Mourning for Adonis

"In the thick of stones, marble, and metal at Delphi, the visitors would think of other ghosts, of the first temples to Apollo, now no more" (Calasso, pg. 146).

Today, we began presentations about our individual essays on the subject of myth and The Magus (or some such topic Professor Sexon has approved of). There were a number of both, with some essays describing females in the book or Nick's hero path, and others discussing corrolations between Disney and Myth or Star Trek and myth, all of which were quite interesting.

My own presentation isn't until next Thursday, but i'm already working on preparing the speech. As it is, my paper's argument is that the primary characters in The Magus all represent some mythological archetype. I feel confident about it... hopefully, Dr. Sexon shares that opinion.
