No seriousness allowed on this page, but, if you go there serious they probably won't get
around to doing anything about it until after you leave. Much funny and silly stuff, you
won't get anything done.

CALLIOPE (Epic Poetry) Ever since Gilgamesh and his bud Enkidu, who lay with the Harlot maiden "for six days and seven nights," people have been telling of the heroic exploits of men, women, and gods in Epic Poetry. Here are a few good spots on the Internet that Calliope has found for those of you who find this sort of thing edifying, which should cover about everyone. The Epic of Gilgamesh: The granddaddy of all epic poems, earliest fragments dating from around 3000 B.C, based on the exploits of Gilgamesh, a Mesopotamian ruler who lived in the City of Uruk. This site features a good excerpt, in prose, for those who would like a fairly short introduction to this classic, it does include all the good stuff about the Harlot maiden. (Not for children, unless you want them to ask a lot of embarrassing questions.) Warning, Gilgamesh is not a Doris Day flick script, no happy ending. Homer reputed author of the big kahoonas in the Greek and Western Civilization's Epic Poetry sweepstakes are given a synopsis here on this page from MythWeb.com A great synopsis version of the Odyssey with commentary and animated cartoon accompaniment and numerous reference information links is available at MythWeb Among numerous other interesting sites dedicated to Homer's dynamic duo are The Odyssey where you can read "the thing itself" translated by Samuel Butler.

S I N S T O W A T C H W R A T H A fascinating set of quotes from Florence King, mostly taken from her columns, over the years, in "National Review." Many of these quotes are sure to irritate someone you love, if not your own self. However, they seem to us to be in the great curmudgeonly tradition of little stomach for the cultural peccadilloes of those with whom said curmudgeon takes umbrage. She seems to see little to like about current American cultural trends. We feel she is undervaluing humorous and satirical potential. This seems somewhat dog-in-the-mangerish, since without the benighted nature of much of our culture, wherever would she, or we, be at. Behind the at, of course, but we digress. Be warned that since this particular curmudgeon counts feminism as one of her least fave raves, (bęte noire might be an appropriate term) many of her quotes are none-to-kind to devotees of that particular outlook, especially not to those pursuing the more aggressive strains. Those with weak hearts and or stomachs about criticism, satire, or mockery of such views should avoid these quotes as though they were the plague unless, of course, they want to be inspired with renewed vigor in their own curmudgeonly pursuits. This site seems to be updated often. Our favorite quotes from this web page (it was a close call): "Lacking ladylike poison, Lizzie [Borden] did what every over civilized, understated Wasp is entirely capable of doing once we finally admit we're mad as hell and aren't going to take it any more: She went from Anglo to Saxon in a trice." "We [Americans] hate good manners; they make us feel shut out and held at arm's length. We would much rather be at each other's throats, which at least has the advantage of resembling a hug." "Americans are so emotionally fragile that soon we will have to be carried around
in plastic bubbles and fed with an eye-dropper." Visit our MYSTERIES page and our Nero Wolfe & Rex Stout Home Page or our new Sherlock Holmes Page.
