Summary: what is it?

I'm reading Edgar Allen Poe's strange cosmogony work, "Eureka,"
and it has a reference to the _Mare_Tenebrarum_ (Sea of Darkness?),
supposedly described by Ptolemy.  Anyone know what this thing
is?  A mythological entity?  References?

Regarding the eastern "dragon", another potential name which pops
up in very many places is naga.  One finds this name in the Sanskrit
epics, se asian tribal names, and modern cultural ceremonies.

There is a very interesting recent book by Sumet Jumsai (of Thailand)
entitled Naga: Cultural Origins.  For the most part the topic is prehistory
of southeast asia, but the connection with mythology is unavoidable.
There is also an introduction by Buckminster Fuller.

Subject: Morpheus

Hello,

I am new to this group.  I was just strolling along the topics when I came
across this one.

Anyway, the reason I write is that I recently had an interest in a
mythological character (Greek, I think):  Morpheus.  I don't know much about
mythology, and that's why I've posted here.  I'd like to know as much (not
too much) as I can about Morpheus.  I only know of one story, when he comes
to a woman in her dreams, as her drowned husband.  She didn't know how or
when he died, but she had the feeling.  It was up to Morpheus to let her know
exactly how it happened in the form of her husband.
I know (I think) that Morpheus is the son of Somnus; a brother of two, who
are the Dream masters of animals and objects while Morpheus is the Dream
master of humans.

Please forgive me for intruding if I have no place in this newsgroup, I only
seek more knowledge of this Mythological creature.  As you might deduct, I
am a growing fan of Morpheus.

Hello all, just a quick question for some mythologist. My girlfriend and i
were at the museum and saw in a display on the Orient that dragons 
only started popping up in their mythology in the 7th century AD (or 
some date like that). This seemed late. Did dragons sprout up earlier 
anywhere else? (Some friends seem to think that ancient Celtic myth had
dragons, but this is just a guess.) Did the Chinese originate it, and if
so how did it get into western culture (and when). Is it possible that
the Kimodo dragons have anything to do with the origin of the myth.

Any and all responses welcome, e-mail or otherwise.

From Grimal's dictionary of Classical Mythology:

One of the thousand children of Hypnus. His name (etymology is the greek
word for form) indicates his function: to take the shape of human beings and
to show himself to people during their dreams. Morpheus had lrge, swift
wings which beat silently and could carry him in seconds to the ends of the
earth.

Hypnus is one of the personifications of sleep, the son of Nyx and of Erebus
(or perhaps Astraea) and the twin of Thanatos (Death). Homer placed his home
in Lemnos. Virgil placed it in the underworld. Ovid in the land of the
cimmerians, who described a magic palace where evertyhing was asleep. He had
wings, travelling fast over land and sea and lulling humans to sleep. He
fell in love with Endymion, to whome he gave the power of sleeping with open
eyes, so that eh could constantly watch the eyes of his lover.

Nyx is the personification and goddes of Night. Erebus is infernal Shades
personified and son of Chaos (also brother of Nyx as well as husband).

Try hitting the local humanities library and looking for Mythology--Celtic or
Mythology -- British Isles.  I think Hearne even makes it into Larousse.
You might also want to look for references to "The Horned God" or "The
Green Man" or "Cerunnus" (sp?) or simply "The Hunter" in British Isles,
Irish, mainland Celtic, and germanic/norse sources.

Actually, Tiamat is the mother of all the Babylonian gods, who was slain by
Marduk, her ?great-grandson.  The "dragon" in Gilgamesh was Humbaba, but in 
one translation (by Herbert Mason) Humbaba was described as more of a giant,
and  in the translation in Pritchard's_Ancient Near East Vol. 1_, he is named
Huwawa and is referred to merely as "monstrous".

Is there no place on the net to post grafitti's electronic equivalent,

cannot be made for grafitti in alt.slack? I understood that alt signified
unmoderated, so that anytime wasted is freely voluteered by the posters

servers heating up and fribrilating (sp?) trying to keep up with an
exponentially growing set of responses.

Also, I did laugh hard when I read the summary rof one of the cascades
that someone recently posted. It was divided into chapters and so on,
written seamlessly in the language of a pretntious lit critic. If
you think about it, it's an interesting creative process that could
result in quality, with the proper thought.

Let's face opinions, Americans are too Phobophobic to get anywhere.  The only
thing to fear is fear itself, and the Claricysts are onto it like cascades on
a semiotaxonomist.  What are we to make of the strange prference for guilt
