I'm trying to study but I think my motivation jumped out the window about two hours ago and as for my brain it keeps going into cooking tangents which doesn't really help me explain the themes of blindness and seeing within the play Oedipus.
Never let anyone tell you Greek myth is good for kids to read. It is the most screwed up thing you'll ever come across, the number of people who killed each other and then cooked their kids, or had incest with their mothers and daughters is just creepy. I will never look at Agamemnon the same way again. Not that I ever looked at him in the first place (could be difficult) but metaphorically speaking anyway. And I haven't even looked at the Anthropology material for my other exam, which can just wallow in a cupboard until I have time for it.
On a side note, I'm reading the Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett and gosh, it is good. The fact that one of the main characters is called Nutt just epitomizes it for me.
And for some strange reason I'm craving Indian food. Rather badly.
Ah, Oedipus is calling to me, I really do need to study how he accidentally ended up killing his father and sleeping with his mother...and I thought Ancient Egypt was bad.
Wish me luck!
