Helen Of Sparta!

hello(:
My blog today will mostly be about helen of sparta and greek myths. If thats not your kinda thing, Im not sure how I LIKE you! just kidding(:
First off i have been reading this story, called Nobody's Prize. It the second to Nobodys Princess. I have not read The first on (title mishap at the book store in bend) but desided to skip to the second because i couldnt wait to go to bend, or somewhere with a book store. (the one in roseburg was walden books, which were all closed) It was an amazing story about the girl called, Helen, before her life with troy in it.

My favorite myth of all time is jason and the Argo. It tells of the dangerous quest for the golden fleese, to reclaim Jasons throne. There are several versions, one tells of a princess, Medea, that sings the dragon gaurding the fleese to sleep. All versions make Jason seem just another pretty boy. Okay backround story, in Nobodys Prize, Helen sneaks onto the Argo as a weapons barerer. They have alot of adventures, mostly they thought she was a boy named Glaecus. Finally when the relize shes a woman, (dont need to go into detail, incase boys read this) she pretends to be Atlanta, the huntress. No one could no she was Helen! The only people who new, her trusty sidekick milo, her brotheres(also aboard the argo), and two old men who were friends. The whole time Jason DOES seem like just a pretty boy, untill he pretends to fall in love with Medea, whos father owns the fleece. Medea is very jelious of "atlanta" and tries to kill her. Jason knows Helen is not atlanta, but knows she must be a princess, so he tries to protect her. He warns her of MEdeas plans and helps her excape. Helen takes a boat to Athens, where she and milo mourn over friends, but they try to find a ship to take them to Delphi. Helen gets captured by Thesues, who intends to make her his bride. They tell Helen that her dear friend Milo is dead, which makes her hate thesues even more. Later thesues' friend is introuble, he rushes to help him, leaving Helen husbandles (happy) and with a chance to excape! Well i cant tell you how this story ends, but you will have to read it yourself!



The second Myth is i want to talk about is, well, if i could, was all of them. But i just wanted to talk about my favorite greek gods. My personal favorite is Apollo, not just because of how percy jackson books represents him, but he has probably the most resposiblitly out of all the gods!



and the last myth that i love is....... drum roll......... Echo. Taz and cynj had me read this one to them, and i dont really remember how it goes but i remember i loved it.... and that this girl named Echo lost her lover, and she can only repet what people say so she couldnt tell this man she loves him. Its a very cute story and very sad, almost all greek stories are tragedy in one way or another.


We are back to jason, infact in the original story he marries the evil Medea, but he does leave her and breaks her heart, for revenge she slays their children. which is a great exaple of how greek stories all end sadly....
But what i like about Greeks was their ability to imagine!! THINK about it......

okay now on to more modern stuff, who heard about kim kardasions divorce after 72 days of marrige??? I DID! she said she thought hard and long about it, how freaking long did you really think about it, kim?

and whon heard about justin beibers baby? I think its stupid, there is no way he had a kid, and that girl just wants attention!


okay well i should go
love you all
bye
