"The woman;s face gazed steadily at the god's while with her other arm, behind which trembled an imense wing, she stretched out toward the farthest extremity of everything: and where the tips of her fingernails reached, there Everthing ended. They were a royal and motionless couple: they were Time-Without Age and Anake." (Calasso 200)

If anyone wants to read the whole thing.

Jason had presented his creation myth today and it was on the creation of the world.
Even though that particular creation myth was told several times, everybody has their own way of telling it. A change of style is a change of subject.
Etiology- To be.
Ontology- Study of being.
We were given a list of myths to read from Primitive to Zen that was sent to our email.
Started talking about creation of music, The word music comes from the muses.
Separation- first phase, life is good.
Initiation- second phase, full of pain and suffering.
Transformation- third phase, "The end".
Everything in mythology can be drawn by three figures.
