My Kid has been studying mythology in English, something I know very little about, other than those names that routinely pop up in crosswords - Argo, Clio, Erato. I know who Zeus is, and that Icarus flew too close to the sun and there was Athena and Aphrodite - one the goddess of wisdom and the other beauty, but I can never remember which is which. I don't know anything about Adonis, but I'm assuming he was HOT.
So I've been reading My Kid's mythology book a bit and I think I've found my girl. Behold Circe:
She was a goddess-slash-sorceress who turned the men who spurned her into animals. She turned all of Odysseus's men into pigs. I think I love her.

I think my goddess would be the Scots' "Inghean Bhuidhe," which means "yellow-haired girl" or "bloom of youth" and is the second of three sisters representing the harvest cycle. She represents the coming of summer and is the nurturing mother goddess of the ripening of the crops.
Of course, my hair didn't stay yellow once I left that all-important "bloom of youth" ...
I love it!!!! Thanks for the laugh. :)
