Myths 2nd entry

ARIADNE

I like this myth because it is related to Theseus’ myth from a different point of view. I enjoy things seen in a different perspective and in fact, I truly believe that we should look at everything from different points of view, to take wise decisions in life. This myth proves that there are always happy conclusions. I sincerely don’t know about someone who ends up loosing everything in life because at the end, they turn out to be happy with what they are. For example, you see many poor people on the streets but you also see many poor kids out there playing and having loads of fun.

RHOECUS

This story shows that there are consequences for everything that you do in life. There might be bad if you do wrong but they may turn out to be great if that is what you do. I think this story relates with Karma, which relates to everything in life. Even in Gilgamesh, the law of Karma is in action. When Gilgamesh and Enkidu disobeyed the gods, killed Huwawa, and killed the Bull of Heaven, their actions were returned with death. This is why in personally believe on doing good and receiving good. That is why I personally try to avoid bad thoughts and wrong actions, because they tend to come back to you.

ADMETUS AND ALGESTIS


I can’t stop thinking about how all these stories relate to one another. The hero of this story is Hercules, which has his own story. I haven’t read Hercules but it may be possible that what he did in this myth, may relate to the tasks that he had to do in his own story. I like the idea that the stories relate because that is how everything works in real life. You may have your story written down on a book containing hundreds of different names which may even play an important role in your life. The fact that they are important on your life doesn’t change the fact they have their own life in which they have their own separate events.
