Blue Sky
Athena's wise eyes
Were blue, as Zeus made the sky
To show her just face.
🎶one dream from last nite: I'm in an elevator like tiny room and under attack by a really ugly guy, aaand, I pummel him into submission, he begs for mercy...I wake up...the ugly guy may have come from one the other gold masks Schleman found at Mycenae, other than the famous Agememnon mask...new movie Odyssey in news...Helen is African American...that's a kinda fit with her in Egypt...being Egyptian...oh, not Egyptian, Spartan...making her black stirs up the white supremists...Sparta their standard...how this happening?...

✨️Jung's View on "Magic"
Jung famously noted that the ancients didn't have the terminology for the mind, so they used the word "magic." In his ETH Lectures, he explained that the miraculous and mysterious things we attribute to "magic" are actually just psychological realities. [1]Would you like to explore how other mythological archetypes (like the Shadow, the Trickster, or the Wise Old Man) align with characters from Aladdin or other folk tales?
The Mythological Sky
Before the Olympian era, ancient Greek cosmologists considered the sky to be ruled by Uranus (the primordial personification of the heavens) and subsequently Aether (the primordial god of bright, upper air). Zeus took over as the supreme ruler of the heavens and weather after overthrowing the Titans. While the blue color specifically belongs to Athena's eye-matching myth, Zeus is heavily tied to weather and the atmospheric domain. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

The Scientific Reality
In reality, the sky is blue due to a scientific phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. When sunlight reaches Earth’s atmosphere, the gases and particles scatter the light in all directions. Because blue light travels in shorter, smaller waves than other colors in the spectrum, it scatters more than the other colors, which is why our eyes perceive a blue sky. [1, 2]
Genie in the lamp,
So, my wish can manage you,
And imperil me.
Our long discussions,
You, showing permutations,
Me, eyes wide rolling.
Quick it is to think,
Not so deciding to act.
You think it funny.
In the realm of Jinns,
Everything imagined.
They deign my presents.
So, present I am,
I have your precious vessel.
Just think, I have you.

Athena's wise eyes
Were blue, as Zeus made the sky
To show her just face.
Trust a blue sky day?
The sun rounds, rising golden.
The moon silvered night.
Goodbye to all that,
On board with a westward wind
With your homebound crew.
Mess with all the gods,
You'll get all their attention,
And those in Hades.
Those were Artemis',
The doubled crescent axes,
The bow you could string.
