Antler

Has technology taken over our world? Technology has come a long way, like the first tools made from stone, wood, antlers, and bones, 10 million years ago.

This is one of the hundreds of essays collected and compiled into Yoshida Kenko’s Tsurezuregusa, or Essays in Idleness. Kenko, a Japanese Buddhist monk, described these critically acclaimed essays as “random … nonsensical thoughts that entered my head” that were never intended to be shared with the others (Kenko 3). In these writings,…

When the story of “Diana and Actaeon” is mentioned, one’s mind most commonly recalls the episode in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, in which Actaeon accidentally stumbles upon the goddess Diana naked in the woods during a hunting trip, and she metamorphoses him into a deer; therefore, his hunting dogs devour him (Ovid 55). “Diana and Actaeon” is a very well known episode from the Metamorphoses; it is where Ovid first delves into a discussion of whether the gods are just in their punishments towards…
