From Epic to Labours to Saga: Myth-Making
From Epic to Labours to Saga: Myth-Making One of the most fascinating aspects of myths in general is how there are so frequently variations of the “same” stories. I mean this in a few senses, but, primarily, consider, say, the stories of Heracles and Hercules, and, secondarily, consider Joseph Campbell‘s concept of the monomyth. I’ll…

A Note from the Author on Method
A Note from the Author on Method I’d like to tease a few points about this work-in-progress. These are “The Revelations of the MERCANARY™” … FIRST REVELATION I am not mad.

THE EPIC OF THE MERCANARY™
https://problematicpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/screenshot_20200521_130504.jpg THE EPIC OF THE MERCANARY™ In the digital age, and within Instagram as a medium, I assert “The Epic of the MERCANARY™” is an epic memeoem.
