LyriqueTragedy

This page is only one of many that Theoi provides full of rich, detailed, well researched and documented information. The pages contain the etomology of the names, greek spellings, and direct translation. Contained are images of art, excerpts from literature, and a geneology of topic of research.

In terms of the Muses (Mousai), this site is by far the most informative, logically constructed and well documented.

I'm not afraid of some shamless advertisment! I've launched a review site that, right now, is based on Blogger and is focused on Book reviews, Film reviews and Author interviews. I include links to Agents, publishers, and useful writerly pages for aspiring writers. Comments are always welcome! Enjoy!

I have currently undertaken the challenge to stop smoking--something I have tried 8 times over the course of the year 2006 with no great success. Behavioral therapy, gums, patches (which give me even crazier dreams than I already am subject to) and substitutes failed to work. But I have great faith in the homeopathy of Lobelia! I'll let you know how it goes...



From the page: "An active ingredient in the lobelia plant, lobeline, is similar to nicotine in its effect on the body. Like nicotine, it stimulates nerves in the central nervous system. In fact, lobeline has been used as a nicotine substitute in many anti-smoking products and preparations designed to break the smoking habit. In 1993, however, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prohibited the sale of lobeline-containing smoking products because, according to the FDA report, they lacked effectiveness in helping people quit or reduce smoking."

Now, just because the FDA says it doesn't work doesn't mean that it doesn't. Plenty of Homeopathic remedies have been successful (at least for me and many folks I know) without the thumbs up from the FDA. It also helps that I treat all Tobacco and government interaction with suspiscion. I'll keep you posted!

Tasmanian Wolf or Thylacine, Thylacinus cynocephalus

The Tasmanian Wolf is not a wolf, but a carnivorous marsupial and a relative of wombats and kangaroos. It even has a pouch. Tasmanian officials promoting ranching paid bounties to hunters. Believed to be extinct for well over half a century, unconfirmed reported sightings persist.


Great site with info and images of extinct animals. Some sketches, some photographs. Good place to start.

Student finds Frost poem lost for 88 years

· Letter held clue to work in US college library
· American poet's war verse handwritten inside book

This is every graduate student in literature's dream, not to mention most every scholar in literary academia. It's so infrequent that works are discovered, that anytime it occurs it is bound to be exciting.

From the Page:

Hamlet on the Ramparts is an evolving collection that will expand to include other texts, images, films, sound recordings and digitial artifacts. Planned additions include commentary by major scholars and a forum for user participation.

For this initial phase, we have assembled electronic texts of three major modern editions (the Arden, the Folger, and the Oxford), page images of the first three printed editions of the play (The First Folio, The First Quarto, The Second Quarto), an extensive collection of artwork and photographs, and sequences from three film versions -- the Forbes-Robertson film of 1913, the Ragnar Lyth film of 1984, and the filmed record of the Richard Burton-John Gielgud production of 1964.

Official site of the latest cinematic production of Macbeth adapted by Sam Worthington and directed by Geoffrey Wright (of Romper Stomper fame). Dark and fast paced with a modern motif, set in the underworld of Melbourne. The site itself provides teaching materials, director commentaries and a great trailer.
