I just wanted to correct one error in it's text here... [snip] > Amos' most recent past is the subject of her latest work > Boys for Pele (Atlantic)--this Pele isn't the soccer star, > but the volcanic god to whom young men were once > sacrificed. Well, Pele is a *GODDESS* - not a God... and the sacrifice young men aren't her only claim to fame (much as the aztec priests took a spiritual and metaphoric phrase in the sacred stories about "opening one's heart to the sun" in a literal, violent interpretation -- i.e., sacrificing victims by ripping their still-beating heart out and displaying it in the shining sun -- it is the preists/preistesses which make the call as to whether to sacrifice, *not* the goddess...) Well - I digress - here's a few quick links an inet search turned up on Pele - I don't have my library here at work with me... and I don't feel like typing in a bunch of copyrighted material anyway =8^) http://leahi.kcc.hawaii.edu/~cook/myths/memmy1.html http://www.ics.hawaii.edu/~cmoore/613/Cyberwaii/Pele.html http://www.hitrade.com/2Kane_Pele.html http://www.hitrade.com/2Kane_Book-Pele.html http://hawaii-shopping.com/~sammonet/pele.html Talk to you all later, - -Richard. @ \@/ Richard A.
