00:00

Sorry And here's your smoke du jour brought to you

00:05

by the maids of mount olympus Nobody cleans up a

00:09

god awful mess Better okay let's skim the following passage

00:14

Familiar Have only read this like eighty times before on

00:17

human labor and blab above the four armed kannon lines

00:21

But uh francis source And we're done so The title

00:34

of this article is the sea stis of magnolia What

00:37

significance does this title have to the reading And here

00:41

are potential answers right now Love divine Very practical Well

00:47

see stis is an armored club that was used in

00:49

ancient battles in greek mythology Ag Leah was a goddess

00:53

of beauty and adornment who was married to have festus

00:56

the god of metallurgy and weaponry So by now we're

01:01

pretty comfortable with this passage and we have a fairly

01:03

decent idea of what the others talking about You know

01:05

the author doesn't talk about religion or its inspiration on

01:08

art and he never comments on well made gloves artistic

01:12

or otherwise That means we cannot got answers danny in

01:15

the first round now let's break down the title itself

01:17

The sea stis of ag julia First we know that

01:20

paglia is the greek goddess of beauty and adornment We

01:23

also know that her husband the greek god of armor

01:25

and weaponry sounds like just the kind of guy who

01:28

would be in the ceaseless business Fine art is often

01:30

admired for its beauty and its ability to liven up

01:33

its surroundings so often Author wanted something or someone to

01:36

symbolize the fine arts in a title for his article

01:39

Actually it makes a pretty logical choice Meanwhile a cease

01:43

this is made out of metal and has a more

01:45

pressure awful purpose than simply providing beauty Sounds like a

01:48

perfect representation of the mechanical arts tow us So why

01:52

would agli ever need a cease this of her own

01:54

The image of a fair goddess of beauty wearing a

01:57

metal glove made for war would probably raising a few

02:00

eyebrows up on olympus but gains nothing but support from

02:04

us mortals which is another way of saying that they

02:06

are a dichotomy And since the author spends much of

02:09

this passage highlighting the difference between the mechanical arts and

02:12

the fine arts and it makes sense that his title

02:14

would do the same thing symbolically that means that sea

02:17

is our right answer Now would somebody buy those messy 00:02:20.743 --> [endTime] god's a roomba Yeah
