World of Mythology. Anonymous Hi there!
Great blog. :) I don't know if I'll get an answer any time soon, since you seem to be a bit inactive on this blog, but I've got no one else to ask! I'm interested in reading "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller, but I fear that my knowledge on Greek mythology is not concrete enough for me to fully enjoy and appreciate the story. I'm really worried that my ignorance will ruin the effect of the novel.
Will the book provide enough information, or should I read Homer's works first? Hi there! First off, my apologies in the lateness of this response — I have moved to updating this blog only occasionally as my work has become much more demanding— but I hope late is better than never. :-) I don’t think you need to have a vast knowledge of Homer or Greek mythology to read, understand, and enjoy Madeline Miller’s “Song of Achilles”. There really isn’t a clear “starting point” with greek mythology. Modern Socio Paths. ___________ The Oddment Emporium. Joy, a brown and white spaniel, was a constant companion to Tsarevich Alexei, the only son of Tsar Nicholas II, before the Imperial family were murdered by the Bolsheviks at Ipatiev House in 1918.
As the Communist revolutionaries desired to leave no trace of the royal family they were also believed to have killed three of their beloved pets. However, it has now been revealed how the execution squad took pity on one dog, Joy, and allowed him to survive. When they returned to the house eight days later they found him running around in a rather malnourished state and scarred but gun fire, but very much alive. Joy lost his sight, would barely eat, and would seem constantly to be searching for his master. A former lady-in-waiting to Empress Alexandra was invited to examine Joy and confirm that he had indeed belonged the Alexei.
Joy was eventually re-homed with Pavel Rodzianko, a soldier in the British Army, who brought him back to England when the British were expelled from Russia. This isn't happiness™ Peteski. Analytical Method. Maenad memes. Feminist Photography Project. Stacia Scott 1.

(ROBERTO SCHMIDT/AFP/Getty Images) Fresh off the latest round of controversy regarding when and where it’s appropriate to take a photo of yourself, President Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt apparently snapped a selfie at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service, where they’re all guests.
The photo shows the three smiling for a smartphone while Michelle Obama stares into the distance. A series of hilarious follow-up photos, practically screaming for a caption contest, show Obama laughing with Thorning-Schmidt and touching her arm before turning inexplicably somber. The first lady looks stern -- dare we say disapproving? -- throughout. Thorning-Schmidt and Obama have met officially at least twice before, most recently in September in Stockholm. For the record, CNN last October asked Emily Post, that last bastion of old-school etiquette in this topsy-turvy Internet world, whether it was ever okay to take selfies at funerals. “No!” WE ARE STAR STUFF.
