Homers »Odyssee«, entstanden im 8. Jahrhundert vor Christus, ist das älteste Werk der griechischen und abendländischen Literatur. Es beschreibt die abenteuerliche Irrfahrt und die glückliche Heimkehr des Königs Odysseus, der zwanzig Jahre zuvor auf griechischer Seite am Kampf um Troja teilgenommen hatte. Bereits in der Antike nahm die »Odyssee« eine überragende Stellung ein – und die Wirkung des Werkes auf die europäische Literatur- und Geistesgeschichte ist noch immer ungebrochen. Davon zeugen neben bedeutenden literarischen Werken wie etwa James Joyce’ Ulysses auch zahlreiche Verfilmungen. Die »Odyssee« – jetzt einer wunderbar lesbaren Prosafassung. Wer sich bisher nicht an Homer heranwagte, weil er sich durch die Versform oder die altertümliche Sprache der vorliegenden Übersetzungen abgeschreckt fühlte, kann in der Übertragung von Karl Ferdinand Lempp die »Odyssee« als das erleben, was dieses älteste Dokument der europäischen Literatur wirklich ist: ein fesselnder Roman.

William Thomas Stead, editor of Review of Reviews, published a brief article that discussed a story found in Lucifer magazine, describing a plant in Nicaragua called by the natives The Devil's Snare. This plant had the capability "to drain the blood of any living thing which comes within its death-dealing touch." According to the article: Mr. Dunstan, naturalist, who has recently returned from Central America, where he spent nearly two years in the study of the flora and the fauna of the country

From the Morgan-Greer Tarot, the Five of Swords: I've always thought this card should be entitled "The Pyrrhic Victory." The guy with the smug smile and the swords has won the argument, but he has destroyed something more important in the process - his relationships and the respect others have for him. Whenever there is a difference of opinion or beliefs, it is sometimes hard to remember that perhaps my knowledge is limited. When engaged with someone who is in the same place, there is a desire to belittle, bait, and obliterate. But like the "winner" in the image above, I will soon find that I've lost much more than I've gained. From the Goddesses and Sirens Oracle comes the card "Sirens/Temptation:" With women as beautiful as these, I can see why men might overlook the monster lurking in the background or the collection of skulls and skeletons strewn about. And once they do see them, it's too late. Just as the Sirens lured sailors to their death with their songs, I can get caught up in my emotions or a self-righteous attitude. If I act from this place of imbalance (as it is tempting to think I know what is best), I invariably wind up with a mess to clean up. Best to check for those bones lying about first...

Third Graders learned about Ancient Greek Pottery and the Olympics! I wanted my third graders to work on drawing full bodies. I feel like so often I have students still trying to get away with drawing stick figures! NOT acceptable...unless the project calls for it! 1. First 3rd graders used a circle tracer to make a circle on an orange piece of paper 2. They drew themselves with pencil playing any sport of their choice. 3. Using a thin and ultra fine sharpie they traced their bodies and filled in some areas black. 4. Students cut out circle and glued down in the middle of a cardboard circle. (These were left from the previous teacher, but I know she ordered them through a catalog...just not sure which one). 5. Using peach, tan, light brown, brown and black, students created radial designs. I stressed to them to use lightest to darkest colors. Here are our red figured Olympic plates!
