theses are a few thoughts this morning.
Since Elementary school, I've always hoped to study a little Greek/Roman mythology; however, i didn't. The academic class I was enrolled in, then - the subjects covered in class at the time: American History; including studies of concepts of the American Constitution, memorizing the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence, and elementary stuff.
LOL! I was enrolled in ESL; however, overall a humbling experience.
Luckily, my sister was enrolled in a more 'advanced' elementary class than I. Our class agendas were very different. Somedays looked forward asking her to 'tell me a story'; what did you learn in class today? Fortunately, she had the time and patience for me.
remark:
In retrospect, **smiles** sure! the stories were passed to me via word of mouth; (not beside a campfire or community gathering, where the head muchacho had the 'spirit stick' or some silliness alike)
I revisit the stories at libraries, at bookstores, during movie adaptations, and during everyday Life Imitating Art and vice versa situations, etc. In addition, I feel fortunate to had the teachers cover the subject (slightly) during Anthropology at HS
One of my personal projects during Elementary school, was the handwritten (greek/roman) Family Tree **smiles** sources used to make the Tree were books, then found in the local public library. (most likely, the Panorama City LAPL)
The childhood paper; is lost most likely it had been thrown away, not intentionally; by accident perhaps. what i remember of it: it was written in pencil on paper that wasn't white, more like off-white color.
There will always be differences of origin roots of 'each mythological Character'; and a handful of memorizing and stuff to go along with it.
Today, I forgotten most stories, last one i recalled reading; was a few years ago. I revisited the 'mythological' story of Selene and Endymion while thumbing through an illustrated book in a bookstore in Studio City, CA
something about 'eternal' sleep sounds tragic.
Something this morning had me googling a little more information about that book
anyhow, Good Morning!
