So, what is with
all the dual-dads in mythology, anyway? That's the topic on the blog over yonder today, and fitting too, since I'm just getting into Theseus with the Nano book. It really is a fascinating phenomenon, recurring several times in classical myths with all the major demi-god heroes. From this, I'm extrapolating that it was not a good thing to be an illegitimate child way back when.
...and now that I've written this, I'm wondering if Jesus isn't also part of that same mythological Trope--son of both Joseph and God. Hmmm. Thoughts?
In other GREAT AND EXCITING news, I have a new post up at GeekaChicas, where the good folks there have published
an original letter from Helen to her brother Pollux written by me as part of a NaNoWriMo tie-in series we'll be doing, asking how everyone's noveling is going. Consider it some teaser/bonus content! More will be on the way--Look for Pollux's response next weekish.
While you're over there, if you haven't already, take a look at my post from last week about
Religion, Evolution, and Thor. There's some good discussion going on in the comments, and I'd love to hear more thoughts and responses! It's exactly this kind of dialogue that I'd love to have with people on my blog--but I don't have the audience for it yet, I guess. It's definitely worth checking out though.
And that's it for this edition of Pimp my Blog-- join us on Friday for another round. We'll be back later today with some Nanwrimo word count update information!
