Greek Gods Track 14 Verse 1 The Ancient Greeks lived by a religion God of light and knowledge and the sun is his symbol That was made of many gods Hermes is the messenger That’s called polytheism Bolt ain’t got a thing on ‘em They had that everywhere from Athens to Crete He like Jordan cuz his shoes got some wings on ‘em Let’s flash back to the past Now who’s the goddess of wisdom? that’s Athena And spit facts from the Greeks But she can be a warrior princess like Xena The Titans descended from Gaia and Uranus Love is the strongest force known to man The Earth and the Heavens In a sense, Aphrodite is the strongest in the land Would be another way to say it And I ain’t tell you that Apollo is the god of music And from them came Olympians But it wouldn’t be MindMuzic, if I didn’t do it, ya dig? Zeus was the top dog Fought for the top spot, Titans got knocked off Verse 4 Now it’s Zeus’ time but where he gon’ kick it? Gaia - personification of the Earth, Mother Earth Somewhere with a nice view And Mother of the Titans Maybe Mount Olympus Chaos - the nothingness which all else sprang He took Hera as his wife but he kept his mistress He’s not the god of anything Now she’s a jealous woman Chronos - he’s the god of time Scorned seeking vengeance Not to be confused with Titan Cronus, Father of Zeus There were plenty gods, I mean so many gods Poseidon - known as the “Earth-Shaker” And some were having babies with mortals Creator of horses and god of the sea Creating demigods I know I said a lot and it’s sophisticated Verse 5 But it wouldn’t be MindMuzic, if I didn’t say it And Spartans never quit, they never drop their swords And they also love Ares cuz he’s the god of war Verse 2 “Battle formations,” this is who they holler for Zeus - king of the gods And when they get the order to attack The ruler of Mount Olympus and the god of the skies They marching forward Hera - queen of the heavens Hephaestus - was the god’s blacksmith And goddess of marriage and women Symbolized by the fire and the axes Ares - god of war and Zeus’ son Demeter No need to hear more Was the goddess of fertility and nature Aphrodite - goddess of love and beauty Her daughter was Persephone Desire and pleasure Hades ended up taking her He kidnapped her and took her to the underworld Verse 3 Demeter was mad cuz she couldn’t see her baby girl Poseidon is Zeus’ brother and ruler of the sea But nothing would grow so Zeus said give her back So if you taking a voyage, you better get with he But she ate the seeds for 6 months Dionysus is the life of the party, he better be So Imma give her that He the god of wine, celebration, and ecstasy So in the wintertime, when it’s below freezing Artemis - goddess of the hunt Demeter’s walking all alone, in the snow grieving Symbol of the moon, virginity, childbirth I know I said a lot and it’s sophisticated The goddess of them too But this wouldn’t be MindMuzic, if I didn’t say it She’s the kin to Apollo and that’s her twin too © 2014 MINDMUZIC Page 27 .

Lab Assignment 1
CS181: Programming Languages Vladimir Vacic, Christos Koufogiannakis University of California, Riverside Lab Assignment 1 1. Given the following graph of possible flights between seven US cities: (graph taken from the web site of the American Mathematical Society, http://www.ams.org) a) Write a Prolog program that would check if there is a route from Fresno to Dallas, from Seattle to Boston, and from Atlanta to Fresno. b) Write a C program that does the same thing. Note: you have to write complete, working programs, run them and show the results. As far as C goes, the choice of data structure to store the relations between cities is yours. Warning: if there are cycles in the graph, Prolog might never find a solution and may never say that there are no solutions. If this happens in your assignment, make a note of that. 2. Given the partial family tree of the gods of the ancient Greeks encoded as a Prolog database: parent(chaos, gaea). parent(gaea, cyclope). parent(gaea, chronos). parent(gaea, coeus). parent(gaea, oceanus). parent(uranus, cyclope). parent(uranus, chronos). parent(uranus, coeus). parent(uranus, oceanus). parent(chronos, hades). parent(chronos, poseidon). parent(chronos, zeus). parent(rhea, hades). parent(rhea, poseidon). parent(rhea, zeus). parent(coeus, leto). parent(phoebe, leto). parent(leto, apollo). parent(leto, artemis). parent(zeus, apollo). parent(zeus, artemis). parent(oceanus, iapetus). parent(tethys, iapetus). parent(hera, ares). parent(zeus, ares). male(chaos). male(cyclope). male(uranus). male(chronos). male(coeus). male(oceanus). male(hades). male(poseidon). male(zeus). male(ares). male(apollo). male(iapetus).

Edmonds III Bryn Mawr University The most striking aspect of the tiny gold tablets often known as the Orphic gold leaves is undoubtedly the enigmatic declaration: ʺI am the child of Earth and starry Heavenʺ. All of the tablets which, following Zuntzʹs classification, have been labelled B tablets, contain this mysterious formula, whether the scenario of the deceasedʹs journey through the underworld is described in greater or lesser detail1. The statement captures the imagination with its imagery and its simplicity, but also with its mysterious nature.

FATE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Jennifer Lynn Barnes | 355 pages | 10 Mar 2009 | Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group Inc | 9780385735377 | English | New York, United States Moirai - Wikipedia Pausanias mentions an ancient role of Eileythia as "the clever spinner", relating her with destiny too. The Moirai assigned to the terrible chthonic goddesses Erinyes who inflicted the punishment for evil deeds their proper functions, and with them directed fate according to necessity. As goddesses of death they appeared together with the daemons of death Keres and the infernal Erinyes. In earlier times they were represented as only a few—perhaps only one—individual goddess. Homer's Iliad xxiv. In the Odyssey vii. At Delphi, only the Fates of Birth and Death were revered. Some Greek mythographers went so far as to claim that the Moirai were the daughters of Zeus —paired with Themis "fundament" , as Hesiod had it in one passage. Whether or not providing a father even for the Moirai was a symptom of how far Greek mythographers were willing to go, in order to modify the old myths to suit the patrilineal Olympic order, [56] the claim of a paternity was certainly not acceptable to Aeschylus , Herodotus , or Plato. Despite their forbidding reputation, the Moirai could be placated as goddesses. Brides in Athens offered them locks of hair, and women swore by them. They may have originated as birth goddesses and only later acquired their reputation as the agents of destiny. According to the mythographer Apollodorus , in the Gigantomachy , the war between the Giants and Olympians, the Moirai killed the Giants Agrios and Thoon with their bronze clubs.

The Orphic accounts play their variations on the Hesiodic themes, riffing in different ways on the idea of the ultimate origin of the cosmos; the processes of reproduction by which subsequent entities were generated; the conflicts between these divinities that created the changes from the original state to the current one; the way in which humans entered the story; and the final resolution of the conflicts and changes that created the current, normal order of Zeus.

Ripped from her home and forced into the world of her stepfather, Captain Vidal and the Spanish Civil War, she hides herself away in her books and fairytales. When she is told by a Faun that she is the Princess of the Underworld, she immediately leaps at the chance to prove that she’s not mortal in order to distract herself from the patriarchal and violent world around her. Every character in the film must decide what part they play in her story, whether they will obey their superiors or create their own path, whether they will see beyond their instructions or blindly follow orders. Symbolism of eyes and sight appear everywhere, posing as a theme to guide the audience through the story and raise questions about what it really means to see. In Pan’s Labyrinth, only those who are able to open their eyes and not blind themselves with rage and make decisions beyond what they are expressly instructed to do are able to succeed. The film begins with a fantastical story about a Princess who lives in the Underworld realm who dreams of joining the human world.

The Punishment of Atlas
The Myth of Tantalus (from Wikipedia.org) In mythology, Tantalus became one of the inhabitants of Tartarus, the deepest portion of the Underworld, reserved for the punishment of evildoers; there Odysseus saw him. Tantalus was initially known for having been welcomed to Zeus’ table in Olympus. There he is said to have misbehaved and stolen ambrosia and nectar to bring it back to his people, and revealed the secrets of the gods. Most famously, Tantalus offered up his son, Pelops, as sacrifice. He cut Pelops up, boiled him, and served him up in a banquet for the gods. The gods became aware of the gruesome nature of the menu, so they didn’t touch the offering; only Demeter, distraught by the loss of her daughter, Persephone, absentmindedly ate part of the boy’s shoulder. Clotho, one of the three Fates, ordered by Zeus, brought the boy to life again (she collected the parts of the body and boiled them in a sacred cauldron), rebuilding his shoulder with one wrought of ivory made by Hephaestus and presented by Demeter. The revived Pelops grew to be an extraordinarily handsome youth. The god Poseidon took him to Mount Olympus to teach him to use chariots. Later, Zeus threw Pelops out of Olympus due to his anger at Tantalus. The Greeks of classical times claimed to be horrified by Tantalus’s doings; cannibalism, human sacrifice and infanticide were atrocities and taboo. Tantalus’s punishment for his act, now a proverbial term for temptation without satisfaction (the source of the English word “tantalize”), was to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree with low branches.

Orpheus and Orphism: Cosmology and Sacrifice at the Boundary
Orpheus and Orphism: Cosmology and Sacrifice at the Boundary Liz Locke An Interdisciplinary Prelude Knowledge is, in the final analysis, taxonomic, but a taxonomy that is allowed to merge with the object of study-which is reified so that it becomes a datum in its own right-must at best be stultifying. Were this not so, there would have been no intellectual change in human history. Thus, to see the particular reading of an ancient tragedy as refracted through a particular ideological prism, or to spell out the implications of a translator's vocabulary, syntax, and style-these things do not decrease our knowledge; they protect it. (Herzfeld 198359) I am fond of this passage by Michael Herzfeld because it points in so many directions at once. It points toward epistemology in that it asks us to examine the categorical taxonomies that underlie our assumptions about how we know what we think we know. It points toward cosmology in that it suggests that the world which produced ancient tragedy is still available to us as a precursive guide to our own sense of place in the universe. Epistemology, cosmology, and ideology have much in common: they attempt simultaneously to create and explain the bases from which we describe our knowledge of the world, of ourselves, and of the cognitive and social structures through which we circulate in the course of our lifetimes, our histories, and our projected futures. I am a folklorist because the study of folklore also points in so many directions at once. It recognizes that we cannot hope to understand much about our peculiar place in the universe without eventually taking all such questions into account.

Myth Made Fact Lesson 4: Three Generations of Gods with Dr
Myth Made Fact Lesson 4: Three Generations of Gods with Dr. Louis Markos Outline: What is unique about mythology as opposed to the Bible? “In the beginning, God…” In every mythology it is “In the beginning, stuff (matter)…” Aristotle believed that both God and the universe were eternal, but he couldn’t imagine a spirit in the beginning with no matter. God created the world ex nihilo (out of nothing). In Greek mythology, out of primordial chaos comes night and earth. Earth is the primal deity. Eventually the gods will create. In mythology the gods come out of the chaos, they do not pre-exist the chaos. Greco-Roman mythology is patriarchal. There are some mythologies that are more matriarchal. In Greek mythology the father sky god principle will predominate. o The first generation of gods are earth and sky. Earth and sky couple and out of the womb of the earth are born the Titans (Atlas, Prometheus). o Gaia gives birth to the monsters. o Chronos takes a sickle and he hides behind a rock and castrates the sky god. The Furies are formed out of the earth, they are terrifying female deities. The Furies becomes guardians over right and wrong (conscience, general revelation). o The Greeks had taboo, things that made the person and the community unclean. o The role of the Furies is that they will chase down (guilty conscience that will drive you mad) those who commit a heinous crime. Chronos (Greek), Saturn (Roman) marries his sister and they become the leader of the Titans (second generation).
