Organizational day for the website project, "Myth on the Map". I have enough money to get a functioning website up with 2 works mapped,
Apollodorus and
the Catalog of Ships. Question: should I then map the rest of the
Iliad, or map a test book of
Pausanias? If so, which book? Not sure yet. Would link to the project but it doesn't appear to be working yet. The plan is, at any rate, to finish Apollodorus and the Catalog by the end of the summer, and have a map which, when one searches for stuff, finds it and displays it.
Tweaked the outline for the "sacrificial virgins" conference paper, and resolved another Oswald simile: a list of five (dead)
Greeks, followed by the simile of the eagle attacking the geese by the river. In
Homer, it's about
Hector, who's the eagle. In Oswald, the geese are named but the eagle is not; the attacker is impersonal; the war.
(Okay, so I am foolishly reminded of Loki, leaping from the upper level upon Thor. "There is only - THE WAR! RAHR!" The only truly awful line in the Avengers...)
Here's the link you were looking for :)

Aha! The reader works wonderfully, but searching by character or group on the map doesn't seem to produce anything when I click on a name. Is that expected?
