Everyone loves a good wander
In today's first reading, Theseus spends time wandering. Come to think of it, so does Dionysius. If we recall from yesterday, Hercules spend time wandering and all it seemed like Orion and Artemis did was roam around. Why do you think so many myths involve the idea of wandering (or walking around aimlessly)?

I think they always are walking around because they dont have anything else to do but go on missions in go by there own life
ReplyDeleteI think in most ancient greek myths everyone wanders around because they want to make it seem like during the journey of roaming around they will run into something important or something they will have to fight off. such as a minotaur or a thief etc... The main point is in each ancient greece myth they will run into something there gonna have to face in there journey/wander.
ReplyDeleteI think that most of them did alot of wandering becasue honestly I feel like they had nothing eles to do with themselves and i think they were looking for something to do.
ReplyDelete@ARIADNE: i agree with you. they did say they had nothing to do so they told stories and that is how myths started.
ReplyDeletei'm guessing th reason for it is maybe the myths start off as characters not having a since of direction and then later on in the story they begin to fingd out the reson for their wandering i dont know maybe you guys might have a different and better guess
ReplyDeletei think that they involve wandering a lot because they probably have nothing else to do so they just wander off to figure out what to do with their lives.
ReplyDeleteI feel that they did alot of wandering because they had nothing to do and if they wandered around they would find something to do. I guess all the wandering they did helped them cum up with the myths they came up with.
ReplyDeletei think they just wander around because they have nuttin better to do then just walk around or maybe in the story waliking around is improtant to the ancient greeks
ReplyDeletei feel that its crazy,because why would you just walk around in you dont have anything else to do but just that
ReplyDeletei think that the myths walked n wander around some much is because they wanted to tell stories of there lives. Like wen Dionysus was wandering n the pirates caught them.
ReplyDeletei agree with ARIADNE because all the gods do is walk around and get upset at one another
ReplyDeletethank you....like they wake up in say iam going to get mad at this god or this person i kill them.
ReplyDeletei also think the gods wonder when their is not problem so when their bored i guessing they try to cause problems amongst each other or with or people
ReplyDeleteAh, Icarus. Welcome on board. I like that comment. So you think that by wandering you can find yourself.
ReplyDeleteEVERYONE--do you agree? Do we find ourselves by roaming around?
the both of them went for many walks and many people strange ppl were trying to kill them.
ReplyDeletei agree as well that they had nothing else to do and began writing myths.
ReplyDeleteyup thats exactly what it is
ReplyDeletewe find ouerselves by being who we are, doing what we do, and just being oursleves basically...
ReplyDeletewe dont find ourselves because we are just wailking around doing nuttin

ReplyDeleteI BELIEVE THEY WANDER BECAUSE THEY WANT ATTENTION AND THEY WANT TO BE NOTICED BECAUSE OF A CERTAIN ABILITY THEY HAVE FOR EXAMPLE WHEN DIONYSUS WERE CAPUTURED BY THOSE PIRATES HE SET CONFIDENTLY AND CALM LIKE HE KNEW HE WAS POWERFUL TO ME THATS ARROGANCE AND WHEN YOU HAVE AN EGO YOU WANT TO BE NOTICE
i think we do find ourselves becasue its the only way as humans we know how. and not by finding ourselves through our friends.
ReplyDeletei do not think we find ourselves by roaming around i think people do it to get their mind of things or because their bored cause i know i do the same sometimes
ReplyDeletei dont find myself wandering around because i have a life in my family is at home which mean i would never have to just wander around because i dont have anything else to do
ReplyDelete@Athena E: Sorry to say it but you are wrong, our friends actually shows who we are, because in order to have a friend you have to have the same things in common. so pretty much a friend is just like you
ReplyDeleteMSWANDERER1 SAID:
ReplyDeletetheres many ways you cn find yourself besides wandering
Do we ever really find ourselves?
ReplyDeletebut it depends on what tho..?
ReplyDeleteMSWANDERER1 SAID:
ReplyDelete@iammortal17 i am with you 100%
that is actuallly a hard question to answer, in my point of view i don't think that question can be answered.
ReplyDelete@Ms.Hughes yes we find ourselves when we know what we are doing
ReplyDeletei really dont know if we could find ourselves because you dont know what your really looking for
ReplyDelete@ iammortal17 i find it hard to believe becasue most people now a days change themselves when they are with they friends just to feel accepted. so in reality your friends dont help you find yourself. they change you
ReplyDeleteAethra said-
ReplyDeletei think they were going around killing people to show them that they we men now. And how they learn from what they saw as they were kids in learning to be a fighter.
i think many myths involve wandering around because sooner or later the wandering will lead to something happening!!!
ReplyDeleteI think your friends do help you find your self. Its up to you to choose friends that are going to help you find your self with out changing who you are. Friends can help you change(if you want them to)for the good or for the bad,its all up to you.
ReplyDeletei disagree with the fact that your friends help u find your self because sometime they can change u. like Hercules was with Hera n she changed him so much that he killed his family.
ReplyDeleteLEE U DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHO YOUR FRIENDS R
