Today we began our presentation of the deities and their archetypes. Sooooooooooooooo
Any revelations? Tell me what strikes you about the way the Greeks looked at the experience of being human. What do these archetypes say about humanity? How hard is a thesis?
Only one post please but make sure it is insightful and reflective.

Blog Assignment Five
This week we examined the history and purpose of mythology. To emphasize the enduring effects of Greece upon Western civilization and culture, we look at where it appears today, even in American pop culture.
Post One: I told you to reflect on mythology as a metaphor. Select one way in which mythology is "Something else." What countless facets of life do these engaging stories represent? Explain your answer in detail.
Post Two: What have you personally learned from our introduction to mythology? What surprised you, awed you, interested you, etc. Do you have any questions? Are these ideas at odds with any of your own spiritual beliefs?

Blog Assignment Four
We have spent the last few weeks reviewing and evolving our definition of the essay. I'm sure you have some thoughts about this process.
I would like two posts. In the first:
Please tell me at least one valuable lesson you have learned so far that was not clear before. Please also tell me what aspect of the essay you will focus on for this year. Finally, relate at least one feature of the essay that remains sketchy or unclear. Do you feel this was valuable?
In the second:
Respond to the post of another student, either attempt to clarify that student's questions (yep, give it a shot) or relate to something that student has said regarding the essay.
