    Pandora's box

    I think my list would include Niobe, for being stupid enough to brag that she was better than Leto. Arachne deserves to be on that list for the same hubris, but I think Aphrodite is more clever than you give her credit for. Example- in some versions of Hippomenes and Atalanta, after they forget...

    Your favorite character?

    I love Athena, but Hermes is always entertaining. His tricks are clever-- like walking cattle backwards to lead trackers in the wrong direction.

    Are the places real?

    There's a field, I wanna say in Crete but don't quote me on that, with red clay where paleontologists found a lot of surfaced dinosaur bones and they believe that is the real inspiration for the mythic location of the Titanomachy.

    Immortals movie

    I'm very excited, especially because Henry Cavill is Theseus. It's good to see him really breaking out (aside from the Tudors).

    Mythology joke

    Hahaha. Puns are the highest form of humour.

    Pandora's box

    This story has always been one that fascinated me. Usually when it's told, however, Hope is left at the bottom (in fact, the only place I've seen reference to the bug was on a children's myth site). It always confused me, wondering if that meant that hope remained or that hope was still stuck in...
