Star wars is a typical Hero Myth.

Anyhow, I was hoping to share some interesting analysis of the world ... both poetic and insightful, but alas, no one can escape the rational mind.


Consider the fennel that grows along the train track. This is a reference to the gift of fire bestowed by Prometheus which burns brightly in the middle of the train.

Oh that is garbage, what about electric trains Besimudo is a dim wit.



That is scientifically incorrect.

Maybe the whole point of astrology, poetry, myth and legend is to make man the measure of all things.


Why not say that those stars look like a scorpion, or that man is a hero, or even speak of gods and ghosts. These topics are interesting because they make the natural world seem human. In the same way that physical constants resemble mathematical formulae, humans use a system to describe reality.

As stated. Nobody here has refuted Medea - the woman who killed here children. Or the man who walked with Bears and then was eaten only when he bought his girlfriend along (see Enkindu the animal man from Gilgamesh) These, like the fennel are all related to myth. Myths are exciting and the describe the world in its most primal way. Mythology is the knowledge that makes your heart beat, our guts churn and the hairs on our backs stand whenever we hear a story.


Cheers.






P.S. Good reply Renmiri, but try talking astronomy to anyone without mentioning Orion. The bright star Betelguise would not be the same. As stated, the fennel seeds are in the fire ... that first fire brought down to earth by prometheus in the fennel stalk.
