Mythos

Picked up a mythology book from the library today. It’s pretty awesome. Didn’t realize how in depth the storytelling goes. I feel like I’m just barely barely barely scratching the surface. Here I am thinking I wrote something pretty good. Impressed myself even, a few times.

Then reality sets in. Here’s my alter ego of self doubt coming to kick me in the teeth, like one of those teachers from grade school standing there, jeering, and sneering, shaking her finger at me with the other arm posted like an L shape on her hip. “You got a long way to go mister.” The other me, the alter ego, passion, is sneaking up from behind to slap a kick me sticker on the disapproving wench’s back. Putting up fingers one by one behind her to three and then does a pantsing motion. Like “get ready to run.” Here’s where those 6 minute miles comes in handy. I guess Acing only PE has its perks. Too bad I don’t think it’ll work in the literary sense.

In the same respects though, it is very very interesting to learn more about the different “great” authors of history even though some of them might have been concocted from someone’s imagination, or more than likely that may have been what it was. Because who do we know from the 1700s let alone bc ac ad tb std tvb mtv, whatever the damn metrics are. I should probably google those at some point. Anyway learning about this, is super fascinating. I found myself totally immersed in the literature and it’s not even that in-depth. Just a surface level book that covers what mythology just looks like and who some of the greats were.

Like Homer, Eudipicus, Aethyclus, Virgil, Oh yeah I’m probably butchering a few of those because who the heck can remember all those names at first glance. Hey fun fact. Word on the Greek Mythologian Streets, is that Gaia slept with her son Uranus (God of the skies) and gave birth to alooooooooot of sons and daughters. So at one point they were poppin goddesses and gods left and right and Uranus got scared. He was afraid that his offspring would ascend too far in power especially when he had some flings and Gaia birthed like 50 giants (or something crazy) namely 12 that Uranus tried to shove back into Gaia’s baby maker. (SHEEESH)

Mama bear wasn’t too happy about that. She started planning Uranus’ death! None of her kids were having it though except for one. Good ol Cronus. Gaia made a scythe out of uh I forgot but that shit was boss. She gave it to Cronus who posted up in their laundry basket (probably was just waiting around the corner somewhere slick) and when Uranus came to bust a loa— ahem I mean make love to the captivating, all powerful, beautiful Goddess of all entrancing goddesses, Cronus came out the cut and sliced his phallus off. Quickly discarding it in the ocean from the heavens. (Fffffffffffff)

Aphrodites actually was birthed from Uranus’ manhood that turned into a white foam. What a trip.
