The tale about mythic creature "Hydra" and the ancient democracy

The tale about mythic creature "Hydra" and the ancient democracy

Hydra or giant sea monsters have been one of the most interesting creatures in Ancient Greece. The thing in the tale of Hydra is that the hero, who fought against that creature must cut all the heads off from that monster. So what was this creature? I think that Hydra was the model of pirate organizations or some other threats, that threatened the cities of Ancient Greece.

That means that if the assassinator came from the seas, the king who fought against that kind of organization must terminate all leaders of that organization, or the enemy would return. An idea of that thing is that if the leaders of the enemy would stay alive, those things would create or train new leaders and establish new bases for their gangs or organization.

If the threat came across the sea, that meant that there was some outland enemy, and those things were really serious. Only one leader, who stay alive can train new followers, and that thing could neutralize only by cutting all the heads off the creature, what those men have been ruled. So the monsters in Greek mythology are symbolic creatures.

The mission of those symbols was to create the thought and give abilities to fight and handle that kind of threat. The thing is that those people, who told those stories for the kings and other rulers, avoided mentioning names in those stories because that thing could cause the wrong focus. That means that the persons, who grown and trained the kings must beware of the cases, that they predict that enemy tells the real information about the names, who were behind some attacks.

In ancient Greece, wars were the same time political things than in modern states. And the mission of wars was similar to modern states. The thing is that the wars were used to turn the eyes of the people out of internal problems. And those problems were that the kings and rulers of the state were dictators. We always like things like Greek democracy, that thing was a little bit different than in the modern days.

In the cradle of democracy, Athens the power was in hands of 20 to 30 persons, who ruled the state. Democracy was working that there were two kinds of coupons. The normal coupon, what was used in the advising votes, and the coupon, what was used in the ruling the state. That meant that the one person, who had full citizenship had the right to make a decision alone if there was nobody else in the place.

There was claiming that the death of Socrates caused that the persons, who have ruled Athens just shuffle the coupons or some secret marks. That means that if the marks of release and convict were similar, this thing could mean that somebody has been missed that mark, and Socrates just got that penalty because of a terrifying accident.

Maybe he was the full citizen himself, and the advising jury had no jurisdiction against him, but then there were two other full citizens, and that caused death. There is a possibility that some new full citizens came to the meeting, and that caused a mistake, or those new citizens even knew that they were citizens.

So there were two kinds of meetings, another was advising, and another was ruling. The problem was that the persons, who had the right to rule the state hide that right. They sit in the same meetings with others, and every each member had two coupons, and they were all colorful. But certain colors meant the ruler, and those colors were not the same. So those people were not easy to track.

A short story of Mary Shelley and the "Frankenstein monster"

A short story of Mary Shelley and the "Frankenstein monster"

1. When we are thinking about the monster, we must deny everything, what we have been told

In this writing, I try to make analyzes of the creator of one of the most tragic, and at the same time most interesting character of the history of horror stories. When we are thinking about the career as the writer, that is not the most popular and accepted choice even today. In the time of Mary Shelley, women were owned by their husbands, and that thing is remarkable when we are trying to think, what kind of person she was.

The writer just channels or conducts the things, what that person sees, or what that person hears and feels to the paper, what is one part of the process, what creates the text. Imagination is one of the most important tools of the writer, and that means that this person needs good imagination or ability to create fantasies, and then that person must dare to transform those fantasies to paper or texts and allow other people to see and read them.

2. Mary Shelley born as Godwin (1797-1851)

Mary Shelley is the writer, who wrote a book named "Frankenstein, the modern Prometheus". That book is still one of the biggest classics on the history of horror stories, and there are still many mysteries around this book and the tale of the monster. When we are thinking the condition of Mary Shelley, and her brain tumor, we must imagine, how that woman even could write?

How she could keep pencils on hands, and make something, what was able to write by others. There is one very remarkable thing in the story, about the forming this famous book, and it is conducted in the rainy day at the beach of Lake Geneva, where Mary and her husband spend time with Lord Byron and his psychiatrist. We know that Mary Shelley was not one of the simplest and easiest persons in the world.

She treated her parent to commit suicide if they were not allowed that woman to marry  Percy Shelley at the age of 16. They married in 1816 when the first wife of Shelley committed suicide by deluged in the river at London, and then 20 days later Percy Shelley married Mary. Mary's stepsister committed suicide at that time, and those things might have a great influence on Mary.  Also, Percy Shelley deluged when the boat of him and his friend fell in the year 1822.

3. Was the place something else?

When Mary Shelley created the Frankenstein they were spending a rainy day inside the house. And then they were started to write stories about monsters or horror stories. This thing is really interesting because that is a very unusual way to spend time, so where were those people really were? And did Mary really knew Lord Byron?

Did they be somewhere in Great Britain, and take a part of some essay-club, where the idea was to create some kind of horror story? And if that thing is true, was writing about Lake Geneva and other things, what happened in there just the product of imagination. That means that Mary Shelley could be somebody else, what she claimed to be.

4. Did Mary Shelley see the brain tumor?

When we are thinking about the monster, we must realize that the color of the brain tumor might be yellow. That means that Mary Shelley could write about the tumor, what was in her head. But how could she know about this tumor? Here is one interesting question, and that is when Mary Shelley was told, that there was nothing to do with the tumor?

 When we are talking and thinking about this woman, she was a very remarkable gift for the literature. And was her extraordinary productivity cause of the brain tumor? Or was there something else, what caused that productivity? And where Mary created the figure of Dr. Victor Frankenstein? Was she knows somebody, who used that name? And did some doctor show her the tumor?

5. The death was always with Mary Shelley

There were many things, what was remarkable on the life of Mary Shelley, and one of them is that her husband died in suspicious circumstances, when Mary was 18 in an accident. When we are thinking about those things, there were not many happy moments in her life, because only one of her children saw an adult age.

If we are thinking that Mary Shelley was not a perfect mother, because she was writing about more of her studies projects than the child, what she would get. That woman wrote the Frankenstein after the birth of her first child, and this thing is remarkable because that means that the monster could be forming because of the birth of that child. And that's why this woman was sent to psychiatrists.

But there is one remarkable thing, what we must realize when we are thinking about the role of Mary Shelley in the creation process, what made "Frankenstein" real, we must realize that the writer always conducts the thoughts and ideas to paper or computer screen, and this is the thing, what normal people don't always understand. The writer is not itself the inventor of the text.

6. Why fantasies have so negative echo?

There is a need to have inspiration when somebody wants to make the text. If we are thinking that the writer just conducts fantasies to paper, that is true. Without imagination is no text. Or the writing of the fiction is impossible without the ability to think abstract things. Abstraction is the thing, what is called as fantasies, and I sometimes think, why the word fantasy is so negative role in the normal language?

When we are thinking about fantasies, they are things, what makes novels and other types of art forming in real life. Without fantasies and dreams are no advantages, because inventions and other kinds of things are based on things like imagination. Innovation is the ability to make fantasies or imagination true, and we can say those things as "productive intelligence", which means the ability to form the imagination to the real product, and that is sometimes a very long process.
