Ooooooppppsssssss. Break got to me. We had some order reversal last Tuesday, group four went first.
Group 4: Jeremy, Stefanie, Rosemary, Megan, Darrel, Jessica
The theme of the presentation was how our view of mythology is altered as we go through life. They started with a quote stating that myth is out there to wake us up, not for us to wake it up. We first meet myth in it's most pure form through cartoons when we are children. We think nothing of talking rabbits who are taller than people. Bugs Bunny is the trickster of the cartoon world. The media is how we initiate the youth of the world into adulthood. There was a South Park reference in there somewhere around this part. In Western culture we believe that people need to learn for themselves. I have a somewhat random line in here about the succubus=lamia (Celtic tradition)= BAD women. The succubus were the female versions of the incubus. They had fun with the men, and typically killed them in the process. I have high school is a labrynth and college is merely a continuation of that labrynth. We are our heroes in high school and college. We also meet Dionysus and Aphrodite in college, though some meet both in high school. Media feuls the narcissitic tendencies of our society. We went over the story of King Midas and how everything he touched turned to gold. Group four left us with the question: Do we lose innocense as we age?
Group 3: Danielle, Ashley, Eric, Abby, Quentin, Bailey, myself
We did a video, Mainly it was pictures though we did have some interesting videos of us asking questions of random people in the bars. I was the only one whose character was not from the Greek mythology. I was Dorothy, and we did in fact take a picture of me in costume outside the Ruby Slipper, but it didn't make it into the video for editing purposes. We had several pictures (more than were shown, and a few videoes) of Artemis (Bailey) shooting people. For those who were there and are wondering who the guy in the blue was supposed to be, Poseidon. Eric (Hades) couldn't make it that night. We had some good pictures of Zeus (Ashley) seducing Io (Abby). We did try to clear off the Yello Brick Road for my pictures, but it was also amazingly cold out that night. We had our pictures and videoes separated out by quotes from Calasso.
