Myths 15 ♥♠

I read the Olympic Games, Daedalus, and Castor and Pollux. I didn't find anything of the olympic games that isn't still mentioned nowadays


Daedalus was the example of how important it was to have sharp wit and that even if you are gifted you should not try to be more than what you can be, or let your ego grow too high. The dangers of being better are increadible while as Castor and Pollux are heroes and are said to have bravety and great celestial connections. In other words, they were so praised the were linked to the divine and so it was not a strech tthat they became constellations.

Myths 14 ♥♠

The myths I have read today are those of Pomona, Bacchus, and Adriane. Now the first and the last show how or what the "mytologers" imagened were the minds of woman;

- manipulative

- lovers


- complicated


- maleficious yet compasive

- imagineative

On the other hand you can compare it to the idea of man and to thought of the man ruling over woman and having the liberty to fool around in every sense without being aware or actualy caring about the consequences. Bacchus was the god of wine and in short words, parties. Here you see an underestimation of the women for if a woman commited adultery it wasn't well seem but if man did, well he was celbrated.

Myths 13 ♥♠

I have read the myths of Callisto, Clymie and The Myrmidons. After taking the main idea of each you can see how important it was both for the romans and the greeks love, beauty, and honor.
Callisto was turned into a bear since June was "defending" her honor for she feared her husband would fall in love with Callisto's omnipotent beauty and Callisto then after years saw her son and remembered how much she love him because he was part of her family.
Clymtie was a gorgeous water nymph who fell in love with Apollo but since he was a god he didn't see her of honorable enough to behold and captivate the beauty of Apollo who dicided to pay no attention to her. Yet she pretty much starved herself from everything and sat on a rock to cry over her beloved forever being only able to see him when he took the sun out.
The Myrmidons were a group of people who at the end created a sociey yet they faced may obstacles regarding honor and still made it on to create a stable noticable.
