The Greek Constellations - Virgo and Libra

The story of Astraea and Themis

Beschreibung

Novella ten - the constellations of Virgo & Libra and the story of the Astraea the maiden, and Themis the scales.Astraea and Themis were both goddesses who were committed to advancing the living conditions of the humans who lived on the island of Thera. Along with other gods and goddess they believed that they'd become the role models for all future human progress advancements.Astraea strongly believed in justice and sort punishment for those that transgressed against the common good. Her belief was that punishment was a deterrent and that the formal process of trial and conviction for those found guilty of a crime had a place in society.Themis was more about bringing about restitution to an aggrieved person who was treated unfairly by another. He mediation skills gave rise to the belief that there was always a remedy when agreements fell apart.However, the speed of their progress and their intentions to achieve self-determination worried Zeus. After inspecting the work and assessing all that had been achieved, he concluded that it must come to an abrupt end. And as every Greek immortal knows, when Zeus is determined and has made up his mind, nothing stops it his decision from happening. For Astraea the decision was devastating, so she cast herself into the night sky as "the maiden", forever watching over humanity as the constellation Virgo.Themis was later honoured for her balanced outlook on life and is remembered as the scales as she evenly balanced out her reasoning and decisions. She is now known to us as the constellation Libra.

Autor

I began my formal writing with a stage play titled "Death Warmed Up,' After being inspired by a close friend, Di Day, who I aided with her debut play as her stage manager. "Death Warmed up was a great learning experience for me and I appreciated the cast and crew who laboured with a stage production that lasted nearly three hours. I learned a lot from the experience and by the time the play was performed for second time it had been edited down to two hours. Everyone from cast, crew, and especially the audiences, had a great time, so I was inspired to write my next play "Death Warmed up." The one debuted better than the first so I quickly followed it up with a romantic comedy titled "A lovely lobster tale", and then a historical action sci-fi titled "The Culpeper Code". I also wrote one act plays with Free coffee getting the most recognition. A one act play that I wrote titled "Follicle Farm" became my inspiration for my first novel. The play was terrible, but the book that came from its ashes has received high praise and is described as a delightful and humourous fantasy adventure novel. It takes the reader on a whimsical journey into the microscopic world of the human body. It follows Bobby on a journey of self-discovery of how he tries to convince head-office to implement his discovery of how to reverse alopecia and greying hair. My next book, titled "Your concise guide to the meaning of life," comes from a lifelong habit of trying to help people get more meaning and enjoyment out of their lives. It is a serious book written in an easy-to-read style, with suggestions in point form so that the reader can improve their lives. It has received favourable reviews for a book of this genre. My interest level in Greek Mythology has been with me since I could read. I have also been fascinated with astronomy and astrology. Work, family, and theatre have been my priorities, so until recently I've not been able to progress these interests. I now have four books published that combine these interests with another nine books in the pipeline. My website www.folliclefarm.com.au features my work and has some complimentary short stories set in the Follicle Farm universe.
