Gugalanna, the Bull of Heaven, was an ancient Sumerian god who could change into a fearsome bull. He was sent by the gods to kill Gilgamesh for rejecting the advances of Inanna-the queen of heaven. He was, unfortunately, slain by the hero. #FairyTaleTuesday #folklore #mythology

When you dine, La pisadeira watches! Beware of her if you ever go to sleep on a full stomach! She'll sit on your chest so you cannot move. She'd watch gleefully as you panic, helpless and trapped in a body that will not move!#Brazilian myth #Folklore #FaustianFriday #SouthAmerica
The time has been
That, when the brains were out, the man would die,
And there an end.
But now they rise again
With twenty mortal murders on their crowns
And push us from our stools
- Macbeth (Macbeth, Act III, Scene IV) upon seeing the ghost of Banquo! #FaustianFriday
