Yes! That's the word I've been trying to find to describe the Ragnarok with: breathtaking! And it really is.

indeed indeed! i love how the two humans hide in........a tree! that's so original!

yeah, back then it probably was...now then, living off dew...

durinsbane2244 · 10-06-2006, 07:38 PM

anyways, anyone else aware of the ever-changing sun-god/king god in Egypt? pretty funny, i think...

Spock · 10-07-2006, 11:39 AM

You refering to "Atun" and Aunksanaken ? pardon my spelling. She and her brother tried to change worship in Egypt to the sun god and after a short life, their remains were scoured off off temples, etc. and lost for ages......

Acalewia · 10-07-2006, 09:06 PM

They also moved the Captial. I forget where. Didn't their daughter marry Tut?

Spock · 10-08-2006, 11:41 AM

Akhenaton - In the 14th century BC this Egyptian pharaoh undertook a religious reform by displacing all the traditional deities with the sun-god Aton.
He moved his capital from Thebes to present-day Tell el-Amarna (about 200 miles away) to escape established religious powers and make a fresh start.

Nefertity - Queen-consort of Egyptian king, Ankhenaten.

Tutankhamun became king after the death of Akhenaton the religious reformer who died in 1362 BC. He married Akhenaton's third daughter to solidify his claim to the throne

I just meant how the cheif god changed so much...i think Osiris was top dog at one point, Ra, Horus...yeah...

***Earniel*** · 10-08-2006, 05:20 PM

And don't forget Amun among the lot...

durinsbane2244 · 10-08-2006, 08:02 PM

yeah, see? crazy! they need to make up their minds!

***Earniel*** · 10-09-2006, 03:32 AM

I think maybe they just liked diversity and some change now and then.

They almost had a god for everything and every animal they could imagine.

durinsbane2244 · 10-09-2006, 06:31 AM

yeah, and i like how the romans claimed that the egyptian gods were the roman gods in disguise during the war with the titans...very clever...

***Earniel*** · 10-09-2006, 11:14 AM

The Romans were clever devils in dealing with foreign gods. They just took them all in. Very smart to avoid any conflict.

durinsbane2244 · 10-09-2006, 03:56 PM

very very very true! the greeks, the egyptians...the romans...

durinsbane2244 · 10-10-2006, 06:02 PM

Orpheus, Orpheus, how sad your tale! anyone?

Gwaimir Windgem · 10-10-2006, 09:25 PM

*sniffle

hectorberlioz · 10-10-2006, 09:28 PM

Try Berlioz's cantata on the subject...

good stuff.

Gwaimir Windgem · 10-10-2006, 09:37 PM

You just come here to advertise your music, don't you?

Why don't I just start telling everyone to go listen to Picaresque? There's a track on there about lovers falling...sorta like Orpheus, in so far as death and descent are involved.

(or is it a rapist and a victim?)

We both go down together...

hectorberlioz · 10-10-2006, 09:38 PM

Well, one of the reasons I started liking mythology so much was BECAUSE OF Berlioz and other composers, whose music on the subject I happen to like.

durinsbane2244 · 10-12-2006, 06:50 AM

how many mythology based operas are there?!!?!
