Lord of the Dead

"Then he explained: the girl he wanted must be the girl: Kore. He wanted her to sit on the throne of the dead, forever" (pg. 198).

In today's class, we continued with the final presentations. The first was a film revolving around the story of Hades's abduction of Persephone (also known as Kore). I thought it was rather well done, and brought together several lessons we've gone over throughout the class such as Sporagmos.

The second presentation was also an acted out performance, this time the live funeral of "Kyle Miller". I thought it was interesting that this presentation didn't just focus on Greek myth like the others did, but spanned several cultures: Egyptian, Pirate, Viking, Irish, Chinese, and Cowboy. Altogether, fantastic performances.
