The Road to Nowhere

Daedalus constructed a complex building (Labyrinth) for King Minos of Crete, which consisted of a series of interlocutory and confusing series of passages..."from which, no one could escape". As we continue to seek new and exciting ways to elevate the rote mediocracy vouchsafed by media punditry, it is instructive to note that independent critical analysis and byzantine formulation(s) offer not the surest escape from parallax views of the inner mind.

The Beast in Me

            The Oxford Classical Dictionary sets forth Greek myth(s) outlining the way of the Centaurs - a tribe of beasts with human endowments above, and horse accoutrements below - conflicted by interactions with ordinary men, while grappling with their own propensity for uncontrolled lust, sporadic violence and alcoholic greed. Modern day political machinations bear striking, parallax resemblance and ill-fated bellicosity to those complex creatures of yore, as members of both parties furiously thrash about in the quicksand of  cultural and political, self-serving dominance.

It is strange folly then, for men to profess circumvention abilities and resistance prowess as they run, not walk, from female bliss fated subjugation.#medusaclimax

What to make of vainglorious mortal women who beleieved that they were more beautiful than gods, yet dispossessed of the good sense to allay their pompous conceits? Medusa was beautiful enough to attract and make love to Poseidon, but soon paid a terrible price for her indiscretions near Athena's temple - cursed with a gaze that turned the hapless onlooker into stone! The better course, then, might be to suffer the negotiable flattery showered happily by enraptured men, and gods, skilled in the fine arts of "language, speech, fraud and ambigutiy...". #medusaclimax
