Ah! Crazy Roman! Why can't you just use Greek names for Greek gods!!

[bloodied_aura]

Why, huh, why? It would make my life so much easier, Ovid, it really would. But hey, who am I to criticise a classical scholar of antiquity. Clearly, I just need to learn about Roman gods, which were, er, the same as the Greek gods, so what I'm really trying to say here is that I just need to know the Roman names for Greek gods. Just like the

I am ozymandias, king of kings.

Hm, let's see. Egyptian myths have been used in several computer games, such as tomb raider the last revelation which had a puzzle involving weight a heart against a feather such as will happen when we are judged.

Hurrah!

Ooh. That is interesting. I never played Toumb Raider much. That's pretty cool though. Did it have the goddess Maat and the monster Ammut [Crocodile-leopard-hippo]? Hehe. Myths are teh fun.

Hm, and now, your reward of goodness:
Hurrah and cheers and well done, for your excellence at this thing that is living. I throw magical llama-confetti in your honour, El Presidente.

TECHNICALLY the answer should be "Ozymandias" by P.B. Shelley, rather than the first line of the poem because TECHNICALLY correct is the best kind of correctness.

[bloodied_aura]

Very well..! Because that is indeed an answer which is correct... (and I didn't even know Shelley's middle initial), I suppose, then, say something interesting about Greek or Egyptian mythology and you, too, shall reap the just rewards [ahaha, I'm so funny, except not].

Bacchus/Dionysus was a pretty cool guy.

In his book The Birth of Tragedy, the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche contrasted Dionysus with the god Apollo as a symbol of the basic, unrestrained life force versus the world of reason, form and beauty represented by the latter.

How do you say it in English? Be--e e'-c (?) kopakac ?? something? Maybe?

[bloodied_aura]

Ah, I see. Well, I think I see. It's all very intriguing. Language is fun, and awesome. *hangs head* I wish I had the patience/dedication to learn a language [especially a dead one]
Omg Egyptian would be the bomb for me. Yesss.

Percy Byche (sp!) Shelley from his poem 'Ozymandias'. I remember 'cos he was picking on my poor widdle Ramses the Great.

There were over 3000 Egyptiona gods/esses in all. But you probably knew that already. Still.

[bloodied_aura]

Hehe. We likes Ramses the Great, didn't we?

*nods* I knows that. But it's an awesome point that bears repeating. :D

Well... Even though you're not the first.. your reward!:

You! Are an independent munchkin of goodliness, and are more than adept at this life thingy. And the game. *magical flying confetti*
