MSU English 212

I am the class judge-high-arbitor of decency! Woohoo!

First I must say two things: One, googling images is rediculous amounts of fun and I encourage everyone to do this occasionaly. It is rewarding and exciting. You never know what you might find next. Two, don't click on ANYTHING if you are offended by nipples, buns, nude babbies, etc. 1/2 of the art described in Cadmus and Harmony has these. The nipples and buns might be covered with a sheet, but the billowy wind will still leave little to the imagination. By clicking on the right links, you could concievably get to some very raunchy stuff. If it offends you, stop there. Don't keep clicking on the offensive material. Blame your own curious self if you keep clicking. So, here's my system to indicate the indecent, the clothed, and the particularly relevent art.

• * Iindicates nipples, butts, naked babbies and potentialy anything else(painting, barbie doll or any other form/medium). Also, please use the word "Caution" or "Graphic" somewhere visible.
  
• + Indicates a work of art which appears to be one of Calasso's inspirations. These would be the important ones to look at as they relate to class material.
• Blank(or no notation) indicates a relevence to the subject but with no potentialy offensive material.
  

That being said, here are some pictures I googled up from the first half of chapter 1.

Persephone

Interesting side note: "Creusa felt appolo's hands llock around her wrists as she bent to pick saffron"(p4)
Look at how in most of these abduction pictures, the wrists are the object of motion. We are shown the wrist as it would indicate motion from both subjects. It represents the subjects idea of control in the paintings. Also, see how the horns can simulate the wrist. Early femanism!
