they look very cool, but sadly require that you be slim petite and probably asian to cary them off. I think i'm going to go with the old standby f raiding the lined cupboard.

Or maybe slightly more fancy than that.

I found one reference book, though theres a lot of reading involved, but it did have a great version of yours Serenity. Basically, if you go to a site called The Costumers Manifesto, they have costume history all neatly sliced up for referencing. A lot of of the greek links are broken, but theres still enough there.

Still looking for the place that gives you the step by step though.

Of course you can be Eros SR, but does that mean you will be coming next year? *fingers crossed for good luck*

WOAH! That website is a bit overwhelming! Lots of pretty pictures, though.

It doesn't look like those outfits would be too hard to make. I like the chiton when it's buttoned up the arms to make sleeves. That's pretty.

SR: If you come as Eros, will you walk around in a loin cloth with a bow and arrows? *snerk*

Did anyone in England see Dom Joly's Happy Hour? With that guy in South Carolina (possibly) making moonshine? and they couldn't understand a single word he was saying, and sometimes even the subtitiles they gave him just read '?????????????... something about possums?'

Well, i got a list of the major, most recoognisable player, their symbols and any specific things they wore (kiddies books a bout greece in the fts when its not busy are so useful!)

I was going to post them here, but, shall we resurrect the costumy thread? then we can keep updating the list when theres a new snippet of information, and keep track of who's going as who, and share photo's and ideas and interesting pictures we've come accross (like i've seen loads of statues of Anthena, but don't want to fill up this thread)

Shall we do that?

Mai! How about Hebe? Goddess of Youth, who i think married Heracles, or Hestia, goddess of the hearth and home (not very glamorous sounding, but she was the most worshipped - every single greek houshold had a shrine to her)

I'm wavering, was thinking about Hera (i like peacock feathers)

God of the underworld, Hades also know as pluto, is usually associated with a sceptre, the three headed dog Cerberus, a cap of invisibility, the key to the underworld, and a two pronged staff. Trees/plants sacred to him are the cypress and narcissus.

I've no idea of their actual validity, it was a kiddies book - but i thought information like that would be good for choosing colours and patterns etc.

It all helps.

Ok, i'm going to start the new thread, but maybe not tonight, i'm tired. But sometime this weekend.

No cozen, both Hermes and Apollo slept with the same woman, Khione, on the same night. Apollon (Apollo) is a man-type god. And, because Greek mythology is full of this kind of stuff, she gave birth to two different babies, one by each guy. Though, how they could tell whose baby was whose is beyond me!

It also may be interesting to note that she was killed by Artemis (Apollo's sister), whom she pissed off by claiming to be prettier or something.

By the way, just because I'm a big Greek nerd, I would just like to inform all and sundry that "theoi" is simply the plural form of the word "theos" which means, "god".

Also, I knew the answer to final Jeopardy last night: "The word "toxic" comes from the ancient greek word for this weapon." The answer? "arrow". The word in greek is "atoxos". I felt all smart-like!

I didn't know about the spiteful bits, I don't think of you that way. I think you're right though, If you dig deep enough you can likey find something that someone would consider icky about each of them.

Last night, I was cutting up a pomegranate (they were on sale last week at the store!!)

We were eating seeds like candy. YUM!

Well, you're the only one that can chose the god that you like best. So, read up on them. There's SO many! And then you chose. It'll be FUN!

I feel bad for Hephaestos. He was obviously a hard worker. He made Zeus' thunderbolts and most everybody else's weapons. He is said to have had a nasty temper, though. But can you blame him? His wife slept with half of Asia Minor!

only half of it?

Have you seen The Adventures of Baron Munchausen?

Its a great film, and its got the roman versions of Aphrodite and Hephaistos in there, and he's played by Oliver Reed i think, but its so funny, he's showing them through his domain, and theres nuclear warheads in there and everything, he's just showing them off like a car sales man who not quite sure if he actually likes cars after all.

But its a great film, you should watch it if you haven't already.

I'f its anymore enticement, Uma Thurman plays Aphrodite/Venus.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is fantastic!
Robin Williams and Eric Idle. And Uma made a very nice venus at the time, she lost whatever it was she had then though.

I love libraries too. I was just saying that you have to be a fairly quiet nerd mood to hang out there. I personally could sit in the public library all day long and relax (the college library not so much!) However, when you have the urge to be lerdy (loud and nerdy) this is probably the best place for it. :P

I used to work in the school library, i say work - byt the time i got to the fourth year, they'd changed the librarian, so i was showing her the ropes, fixing the machinery, orderin the other library minions around and buying the new books.

I haven't seen bones. But then, I never really thought DB was that cute.

I'm completely obsessed with Doctor Who now, so don't mind me. David Tennant is a hottie!

My Happy News for the day: got a late-is-better-than-never present from the 'rents. An iPOD! Which I had asked for, not really thinking I'd get it. It's pretty and shiny and there are been many bumps today, but I've got about 60 songs on it (including my Firefly CD) and that makes me happy. For now. My CDRom drive seems to have gone KAPUT.

Bones has more going for it than just Boreanaz. Ie, a fine supporting cast and a somewhat fluffier take on the CSI ouvre; perhaps not as smart but also not quite so grim as the CSIs.

i wasn't a big fan, until i saw an interview with him, and after the morose and almost statue like angel David himself was brilliant - energetic and all over the place with a wicked sense of humor, he ran rings around the muppet interviewing him, very clever and witty.

And in Bones he just seems cuter somehow.

it does have a lot of good points, i just can't help thinking that they could have made better use of some stories from the books and not been quite so cheesy sometimes - but the group she has are brilliant, in the books she just has her boss and some french canadian guy, Zack and the others are brilliant. (though the Seely character in the books is a total rogue, and theres no, ahem, professional distance - makes it a bit different)

OOH! *Sets up the chocolate fondue thingy and gets the chocolate flowing nicely*

There's a restaurant here called the Melting Pot (I don't know if it's a chain or anything). This restaurant has mastered the art of fondue--it's totally fantastic. My favorite, though, is dessert. They have, like, six or seven different types of chocolate fondue you can choose from, and they bring out a platter with different types of things to chocolate fondue such as: pineapple, bananas, marshmallows, pound cake, strawberries (yum!) and a slice of cheesecake. Oh... SOOO good!

And, JH, I won't be able to get to D*C '07 cuz, well, I'm going to be serving an LDS mission and I'm pretty sure that sci-fi conventions are out.

We ordered drinks and mine came with a nice little fly in it. (plech!) The manager came out and gave us a cupon to come back for free dessert. SHINY!
