Lord of the Rings

Greek mythology portrays Zeus - father of Gods and Men - as a divinity King known for his erotic escapades: impossible to precisely calculate in number, but generally thought to be over 150 lovers, including men. Impressive, to say the least, until you consider the curious case of NBA Legend Wilt Chamberlain - a Giant of a man, on and off the court - who boasted of having slept with 10,000-20,000 women.  Chamberlain defended himself, saying "I was just doing what was natural — chasing good-looking ladies, whoever they were and wherever they were available" When manly polygamous inclinations become buffeted about by female sexual irresistability, it doesen't take a lesson in Greek sophistry to predict the outcome(s); even mightly Zeus - he of the terrible thunderbolt weapon and golden eagle - never failed to seed when passion sealed the deal.

Musical Interlude Lifeforce

"Rhythm, as Greek theorists acknowkledged, is what gives music life..." (Oxford Classical Dictionary) It strains credulity, then, that musicians who put forth commercialized, inert pap can rightly call themeselves 'musicians'; a sound that grabs not human physicality wafts gently into the irrevelant abyss.

Both the Greeks and the Romans praised the 'unadorned woman'; yet, men could not help but to sneek a peek, and check to see if their lover's dressing table most assuredly had, all the aids to beauty - including "mirrors, combs, stirgils, razors, scissors, curling tongs, hairpins, nail-files and ear picks." (Oxford Classical Dictionary) You've come a long way, baby! #medusaclimax
