Sinossi

Ovid's 'Metamorphoses' is a seminal work of Latin literature that encompasses a collection of myths and legends from Greek and Roman antiquity. Written in dactylic hexameter, this epic poem consists of fifteen books exploring themes such as transformation, love, tragedy, and the power of the gods. Ovid's unparalleled storytelling ability and vivid imagery bring these ancient tales to life, making 'Metamorphoses' a captivating read for lovers of classical literature. This work is considered a cornerstone of Western literature and continues to influence writers and artists to this day. Ovid, a Roman poet, was known for his innovative approach to mythology and his skillful manipulation of poetic forms. Fueled by his exile from Rome in 8 AD, Ovid crafted 'Metamorphoses' as a way to preserve and reinvent these timeless stories, ensuring their enduring legacy. His keen understanding of human nature and his masterful storytelling make 'Metamorphoses' a work of art that transcends time and culture. I highly recommend 'Metamorphoses' to readers who appreciate classical mythology, poetic craftsmanship, and timeless themes that resonate across generations. Ovid's masterpiece is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the enduring impact of the ancient world on our modern consciousness.

    The day you decide that your life is your own is the best day of your life. There will be no apologies or excuses. There was no one to lean on, rely on, or point the finger at. The gift is yours, it's an incredible journey, and you're solely responsible for its quality. This is the first day of your life. Having a purpose in life is one of the most fundamental human needs. Ikigai, a Japanese concept, means "a reason for being." It refers to living a fulfilling life. Many different activities can provide people with a sense of purpose in life. These activities can range from volunteering to providing social support to the elderly and even caring for pets, all linked to increased happiness, better health outcomes, and longer lifespan.Everyone is equipped with an ikigai. Your ikigai is the reason you get up in the morning, the reason you want to live fully and cheerfully. Your ikigai isn't something your makeup; it's something you're born with. The Japanese believe that discovering one's ikigai necessitates a long, contemplative search that can lead to life satisfaction and meaning. All you have to do is dig far enough to locate it. Your ikigai lies at the crossroads of four circles: what you enjoy, what the world requires, what you can be compensated for, and what you're skilled at.

    Bigfoot and the Loch Ness...

    People have always been fascinated with the hidden, the mysterious, and the unexplained. Every society has its tall tales and ghost stories, its odd legends, and heroes. Also, every society has its stories of strange beasts, dangerous or benign, that live in the twilight world between the everyday and the legendary. Through most of history, people have been closely tied to nature, hunting in forests and having an intimate knowledge of the animals in their regions. So-called “primitive” peoples were walking encyclopedias of the natural world, and yet most believed there were more creatures lurking in those woods than the ones they usually encountered. Even as the world becomes more connected, the belief in strange creatures continues as strong as ever. 
    In North America, the most debated subject in cryptozoology concerns the existence (or otherwise) of a large, unknown hominid inhabiting the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Canada’s West Coast. For many skeptics, this is nothing more than a woodland fairy tale that illustrates the credulity of believers, because they believe it would be impossible for such a creature to exist in a country as heavily populated as the United States yet remain completely unknown to mainstream zoologists. Moreover, no one has been able to capture a Bigfoot or to find remains 
    	While cryptids like Bigfoot and the Yeti have become popular in recent decades, none of them can touch the notoriety of the Loch Ness Monster, a large, unknown creature allegedly living in a loch in the Highlands of Scotland. Was it a relic dinosaur or perhaps an entirely new species? New photographs and new eyewitness sightings fueled a growing debate and transformed the Loch Ness Monster, also known as Nessie, into an instantly recognizable staple of pop culture, to the extent that hundreds of thousands of visitors came to Loch Ness every year in hopes of catching a glimpse of the loch’s famous inhabitant.
