old those Greeks who were considered wise spoke their sayings not straight out but in riddles, and so the legends about Cronus I conjectured to be one sort of Greek wisdom. In matters of divinity, therefore, I shall adopt the received tradition.

http://www.wsu.edu/~delahoyd/classical.monsters.html

Extractions: Monsters in classical mythology are typically part animal and part human, or else they constitute a collection of animal graftings. They are not really horror monsters, just unpleasant or nasty afflictions sent by the gods. They often do no more than throw into relief the heroism of the protagonist (e.g., Perseus, Oedipus, Odysseus, Theseus) by existing simply to be overcome or destroyed as obstacles to his goal. In modern monster stories, conversely, heroes are boring and draw little interest whereas we remember the monster. It is the monster who lives on and who even lends its name to the story (e.g., Dracula The Mummy The Wolf Man The Blob , etc.). Check out a translation of the section of Virgil's Aeneid , Book VI, describing Aeneas' entrance into the "jaws of Orcus" (VI.13) the mouth of hell. There, two initial batches of monstrosities are met. 1) We first hear of abstractions such as "Grief and avenging Cares ... pale Diseases and sad Age ... Dread, and Hunger ... sordid Want ... Death and Toil and Death's own brother, Sleep ... Death-bringing War ... and raving Discord, / Viperish hair bound up in gory bands" (VI.14-22). These are very clearly cultural vilifications vs. what one first wants to insist. But there's nothing "sinful" about Age or Discord (called "raving Discord, / Viperish hair bound up in gory bands"). A less western philosophy turns Toil into a more positive experience. Sleep may resemble Death (and so is called its "brother"), but one has to be a little paranoid to place it among the horrors at the mouth of hell.

Extractions: page: The Greco-Roman myths concerning same-sex love have been of crucial importance to the Western gay and lesbian literary heritage, both as texts and as icons. Myth and literature are deeply interdependent and often indistinguishable. Being, in essence, the traditional tales told about gods and about human or semidivine heroes, myths generally take a narrative though sometimes a dramatic form. Usually they are first recorded in poetry, as Homer and Hesiod demonstrate with respect to the classical mythology that is to be focused on here. Sponsor Message.

Indeed, very few of the Greek warriors made it home at all. Most of the returning ships were destroyed at sea. Even among those that remained intact, most arrived home only after being blown considerably off course, suffering delays that lasted up to several years (see All's Not Fair in Love and War: The Fall of Troy Odysseus came from a long line of thieves, tricksters, and scoundrels.

Yet a rumor spread that Anticleia was already pregnant when she married Laertes. Odysseus's real father may have been the infamous rogue Sisyphus, who seduced Anticleia to punish her father for stealing his cattle (see

Classical Mythology -- Helen Roberts' Masterpiece
Helen Roberts chronicles the classical myths of Greece and Rome. Also includes an illustrated encyclopedia.
http://www.freewebs.com/classicalmythology/

Extractions: INTRODUCTION Many years ago the Greeks thought up strange stories about gods and mighty humans to explain the nature of the universe. Plato called these stories myths Most of the myths involved heroic quests, immortality, fierce creatures, epic battles, rape, love affairs, quarrels, friendship, betrayal, revenge, suckling infants, despair, punishment, reward and thunderbolts. The gods had great powers but were not flawless. These stories were passed down through the centuries. When Rome took control of Greece the Romans adopted the gods and gave them Latin names. They also created a few myths of their own including The Founding of Rome. In the following pages I will tell you about the first gods from the beginning of the universe in The Creation I�ll write about Hermes who achieved many feats at the age of one day old in Hermes the Baby Rascal You will hear about Persephone who was kidnapped by her uncle and the earth�s first winter in The Rape of Persephone In The Gorgon�s Head Medusa will be transformed into a hideous monster and then killed.
