		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve heard of King Midas of the &#8220;Golden Touch,&#8221; monarch of ancient Phrygia (See theoi.com&#8217;s Midas entry for classical Greek and Roman sources.) Probably you&#8217;ve heard Nathaniel Hawthorne&#8217;s version, which makes Midas into a moralistic fable about gold-greed and appreciating the simple things in life. Hawthorne supplies King Midas with a daughter to drive the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, here&#8217;s an irony for you. Irene, the hurricane which is currently pounding the east coast with wind, rain, storm surge, tornadoes, etc is named after the Greek goddess of peace, Εἰρήνη (Eirene, pronounced eye-RAY-nay). The Romans called her by the more familiar name of Pax. Eirene/Irene was one of the three horai, goddesses of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An old logic joke goes like this: I. Nothing is better than eternal happiness. II. A ham sandwich is better than nothing. III. Therefore, a ham sandwich is better than eternal happiness! It turns out that there are a lot of ham sandwich myths trying to reassure us that our life is tasty just as [...]]]></description>

I learned about Nevada&#8217;s Shoe Tree on the &#8220;Loneliest Road in the World&#8221; from a touching article in the Los Angeles Times. In December 2010, this modern-day sacred tree was cut down by vandals with a chainsaw, after serving as a curious and cryptic symbol in [...]]]></description>

Floods are epic events that claim or change lives, fundamentally altering landscapes and leaving traumatic memories in their wake. Unless you have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cornucopia, or Horn of Plenty, is actually the horn of the goat Amalthea, the nurse of baby Zeus in Greek mythology. Zeus, ruler of the Greek pantheon, had a rough upbringing. His father Cronos knew that a son was destined to depose him, just as he had deposed (and castrated!) his father Ouranos. Cronos, [...]]]></description>

There was a youth in ancient Corinth who played the lyre with such skill that many said he was taught by the legendary musician Orpheus, for he had the power to charm beasts with his songs.

Nevertheless, when we hail these ancient gods and goddesses, we must remember whom we are calling. As a graduate of Bryn Mawr College, which regards Athena as a muse of the mind, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Goddess Athena wants you to strap on your thinking caps and test yourself! I&#8217;ve created a series of Greek Mythology Trivia Quizzes. Some are tough; they&#8217;re designed for students of Greek mythology and classics to test themselves. Others are easier. For all of them, I&#8217;ve included &#8220;mini-myths&#8221; and Greek art (mostly vase paintings) following [...]]]></description>

Moving into my new home, starting my dissertation, and a flurry of life happenings pushed my mythology blog onto the back burner for nine months. Let me jump right back in on a current topic: politics and myth. The recent U.S. election campaigns revolved largely around myth [...]]]></description>
