For the name alone. Speaking of Hepburn, Cate Blanchett could probably pull off a Hera if she channeled her inner Hep again.The Secret Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676425268231171924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649134.post-26637622671327788622010-07-16T20:40:49.768-07:002010-07-16T20:40:49.768-07:00Oh, that's perfect.

Kind of like conquerors all through history. I see her more as Glenn Close or Blythe Danner than Honor Blackman though- hardcase, uptight, matriarchal. Isis would be like Penelope Cruz on Ecstasy- emotive, motherly rather than matronly.The Secret Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676425268231171924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649134.post-11106634973922213692010-07-16T19:19:10.910-07:002010-07-16T19:19:10.910-07:00I'll keep an eye out for them, and thanks for ...I'll keep an eye out for them, and thanks for the Goddess info. I have to say that I have a much tougher time differentiating the goddesses, go figure, uh? :-)<br /><br />I do feel for Hera though. In AT theory, I wonder who she would be? Is she the original ape DNA who was "jilted" after the aliens/Sons of God combined their DNA with the apes?

Juno comes more from that warrior sky god continuum that came in from the steppes. I think I'd equate Juno/Hera with Nut, at least in the original sense. Hera/Juno was seen as part of the old state cult later and no one much paid her mind once Isis and Cybele hit the scene. In Rome certainly Cybele took the place of Juno. Isis was always seen as degenerate and dangerously populist amongst the old families. There's as much Cybele in Mary as Isis, particularly the castrated priests in the frocks.The Secret Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676425268231171924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649134.post-6441757447679588072010-07-16T18:20:42.569-07:002010-07-16T18:20:42.569-07:00Hi Chris, personality wise they are certainly diff...Hi Chris, personality wise they are certainly different, though they are both the wife of the head honcho in their respective pantheons, so in that way they are the same - the Queen of Heaven?<br /><br />The only one I've studied is the Dark Knight, which is certainly showing the Joker as a vengeful homosexual. Which is perhaps a reflection of Mr. Nolan's own subconscious homoerotic desires and fears, but I can't really say.<br /><br />I see he may be doing a new Superman film, almost hate to see where he takes that...<br /><br />Great post on Individuation vs. the mass mind, BTW.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531037998720855468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649134.post-47192466274427698332010-07-16T16:07:59.392-07:002010-07-16T16:07:59.392-07:00I don't know if I'd equate Hera with Isis-...I don't know if I'd equate Hera with Isis-part of Isis' appeal was that she wasn't a vengeful bitch like Hera/Juno. But I loves me some Honor Blackman.<br /><br />But the dark side of the rainbow is an apropos place to ask you my question- what do you think of my theory that Christopher Nolan's films (excepting Inception, which I haven't seen) are all gay S/M-slash-domination narratives?The Secret Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676425268231171924noreply@blogger.com
