So what is this blog about..

Well Heya! This is Mugdha. I love to pen metaphorical stuff and keep myself engaged in surreal thoughts which I end up writing them down. I usually take incidents that revolve around us for my theme and portray them with illusive characters. To explore in different world, I went for Greek mythology and connected the stories with the current world. The characters quite depict our present state, thus I tried to shape them up by writing about their myth stories and the stories after bringing them in the modern century. So yeah! this blog is all about that.

Fault of NO

The soul of sin

Injects the pretty,

Denial of misuse

Could insult purity.

CASSANDRA

Then: Cassandra is one of the princesses of Troy, daughter of Priam and Hecuba. She is astonishingly beautiful and blessed with the gift of foreseeing the future. Apollo, God of Sun and Light falls in love with Cassandra and grants her with the gift of prophesy. However, He soon places a curse on her when she denies his proposal. The curse ensures that no one will believe her prophecies ever again and she is considered to be insane as the result of being cursed by the God Apollo.

Now: Cassandra represents a victim girl who protests after being eve-teased by a guy, but soon faces molestation for raising her voice and provoking the guy.

Word of Terror

Chef of terror, a lonely eye

Felony peppered with twilight

For a giant sky.

CYCLOPS

Then: Cyclops are the giants of Greek mythology having only one eye in their forehead. They are the sons of Uranus (sky) and Gaea (Earth). They are stated to be cannibals who eat humans when they get them. They live a rude lawless life possessing neither social manner nor fear for the Gods.

Now: Cyclops can define the group of those people who create terror among humans. They are the terrorists who use unlawful violence against civilians to frighten them and even kill them. They are typically engaged in doing criminal activities.

A pale revenge

Grumpy fate

Saccharine and sour

Face the doom      

After bliss-hour?

NEMESIS

Then: Nemesis is the Goddess of revenge in Greek myth who shows her wrath to any human being who commits hubris (i.e arrogance before the Gods). She deals with human affairs to maintain equilibrium and measures happiness and sadness to balance them. If anyone is favored by Goddess of good luck, she makes sure he deals with misfortune as well. Nemesis is connected to action of Karma.

Now: Nemesis portrays the life of a person who knows to balance things out. He is aware of Karma and stays neutral on every matter. However when it comes to justice and injustice, he knows which side to choose.

A fall to remember

Veil my forelimbs with wax

Fantasies are assumed with facts

I neglected north and chose the south

Molten wings crashed me out loud.

ICARUS

Then: Icarus is the son of famous craftsman Daedalus who built the Labyrinth for king of Crete. In order to escape from Crete, Daedalus constructs wings for his son warning him to fly at a middle height. Flying too near the sun could cause the wax to melt and flying too near seawater can dampen the wings. But he neglects the warning and takes a ride to fly close to the sun. His wings melt and he falls into the sea and drowns.

Now: Icarus can portray a beloved son of his parents who have given him all the freedom with some specific restrictions. His father gifts him a bike and cautions him to ride carefully. Icarus gets ecstatic and rides at furious speed. One life gone from earth.

Aphrodite- my soul.

Paint the beauty

Enrich the soul

Rosy darkness for the hole

Mirror mirror on the wall

May curse tumble or troll them all.

APHRODITE

Then: Aphrodite is the Greek Goddess of Love, Beauty and Pleasure. She is depicted as a beautiful jealous woman that everyone gets enchanted. The attraction starts to divert towards a maiden named Psyche who is stated to be the most beautiful mortal girl of Earth. Aphrodite gets jealous of all the attention of the people paid to Psyche. She commands her son Eros (Cupid, God of Love) to put a spell on Psyche so that she falls in love with the most hideous man of Earth. He obediently heads towards Psyche to strike her with his darts but eventually he fell for the maiden.

Now: Aphrodite can represent a young lady who adores her beauty. She is more beautiful than Marilyn Monroe. She loves hanging out with her girl gangs and can’t get enough of gossips. She is mostly seen in shopping malls, buying new clothes and makeup products. She cannot see anyone prettier than her and tries to ruin the girl’s image she hates.
