It's all Greek to me

In school, we've been talking about the Greeks. In history we're learning their history-can you believe it? In english we've started Greek mythology.

I'm posting today to tell you how fantastically crazy some of their ideas were. Let's face it, having a baby born out of your forehead because you ate your pregnant wife is a little far-fetched, even for the god Zeus.

And how a god overthrew his father with the help of his siblings. But then,before he died, his daddy said he'd die the same way. So to prevent this, he ate his kids. Unfortunately, Zeus (one of his sons) decided not to become his papa's dinner and fought back. During the battle, Zeus kicked his daddy's belly and he upchucked his kids. They fought, won, and all is well.

Except for those of us sane people who are thinking what's rolling around in their noggin?

Oh, wait. What was my point?... Did I have a point?

Just proving there are (or were) stranger people out there than me. Ha!

but there are few who are weirder than all of us combined!

I prefer to say "unique" or "peculiar" - just so you know.

Loved your perceptions of the Greek perceptions! We should watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding again!
