#13 Crazy Thing I Would Love To Do
FLY OVER AN ACTIVE VOLCANO
FLY OVER AN ACTIVE VOLCANO
A Date with Hephaestus was my ultimate goal in my #13 crazy idea. Since my high school days, I was already an avid fan of the Olympian Family. Aside from being a fan, I fantasized being one of them as a goddess. I imagined myself as Aphrodite - the goddess of love, desire and beauty. She was the wife of Hephaestus. Being a wife of the "God of Fire", it was necessary that I had to fly over an active volcano in order to see my husband, Hephaestus down below the source of volcanic eruptions.
In Greek Mythology, Hephaestus is the son of Zeus and Hera. In Roman Mythology, he is known as Vulcan and the son of Jupiter and Juno. In both mythologies, this god is synonymous with fire. Hence, fire is called the "breath of Hephaestus", and manifests itself as a power of physical nature in volcanoes. In stories, when Hephaestus got angry he would heat up his furnace until the volcanoes would erupt. Between the two mythologies, I preferred Greek over Roman.
My obsession with the Olympians is still in me until now. I own both hard and electronic copies of the "Percy Jackson and The Olympians" Series; Kane Chronicles; and the "Heroes of Olympus" Series. I love reading them all over again and again if I have the time. I fall in love with Percy as early as in the "Lightning Thief" and my feeling was strengthened when I saw the movie.
Furthermore, I had already pre-ordered a kindle edition of the "Book Three of Kane Chronicles: The Serpent's Shadow" scheduled to be released by May 1, 2012. I can't wait to read the concluding book of the trilogy series.
Anyway, for a hair-raising experience of flying over an active volcano, please follow the link at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TOcewd4QeI .
