Imagine feeling like the fate of the entire world depends on you arranging your furniture and decorations in circles. Or in you counting everything to make sure you have an even number of things. On top of that, you have horrible nightmares about an inter-dimensional creature that will cross into our world and destroy everything unless you make sure the eight stone pillars keeping it at bay don’t become seven. It’s enough to make anyone lose their mind …

Because there’s also a theme of temptation in that story, we talk about stories from religion and Greek mythology in our award winning Academic Segment, namely Adam and Eve, Pandora’s Box, and Orpheus and Eurydice. Those stories have the common thread of bringing bad consequences to their protagonists for giving in to the temptations around them.

Oh, and beware of El Cuh 🙂
