81. Arachne, The Price Of Weaver's Pride, Spinning And Weaving Story from Greek mythology about Arachne boasting of her yarn spinning and cloth weaving skills, resulting in Athena turning her into a spider for the remainder of her life. From the Apple Hollow Farm web site. http://www.applehollow.com/arachne.html

THE PRICE OF A WEAVER'S PRIDE If you can believe in tales of Greek mythology, the mother of spiders was Arachne, a Lydian maid so sure-handed and deft that no craftswoman could match her in spinning or in weaving. But Arachne was arrogant. Not even the gods could emulate her skill, she claimed - not even Athena, protector of all spinners and weavers. It was true that Athena was patroness of these arts of peace, but she was also the goddess of war, and she lost no time in responding to Arachne's boast. She challenged the maiden to a contest of skill. In her offering for the contest, Arachne added impudence to arrogance. She wove a scene that showed a hideous creature - part man and part bull - pursuing a mortal woman. This, she said, represented the loves of the gods. Athena wove a scene of a mortal man strapped into a harness that supported wings made of feathers; the man had clearly flown too near the sun, for the feathers were already aflame. This, she said, was an image of human arrogance. Then the goddess destroyed the mortal woman's work and, with a sharp command, the woman herself. At Athena's words, Arachne shrank and blackened, and eight wispy legs sprouted from her body. She spent the remainder of her brief life - as her descendants always would - spinning thread from her own belly, and shuttling back and forth across its sticky strands to weave herself a web.

Home E-Mail Download Lessons Interactive Quiz ... South America Greek Mythology The ancient Greeks were polytheistic. This means they believed in many gods. Writers and artists use the stories and symbols of Greek myths to this day. While we no longer view the myths as religion, many people still enjoy reading them. Today, most people who live in the Western Hemisphere believe in one god. People who believe in one god are monotheistic. Myths are traditional stories. The Greeks used myths to explain things they did not understand. At first, myths were passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. Later, Greek poets created epic stories based on those legends. An epic is a long poem about great heroes and their deeds. The Greeks would often consult priests or priestesses called oracles before making important decisions. They believed that the gods spoke to the oracles. The oracles were said to be able to read the rustling of leaves or marks on animals as signs from the gods. The oracles would often respond in unclear ways so it would be difficult for people to prove them wrong.

83. MetroActive Movies | The Brandon Teena Story Richard von Busack s article about the movie incorporates Greek mythology and Stanley Kubrick into the review. http://www.metroactive.com/papers/sfmetro/02.15.99/brandonteenstory-9905.html

Movies Index SF Metropolitan MetroActive Central Archives The Changeling This Charming Man: The charismatic life and horrific death of Brandon Teena The tragic 'Brandon Teena Story' By Richard von Busack In one version of an ancient Greek myth, the clairvoyant Tiresias was transformed from male to female. Jupiter then struck him blind as punishment for answering the question whether men or women enjoy sex more. Those born between sexes, as Teena Brandon was in Nebraska in 1973, have a sort of secret knowledge that the rest of us can only guess at it, bounded as we are by the fact of our own gender. The envy that knowledge arouses can be fatal. The young Brandon, who switched his/her name to Brandon Teena when taking a male identity, is the subject of the harrowing documentary The Brandon Teena Story , playing at the Castro Feb. 19-25. The documentary is an obsessive, deeply researched study of the last year of Brandon's lifea life that ended with murder just weeks after his/her 21st birthday. Filmmakers Susan Muska and Greta Olafsdottir interview the dozen or so people who knew Brandon in the small town of Falls City, Neb. The scrupulous details make this story all the more sickening. The worst part of the film is an audiotape and transcription of Brandon's interview with the sheriff, shortly after Brandon was driven out to a field and raped twice on Christmas Eve 1993. On the tape, then-Sheriff Charles Laux of Richardson County makes it plain that he has no compassion for freaks and makes the experience as degrading as possible for Brandon.

85. Greek Mythology - What To Expect David Sheppard s e-books exploring ancient Greek mythology and culture in the American experience. http://greek-myth.com/

What to Expect Your Personal Mythology Bibliography In the beginning... ... Afterward The material in this website was initially created for a course in Greek mythology at New Mexico State University at Carlsbad in their Continuing Education department. Since the students in the class were older and already held four-year college degrees, I taught it as one might an upper division or graduate course. The approach is unusual and perhaps even unique in that it introduces mythology through the use of chronological stories solely from ancient Greek literature. As originally conceived, it consisted of a smidgen of Hesiod's Theogony followed by Greek tragedies by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides that told the story of Oedipus, his ancestors and descendents. The Greek gods were introduced as they were encountered in the unfolding story of Oedipus' family and rounded out by presenting the Homeric Hymns that told the story of their divine lives. This introduction to Greek mythology comes in two parts. The first concerns twice-born Dionysus, theatre's patron god. The reason we start with him is that much of mythology comes to us through ancient theatre. We'll be reading several tragedies, and it's necessary to understand him to understand tragedy. His story starts with the myth of Demeter and her daughter Persephone who was the first mother of Dionysus. Demeter and Persephone were also the deities behind the Mysteries at Eleusis. Dionysus' life is then picked up within the legend of Kadmos, whose daughter was the second mother of Dionysus. It concludes with Dionysus incorporating his orgiastic rites at Thebes.

88. EUHEMERUS And The Greek Myths A new look at the myths of the Greek seen as portions of a much older, lost historical tradition. A detailed on-line book by William Harris, Professor Emeritus, Middlebury College. http://community.middlebury.edu/~harris/SubIndex/greekmyth.html

EUHEMERISM Greek Mythic History PREFACE: Euhemerus and Euhemerism Chapter 1: The Heroes and their Deeds Chapter 2: Women in Various Roles Chapter 3: Domestication of Animals Chapter 4: The Development of Agriculture Chapter 5: Medicine and Pharmacopoeia Chapter 6: The Discovery and Use of Metals Chapter 7: Homo Faber: Man the Inventor Chapter 8: The Beginnings of Trade and Economics Chapter 9: Influences From the Near East Chapter 10: Cult, Belief and Religion Chapter 11: Psychology and the Inner Mind Chapter 12: Land and Climate FOREWARD Already in the 3rd century B.C. the Greeks were becoming suspicious about the nature of their myths, which had lost much of the vitality of the Homeric period, as they became formalized into state-symbols with standard political associations. They were well on their way to slipping into Apollonius' late literary 'Textbook of Mythology' and at a later date the final compilation of the scrivener Bullfinch. Euhemerus, living about 320 to 160 B.C., already saw that there was an emptiness in the standardized Greek mythology, which he approached by reassessing it in a newly critical and logical manner. Now everyone loves the Greek myths, from schoolchildren to the popular academician Joseph Campbell, who drew from his early studies in Indian mythology a strained view that the Greeks were also spiritual mythologists. It is true there are connections, even verbal parallels between India and Greece coming from an ancient Indo-European connection. But in India the myths were subsumed into a rich religious and philosophical tradition, while the Greek parallels floated loose in a semi-secular society which had no systemic view of religion or any serious working theology. Of course that separateness was the secret of Greece's outstanding success in the worlds of practical science, mathematics and theoretical physics.

89. Greek Mythology Covers the Olympian gods and goddesses, heroes and major mythological stories. http://www.historylink102.com/greece2/index.htm

Introduction to Greek Mythology The Greeks were polytheistic in their religious beliefs. Polytheistic means they believed in and worshiped many different gods. In Greek mythology, the gods often represented different forms of nature. Their religion/mythology had no formal structure with the exception of various festivals held in honor of the gods. There was no sacred book or code of conduct to live by. The most powerful Greek gods were known as the Olympians. The Greeks believed the Olympians lived on the highest mountain in Greece, Mount Olympus. The Olympian gods included: Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Aphrodite, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Hades, Hermes, Hephaestus, Poseidon and Hestia or later she was replaced in some lists by Dionysus. Major Gods and Godesses of Greek Mythology Zeus - King of the Gods Hera - Queen of the Gods Aphrodite - goddess of love and beauty Apollo - god of light, truth, healing, archery, music, poetry Ares - god of war Artemis - goddess of hunt, moon, children Athena - goddess of wisdom, war, patriotism and good citizenship

HAYAMI AND MUTIO: A BRIDGE BETWEEN RACES This is a shrine dedicated to the attraction between Hayami and Mutio in Blue Submarine No. 6. Some of you may now be crying out "But I thought Kino and Hayami were more of a couple! Besides, she's his own species!" They seem to be more of partners, each supporting the other out of a common purpose, and rarely agreeing. But I digress. The first thing I noticed when I was surfing the Anipike was the small amount of (good) sites dedicated to Blue Submarine No. 6. Barely any character shrines. So I decided to create a site to my favorite couple out of the small, four-episode series. Mutio is an original as a feline mermaid, and Hayami is the typical stormy, righteous main character. Together, they balanced each other, and guided the other through an extremely tumultous time. I hope you enjoy your stay here. If you do not agree with me for a good reason, or have found flaws, please e-mail me or sign my guestbook. I'd love to hear from you!
