Page 1: Helios, Driver of the Sun 92
Every morning, while you’re snoozing in bed, the sun rises high into the eastern sky. And every night, when you’re getting into your pyjamas, it drops with a splash into the sea in the west. Over time, people have told many tales of how the sun moves across the sky. As the Ancient Greek story goes, Helios, the Greek God of the Sun, was responsible for moving the sun from East to West. He drove the sun across the sky in a golden chariot with the help of his four mighty horses.

The chariot glittered with jewels which sent light in all directions. Phaeton looked upon it with delight and longed impatiently for the joy of driving it. “Oh, my dear son,” said Helios, “do go not too high or you will scorch the heavens, or too low, for you’ll set Earth on fire. Phaethon was so happy to hear what his father was saying. He leapt into the golden chariot and the fiery horses chased out of the palace’s eastern gates.

Page 18: ILLUSTRATION FOR PAGE 17: Phaeton is climbing aboard the golden chariot which houses the giant golden sun. The sun is carefully placed inside the chariot, and it is huge. The four horses are massive, and look extremely powerful. They are grunting and blowing steam from their noses. Helios looks scared as he is helping his small son into the massive chariot. The seasons (Helios’s servants) look worried.

In “The Great Scarf of Birds” by John Updike, the speaker concludes that his heart has been lifted by the image of a gray scarf. The poem is marked with joy and reverence to the natural world around the speaker, but there is sadness in his last few words.

Edward Field’s “Icarus” expands on the theological myth of Daedalus and Icarus, but in a decidedly contemporary way. The author cleverly utilizes irony, diction, and the setting to show how our “hero” adapts to his catastrophic failures and acclimates to a 20th century life. Icarus is contrasted with his mythological past when the speaker highlights what originally happened before he so abruptly existed in the common economy of the second millennium. He employs, “Only the feathers floating around the hat showed that anything more spectacular had occurred”. The irony here portrays how apathetic society is towards other’s struggles.

Charles Mungoshi’s story “The Setting Sun And The Rolling World” uses symbolism to develop several themes in the story. In particular, Mungoshi uses the plane as a symbol to further establish the themes of uncertainty, change, and differences in opinion. The plane is a modern machine that is always on the move, going from one place to the next, as the way a boy dreams. He wants to leave his traditions in the hopes of creating a new future for himself separate from his father. Although the father views this as a mistake when he notices the plane disappearing “quickly over the southern rim of the sky,” we sense Musoni’s feeling of helplessness and anger towards his son.

Homer, Hesiod and the Epistemological Tradition Homer’s and Hesiod’s epic poems do not contain a philosophical system. Epic narrators are no critical thinkers whose purpose is to compare and analyse conflicting views on the origins of the world as well as on human nature, ethics and religion, searching for most adequate answers. Still, Homer and Hesiod have a philosophical value and can be integrated into a philosophical debate. Even if we limit our analysis to their role in the tradition of Greek philosophy, we have to admit their importance for several authors, starting with Xenophanes and Heraclites.
