Cupid: A Tale of Love and Desire | Julius Lester

I colored this picture of Cupid and wrote a factual haiku about him. I found my information on Google.

Indian Mythology | Devdutt Pattanaik

Devdutt Pattanaik, a renowned mythologist, explores Purushartha—the four aims of human life in Hinduism. These include Dharma (righteousness and moral duty), Artha (material wealth and prosperity), Kama (pleasure and emotional fulfillment), and Moksha (spiritual liberation and self-realization). Pattanaik highlights how these goals help individuals balance ethics, wealth, desires, and spirituality, leading to a fulfilling and harmonious life.

Norse Mythology: Great Stories from the Eddas | Hamilton Wright Mabie

I think I have been in book burnout the last month and a bit. So I decided to focus on crafting things during that time (it‘s winter, items are needed for our local foodbank). Now I have n urge to read, so hoping to get back into it.

The Voyage Home | Pat Barker

pick

The Voyage Home (Women of Troy 3), by Pat Barker (2024) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: A Trojan nurse accompanies the doomed prophetess Cassandra to her fate as Agamemnon‘s entourage returns home.

Review: In a landscape overstuffed with retellings, once again this effort from Pat Barker elevates the genre to its full potential. It was jarring not to have Briseis as our point-of-view character in this third book. Cont.

Mattsbookaday But, I was glad to see Cassandra‘s story brought to its satisfying, sad and fated end. There‘s a reason why these stories have survived for thousands of years; they reflect incredible psychological depth and complexity, and I‘m grateful for Pat Barker for going above and beyond in shining a new light on them.

Bookish Pair: For a fun recent novel that uses Euripides‘s take on this saga as a backdrop, Ferdia Lennon‘s Glorious Exploits (2024). 2mo
