Water and Dirt: A Curse

Homer, Iliad 7.97-100 [Menelaos speaking to the Achaeans] "This is going to be a truly awful disgrace unless some Greek goes against Hektor now. But I wish you would all turn into water and dirt Each of you sitting there, similarly feckless, fameless." ἦ μὲν δὴ λώβη τάδε γ’ ἔσσεται αἰνόθεν αἰνῶς εἰ μή τις Δαναῶν νῦν ῞Εκτορος ἀντίος εἶσιν. ἀλλ’ ὑμεῖς μὲν πάντες ὕδωρ καὶ γαῖα γένοισθε ἥμενοι αὖθι ἕκαστοι ἀκήριοι ἀκλεὲς αὔτως· Schol. bT+T ad Il.7.99 "I hope you become water and dirt"...

1989 was a busy year for underwater adventures. Bringing the raddest decade in history to a close was four different features, all taking place in the icy depths of the ocean floor. Undoubtedly the most widely known of the lot is James Cameron’s The Abyss, that made its appearance in the theatres in August, ranking as number two in the box office (Ron Howard’s comedy Parenthood keeping its place as #1). The film had been long time coming. Cameron had written a short story revolving around gro...

Painting the Fountain of Life 1

Fountains were originally natural springs which were controlled to deliver water in a manner that makes their supply more accessible. Instead of trickling away into a stream, their jet of water is entrained so we can drink from it, or fill containers. Without water there can be no life, so fountains are seen as delivering the water of life, an important role particularly in more arid environments. In this article and its sequel tomorrow, I look at a selection of paintings which include fou...

Water as a Portal to Transcendence

"The sea holds an abundance of comfort and inspiration and danger, all that a person needs in order to rise to the full largesse of beauty… If you allow this beauty to become a blank, if you turn your back to the blues and deny your dependence on them, you might lose your place in the world, your actions would become small, your soul disengaged." "Every story is a story of water," the Native American poet Natalie Diaz wrote in her stunning poem "lake-loop." Water is central to the c...

Shocked to hear him say this so matter-of-factly I blurted out, "it wasn’t barbaric, it was a good tradition...
