Sexson Wisdom: All Classical Mythology may be found in Ovid Somewhere.
Our Minute Story is Due Nov. 16th.
Blogs to Read- Curtis, Jase, John, Melinda, and Sarah's
TERM PAPERS: Your term paper should be related to the importance of this class in Henderson and the Rain King.
THE THREE STAGE THEOS TAKES US THROUGH
Conviviality
Rape- in the philological sense
Indifference.
Sexson did a reading from Flannery O'Connor's GreenLeaf. (I'm sure Rio will be available to make photocopies of this story for anyone :)
When we were talking about Procne in Greek Mythology we could not find a definition of what birds everyone turned into in Ovid's telling. Sexson routed through the depths of his library and found the metamophoses that will be on our tests.
Tereus translates into a Hoopoe
Philomela transforms into a Nightingale
Procne metamorphs into a Swallow
Remember Scylla- The look of Purple Hair
Myths is Bulls (Sexson widsom)
Bull is a Crete story
Aside; Hermes- In Greece all the Phallus' (Hermes had an ever hard on) were Knocked off the Hermes at crossroads during the Christian movement.
FOR YOUR OWN ENJOYMENT- Research Priapus
Greek word for home- Nostos- Nostalgic
Buy Eugene O'niel's Desire Under the Elms
Shakespeare's Richard III is translation (you know, of sorts) of Daedulus and Icarus (SU-ON)
Read Portrait of An Artist As A Young Man in your spare (do we still have this?) time. (By James Joyce)
Daedulus and Icarus
Daedulus says "Though he owns all, he does not own the air."
"The artists needs to alter nature so that it can be seen as it really is"- Sexson Wisdom 101, this is inside of the story.
"The artist trains the world to see things."- Sexson Wisdom 201.
The Next few weeks we will be focusing on the story of Baucis and Philemon. You should begin reading Henderson and the Rain King and it would be wise to begin thinking of a paper topic now instead of later.

Giving up childish things is to give up our illusions, not the text itself, but the illusions or tools/materials of the text that entrap and capture the spirit-that is to say, those "things" which affect our soul- and to truly reveal to ourselves the unspoken things, the origin of that which the human intellect wishes to identify and know within itself.
