Roman mythology, or more appropriately, Latin mythology, refers to the mythological beliefs of the Italic people inhabiting the region of Latium and its main city, Ancient Rome. It can be considered as having two parts; One part, largely later and literary, consists of borrowings from Greek mythology. The other, largely early and cultic, functioned in very

These books are very readable and [...]

Isis:Ancient Egyptian society treated men and women equally. Women participated in the political, economic, and judicial world of ancient Egypt on the same terms as men. This social system reflects Egyptian mythology, where Goddesses played an equal, if not chief, role. The primeval mother figures in the earliest prehistoric Egyptian myths are female. Female deities were kept separate from the males, with their own temples and followers. Egyptian goddesses are also creator deities, and the protectors of the pharaohs in the form of the cobra, vulture, or lioness.In ancient Egyptian mythology, Egypt was created from the Watery Waste of Nun, a chaos god from whose body all things were born. The continuous mission of the daily temple services and strictly followed religious codes was to keep o

Our love affair with monsters is not a completely new thing; the fertile imagination of the ancient Greeks had given rise to many terrifying beings.
While these ancient mythical monsters may not have been the results of cloning, nuclear tests, or even deep sea mining, they certainly were as good, if not better than present-day, computer generated ones. And these monsters have staying power, for they have continued to influence writers and artists over thousands of years. I seriously doubt that the Cloverfield monster (as cool as it was) will be remembered a few centuries from now.
So, let’s take a look at five of the most iconic monsters from ancient Greek mythology, and some of the interesting influences they have had on popular culture.

In Greek mythology, mermen were often illustrated to have green seaweed-like hair, a beard and a trident. In Irish mythology, mermen are described as extremely ugly creatures with pointed green teeth, pig-like eyes, green hair and a red nose. In Finnish mythology, a merman (vetehinen) is often potrayed as a magical, powerful, handsome, bearded man with the tail of a fish. He can cure illnesses, lift curses and brew potions, but he can also cause unintended harm by becoming too curious about human life. (Taken from: wikipedia.org)The actions and behavior of mermen can vary wildly depending on the source and time period of the stories. They have been said to sink ships by summoning great storms, but also said to be wise teachers, according to earlier mythology. A merman, like a mermaid, attr

In Final Fantasy VII, Hades appear as one of the summons, and in Final Fantasy IX he appear as on of optional boss in Memoria that able to defeat. Hades refers to two mythological terms, both belonging to the Greek culture. The first is the place where the dead live, as in the Greek culture there is no difference between those who have done well and those who have done evil, unlike Christianity, that the split between Heaven and Hell . The second, and that interests us is the God of the dead. Hades, son of Cronos and Rea and therefore brother of Zeus and Poseidon. Together they defeated his father and divided the world, as you know Zeus rule the land, Poseidon at the sea, and Hades rule the Underworld.According to the Greeks when a person dies, they conducted to Hades through a large lake
Although not appear as one of the summons in Final Fantasy series but Tiamat often appear as boss monster that must beaten in almost all Final Fantasy series. In Final Fantasy series Tiamat often appear in dragon shaped creature but let's see what the myth tells about it.The history of Tiamat was the protagonist is one that has most interested one, because in all Final Fantasy series Tiamat appear always as a Antagonist character. The myth itself deals with the creation of the world according to Babylon myth. According to them, before the creation of the world, there is only two gods: Tiamat and Apsu (female and male respectively), who had several children called giants. They decided to battle against their parents because win in numerical (almost same like the Greek myths, which there is
In Greek mythology, the Minotaur was a monster half man and half bull. He was the son of Pasifae (the queen of Crete) and a beautiful Toro (yes, a bull). To become King Minos of Crete had to demonstrate that she was capable to do any deed. In these circumstances Minos asked Poseidon, the god of the Sea, which would leave a beautiful bull of the ocean. Poseidon accepted, but with the promise that Toro will sacrificed when leaving. The bull came out of the sea, and, because of this he became king, but the bull was so beautiful that it could not sacrifice. As punishment, Poseidon did his wife, Pasifae was angry (notice to minors, the party is still a little too much). In her madness Pasifae could not repress her sexual temptations with the beautiful bull and ordered to build a cow Dedalus woo
So, what have I been doing (besides getting ready to buy a home)?Well, the Myth of the, ahem, week column never worked quite right on the front page of Ancient Greece Odyssey. Let's own up -- I was trying to get refreshing content to bring visitors back to that page, because it helps keeps its Google search rank up. So I was changing that section. But it interrupted the flow of my travel narrative. Also, the 2500 character limit was a bit short for telling some myths. So I've decided instead to create a separate mythology blog, and just have the RSS feed on my Greece Odyssey lenses. This means digging up all my old "Myth of the Week" columns and rewriting, reposting them, before proceeding onward with Mr. Herakles. I'm almost there.Along the way I've included a few new non-Greek myths -- H
Shiva is the supreme god of the Hindu mythology. In the appearance and as usual, doesn't have any similarity with SHiva we known on Final Fantasy Series. Perhaps only in its blue skin and in the long hair, but nothing related to the ice. Shiva described as a god who always sitting on a large tiger skin and make the the meditation in Himalaya Mountain. He also described has three eyes (Tri Netra) that able to see through three world Bhur (Underworld), Bvah (Earth), Svah (Heaven). Shiva usually equipped with fuses or snakes as well as his bracelets. He was also said that his long hair flowing through river Ganges (Gangga). He was often represented alongside his trident and timbal, and has two legs and four arms.Shiva is also known by other names such as Mahadeva, Sundaresvara, Natajara, Rudr
Odin is the supreme god of Nordic mythology, he is the son of the giant Burr. He is a dark and evil god, able to revive the dead. His role was same like Zeus in Greek mythology. He was often represented by a long blue cloak covering his body, with a hat and an aged appearance. He lacks an eye because it is pulled and he left the giant Mimir (protector of good and wisdom as the Germans myth) as a pledge to stop him drink from the source of wisdom.His most prized possessions are his horse Sleipner, son of Loki, which is Grey and heavens horse riding on his eight-legged, his spear Gungnir (forged by the children of Ivaldi) and his ring Draupnir. His best companions, aside from his steed eight legs are Huginn and Muninn, her two black crows that collect information throughout the world for the
Diablos is Devil, also known as Lucifer or Satan that mentioned in the Bible and the New Testament. Diablos defined as the arch rival of God and the temptation for human. He is the most powerful of all the fallen angels and was expelled from heaven because of his arrogance.His appearance or representation looks like a red creature with a long tail and thin just pointed and two horns on its head, usually associating the trident. Anyway, in the Christian culture, countless times that the Devil can be presented in front of indefinite forms of a human being, not only physically but in the form of temptations, dark desires ... Who will try to lead the victim "the wrong direction". His appearance more or less consistent with that shown in Final Fantasy VIII, where Diablos is a creature whose app
Sirens, according to Greek mythology, were the daughters of Aqueloo and a Muse. They are creature half woman and half bird. They had a very melodic and soothing voice that no sailor could resist them, they could challenge the Muses in a singing contest.Here, the Muses emerged victorious, and because of that sirens started have their precious bird wings. Sirens, after such a humiliation decided to flee to the coast of Sicily, where it is said that even reside. To avenge the affront of the Muses, they attracting sailors circulating in that area, they sing a beautiful songs. The sailors who hear this song could not avoid hearing, and approach them to die while the ship crashing against the rocks near the island. In our culture when we speak of a siren normally imagined with a creature where
There are a lot of horrible creature in every Mythology. One of them is Typhoon, a giant creature shaped like a giant snake that able to shot fire from his eyes. Depend on the stories, he nominate himself as the king of the world because his great power. But there is one God that able to beat him which is Zeus. With his Lightning weapon Zeus beat him and became the ruler of the god. Zeus than take him to a prison below Mountain of Etna in Sisilia to make sure that he won't disturb anyone else. But before he lost he create a monster that have same attitude, Evils, and also has a great power. That monster is Chimera.In Final fantasy series Typhoon appear as summon in Final Fantasy VII, but in this game Typhoon appear in a cute face and far from horrible shape.
Squidoo, the odd service I use to host Ancient Greece Odyssey, has a tool that tracks what phrases people have Googled to find a lens.I noticed a lot of fact-finding queries like "ancient Greece timeline" and "pictures of Greek gods and goddesses." After a while, it became clear a lot of students were dropping by looking for Cliff Notes answers. I've got a ton of information embedded in my travel diary, but it's not organized as a quick reference; it's a story, an journey. Some people need "just the facts, ma'am."I don't want to do students' homework for them, but I've prepared mini-answers to their top questions and provided links to more in-depth sites on those topics.Here's the FAQ page: Ancient Greece Odyssey: Answers to Common QuestionsCovered so far: Timeline of Ancient Greece | Char

Back to my project on Theology for the 21st Century. Other posts can be found to the right of this blog. I want to start with a few thoughts on Jesus. One of the first tasks, as I see it, is to begin to separate the myth from the man, the historical Jesus from the Christ of the creed, or the pre-Easter from the post-Easter Jesus (Borg).For me to separate does not mean to discard either one necessarily. Many progressives (ie. Borg) are quite comfortable with the Christ of creed. Others are not. One of the first steps is to take a look at the liturgical calendar in order to see how the Christ myth influences our worship and theology. Since Vatican II, Protestant churches have developed an interest in the church calendar. In 1983 ecumenical Protestant groups came up with the Revised Common Lectionary. Here is a visual: The church calendar is based upon the Christ myth. It has nothing to do with the historical person of Jesus. The church is year can be both comforting and

“The Myth of Dangerous Human-Caused Climate Change”, Bob Carter’s frontal assault on the science of global warming, is one of the more cited sources in support of the claim that human caused climate change is nonsense science. I’ve read the piece, and I’ve written a string of posts on it.
Part I is a fairly light introduction.
Part II digs into Carter’s claim that we have no theory of climate and hence can’t deal with what climate information we do have.
In Part III, I addressed Carter’s statements about carbon dioxide.
Carter then takes up the issue of general circulation modeling– that is, computer modeling– of global climate
Followed by “Is there a consensus?“.
Part VI concerns the meaningfulness of ‘global average temperature‘.
In Part VII, “Is Global Average Temperature Rising or Falling?“
Carter next asks, “Are Temperatures Changing at a Dangerous Rate, of Have They Reached a Dangerous Leve
Bob Carter published a paper titled “The Myth of Dangerous Human-Caused Climate Change”, in which he purports to dismantle the so called ‘alarmist’ science of global warming. Part I is a fairly light introduction. Part II digs into Carter’s claim that we have no theory of climate and hence can’t deal with what climate information we do have. In Part III, I addressed Carter’s statements about carbon dioxide. Carter then takes up the issue of general circulation modeling– that is, computer modeling– of global climate, followed by “Is there a consensus?”
Carter’s paper is organized into a series of sections, each with its own title. To allow the reader to more easily follow along, I’ve been addressing these sections one by one and in order. The next heading in line is “Can we Measure Average Surface Global Temperature Meaningfully?”
Carter begins with a reference to work, which I’ve addressed previously, done
Bob Carter published a paper titled “The Myth of Dangerous Human-Caused Climate Change”, in which he purports to dismantle the so called ‘alarmist’ science of global warming. Part I is a fairly light introduction. Part II digs into Carter’s claim that we have no theory of climate and hence can’t deal with what climate information we do have. In Part III, I addressed Carter’s statements about carbon dioxide. Carter then takes up the issue of general circulation modeling– that is, computer modeling– of global climate. That is the subject of Part IV.
Now, “Is there a consensus?”
Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible
This article is Part III of my series on Robert Carter’s, or R.M. Carter’s, or Bob Carter’s paper “The Myth of Dangerous Human-Caused Climate Change.” Part I is a fairly light introduction. Part II digs into some of Carter’s talking points, notably his claims that we don’t have a theory of climate and hence, so it seems, shouldn’t be bothering with climate change too much until we do. In this one, I address Carter’s statements about carbon dioxide, found under the subheader of “Is Carbon Dioxide a Dangerous Pollutant?” in his paper.
As the subheading suggests, Carter makes a lot of the idea that CO2 is not a pollutant and seems to rejoice in the “constant exasperation” this fact causes to “those environmental activists who fear global warming”. His position rests on two major points, as I read it. The first of these is the idea that carbon dioxide has been in Earth’s atmosphere for a very long time, to
This article is Part II of a series that begins with Bob Carter’s Mythology: Introduction. Bob Carter paper “The Myth of Dangerous Human-Caused Climate Change” must be one of the most cited climate change articles on the net. Google returns more than 22,000 links. So I decided to take on the project of reading and critiquing it.
Carter separates his work into a series of sections separated by named subheadings. The headings below correspond to headings Carters uses.
Theory of Climate and How Does Climate Work
Carter’s first two sections seem almost inseparably related to me, so I am addressing them as one unit.
In these sections Carter contends that “there is no established theory of climate in the sense that there is a theory of Newtonian Mechanics”. He may be right. We may not have a theory of climate in the sense that we have a theory of Newtonian Mechanics. We also don’t have a theory of ‘health’ in that sense, yet we still go

Now certainly, genes can be a factor. There are some people who are born with greater ability to store food as body fat. There are other people born with stronger hearts. Some people didn’t get good nutrition when they were infants, because their pregnant mothers didn’t know about good nutrition and didn’t feed them well, and thus they may be born with a predisposition to adult onset-diabetes later in life.
But these are not points of surrender. These are the realities of life. None of us are born with perfect bodies and perfect circumstances. And if you look around at the most successful people in the world, you will find that they came from less than ideal circumstances. They were forced by necessity to take charge of their own life and create an outcome that would serve them better. It is no excuse to say, ‘We don’t have perfect genes.’ Or ‘We don’t have a perfect environment.’ We can no longer place this responsibility for our health on
The seduction of Acomplia is that it takes over our responsibilities. It allows us to shift control of our lives from our own conscious intentions to a prescription drug handed out to us by doctors. It is in this very mythology that the danger to Americans hides. Not in the drug itself — it is the mythology that’s dangerous, not the chemical. The seductive qualities of this drug encourage people to release themselves from responsibility. They encourage people to disempower themselves, to shift their power to external influences. Rather than self-discipline, wisdom or education taking a role in the person’s outcome, the only factor that counts, according to the mythology, is the name of the drug you choose to take.
Of course, Americans absolutely love this story. They love it because there is a great unwillingness in Western societies, but especially in America, to take responsibility for shaping one’s own health outcome. In America, we like to blame everybody else f
I think I may have blogged about this in the past, but from yesterdays conversation with my bank manager I felt the need to bring it up again. It really surprises me how little people seem to understand about the process of a medical education.Yesterday’s conversation went:Me: “Hi, I’ve just graduated and noticed my bank account has just been changed to a graduate account. I would like to revert back to a student account as I am starting another degree.”Banker: “No problem, have you got the offer letter on you so that we can photocopy it?”Me: “Yes I do…”*hands it over to the banker*Banker: “Oh! Medical school? So that’s got to be another 3 years?”Me: “…no, another 5 years”One of my old school friends, who last week graduated with a first class degree in history from Durham, seemed to think that I’ll “be looking forwards doing a PhD”.Other things said to me include:“So you’re gonna be like on scrubs!”“Isn’t that basically what you’ve just
Dictionary of Native American MythologyBy: Sam D. Gill, Irene F. SullivanISBN: 0874366216Publisher: ABC-Clio - 1992-06Hardcover | 425 Pages | List Price: $65.00 (USD) | Sales Rank: 1869734Book Description From Library JournalThis dictionary entices readers to explore the complex fabric of North American Indian tales and ritual. While numerous other references treat Native American mythology, none offers the coverage found in this volume. Works such as Yves Bonnefoy's Mythologies (Univ. of Chicago Pr., 1991) and the New Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology (Paul Hamlyn, 1968) focus primarily on classical, European, and Asian myths, with minimal coverage of Native American cultures. This new dictionary is well researched, drawing from scholarly sources such as the Journal of American Folklore and the American Anthropologist. Entries appear as either descriptive terms or in the anglicized form of Native American words, followed by tribal and/or cultural identifiers. Each entry includes gen

He claims that in the first place, it serves to answer the type of awkward questions that children ask, like Who made the world or Who were the first people? The second function of myth is to justify an existing social system and to account for traditional customs and rites. Graves points out how myths of origin and eventual extinction vary according to the climate and that one finds a warm celestial afterworld in the north or a fresh flowered Elysian Field in Greece. He also deals with the Akan of Ghana and with Egypt and India. His conclusion is tha

Uncle Karl’s been very busy over the last few days. If you are brave enough, you can listen to his speech delivered in support of Tom Reynolds (caught in the Foley scandal, btw) the other day. The speech is littered with the usual references to Nine Eleven, WW II, and all sorts of heroic behavior they suggest they’ve perpetrated.
In it, he’s on full spin mode and even suggests we buy a book of the written by Osama Bin Laden (Message to the World). Now if you ask me, any one at that level of the government that advocates that we read the messages of OBL is delivering the devil to our doorstep. Who is serving whom?
You have to ask how much of the speech is myth and pure fabrication. For people who are openly abject to speaking about hypothetical situations, Rove and his pals sure are prone to soothsaying and prophesizing about the future should the Dems win in November. Garry Trudeau has a fantastic comic strip this Sunday that identifies their strategy qui
