Sample Of Congratulation Speech
The Cyclops Just
Arabs speak of, just to mention the Normans, this week will be devoted to Greece and its stories related to Sicily.
and stuff to tell them there is not enough.
After my very healthy dinner consisting of French toast
bacon, half a packet of lemon
ziguly ace and a glass of juice, can I collect my liver from the ground and begin my story.
Tonight we speak of Daedalus, the famous Daedalus, the one who had the
son so stupid as to get closer to the sun with wings of wax ... the dodger. Daedalus, the one with the pointy knees:-D ... that of the labyrinth, that of King Minos. What has this to do here with Sicily as beautiful magnificence and peaceful living in Greece?
Let's go step by step.
Daedalus was a talented architect and sculptor,
so clever and so good at his craft that was said to her sculptures seem alive.
But the gentleman described here was not a saint, indeed, they combined well to trouble a lot.
First was a murderer:
was as good as the inventor had overshadowed by his uncle, and Daedalus, full of jealousy, was "forced" to kill him.
accused of murder (but
go!) Exiled to Crete where he had the honor of meeting the King Minos.
Here we go down in history red light, so who are under 18 years do not continue reading the story ... ... Minos annually sacrificed a bull to Poseidon, but one of these years (just when Daedalus was found there), was born a bull so beautiful that he would not sacrifice to the god, and chose another.
Poseidon, offended, he wanted revenge so that Pasiphae, Minos's wife falls in love with the beautiful bull.
Pasiphae longed to mate with the bull, but, as we say
nuatri
, there was some technical problem that prevented copulation ... just a few, of little importance ...
But here becomes part of history Daedalus, who was a brilliant idea, namely to build a statue shaped like a cow, hollow inside and covered with cowhide. Taught how to position Pasiphae inside to allow the pair (I imagine the scene:-D) and after some initial discomfort the union took place.
So far no problem, as well as if the lady Pasiphae
became pregnant and gave birth to a being ugly, the Minotaur, half bull and half man. Who knows what
Minos was grateful for the wonderful idea that Daedalus had!
But the damage Daedalus who combined do not end here ...
Minos built his trusty Daedalus the famous labyrinth where the Minotaur and put her every now and then was sacrificed some human.
Among the various people who had the "fortune" to enter the maze to visit the show, there was Theseus, Ariadne's boyfriend (the daughter of Minos and the same person who will then abandoned in a island from the piece of rude of her boyfriend). Arianna, under one of the valuable advice of Daedalus, Theseus had come out of the maze. also did this stunt, really angry with Daedalus Minos.
Go to
made from the horns of a bull, but when enough is enough! And here is the history of Sicily ...
Daedalus and his son escaped from Crete with wings of wax, it was here that his son had the foolish idea to approach the sun and died.
But their father was flying low and occasionally wet wings and was able to glide in Sicily. Even
qui si accaparrò le simpatie di un regnante,
Cocalo , un re
sicano
. Ma intanto Minosse non dimenticava l'affronto e venne a sapere che Dedalo si trovava in Sicilia. A quel punto decise di approdare nell'isola sbarcando in una località vicino
A
grigento , che in suo onore venne chiamata Eraclea
Minoa
. Minosse, sapendo che Dedalo era molto furbo e che soltanto lui avrebbe potuto risolvere gli indovinelli più strani e risolvere i quesiti più difficili, ovunque passava prometteva denaro a colui che avrebbe fatto passare un filo attraverso le spirali di una chiocciola immaginando che lì a poco would have received the answer to the question. course Mr. "I know how to do everything," he managed to thread the line linking it to an ant which then ushered in the shell and let out a little hole behind.
Cocalo
did have the solution to Minos, not specifying that the idea was to Daedalus, but immediately asked the king Minos Sican to hand over the fugitive. Cocalo , who had been fond of Daedalus and did not want to lose him, he decided to come anyway Minos at the court, invited him to take a bath in hot tubs charmed and massaged her beautiful daughters. But the ladies do not were
its hospitable, in fact, drowned host. Sicani I handed the lifeless body to the Cretans, telling them that the king had died accidentally slipping :-)
do not know what other damage combined Daedalus, I only know that in addition to living in Sicily and lived for some time in Puglia and Sardinia , where he built the Nuraghe. I hope that at least there did well. As mentioned in a film by Benigni (Johnny Toothpick), Sicily never steal bananas, but another piece of advice I give is to never go in the bathroom of someone who is home, you never know! ! :-)))))))) Good night. var _gaq _gaq =
