	Mythology and Science Fiction - Comparisons and Observations
		Mythology as a whole, along with most television series, seem to stay away from complex characters, which are believed to be "too complex" for the average viewer to understand and connect with.
		Part of this humor is due to the quirky tales of mythology that are told, such as the episode where Aphrodite calls Athena a nerd, and Athena calls Aphrodite an airhead.
		If, as Weintraub believes, mythology is "a metaphor expressive of the hope, faith, and mystery of human destiny," (Galinsky, foreword) we can easily see a connection to science fiction and fantasy, which many people embrace because of the positive view of the future.

		It is not a coincidence that the story chosen as a theme for the Prambanan sendratari is depicted in reliefs on the inner side of the balustrades of candi Siwa and candi Brahma, in the inner court of the complex.

	Toward Understanding Headhunter and Cannibal religion
		Adolf Jensen has repeatedly expressed his own despair about his inability to explain the central fact of Hainuwele mythology, that is, its existential connection with headhunting as well as the implied necessity of ritual killing.
		And all of this misunderstanding happened in broad daylight--in spite of the fact that the hunter context of the plot is not in the least disguised.
		But such domestic animal-related activities are not the subject matter of Hainuwele mythology; nor are they among the goals that the sacrificial Maro rite was meant to enhance.

	Notes and Themes
		The oracle of Zeus-Ammon was the oracle of Jupiter (Herodotus IV.181).The name “Siwa Oasis” must have been attached to the oasis by the Macedonians, like Ptolemy I, returning from the invasion of India, Shiva or Siva being the name of Amon there.
		The oracle was established in memory of the event and in honor of the deity.
		When J. Wilson writes (volume to honor Albright) that it is an admission of failure that the chief cultural content of Egyptian civilization—the religion, with its mythology again and again narrated and alluded in texts and pictured in statutes and temple reliefs, is not understood—he is right.
