Jung (Monday, 04/03/2006, 4th Period)

"All right, guys, some of you were gone during the section on mythology," said Jenny. "So it's going to be an easy day for those of you that picked myths to write your final papers on. But for those of you that haven't yet, hit www.godchecker.com, and pick out two myths--either similar or contrasting--to analyze according to Jungian principles. And let me know why you picked the ones you did." Jenny smiled. "Oh, and next week? Quiz."

OOC: And this does actually lead up to the class' 'final project,' so while this isn't required, it would be fun to see what you picked and why.

Rory looked through the database and decided to do a comparison between the Chinese god Wen-Chang (http://www.godchecker.com/pantheon/chinese-mythology.php?deity=WEN-CHANG) and the Greek god Coeus (http://www.godchecker.com/pantheon/greek-mythology.php?deity=COEUS).

"Um," she said, "I picked something that interests me. But I think it's interesting that most cultures - aside from the Greeks, bless them - don't have a female deity in charge of knowledge. And I kind of want to look at that as well as the comparison between the gods, if that's okay."

"Something that interests you is really the most important thing," said Jenny. "And actually, I think that'll be an interesting paper, so go for it. So you're going to look at gender sterotypes of the cultures in part, then?"

Rory nodded. "And how female deities are all about love and sex and motherhood, whereas the men get the cool stuff. Like, the roman god of knowledge? Actually called Men. Coicidence? Maybe."

"I've never been one to believe in coincidence there," said Jenny. "Though at least you get a few warrior type goddesses. Except most of them? Stuck with the whole 'virgin' label. What, a woman can't get in a fight and be in a relationship? ~~And no, I have no issues with this with my other character, why do you ask?~~"

Anakin looked through the database as well and was struck by the idea of Eros, the god of love, coming from Chaos.

"I've been taught that emotions should be ~~so, so repressed~~ moved past," he said, "in order to obtain a proper Jedi sense of detachment. I'd be interested to see how these two words have passed into the lexicon of modern language and how chaos and love could be connected."

"Sounds very Zen," said Jenny. "And that's a really good idea for a subject. If you're interested, you might want to talk to Professor Dream. He's pretty much rocking with the Classical languages, and he's got a solid background in myths."

"Thank you, Professor. I'll do that."

"I'm still going with Cassandra (http://www.godchecker.com/pantheon/greek-mythology.php?deity=CASSANDRA) and I found this guy named Picus (http://www.godchecker.com/pantheon/roman-mythology.php?deity=PICUS) to compare her with. Um, while one is Greek the other is Roman, but there are some interesting simliarities between the two. Plus, I always think Seers in myths are cool."

Hamlet just keeps working on the Antigone and Oedipus myths he picked out a few classes ago. ~~The choice of which has nothing to do with his Mother Complex, no no...~~

"I'm going for Cuchulainn, because he's got the whole destiny/immortality thing to deal with," Angel said. "And Brigit, since she embodies what Irish women were expected to be and was also later made a Saint."
