It's Greek to Me!

It started with a comment on the image of Amy in my previous post by one of her friends on Facebook. That triggered a touch of inspiration and after a few minutes research on the Internet I found the story about Sunna, daughter ol Sol according to Norse mythology. So in the spirit of carrying things to the excess I started researching mythology and the Muses.

Originally there were said to be three muses but later that was expanded to nine. Muses were inspirational figures, each with their own particular specialties. From the muses I expanded my study to Greek mythology. (a damn hard subject to read that gives me a greater appreciation for the term "it's Greek to me"). The stories from Greek and other mythology actually are ways of describing actual events of conditions of ancient times in more eloquent and romantic ways.
