Thanks again! It's ok to spoon feed me. I knew Goethe was a huge fan of Ovid, and why not. Once upon a time, I used Ovid as master of how to play "the game" Still knowing, how deep Ovid was in just about every aspect of life. I take the Ancient Greeks as ultra advanced. The Hellenistic influences of Ovid are undeniable. Perhaps every poet traces back to Homer in some way,,,, It's a long list of who's who that've been influenced by Ovid. Two of those being Dante & Shakespeare.

Perhaps. Unravelling Goethe's Faust is daunting and totally worthwhile. The closing scene you shared from the Marlow play was well done IMO. On a much smaller scale and depth, although seemingly as surreal, I have an experience from early 2020 that reminds me of Faust climbing up the Brocken. I was accompanied on that trek by "twitchi" and her cloven hooves. It's all in my ppj thread, now hidden, curiously named In the Company of Devils. I think there is enough distance in time and location, that I may return to it and finish it up. Basically, it's 200 pages of notes of things that ( I could possibly forget) happened from August 2018-April 2020. There are plenty of things went on I won't ever forget that I need to add to it. Supernatural was commonplace. Thank you for your fine analysis. I hadn't realized the Philemon connection between Ovid and Goethe, if I had once been aware of that, I had since forgot it.

Nice, thanks for sharing I expected someone to bring up Carl Jung.

Good hook, or no?

If newly minted types of creatures were emerging; from it, seems, gates of creation, could be a good moniker.

In the US, not surprisingly, among the academic realms, the better courses on demonology are found at Harvard, University of Chicago, Princeton, and obviously Yale At UC Irvine, Humanities dept. Simin Amini is researching Ancient Iranian demonology in her PhD program. Hofstra offers and undergrad course as part of their Religion catalog. Religion 066 Demonology: the dark side https://bulletin.hofstra.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=121&coid=405310 Careful selection of a proper mentor could be key. During my own grad school research (some of the very best resources of sources require hefty subscription prices, usually only afforded by University institutions) anyways; some Renaissance course I took, and Shakespeare's The Tempest had been assigned to me. Prospero, a magician, held a fallen Angel, Ariel. They had some interesting conversations, those two did. Somewhere in my research, I guess I wandered off course, as I sometimes do, and was checking out a contemporary of Shakespeare s, named Kitt Marlowe, who had a play Doctor Faustus. During my research I came across this. The play was controversial, which, no surprise about that, then I read, during the performance of the play, audience and actors alike were shocked when real devils appeared on stage. Marlowe was soon after murdered one evening in a pub at age 27. So, anyways, my latest incarnation as eternal student is looking like Hold That Tiger!! LSU grad school. Oh yeah, why I'm posting on this thread, One final friendly reminder in general, keep politics off the open forum. I could rant myself, how every politician is in league with demons, but I digress. Edit-- ever think about how close denominations sounds like demon nation
