The Big Three (A Discussion of My Favorite Greek Gods) It was once said by Kelly Keaton in, A Beautiful Evil, “There is power within great sacrifice, within noble deeds. There are moments...brief, shining moments when the impossible becomes possible.” Let this quote transport us back into the magic of Greek myths, based on Edith Hamilton’s book, Mythology.

People do not understand just how much Greek, Roman, China, India, Early Americas and the Islamic Empires history plays a part the ideas, institutions and art of the present day and how…

For Paideia, I would teach something that seems rather simple, sewing. The art of sewing, besides in fashion schools, has been largely forgotten and put aside as a thing that used to keep women indoors with minimal use or skill in modern society. But clothes remain something that people obsess over and put a lot of money and time towards. Learning the actual process of creating an article of clothing can be so much more interesting and beneficial than most of the intelligent youth understands. Reed students are wildly creative and hard-working people, and therefore they would find unexpected satisfaction out of creating their own clothes to call their own.…
What do 85 percent of Fortune 500 executives, the first female astronaut, and the first female senator all have in common?

From 300 BC to 100 BC, the Greeks believed in many traditions that we call myths today, such as their gods.
