@Variety The thunder clash made our forefathers cower and they in turn named the Gods. It has always been in the face of catastrophe that art and ingenuity took hold. Refuse the safety of the cave and proceed.
In the halls of Dante’s purgatory we find the shades of great men. Souls that include Virgil, Homer, Horace, Ovid, and Lucan. Then emerge Electra, Aeneas, Cesar, Saladin, Aristotle, Plato, Orpheus, Cicero, Avicenna, and Averroes. It’s safe to say that before you die it will be wise to grow familiar with their works.

As you may have heard, “The Thing” has been added to the Library of Congress. We made the movie to push against the edges of what we could pull off, and it carries that strain in its bones. Seeing it now treated with the same care and reverence we had making it means a great deal to me and everyone who brought it to life.
I especially want to remember TK Carter, who brought heart and humor into that desolate, frozen place and should be standing here with us today sharing in this recognition.
Thank you to everyone who continues to keep it alive.
The values enshrined in the Odyssey are the those of the heroic age that pulled us out of our brutish prehistory, a time of raw nature dominated by the likes of the monstrous Cyclops. A man of twists and turns that can find his way home was of that era the highest renown. His character, deception and cruelty included, a means to the heroic end.
Great post RHG !
To sublime is to pass from the solid to the vapour state by heating and then return again to solid form. Then also the exalted spiritual notion, to render finer, convert what is lower to a state of higher worth.
Missing from the spiritual notion is the return to form, vapour that condenses back to solid. This perhaps the difference between literature and religion, that the sublime spirit ascends but does not return. Whereas the journey of man succeeds when they come home again, imbued with transcendence, alive and fallen back to solid form.
Thus we aspire to be gods but it is the churning of the sublime back into the earth that is the true work of man.
