Strip Of The Day

Aglauros · Post by **Aglauros** » Thu Mar 15, 2001 7:34 am

Objective: to provide an area for comments, discussion, speculation, and screaming regarding the Strip D'Jour; to actually post something; and to copy Virgil's format.Izzat Eris? Please? Please? *sniffles* Eh, she's probably not Eris ... but that'd be cool. She does have a nice outfit. *nod nod*Hmm. I guess that's the end of the insight for the day as I must needs get to physics lab posthaste. Laters.

I blame the hooka. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"> She is Greek (and not Eris--but you're kinda close), though her wardrobe &c. do have a touch of the cold and dark regions about 'em.mike

Damn midterms. I gave up on my 3.76 a while ago; now, I'm worried about maintaining a 3.0 for my main scholarship. Bahhhhhh.Anyway. Just noticed, but the New Goddess isn't quite the freshest egg in the nest, is she? Well, either that, or she's got midterms this week too. (A year ago, I never would have thought I'd be alive after a four-hour night of sleep. Now I take tests and can reason coherently after such a night. Scary.)I have very little else to add of value, as I really need some sleep. Hmmm, sleep or rewatch Knights ... okay, the anime wins. *poofs off*

I'd try to say something clever in Latin, except for the fact that I'm waaaaay rusty. So I guess I'll just settle for "Neither am I."

Look at the people in the mud. They're shiny!SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE!!!!!On another note, who was the guy that re-created humanity after the pandora's box incedent out of stone? It sounds like he'll pop up soon.

MizunoL · Post by **MizunoL** » Mon Mar 19, 2001 6:13 am

Was Pandora's box before or after the great flood? Must be after.I know Prometheus warned one of his sons (can't remember their names for the life of me) about Zeus's plan to flood the world and the son and his family made provisions accordingly. After the great flood taht guy and his wife threw stones behind them, re-creating humanity.I think.

Dreamless · Post by **Dreamless** » Mon Mar 19, 2001 11:11 am

That sounds familiar. Though I'm kinda mixing it up with norse mythology, in which humans were remade from trees after the flood? I have to admit, creation myths really aren't my forte; they all blend together.For reference (not that it matters) the events of now are after that; people are all made and kinda stable.mike

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>That's the problem--Greek myth abounds with these cranky goddesses, who are all either secondary figures in more important peoples' stories or mentioned in passing as the personification of some abstract and unpleasant principle: strife, for instance, or terror. Or both--gods' identities are pretty fluid.mike

Every society has a version of the creation/flood myth. I'm kinda fuzzy on what happened after promethieus, though. Wasn't aware of a hostile takeover attempt by The Braided One...

MizunoL · Post by **MizunoL** » Wed Mar 21, 2001 10:29 am

No, it's got to be Enyo. I don't blame you for not knowing her Sophrosyne, I had to look her up earlier this year. She's a lesser Greek goddess of war, Ares's sister I think. She's usually depicted as an old woman.Am I right or what Mike?

Aglauros · Post by **Aglauros** » Thu Mar 22, 2001 2:30 am

Happy Thursaday, everybody. You know what that means ... Faraday is almost here!Sorry. *ducks*Regarding Enyo - that's a new name to me, too. I looked her up on Google, and there appears to be a very little information on the lady who might well be The Braided One at <A HREF="http://home.swipnet.se/~w-48250/mythology/e/enyo.html" TARGET=_blank>http://home.swipnet.se/~w-48250/mytholo ... yo.html</A> Enjoy. *evil smile*p.s. Poor Mike. Not fun. Never lost a CPU before, but went through three weeks of hell with what turned out to be a fried CD-ROM drive. Bah. Good luck getting 'im fixed.

it's really frustrating: if I had my computer working, all of this'd've been resolved by now.grr... now's kinda an awkward place to hang for a couple days, too.
