Here is a drinking cup with Odysseus and Circe. The men have been turned into animals by magic, but Hermes gave Odysseus a potion which blocked Circe's magic.
We're supposed to finish the book and write a short paper this week. I'm on vacation in Santa Fe and didn't get a chance to see the live video because I was in the air, and the wifi on the plane wasn't so good for my sons, so I didn't get it for myself. I'll watch the video today. Again it took me 2 tries to get 100% on the quiz.
I think I'm drawn to the structuralist or functionalist paper. I like the idea of binaries. It's reminds me of the Buddha Dharma's insight into duality. The functionalism is interesting too, but it's hard to imagine what to write about besides Xenia, the Greek concept of hospitality, which I find fascinating. I'm enjoying the hospitality of my parents this week, so it's an interesting subject. Someone uploaded some texts that might help. My sons are going horseback riding so I'll have some time to work on the stuff and read.
I started reading The Mark of Athena on the side. It's the 7th book of 10 (the 10th one hasn't come out). These Rick Riordan books about ancient mythology are fun books, I think they're rivals to the Harry Potter books. The premis of the books is that half bloods inhabit the earth. Gods are still sleeping with mortals. The half blood children are attacked by forces that don't want them to exist, so if you survive long enough, people try to find them and take them to camp to train them to survive, and generally work the various missions of the gods and mortals. There are 5 books set with the Greek gods, and then the author turns them to the Roman gods and they interact with the same characters in the first books.
