March 5

Poesis: Greek for poetry, to make up

Logos: truth
-Mythos + Logos = mythology (when story and truth get together)

Wizard of Oz: "It is more important to be loved than to love."
-"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain."

Parents of Love: Poros (aka Contrivance) is the father and Poverty is the mother

The soul can give birth
-The Odyssey and the Iliad are the immortal children of the soul of Homer

The only ones worthy of love are philosophers.

Tragedy: pessimism
Comedy: give me more life-even shameful life
