The historical dimension of Greek myths ~ 30.09.09

I’m so very sorry about not updating in a whole month of time, but since school has started, life has been getting so madly hectic too, that I hardly find the time to be online.
Please, be patient with my sister Ambrosia too, because she’s being as busy as me, okay? ^^

So anyway, I don’t want to talk about anything personal tonight… so I’ll tell you about something that caught my attention today at school. It’s a deep reflection about an article we read online with our teacher: “The historical dimension of Greek myths”

Basically, it tells us that, if nowadays we get to know so much about the Greek mythology and the Mycenaean world, it’s all thanks to the brilliant archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who was pushed by his deep love for the ancient myths to go to Troy and all of the ancient cities in the 1870s to search for confirmations of the famous myths. What is amazing, is that he found out that those beautiful myths were originated by human creativity to explain and give sense to natural events, since the time of Neolithic era. Also, if we try to know get our minds to think as the human beings of that time used to think, we can get to deeply understand the myths themselves too, and the beautiful epic poems of Homer and Ovid’s “Metamorphoses“. It’s all so fascinating! *_*

What is your favourite myth or mythological figure? Please share!
P.S. I also suggest that you read this article titled “A Home Staging Challenge” because I found it so cool!

I got new hostees! _ ~ 21.08.09

Awww! Thank you so much girls for asking me to be your host!!! I’m so so happy to have hostees at last! *_*

Also, please forgive me for not providing a so good hosting support. I have been without connection for weeks and that really got me behind with a lot of online stuff. I hope to catch up with everything soon.

Sooo… I have been looking for new stuff to buy before school starts next month. Hehe. A silver diamond, for instance, to wear when I go out with my beloved Megatron. Also, there are some good novel books I’d love to buy to read on the weekends. And some new fashion clothes. Hehe. :3 Fashion always gotta be in my top list! I’m also very happy that ShopWiki (my favourite comparing site for shopping) is extending its services to Europe too! That’s why I’ve linked to European sites here. W00t! I hope it’ll open in Italy soon too Yay for ShopWiki and European shopping!
