Pan Revisited

It's me again, your favorite frolicking satyr Pan.

That insufferable Zeus has complained that not enough mortals have contributed to this LIVE from Mount Olympus! blog. He commanded me to somehow get you and other humans to post comments. Granted, blogging isn't as fun as fornicating with a dryad (or wood nymph), but I'm sure you have something to say or ask of us.

Over the course of these last 18 or so blog posts, you have either learned something interesting from us or have been entertained by the humor of the Greek gods, goddesses, and other mythic figures. It's true that not every deity or demi-god has spoken and not every topic has been broached. So, to get you more involved with Zeus and this blog, here is what I propose you do:

Contribute a comment to this blog post.

1.      Mention the name of your favorite Greek god, Greek goddess, or any Greek mythological character. Zeus will even accept the names of Roman equivalents, but please refrain from calling him "Jupiter" as he does not like that moniker.

2.      Present us with a topic or pose a question. Here are some examples:

a.       What is the meaning of life?
b.      What is the friendliest country to visit?
c.       Hairstyle comments, clothing critiques, and make-up tips.
d.      Which exercise equipment is best for losing weight?
e.       How many times can a satyr ejaculate before drying up?

3.      With your chosen Greek god and topic or question, you will be able to read the following week a new blog post in response to your comment. From examples above, you could ask the meaning of life from Thanatos, find out the friendliest place to visit from Hermes, receive beauty and fashion tips from Aphrodite, get gym equipment reviews from Heracles, and well—I can answer that last question for you after some extensive hands-on research.

So, let's read your comments, mortal. Don't be shy. Go ahead and make your voice heard...
LIVE from Mount Olympus!
