Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Just realized our Mythology midterm is the 10th. Which is.... a week from today. Fuuuxxxxx

Haven't even picked a hero.

It wouldn't be AS big of a deal if it were just writing a 3-5 page paper. but. She says we're to prepare it but the actual writing will be done in class that day? That's only an hour and a quarter to crank it out. I guess it'd be handwritten but ... that's CRUEL imho!

Ugh. I'm thinking of doing Electra or Antigone? I don't know. I don't want to just do Perseus, Odysseus or whatever cuz that's dull. But then again, it'd be easier to find stuff. UGHHGA;HS;LDGHASDF. Minor panic going on. The writing it on the spot thing is what worries me! I want to just write it and turn it in because otherwise it'll be a right MESS! Fua;lskdhf

hate.

I was hoping to like this class alot more than I actually do.

EDIT: maybe I could do Theseus. At least there's the minotaur and Ariadne who interests me for... extremely nerdy reasons.

shrug.

Screwwwwwwwwwwwwww this class!

Just pick someone!!!! It's not like you'll look back on this in five years and regret your choice. RAWERWER

I KNOOOWWWWW :( :(

I say go with Theseus. There's a fair amount of information around about him and he's pretty great. Also I know you don't have a lot of time but if you can (and haven't already done so) I'd recommend reading The King Must Die by Mary Renault. it's a great retelling of Theseus' life from childhood through his return to Athens from Crete.

I would but we're supposed to focus more on representation in art or something rather than the dude himself =\

guh, what? that's retarded.

well the class is "Art and Mythology"

soooo

yes.

Makes it so much harder though!

That's what I mean. It really limits what you can do.

Does it have to be a "hero" per se, or just a mythological character/event?

You could do Leda and the Swan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leda_and_the_Swan).

says "hero" specifically. i was going to do orpheus but he's not really a hero soooo damn.

Oedipus.

too much freud. though the sphinx is cool

Orpheus?

Not mortal enough i think =\

Eh, fuck it. Odysseus or Heracles.

doing theseus thx.
