The Iliad: the predecessor to The Odyssey
Achilles, hero of The Iliad "Achilles was the son of the mortal Peleus and the Nereid Thetis. He was the mightiest of the Greeks who fought in the Trojan War, and was the hero of Homer's Iliad.PeleusThetis Thetis attempted unsuccessfully to make her son immortal. There are two versions of the story. In the earlier version, Thetis anointed the infant with ambrosia and then placed him upon a fire to burn away his mortal portions; she was interrupted by Peleus, whereupon she abandoned both father and son in a rage. Peleus placed the child in the care of the Centaur Chiron, who raised and educated the boy. In the later version, she held the young Achilles by the heel and dipped him in the river Styx; everything the sacred waters touched became invulnerable, but the heel remained dry and therefore unprotected.ChironStyx When Achilles was a boy, the seer Calchas prophesied that the city of Troy could not be taken without his help. Thetis knew that, if her son went to Troy, he would die an early death, so she sent him to the court of Lycomedes, in Scyros; there he was hidden, disguised as a young girl. Achilles' disguise was finally penetrated by Odysseus, who placed arms and armor amidst a display of women's finery and seized upon Achilles when he was the only "maiden" to be fascinated by the swords and shields.LycomedesOdysseus Achilles then went willingly with Odysseus to Troy, leading a host of his father's Myrmidons and accompanied by his tutor Phoenix and his close friend Patroclus. At Troy, Achilles distinguished himself as an undefeatable warrior. Among his other exploits, he captured twenty-three towns in Trojan territory, including the town of Lyrnessos, where he took the woman Briseis as a war- prize. Later on Agamemnon, the leader of the Greeks, was forced by an oracle of Apollo to give up his own war-prize, the woman Chryseis, and took Briseis away from Achilles as compensation for his loss. This action sparked the central plot of the Iliad, for Achilles became enraged and refused to fight for the Greeks any further. The war went badly, and the Greeks offered handsome reparations to their greatest warrior; Achilles still refused to fight in person, but he agreed to allow his friend Patroclus to fight in his place, wearing his armor. The next day Patroclus was killed and stripped of the armor by the Trojan hero Hector, who mistook him for Achilles.MyrmidonsAgamemnonApolloChryseisHector
Achilles' death Achilles was overwhelmed with grief for his friend and rage at Hector. He returned to the fighting and killed Hector. He desecrated the body, dragging it behind his chariot before the walls of Troy, and refused to allow it to receive funeral rites. When Priam, the king of Troy and Hector's father, came secretly into the Greek camp to plead for the body, Achilles finally relented; in one of the most moving scenes of the Iliad, he received Priam graciously and allowed him to take the body away.Priam After the death of Hector, Achilles' days were numbered. He continued fighting heroically, killing many of the Trojans and their allies, including Memnon and the Amazon warrior Penthesilia. Finally Priam's son Paris (or Alexander), aided by Apollo, wounded Achilles in the heel with an arrow; Achilles died of the wound. After his death, it was decided to award Achilles' divinely-wrought armor to the bravest of the Greeks. Odysseus and Ajax competed for the prize, with each man making a speech explaining why he deserved the honor; Odysseus won, and Ajax then went mad and committed suicide.ParisAjax During his lifetime, Achilles is also said to have had a number of romantic episodes. He reportedly fell in love with Penthesilia, the Amazon maiden whom he killed in battle, and it is claimed that he married Medea"Medea Hunter, James. "Achilles".

Cronus, father of the gods A Titan, ruler of the world until he was dethroned by his own son Zeus. In Greek mythology, the Titans are a race of godlike giants who were considered to be the personifications of the forces of nature. They are the twelve children (six sons and six daughters) of Gaia and Uranus.GaiaUranus Each son married, or had children of, one of his sisters. They are: Cronus and Rhea, Iapetus and Themis, Oceanus and Tethys, Hyperion and Theia, Crius and Mnemosyne, and Coeus and Phoebe.CronusRheaIapetusThemis OceanusTethysHyperion TheiaCriusMnemosyne CoeusPhoebe "Titans" by Micha F. Lindemans
How Zeus gained control "Zeus, the youngest son of Cronus and Rhea, he was the supreme ruler of Mount Olympus and of the Pantheon of gods who resided there. Zeus was a celestial god, and originally worshiped as a weather god by the Greek tribes. These people came southward from the Balkans circa 2100 BCE. He has always been associated as being a weather god, as his main attribute is the thunderbolt, he controlled thunder, lightning and rain. He is also known to have caused thunderstorms. In Homer's epic poem the Iliad he sent thunderstorms against his enemies. The name Zeus is related to the Greek word dios, meaning "bright". His other attributes as well as lightning were the scepter, the eagle and his aegis (this was the goat-skin of Amaltheia).CronusRheaaegisAmaltheia Before the abolition of monarchies, Zeus was protector of the king and his family. Once the age of Greek kings faded into democracy he became chief judge and peacemaker, but most importantly civic god. He brought peace in place of violence and Hesiod (circa 700 BCE) describes Zeus as "the lord of justice". Zeus was also known as "Kosmetas" (orderer), "Soter" (savior), "Polieos" (overseer of the polis, city) and "Eleutherios" (guarantor of political freedoms). His duties in this role were to maintain the laws, protect suppliants, to summon festivals and to give prophecies (his oldest and most famous oracle was at Dodona, in Epirus, northwestern Greece). As the supreme deity Zeus oversaw the conduct of civilized life. But the "father of gods and men" as Homer calls him, has many mythological tales.Dodona His most famous was told by Hesiod in his Theogony, of how Zeus usurped the kingdom of the immortals from his father. This mythological tale of Zeus' struggle against the Titans (Titanomachy) had been caused by Cronus, after he had been warned that one of his children would depose him. Cronus knowing the consequences, as he had overthrown his father Uranus. To prevent this from happening Cronus swallowed his newborn children Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades and Poseidon, but his wife Rhea (who was also his sister) and Gaia her mother, wrapped a stone in swaddling clothes in place of the infant Zeus. Cronus thinking it was the newborn baby swallowed the stone. Meanwhile Rhea had her baby taken to Crete, and there, in a cave on Mount Dicte, the divine goat Amaltheia suckled and raised the infant Zeus.TitansTitanomachyUranusHestia DemeterHeraHadesPoseidonGaia When Zeus had grown into a young man he returned to his fathers domain, and with the help of Gaia, compelled Cronus to regurgitate the five children he had previously swallowed (in some versions Zeus received help from Metis who gave Cronus an emetic potion, which made him vomit up Zeus' brothers and sisters). However, Zeus led the revolt against his father and the dynasty of the Titans, defeated and then banished them. Once Zeus had control, he and his brothers divided the universe between them: Zeus gaining the heavens, Poseidon the sea and Hades the underworld. Zeus had to defend his heavenly kingdom. The three separate assaults were from the offspring of Gaia: they were the Gigantes, Typhon (Zeus fought them with his thunder-bolt and aegis) and the twin brothers who were called the Aloadae. The latter tried to gain access to the heavens by stacking Mount Ossa on top of Mount Olympus, and Mount Pelion on top of Mount Ossa, but the twins still failed in their attempt to overthrow Zeus. As he did with the Titans, Zeus banished them all to "Tartarus", which is the lowest region on earth, lower than the underworld.MetisGigantesTyphonAloadaeTartarus
Zeus' children According to legend, Metis, the goddess of prudence, was the first love of Zeus. At first she tried in vain to escape his advances, but in the end succumbed to his endeavor, and from their union Athena was conceived. Gaia warned Zeus that Metis would bear a daughter, whose son would overthrow him. On hearing this Zeus swallowed Metis, the reason for this was to continue to carry the child through to the birth himself. Hera (his wife and sister) was outraged and very jealous of her husband's affair, also of his ability to give birth without female participation. To spite Zeus she gave birth to Hephaestus parthenogenetically (without being fertilized) and it was Hephaestus who, when the time came, split open the head of Zeus, from which Athena emerged fully armed.AthenaHephaestus Zeus had many offspring; his wife Hera bore him Ares, Hephaestus, Hebe and Eileithyia, but Zeus had numerous liaisons with both goddesses and mortals. He either raped them, or used devious means to seduce the unsuspecting maidens. His union with Leto (meaning the hidden one) brought forth the twins Apollo and Artemis. Once again Hera showed her jealousy by forcing Leto to roam the earth in search of a place to give birth, as Hera had stopped her from gaining shelter on terra-firma or at sea. The only place she could go was to the isle of Delos in the middle of the Aegean, the reason being that Delos was, as legend states, a floating island.AresHebeEileithyia LetoApolloArtemis Besides deities, he also fathered many mortals. In some of his human liaisons Zeus used devious disguises. When he seduced the Spartan queen Leda, he transformed himself into a beautiful swan, and from the egg which Leda produced, two sets of twins were born: Castor and Polydeuces and Clytemnestra and Helen of Troy. He visited princess Danae as a shower of gold, and from this union the hero Perseus was born. He abducted the Phoenician princess Europa, disguised as a bull, then carried her on his back to the island of Crete where she bore three sons: Minos, Rhadamanthys and Sarpedon. Zeus also took as a lover the Trojan prince Ganymede. He was abducted by an eagle sent by Zeus (some legends believe it was Zeus disguised as an eagle). The prince was taken to Mount Olympus, where he became Zeus' cup-bearer. Zeus also used his charm and unprecedented power to seduce those he wanted, so when Zeus promised Semele that he would reveal himself in all his splendor, in order to seduce her, the union produced Dionysus, but she was destroyed when Zeus appeared as thunder and lightening. Themis, the goddess of justice bore the three Horae, goddesses of the seasons to Zeus, and also the three Moirae, known as these Fates. When Zeus had an affair with Mnemosyne, he coupled with her for nine consecutive nights, which produced nine daughters, who became known as the Muses. They entertained their father and the other gods as a celestial choir on Mount Olympus. They became deities of intellectual pursuits. Also the three Charites or Graces were born from Zeus and Eurynome. From all his children Zeus gave man all he needed to live life in an ordered and moral way.LedaCastorPolydeucesClytemnestraHelenDanaePerseusEuropaMinosRhadamanthysGanymedeSemeleDionysusThemisHoraeMoiraeMnemosyneMusesCharitesEurynome Zeus had many Temples and festivals in his honor, the most famous of his sanctuaries being Olympia, the magnificent "Temple of Zeus", which held the gold and ivory statue of the enthroned Zeus, sculpted by Phidias and hailed as one of the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World". Also the Olympic Games were held in his honorOlympic Games
Persephone, wife of Hades, god of the underworld "Persephone" by Micha F. Lindemans Persephone is the goddess of the underworld in Greek mythology. She is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, goddess of the harvest. Persephone was such a beautiful young woman that everyone loved her, even Hades wanted her for himself. One day, when she was collecting flowers on the plain of Enna, the earth suddenly opened and Hades rose up from the gap and abducted her. None but Zeus, and the all-seeing sun, Helios, had noticed it.Zeus DemeterHadesHelios Broken-hearted, Demeter wandered the earth, looking for her daughter until Helios revealed what had happened. Demeter was so angry that she withdrew herself in loneliness, and the earth ceased to be fertile. Knowing this could not continue much longer, Zeus sent Hermes down to Hades to make him release Persephone. Hades grudgingly agreed, but before she went back he gave Persephone a pomegranate (or the seeds of a pomegranate, according to some sources). When she later ate of it, it bound her to underworld forever and she had to stay there one-third of the year. The other months she stayed with her mother. When Persephone was in Hades, Demeter refused to let anything grow and winter began. This myth is a symbol of the budding and dying of nature. In the Eleusinian mysteries, this happening was celebrated in honor of Demeter and Persephone, who was known in this cult as Kore.HermesEleusinian mysteries The Romans called her Proserpine.Proserpine Her names means something like "she who destroys the light."
Cyclopes, generation one "Cyclopes" by Anna Baldwin The Cyclopes were giant beings with a single, round eye in the middle of their foreheads. According to Hesiod, they were strong, stubborn, and "abrupt of emotion." Their every action ebbed with violence and power. There are actually two generations of Cyclopes in Greek myth. The first generation consisted of three brothers, Brontes ("thunderer"), Steropes ("flasher"), and Arges ("brightener"), who came from the union of Gaia (earth) and Uranus (sky). The second generation descended from Poseidon, and the most famous of these was Polyphemus from Homer's Odyssey. Brontes, Steropes, and Arges (the three descended from Gaia and Uranus) were the inventive blacksmiths of the Olympian gods. They were skilled metal workers and created Zeus' thunderbolts, Poseidon's trident, and Hades' Helmet of Darkness that was later used by Perseus while on his quest to decapitate Medusa. However, they spent the majority of their early existence imprisoned. Their father Uranus (sky) hated all of his offspring (the Titans, Cyclopes, and Hecatonchires or hundred-handers) and kept them confined deep within Gaia (earth). The defeat of Uranus by his son Cronus (a Titan) freed the Cyclopes for a time, but Cronus was a paranoid ruler. He feared the Cyclopes' power and cast them into Tartarus (the place of punishment in the underworld) where they remained imprisoned until Zeus (an Olympian and son of Cronus) released them, requiring their aid in the Titanomachy (battle of the Titans). With the assistance of the Cyclopes and their thunderbolts, Zeus overthrew Cronus and the Titans and became ruler of the cosmos. He was grateful for the Cyclopes' help and allowed them to stay in Olympus as his armorers and helpers to Hephaestus, god of smiths. The Greeks also credited them with building the massive fortifications at Tiryns and Mycenae in the Peloponnese.GaiaUranusPoseidonZeusHadesPerseusMedusaTitansHecatonchiresCronusZeusTitanomachyHephaestus Brontes, Steropes, and Arges are mainly mentioned in passing in most of the myths to convey strength in heroes and the fine quality of weapons but are major characters in one other event – their deaths at the hands of Apollo. Zeus struck Asclepius, Apollo's son, down with a thunderbolt for having risen a person from the dead. Apollo was outraged and killed the Cyclopes who had forged the deadly thunderbolt. It appears that Apollo's rage was misplaced, yet by killing the Cyclopes, he was indirectly punishing Zeus. The ghosts of Brontes, Steropes, and Arges are said to dwell in Mt. Aetna, an active volcano that smokes as a result of their burning forges.Apollo
Homer's Cyclopes The second generation of Cyclopes was a band of lawless shepherds living in Sicily who had lost the skill of metallurgy. Polyphemus, son of Poseidon and the sea nymph Thoosa, is the only notable individual of the lot and figures prominently in Homer's Odyssey. Odysseus and his crew landed on Sicily, realm of the Cyclopes. He and a few of his best men became trapped in Polyphemus' cave when Polyphemus rolled a large boulder in front of the entrance to corral his sheep while Odysseus was still inside. Polyphemus was fond of human flesh and devoured many of the men for dinner. On the second night, Odysseus told Polyphemus that his name was "Nobody," and tricked him into drinking enough wine to pass out. While he was incapacitated, Odysseus/Nobody blinded him with a red hot poker. Polyphemus shouted in pain to the other Cyclopes on the island that "Nobody" was trying to kill him, so no one came to his rescue. Eventually, he had to roll away the stone to allow his sheep to graze. Odysseus and the remaining crew clung to the bellies of the exiting sheep where Polyphemus could not feel them as they passed him on their way to pasture and escaped. As Odysseus sailed away from the island, he shouted to Polyphemus that it was Odysseus who had blinded him. Enraged, the Cyclops threw huge boulders at the ship and shouted to his father, Poseidon, to avenge him.Odysseus Recent scholars have hypothesized about the origin of the Cyclopes' single eye. One possibility is that in ancient times, smiths could have worn an eye patch over one eye to prevent being blinded in both eyes from flying sparks. Also, smiths sometimes tattooed themselves with concentric circles which could have been in honor of the sun which provided the fire for their furnaces. Concentric rings were also part of the pattern for making bowls, helmets, masks, and other metal objects. Notice that the first generation Cyclopes were associated with metal- working while the second generation was not. Apparently, the lawless band of Cyclopes is a later addition to the myths. The incidence with Polyphemus seems to have had an independent existence from the Odyssey before Homer added it to his epic adventure. It was probably told as a separate myth at certain functions. It is uncertain why the Cyclopes were demoted from the smiths of the gods to a lawless group of monsters with no reverence for the gods. When the universe came into being, there were many monsters and vague forms that were gradually replaced with beings with more human forms. Order was replacing chaos. The monsters were phased out, and this could have lead to the transformation of the "good" Cyclopes to the "evil" Cyclopes that were destined to be fought and defeated by the divine human form.
Poseidon and Triton "Triton" by Micha F. Lindemans In Greek mythology, Triton is the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, the queen of the sea, variously given as the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys or of Nereus and Doris (all titans who were siblings of Cronus). When the sea god Poseidon wanted her as his bride, she declined the honor and hid from him in the Atlantic Ocean. A dolphin not only located her, but also brought her back to him, and he married her. The dolphin was awarded a place in heaven. Their son is the fish-man Triton.PoseidonAmphitriteOceanusTethysNereusDorisPoseidonTriton Triton lives with them in a golden palace in the depths of the sea. He rides the waves on horses and sea monsters and he carries a twisted conch shell, upon which he blows either violently or gently, to stir up or calm the waves. Triton is represented as having the body of a man with the tail of a fish, but sometimes also with the forefeet of a horse. In later times there was a multiplicity of Tritons, each attending the various divinities associated with the sea.
Aeolus "Aeolus" by Dr Anthony E. Smart Custodian of the four winds. A minor deity, he is the son of a king called Hippotes, and lived on one of the rocky Lipara islands, close to Sicily. In the caves on this island were imprisoned the winds, and Aeolos, directed by the higher gods, let out these winds as soft breezes, gales, or whatever the higher gods wished. Being visited by the Greek hero Odysseus, Aeolos received him favorably, and on the hero's departure presented Odysseus with a bag containing all the adverse winds, so that his friend might reach Ithaca with a fair wind. Odysseus did as Aeolos bid, but in sight of his homeland, having been untroubled by foul weather, he fell asleep and his men, curious, opened the bag, thus releasing all the fierce winds, which blew their ship far off course (Odyssey X, 2; Vigil I, 52). Aeolus is also the name of the legendary ancestor of the Aeolians.OdysseusAeolus
Athena "Athena" and "Nike" by Ryan Tuccinardi Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill. She was the favorite child of Zeus. She had sprung fully grown out of her father's head. Her mother was Metis, goddess of wisdom and Zeus' first wife. In fear that Metis would bear a son mightier than himself. Zeus swallowed her and she began to make a robe and helmet for her daughter. The hammering of the helmet caused Zeus great pain in the form of headaches and he cried out in agony. Skilled Hephaestus ran to his father and split his skull open and from it emerged Athena, fully grown and wearing her mother's robe and helmet. She is the virgin mother of Erichthnonius.ZeusMetisHephaestus Athena and her uncle Poseidon were both very fond of a certain city in Greece. Both of them claimed the city and it was decided that the one that could give the finest gift should have it. Leading a procession of citizens, the two gods mounted the Acropolis. Poseidon struck the side of the cliff with his trident and a spring welled up. The people marveled, but the water was as salty as Poseidon's sea and it was not very useful. Athena's gift was an olive tree, which was better because it gave the people food, oil and wood. Athena named her city Athens.Poseidon Athena's companion was the goddess of victory, Nike, and her usual attribute is the owl. Athena possessed the Aegis.NikeAegis Nike is the Greek personification of victory. She can run and fly at great speed. She is a constant companion of Athena. Nike is the daughter of Pallas and Styx and the sister of Cratos, Bia, and Zelus. She was represented as a woman with wings, dressed in a billowing robe with a wreath or staff.AthenaPallasStyxCratosBiaZelus "Aegis" by Micha F. Lindemans A protective device that was originally associated with Zeus, but also, and later solely, with Athena. It is variously considered to be a bright-edged thundercloud (because when Zeus used it lightning flashed and thunder sounded) fashioned by Hephaestus, or the skin of the divine goat Amaltheia. It is represented as a sort of cloak, sometimes covered with scales and fringed with serpents, and with the head of Medusa fastened in the middle. The Aegis could also serve as a shield and in that fashion Athena wears it upon her breastplate.ZeusAthenaHephaestusAmaltheiaMedusa
Circe by Marc Mangum Circe, daughter of the sun, was a sorceress best known for her ability to turn men into animals with her magic wand. The daughter of Perse and Helios, and whose daughter is Aega (goddess of the sun) she is remembered for her encounter with Odysseus and his men, and renowned for her knowledge of magic and poisonous herbs. HeliosOdysseus When Odysseus and his men landed in Aeaea, his crew later met with Circe and were turned into pigs. Circe's spells however had no effect on Odysseus who earlier was given an herb by Hermes to resist her power. Circe realizing she was powerless over him lifted the spell from the crew and welcomed them in her home. After about a year when Odysseus leaves she warns them of the sirens they will encounter on their journey. Circe and Odysseus also bore a child together named Telegonus who later ruled over the Tyrsenians.HermesTelegonus Circe also has the powers for spiritual purification as she purifies the Argonauts for the murder of Apsyrtus.Apsyrtus
Sirens by Micha F. Lindemans In Greek mythology, the Sirens are creatures with the head of a female and the body of a bird. They lived on an island (Sirenum scopuli; three small rocky islands) and with the irresistible charm of their song they lured mariners to their destruction on the rocks surrounding their island (Virgil V, 846; Ovid XIV, 88). The Argonauts escaped them because when he heard their song, Orpheus immediately realized the peril they were in. He took out his lyre and sang a song so clear and ringing that it drowned the sound of those lovely fatal voices. When on another journey the Odysseus' ship passed the Sirens, had the sailors stuff their ears with wax. He had himself tied to the mast for he wanted to hear their beautiful voices. The Sirens sang when they approached, their words even more enticing than the melody. They would give knowledge to every man who came to them, they said, ripe wisdom and a quickening of the spirit. Odysseys' heart ran with longing but the ropes held him and the ship quickly sailed to safer waters (Odyssey XII, 39). Homer mentions only two sirens, but later authors mention three or four. They were regarded as the daughters of Phorcys, or the storm god Achelous and either Melpone, Sterope, or Terpsichore. Libanius on the other hand relates that they were born of the blood of Achelous when he was wounded by Heracles.ArgonautsOrpheusOdysseusPhorcysAchelous MelponeSteropeTerpsichoreHeracles According to Ovid, they were nymphs and the play-mates of Persephone. They were present when she was abducted and, because they did not interfere, Demeter changed them into birds with female faces (Ovid V, 551).PersephoneDemeter Greek vs. Roman name http://www.pantheon.org/
Scylla and Charybdis Scylla by Micha F. Lindemans In Greek mythology, a sea monster who lived underneath a dangerous rock at one side of the Strait of Messia, opposite the whirlpool Charybdis. She threatened passing ships and in the Odyssey ate six of Odysseus' companions. Scylla was a nymph, daughter of Phorcys. The fisherman-turned-sea- god Glaucus fell madly in love with her, but she fled from him onto the land where he could not follow. Despair filled his heart. He went to the sorceress Circe to ask for a love potion to melt Scylla's heart. As he told his tale of love to Circe, she herself fell in love with him. She wooed him with her sweetest words and looks, but the sea-god would have none of her. Circe was furiously angry, but with Scylla and not with Glaucus. She prepared a vial of very powerful poison and poured it in the pool where Scylla bathed. As soon as the nymph entered the water she was transformed into a frightful monster with twelve feet and six heads, each with three rows of teeth. Below the waist her body was made up of hideous monsters, like dogs, who barked unceasingly. She stood there in utter misery, unable to move, loathing and destroying everything that came into her reach, a peril to all sailors who passed near her. Whenever a ship passed, each of her heads would seize one of the crew.CharybdisOdysseusPhorcysGlaucusCirce Charybdis by Micha F. Lindemans Charybdis was once a nymph-daughter of Poseidon and Gaia who flooded lands for her father's underwater kingdom until Zeus turned her into a monster and have her suck in and out water three times an day. She lived in a cave at one side of the Strait of Messina, opposite the monster Scylla, the two of them forming a dangerous threat to passing ships.PoseidonGaiaZeusScylla
Calypso by James Hunter Calypso was a nymph, the daughter of the Titan Atlas. She lived on the island of Ogygia. After the last of Odysseus' men had perished at sea, Odysseus himself was washed ashore on Ogygia, where Calypso became enamored of him, taking him as her lover and promising him immortality if he would stay with her. Odysseus refused her offer, wishing to return home to Ithaca and to his wife, Penelope. But Calypso refused to let him leave, and held him prisoner for seven years. Finally Athena complained of Odysseus' plight to Zeus, and Zeus sent Hermes to Ogygia to order Calypso to set Odysseus free. Calypso complied reluctantly, allowing Odysseus to construct a small boat and set sail from the island.AtlasOdysseus Penelope AthenaZeusHermes Ogygia by Christina Dillman, Clarksville Middle School In Greek mythology, Ogygia is a fabled island controlled by the nymph Calypso. It was a tree covered, dark, depressing land in which the temperature was cold and the beast were frighting. Calyspo detained Odysseus on Ogygia for seven long, miserable years as a prisoner of passion, a slave, and a husband. Zeus sent Hermes to Ogygia to have Calyspo send Odysseus on his way to Ithaca or suffer the consequences. So, she let him go much to her dismay.CalypsoOdysseusZeusHermes
Odysseus and Helen Odysseus by James Hunter Odysseus (called Ulysses in Latin) was the son of Laertes and was the ruler of the island kingdom of Ithaca. He was one of the most prominent Greek leaders in the Trojan War, and was the hero of Homer's Odyssey. He was known for his cleverness and cunning, and for his eloquence as a speaker.Laertes Odysseus was one of the original suitors of Helen of Troy. When Menelaus succeeded in winning Helen's hand in marriage, it was Odysseus who advised him to get the other suitors to swear to defend his marriage rights. However, when Menelaus called on the suitors to help him bring Helen back from Troy, Odysseus was reluctant to make good on his oath. He pretended to have gone mad, plowing his fields and sowing salt instead of grain. Palamedes placed Odysseus' infant son in front of the plow, and Odysseus revealed his sanity when he turned aside to avoid injuring the child.HelenMenelausPalamedes However reluctant he may have been to join the expedition, Odysseus fought heroically in the Trojan War, refusing to leave the field when the Greek troops were being routed by the Trojans, and leading a daring nocturnal raid in company with Diomedes. He was also the originator of the Trojan horse, the strategem by which the Greeks were finally able to take the city of Troy itself. After the death of Achilles, he and Ajax competed for Achilles' magnificent armor; when Odysseus' eloquence caused the Greeks to award the prize to him, Ajax went mad and killed himself.DiomedesTrojan horseAchillesAjax Odysseus' return from Troy, chronicled in the Odyssey, took ten years and was beset by perils and misfortune. He freed his men from the pleasure- giving drugs of the Lotus-Eaters, rescued them from the cannibalism of the Cyclopes and the enchantments of Circe. He braved the terrors of the underworld with them, and while in the land of the dead Hades allowed Thiresias, Odysseus' mother, Ajax and others to give him adivice on his next journey. They gave him important advice about the cattle of the sun (which Apollo herds), Scylla and Charybdis and the Sirens. From there on the travels were harder for Odysseus, but they would have been much worse of it wasn't for the help of the dead. With this newly acquired knowledge, he steered them past the perils of the Sirens and of Scylla and Charybdis. He could not save them from their final folly, however, when they violated divine commandments by slaughtering and eating the cattle of the sun-god. As a result of this rash act, Odysseus' ship was destroyed by a thunderbolt, and only Odysseus himself survived. He came ashore on the island of the nymph Calypso, who made him her lover and refused to let him leave for seven years. When Zeus finally intervened, Odysseus sailed away on a small boat, only to be shipwrecked by another storm. He swam ashore on the island of the Phaeacians, where he was magnificently entertained and then, at long last, escorted home to Ithaca.CyclopesCirceAjaxApolloScyllaCharybdisSirensCalypsoZeus There were problems in Ithaca as well, however. During Odysseus' twenty-year absence, his wife, Penelope, had remained faithful to him, but she was under enormous pressure to remarry. A whole host of suitors were occupying her palace, drinking and eating and behaving insolently to Penelope and her son, Telemachus. Odysseus arrived at the palace, disguised as a ragged beggar, and observed their behavior and his wife's fidelity. With the help of Telemachus and Laertes, he slaughtered the suitors and cleansed the palace. He then had to fight one final battle, against the outraged relatives of the men he had slain; Athena intervened to settle this battle, however, and peace was restored.PenelopeTelemachusAthena
Helen by James Hunter Helen (often called "Helen of Troy") was the daughter of Leda and Zeus, and was the sister of the Dioscuri and Clytemnestra. Since Zeus visited Leda in the form of a swan, Helen was often presented as being born from an egg. She was reputed to be the most beautiful woman in the world. When Helen was still a child, she was abducted by Theseus. Since she was not yet old enough to be married, he sent her to Aphidnae and left her in the care of his mother, Aethra. The Dioscuri rescued her and returned her to her home in Lacedaemon, taking Aethra prisoner at the same time.LedaZeusDioscuri ClytemnestraTheseusAethra When Helen reached marriageable age, all the greatest men in Greece courted her. Her mother's husband, King Tyndareos of Lacedaemon, was concerned about the trouble that might be caused by the disappointed suitors. Acting on the advice of Odysseus, he got all the suitors to swear that they would support the marriage rights of the successful candidate. He then settled on Menelaus to be the husband of Helen. She lived happily with Menelaus for a number of years, and bore him a daughter, Hermione.OdysseusMenelausHermione After a decade or so of married life, Helen was abducted by -- or ran off with -- Paris, the son of King Priam of Troy. Menelaus called on the other suitors to fulfill their oaths and help him get her back. As a result, the Greek leaders mustered the greatest army of the time, placed it under the command of Agamemnon, and set off to wage what became known as the Trojan War.ParisPriamAgamemnon After the fall of Troy, Menelaus took Helen back to Lacedaemon, where they lived an apparently happy married life once more. After the end of their mortal existence, they continued to be together in Elysium. There were a number of different accounts of Helen's relationship with Paris. In some, she was truly in love with him, although her sympathies were mostly with the Greeks who beseiged Troy. In others, she was a beautiful and wanton woman who brought disaster upon those around her. In still other accounts, she never went to Troy at all: Hermes, acting on Zeus's orders, spirited her away to Egypt and fashioned a phantom out of clouds to accompany Paris; the real Helen was reunited with Menelaus after the Trojan War. Hermes
How the Trojan War Began "Paris" by Jared Martin Paris was the youngest son of Priam and Hecuba. When he was born, it was foretold that he would be the cause of the downfall of Troy, as told in a dream of Hecuba. He was sent out of Troy in hopes that the message would be false. He went to Mount Ida in order to be a shepherd.Priam Eris, the goddess of strife, was not invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. She came anyway, and she threw a golden apple into the middle of the wedding. Inscribed on the apple was a message. It read "To the fairest." Immediately, the apple was claimed by Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. They all asked Zeus to decide on who should receive the apple. Zeus knew how much trouble he would be in if he decided on one, because the other two would have grave revenge. So Zeus descended to Mount Ida where Paris was farming and asked him to be the Judge. ErisPeleusHeraAthenaAphroditeZeus Paris, being a mortal, could not decide. However, each of the three goddesses decided to make it easier for him. They would each offer him gifts, and he would get the gifts form the goddess he chose. Hera offered Paris power. She offered to give him all of Asia, and great power. He thought this offer was great, but he decided to hear the other offers first before deciding. Athena offered him great wisdom, and great luck in battle. He would be the best strategist in the world. He loved this idea, but he waited to hear Aphrodite's offer. Aphrodite offered him two things. The first was his body, and the second was the love of the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen. Since Paris's first love was women, he decided to pick Aphrodite's offer. Hera and Athena vowed vengeance.Helen Paris soon went home to Troy after that, and with Aphrodite's help, he managed to send a fleet of ships, break into Menelaus's palace in Greece and kidnap Helen. He also took a lot of treasure with him. Menelaus As Helen was the most beautiful woman in the world, all of her suitors were the most powerful people in Greece. In order for peace to be kept when Helen chose a suitor, all other suitors must vow to keep Helen as the wife of whom she chose. So when Helen chose Menelaus, all of the other suitors had to agree that if anyone tried to kidnap her, they would try to get her back. So, when Paris kidnapped her, all of Greece declared war on the city of Troy. These actions of Paris and Aphrodite started the Trojan war. Paris fights, but he is mostly out of legend until Hector is killed by Achilles. While Achilles and his allies bring Hector's body back into Troy for a funeral, Paris take a bow and arrows and shoots it at Achilles. Apollo guides his arrow so that it hits Achilles's foot, in the famous Achilles tendon. Achilles dies. Paris is soon killed afterwards in the war.HectorAchillesApollo
Notes: Odysseus, The Trojan War, and Odyssey Epic Hero: a larger-than-life man who represents the characteristics most important to his nation; for the Greeks, it was: ◦ Courage ◦ Machismo (being manly) ◦ Endurance ◦ Loyal ◦ Battle Smarts (Shrewd) ◦ Forceful as a leader (can get people to even sacrifice life) ◦ Sensitive to death of friends ◦ Pride (hubris—Greek word for pride) in himself, his nation, and his men ◦ Strength in mind and body ◦ Noble—must be from a royal, ruling family ◦ Epic Poem : a long narrative poem that communicates the events and experiences of an epic hero; intended to build and bolster national pride.
◦ Homer: blind poet – Oral tradition ◦ 800 B.C. ◦ The Iliad (Odyssey's predecessor) – About the Trojan War ◦ Its hero is Achilles ◦ Hector kills him by his Achilles' heal ◦ Odyssey: In medias res – In the middle – Odysseus gone for ten years before The Odyssey begins ◦ Fought in Trojan War ◦ Greeks win with the Trojan Horse; Odysseus and Achilles are heroes, but only Odysseus comes home. ◦ Odysseus is King of Ithaca; (City/State); asked by other kings to fight in Trojan War ◦ Athena is the goddess of wisdom and war; she is Odysseus's patron saint. ◦ Taught to Greek children: – Children learn ◦ Greek hospitality ◦ Greek patriotism ◦ Greek heroism ◦ Greek honor
Greek hospitality: always concerned that a god/goddess was clothed as a mortal, so Greeks never shunned a stranger. Always gave them their best bed, their best food, etc. Elderly were well respected God/goddesses were very human: petty, high schoolish, always meddling in human affairs. Easily offended; lived on Mt. Olympus; Cronus was the head god; Zeus (head of earth and sky), Poseidon (ruler of water), and Hades (ruler of the underworld) were Cronus's sons.

Now here is a clear case where Les trumps Nick. Who the fuck in their right mind would want to ride in a vehicle with Nick the prick? I've seen video from time to time where Nick tries to be "loose" and "funny", and it's uncomfortable to watch. This is as natural as it gets with Les.

A FORGOTTEN book containing the autographs of some of the biggest names in showbiz who took to the stage in Middleton, has been unearthed.
The unique visitors' book – which dates back to the opening of Middleton's Civic Centre in 1975 – reads like a who's who of the celebrity world of the '70s with such greats as The Jam's Paul Weller, Mike Harding, Joe Loss, David Kossoff, The Crystals and Victoria Wood, to name but a few.
It had originally been stored in the depths of the civic centre. But when a sewer burst, flooding the basement, the book was securely stashed away and subsequently forgotten about ... until now.
Thanks to the eagle eye of centre manager Bob Morrisey, the book has recently resurfaced and is already causing quite a stir.
The list of names goes on for pages with rebel MP Barabara Castle, singer Matt Monroe, comedian Tommy Cannon and Bolton Bullfrog, Bernard Wrigley among those who passed through the civic centre's doors back in the late 70s.
Bob said: "I've already been offered a lot of money for it. It's a seriously nickable book.
"It is the very first visitors book we had and the only record we've got from the opening of the civic centre. All the other records were destroyed when the sewers burst.
"Two were destroyed but I managed to pull this one from the sewer in time. It is a unique book. It shows the quality of bands we had and the megastars who came here.
"We want to do a display covering all the history of the civic before it moves. So if anybody has any photographs or memories of these times and acts then get in touch."
If anyone can help contact the Guardian on 0161 643 3615.
Oh and any would-be thieves should be warned. Due to the book's value it is no longer being kept in the civic, but in a safe and secure location!

Don't Sheet Where You Eat
After I eat a nice crusty baguette from the comfort of my bed, I simply roll up my plush 800 thread count sheets and mush together whatever food remains into delectable morsels. I call them "SheetTreats" and they're going to revolutionize the way America snacks.
Think about it! Everybody avoids eating in bed for fear of getting crumbs everywhere, but what if you could combine those crumbs into a mashed food product at the end of your meal? You'd save money on wasted food AND enjoy a one-of-a-kind recycled culinary experience with SheetTreats!
SheetTreats are not for everyone, and those with cotton or polyester allergies should avoid their consumption as they are "processed" (rolled up) in a facility (sheet) that contains these products. Also, people who are grossed out by the thought of eating an amalgamated mash of sloughed-off foodstuffs should also avoid SheetTreats.
SheetTreats are, hands down, the most environmentally friendly snacks on the market, as they are composed of 100% recycled food. Don't be fooled by competitors that make their treats from carpet and couch refuse, as these are often adulterated with non-food fillers such as lint and gum. Only SheetTreats provide 100% pure, post-user food.
So stop eating food at the table like a chump and start enjoying the fruits of your own slovenliness with SheetTreats!

Vols standout Tiny Richardson has some large motivation
Antonio "Tiny" Richardson handled Jadeveon Clowney for almost every snap the South Carolina star lined up across from him in 2012, but one big slip-up is driving Tennessee's mammoth left tackle.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Ninety-eight percent.
Whether that is your grade in a classroom, making free throws, or splitting fairways, if you're successful 49 out of 50 times, you're probably having a great day.
Just don't tell that to Antonio, Tennessee 's mammoth left tackle. He shut down South Carolina 's phenom of a defensive end Jadeveon Clowney for more than three hours last October.
On that day in Columbia, the Vols appeared to be on the brink of upsetting No. 13 South Carolina on the road. They had a first-and-10 inside the Gamecocks' 20-yard-line with 1:19 remaining, down 38-35. Richardson had handled Clowney every snap he faced the Gamecocks All-American in the game. About 49 plays that day, Richardson estimated. Then, Clowney sprung out of his stance, juked outside, faked inside and burst back around the outside, blowing around Richardson en route to swarming a helpless Tyler Bray. Clowney, in the process, knocked the football out, the Gamecocks recovered and the upset hopes were gone.
"He just hit me with a little counter inside head fake and went back out," Richardson recalled Tuesday afternoon. "That was really his bread-and-butter the whole game. I just kinda got lazy with my footwork that play and he beat me. It was the fourth quarter and we were moving down the field pretty quick. I thought I was in the groove of things but just for some reason, he got me. He is a big-time player."
Richardson, who like Clowney, just completed his second college season, says he thinks of that day and facing Clowney all the time.
"I have it marked on my calendar [Oct. 19 in Knoxville] when we play them again," Richardson said. "It's going to be a good challenge for me. He is, hands down, the best defensive end in the nation. I took responsibility for that play last year.
"I was really disappointed. Of course, you want to be 100 percent but also because that is when the game was on the line, and big-time players have to make those plays when the game is on the line. That was just a little technique flaw by me. Little things like that are what makes the difference. I just can't do that."
In 2012, Richardson's first as a starter, he gave up two sacks all season. (The other came against Vanderbilt on a play-action pass.) He says he's working hard to better his understanding of opposing defenses and improving his first step as he adapts to new UT coach Butch Jones and his staff. For Richardson, he's adjusting to his third O-line coach in three seasons, and that means new terminology. But the Nashville native -- like seemingly everyone else around UT -- is excited for the Jones Era. (Editor's Note: I'll have much more on Butch Jones and the Vols coaching transition later in the week.)
In keeping up with the energy of the new regime, Richardson has gone from the heaviest he's ever been at 337 pounds in January to the leanest he's been in Knoxville (down to 16 percent body fat at 326 pounds). He says he plans on playing at 320 pounds in the fall.
How many times has Richardson, a second-team All-SEC pick blessed with nimble feet and impossibly long arms, watched that play?
"The question is how many times have I watched that game?" he said. "It has been a lot. I'm not gonna forget about that play. That's one thing that motivates me every day to get better so I can raise hell against Clowney."
It should be a heck of a rematch. NFL personnel folks probably can't wait for it either.

Medical Mycology in the United States: A Historical Analysis (1894-1996)
By: Ana Victoria Espinell-Ingroff (author)Hardback1 - 2 weeks availability
The development of medical mycology in the United States is assessed within the context of scientific progress as demonstrated by the creativity and scholarly contributions from research, technological activities, and training toward the management of fungal diseases. Although, it focuses on American figures and events, it covers the origins of the discipline in Europe and Latin America. It describes historically significant scientific, technological and educational development, and the narrative description is accompanied by an analysis of the causes of these and their perceived impact on the development of the discipline from the late 1880s into the 1990s. The development was conceptualised into five eras: "the era of discovery", "the formative years", "the advent of antifungal and immunosuppressive therapies", "the years of expansion" and "the era of transition".Create a review

Don't like Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher? Well how about Brad Pitt, Hugh Jackman, Vince Vaughn, Will Smith or Jamie Foxx? Author Lee Child tells Playboy that those were some of the names that were "interested" at one time or another. And while fans have cried foul that Cruise doesn't match the physique that the writer laid out for Reacher in his novels, Child is candid about the process of selecting Cruise, and is ultimately thrilled he took the part.
"When you transfer a book to the screen, something's going to give. It seems to me there are three essential things about Reacher. First, he's smart. Second, he's still and quiet yet menacing. Third, he's huge. It was always likely we were going to lose one of those characteristics. The question was which. For a long time we were fixated on his physique. We had to have a big guy. But we got nowhere," he explains. "There were no actors big enough who could do even one of the other things. Then it came as an epiphany. Give up the physique and concentrate on Reacher's smartness and quietness."
So, was that choice wise? Does it work? Well, the new trailer is here and unfortunately it turns the enigmatic character on the page into your everyday vigilante. And as much as Child wants to sell us on smartness and quietness, it's hard to ignore the fact that the intimidating physicality of Reacher isn't here at all, replaced with some pretty corny one-liners. On the plus side is Werner Herzog (who has our ticket sold as the villain) and a pretty great supporting cast including Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins and David Oyelowo.
"Jack Reacher" opens on December 21st.

Curious George Birthday Cake
Posted in Animal Birthday Cakes, Children Birthday Cakes, Curious George Birthday Cakes, Kids Birthday Cakes, Monkey Birthday Cakes on June 13th, 2012 by EditorThere are many different types of designs and patterns for a Curious George birthday cake. You can either make one yourselves or purchase or order a pre-made one from a local bakery. It is not that difficult to make one yourselves. You will just need to follow some simple steps and prepare the right materials. Some examples of Curious George birthday cake designs include the yellow hat cake and the Curious George face cake.
Curious George is one of the most popular children's characters and has been featured in numerous books, cartoon television series and movies. This mischievous monkey made his debut in 1941 and continues to entertain children with his adventures. If your child wants a Curious George birthday party theme, you can whip up a cake that will have the young guests going bananas.
There are many different types of designs and patterns for Curious George birthday cake. You can make one very easily as well by following some simple steps. You can start by preparing batter from an 18-oz. box of chocolate cake mix according to the manufacturer's instructions. Grease a 2-quart oven-safe bowl or large round cake pan and add 2/3 of the batter. Pour the remaining batter into a muffin pan lined with 12 cupcake papers. Bake the cake and cupcakes according to the manufacturer's instructions. Check the cupcakes 10 minutes before the end of the estimated baking time in case they have baked a little faster in your oven. When the cake and cupcakes are done, let them cool in their pans for 25 minutes.
Put the cooled cake on a cake plate and frost just the top with caramel frosting, leaving the sides and a 1-inch top border unfrosted. The caramel frosting will be George's face, while the unfrosted chocolate cake is his hair. To make his ears, frost one cupcake with the caramel icing, and then slice it in half. Add a thin layer of frosting to the flat sides of the cupcake, and then press a cupcake half on each side of the top of the cake. The frosting will act as an adhesive. Frost the remaining cupcakes and save them for additional party treats.
Use white icing in a piping bag or store-bought decorating gel to make two circles for George's eyes, then place a round chocolate candy (such as a chocolate-covered nut) on each white circle as pupils. Draw a small arc under the eyes for George's nose with black decorating gel. Add two dots inside the arc for nostrils. Use the black gel to make a U-shaped line under the nose for his smile, and then add red candies under the smile to make a tongue shape.
If you're not artistic with cake decorating, pay homage to Curious George's best friend, Man in the Yellow Hat, with a simpler design. Prepare sugar cookie dough according to the manufacturer's directions without baking it, then roll it flat and place on a floured pizza pan. Bake the cookie according to the directions. Once the cookie is done, prepare lemon, white or yellow cake mix according to the manufacturer's directions and add to two 9-inch round pans. Bake as directed, then let cool.
Put the sugar cookie on a large platter or cake plate. It will be the brim of the yellow hat. Frost the cookie with yellow frosting, then adds one round cake in the center. Frost the top of the layer, then place the second cake layer on top. Frost the cakes completely with the yellow frosting. Place black licorice around the entire base of the cake for the hat's signature black stripe. Add a plastic Curious George figure or cake topper on the hat cake or display a Curious George doll next to the cake.
Curious George has long been a favorite character and birthday party theme for both boys and girls. These ideas and supplies can be used to create a special party for children of all ages. This mischievous monkey has been making people laugh for years with his antics, and I'm sure he'll bring lots of joy to your party as well!

Effect of H2O2 in passivation of n- and p-type 4H-SiC surfaces
Silicon carbide (SiC) presents many advantageous properties for electronic devices designed to work under extreme conditions such as high-temperature (300–600 °C), high-frequency, and high-power. In addition, the formation of an insulating oxide layer (SiO2) by thermal oxidation is an attractive property for the microelectronics industry. Nevertheless, large densities of interface states (Dit) at the SiO2/SiC interface degrade electrical properties of the resulting structure. Such states are responsible for undesirable effects which hamper the development of SiC-based devices. These electrically active defects are partially assigned to compounds named silicon oxycarbides (SiCxOy), that must be passivated. In this work, SiO2 was thermally grow on n- and p-type 4H-SiC using O2 flux bubbled on hot hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which is a strong oxidizing agent, and acts in SiC surface converting SiCxOy in SiO2. Resulting structures were electrically characterized, and differences in Dit among n- and p-type 4H-SiC substrates were observed. To verify the H2O2 effects on SiC surface composition, oxidations of SiC using 18O as a marker were performed, followed by thermal treatment with H2O2. Samples underwent probing by nuclear reaction analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Results shown a reduction in silicon oxycarbides induced by H2O2. Electrical and physico-chemical data were related in order to explain differences among n- and p-type samples.

Retrofitting of a polymer piping system for Silon s.r.o. successfully completed despite challenging conditions within a very short time
The fact that specialists of EPC are solution-oriented and work closely with their clients is profoundly proven with the completion of the pipeline project for the Czech company Silon s.r.o.: This project involves the modification of a polyester (PET) polymer piping system from a final reactor to two spinning lines for staple fiber. Despite of the tight schedule, engineers working alongside the project manager Jörg Hamann and in close cooperation with the client succeeded in delivering the project in an extremely short time. Quick work was necessary as the client has existing purchase agreements for its yarns and the modification was crucial in increasing the quality of the product.
The short-term works was challenging because of the narrow installation areas and the new piping should be connected to the existing system. Furthermore, the modification works was carried out during ongoing production of the other production lines.
The modification work was nevertheless a success due to EPC's close cooperation with the customer in addition to quick responses of EPC specialists in tackling obstacles, as summarized by the project manager Jörg Hamann. This success was also due to close contacts between EPC and its long-time suppliers who offer EPC preferential treatment and quick responses.
Right after the first order for the design of a PET melt pipe for a similar flexible production resonated with the customer and this resulted in a successful repeat order: "Clients gladly return to us, because we do not only offer first-class engineering, but have a thorough oversight throughout the duration of the project, to recognize areas where we can offer our assistance. As it turned out, the client had scheduling difficulties with local procurement of pipings, special components and pipe holder during the engineering phase. So we were approached to step in quickly to offer our assistance, which we gladly and swiftly did. This made sure that the client could fulfill its supply agreement in time, " said Hamann regarding the course of the project in retrospect.

Coating over torch down before new decking
I had been a DIYer for 35 before retiring and then starting a home improvement business. I've pretty much "reitired" for that also now but am helping a friend replace a deck that had been constructed over a torch down roof. The contractor glued the sleepers to the torch down roof and then screwed the decking to the sleepers. We have stripped off all the old work managing to remove it all and finding only two small holes through the torch down because the glue just wouldn't let go! Almost all of it, however, was not adhering at all. I used roofing tar and a tar-impregnated mesh material to patch over the holes. They want to use Ipe so I have read everything that I can find online plus visited East Teak Fine Hardwoods in Donalds, SC for a discussion with George Guy. He was very helpful with issues relative to water runoff and ventilation. I plan to install 5/4 x 4 Ipe with a 5/32 inch gap over sleepers on 16 inch centers using two 2-1/4 inch stainless steel screws at each intersection. I plan to glue 1/2 inch concrete expansion joint material beneath all sleepers to protect the torch down roofing. They would like for me to "recoat" the torch down material before installing the new deck! I have explained that torch down is not just a coating but rather is a roof covering (in 25 words, or less!) and I don't really think it needs a "recoating". Their "water damage below problem" wasn't caused by the roof leaking but rather by incomplete sealing beneath some pillars so that water could get under them and make its way to the porch roof below by way of the holes drilled for electrical wiring inside the pillars (there is an electric lantern on top of each pillar). My question, then, is: "What can be applied above the torch down to seal it (and put the homeowners mind at ease) if that becomes necessary?"
Thanks for the information. I've read what I can find and the Base Coat with TopGard 4000 looks like a good solution. I have been trying to find a dealer in my area (Boone, NC).

Full Question:
Why do some people with Hashimoto's thyroiditis have horrendous "Migraine" headaches before they are properly treated with thyroxin? I had a history of menstrual Migraines which became daily episodes when I developed Hashimoto's. It was undiagnosed for three years, and the regular Migraine "triptans" and myriad of other prophylactic meds did not touch it. Is it a different type of headache, or a Migraine? Now on thyroxin, I am having only 8 Migraines per month which usually respond to a triptan. Thank you for your help.Answer:
The plain truth is that migraines are associated with about 150-200 medical and surgical conditions. Thyroid disease is very strongly associated with headaches. Simple as that. If a disease process gets worse, the headache pattern can also follow suit. Your headaches may have become "mixed" headaches with some migraine and non-migraine features. But, it sounds like you are back to your baseline pattern, which still could benefit from suppressive headache therapy. Get thee to a headache specialist.
Good luck,
