Since today's #FolkloreThursday is island-themed, check out the discussion @Colebrax and I had about Homer's island-hopping adventure THE ODYSSEY and some outstanding adaptations across different forms of media: https://t.co/ReE2XBFRlN (Art: Boecklin)
#FolkloreThursday - When Odysseus visited the #underworld, the shade (ghost) of the seer Tiresias--a self-realized human who had lived years on Earth as a man and a woman--was the only one able to give the #Greek hero the advice he needed to return home. (Art: Füssli.)
#FolkloreThursday - Mermaids or Sirens are part human/part fish. They appear in the #Greek adventure novel THE ODYSSEY (8th century BC). Famously re-imagined by Andersen, Lovecraft, Disney... and David Bruckner for a segment of the excellent 2012 #horror anthology movie "V/H/S"
