Last night, I read the myths: Hebe and Ganymede, Roman Divinities, and Penelope. The first one was about Hebe, the goddess of youth, who fell in love with hercules and thus resigned to her possition, and being later replaced by Ganymede. The myth about Roman Divinities is one names and describes some of the gods that were taken from Greek mythology and adapted to that of Roman. This , I believe is the most interesting of the myths I read because Through this work of fantasy, I can find a true likeness with what we lead of our own lives. For example: every human being seems to be goo at something, meaning they posses a certain talent; but at the same time, some humans can be good at the same thing, although there will always be one who stands out as the best. Finally, the myth of Penelope was one that rather caught my attention as well. IT told the story of a woman who stayed forever waiting for her husband, and weaving a cloak that would determine when her wait was done. Yet, she kept undoing what was already done, in order to postpone the finishing of the cloak, thus making her wait forever. Again, this is something that I consider myself to be an expert at. I am always trying to give myself more time to do something and am always thinking of what chance might come i might take. I am always thinking of what I will do tomorrow, or then; but never of what I should be doing today, now...
