NOTES FROM MARCH 21, 2007



On the topic of Christians for the begging of the class we discovered that there are 2 out of 40 people in that class that are Christians, but I'm sure this is not true....


And also, we are certain that Elvis is not dead, he lives....he is very obese, but is not dead.

Ovivd's Metamorphoses:
The story of Pentheus, meaning greif. (also meaning mourning or sorrow)
---Not somthing to name your kid, they grow up to be a mad of constant sorrow.

----------HIS MOM EXPLODED!!---------

Thebes City Story: planted serpent teeth and out of the ground, from which there sprang a race of fierce armed men, called Spartes. By throwing a stone among them, Cadmus caused them to fall upon one another until only five survived, who assisted him to build the Cadmeia or citadel of Thebes, and became the founders of the noblest families of that city.

Cadmus had four daughters, and all were bad: Ino, Autonoe, Agave, and Semele
Autonoe was the mother of Acteon, who was looking at a naked woman with unpure thoughts and was torn apart...SPARAGMOS....by his own dogs. Semele wanted to see God as God in his natural form.

Lessonof the day from Dr. Sexson: When someone asks you to do them a favor, ask WHAT IS IT FIRST, never agree to do anything before you know what your agreeing to. Also: Rent the movie "Iris".

The Metamorphoses of Ovid is all about doing it again, much like ground hogs day, we must go through our day over and over again until we get it right.

Homework Assignments::


1.) For extra credit dress up as a Maenad, with a dress, wig, head band, and dance!


2.) Start a cult in Bozeman dedicated to Dionysis, must have lots of wine, snakes, cattle, costumes, and enough strength to lift trees.


3.) Pick a favorite story from Ovid's and blog why its the favorite, and add art of the story.
