Mythical Locations in Reality

Jenn — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 20:52:41 +0000

I've noticed a few cases of locations that are referenced with regard to a real location but in a mythical context, for example: Aeolia, the floating island occupied by Aelous, keeper of the winds, is likely a mythical addition to the Aeolian islands. A similar example would be the relationship between Hades and Tartarus, in which the former has sources supporting a geographic location for the entrance. It would therefore be tempting to associate it with Tartarus, but Tartarus exists purely in the mythical context. Greg is looking at a way to associate cases like this where it is a mythical overlay transposed on a real geographic location.

To do please

I believe argiveTerritory in places.xml is the same as Argolis. If so, please make it an aka of Argolis and adjust texts accordingly.

Hey everyone, I wrapped up my contract today, and I just wanted to say that if there are any questions about things I've tagged or posted, I'm happy to touch base on them, just email me. Also, I've marked up book 5 of the Iliad up to 5.576, if anyone wants to take over.

The word "δαίμων" appears in Iliad 5.431, and is tagged as term. Because of this, the sentence in the reader is missing a noun: "When he was coming on for the fourth time, equal to a."

I have added in "Daimon" is Butler wrote it in his translation. If this convention is to be followed, we'll probably need a tag for this demigod type word.

We spoke at various points about creating a list of mythical half living potentially magical objects that seem to have agency or power in some odd way:

I think this post might refer to the same thinf -- http://hcmc.uvic.ca/blogs/index.php?blog=45&p=9810&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
