british memo grows in mythology, if not in media Yet he demurred on the memo,saying the british intelligence chief offered no specifics.
http://www.sptimes.com/2005/06/26/Worldandnation/British_memo_grows_in.shtml

Extractions: It's actually the minutes of a meeting, not a "memo." And among hundreds of words, just 10 jump out. But apart from the steadily rising body count in Iraq, few things have so galvanized American antiwar sentiment as the so-called Downing Street Memo. Disclosed May 1 by London's Sunday Times, the memo outlines a meeting July 23, 2002, at the residence of British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The head of British intelligence, fresh from talks in Washington, tells Blair that President Bush is determined to remove Saddam Hussein and that "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy." Dated nine months before the invasion, the memo quickly became big news in Britain, where critics said it proved Bush planned to go to war regardless of whether Hussein truly posed a threat. The furor hurt Blair, the president's staunchest ally, and contributed to the poorer-than-expected showing of the Labor Party in the May 5 British elections.

Encyclopedia mythology [Greek,=the telling of stories], the entire body of myths in a given tradition, and the study of myths. Students of anthropology, folklore, and religion study myths in different ways, distinguishing them from various other forms of popular, often orally transmitted, literature. Much of that literature is classified according to its presumed function: fables, which instruct; etiological tales, which explain; and folktales, which entertain. Myths may perform any one or all three of these functions, but in addition play a critical role in how a culture constructs its sense of time. In this sense myths are contrasted to history, which concerns recent, well-documented events, and to poetic epics and narrative legends, which concern an historical person, place, or incident from the distant past; an example is the story of Lady Godiva's naked ride through Coventry. (The legends of Norwegian and Icelandic kings, recorded from the 12th to the 15th cent., are called sagas.) A myth, however, is generally a story that takes place in an imagined, remote, timeless past and tells of the origins of humans, animals, and the supernatural.

http://www.rambles.net/matthews_mabon02.html

Extractions: British and Welsh mythology can be quite impenetrable to the casual observer. There's the Arthurian cycle, the Mabinogion , the various gods and goddesses running around having battles with giants and whatnot, and none of it is properly explained in Bullfinch or neatly summed up in little tales about the constellations. Those students devoted enough to work through the Mabinogion are likely to end even more confused , gaining only a distaste for British mythology. That's why a law should be passed that the Mabinogion only be presented alongside Caitlin Matthews' is best read alongside its companion volume, but a set of neat synopses serve as reminders of the basic tales for anyone who may have misplaced their Mabinogion , or even never read it. But the real purpose of the synopses is to provide quick links for the very insightful notes and entertaining speculations that make up the weight of the book. Matthews not only links the myths in the cycle to each other through similarities that are easily overlooked, she examines the place of the stories in the wider world at the time of their creation. Her knowledge of the history of the Mabinogion is impressive, and clearly informs not just her knowledge of the use of the myths, but her understanding of the stories. She finds parallels not just between obvious tradition like Welsh and Scottish, but also among the Roman myths and even some Egyptian tales. Also welcome are her views on character motivation and story drive. Anyone familiar with folklore has noticed the lack of reasons for much of the characters' behavior. With historical reference and solid cultural knowledge, Matthews goes a long way to explaining why much of the most baffling behavior of heroes like Bran is not only acceptable, but socially inevitable. Those who don't accept that a story may happen just to fulfill part of a myth cycle will find this humanizing of the legends especially valuable.

Extractions: (Welsh: Custennin; Latin: Constantinus; English: Constantine) After the gradual withdrawal of Roman troops from Britain in the last decades of the 4 th century, several generals rose to power as Emperors over the mainland British. Legend, particularly perpetrated by Geoffrey of Monmouth , states that the British people looked to their cousins in Brittany for such leadership. King Aldrien of Brittany declined the British High-Throne, but offered up his young brother, Constantine in his stead. Constantine landed in Britain with 2000 men and overcame the barbarians already invading the Island's shores to become High-King as Constantine Waredwr ( the Deliverer Constantine has been variously identified with one of several near contemporary men of this name appearing in ancient Welsh Royal pedigrees: the Galfridian brother of King Aldrien of Brittany, a son of the Emperor Magnus Maximus or a King of Dumnonia in South-Western Britain. The latter is perhaps the most popular, yet also the most unlikely and based on his grandson

Celtic Mythology
In the british Celtic tradition, the most vivid example of animistic of thisarchetype in the british Celtic mythological universe of the Mabinogi.
http://www.celtic-myth.com/

Extractions: Celtic Mythology Introduction What we know about Celtic Mythology is largely gleaned from the books and manuscripts of medieval Ireland and Wales. These literary sources can be supplemented by the iconographic and archeological record from the pre-Christian Iron Age Celtic world itself, alongside external observations about the Celtic peoples and their druidic religion by contemporary witnesses such as Posidonious, Plutarch and Julius Caesar. From these diverse sources we can develop a fascinating picture of a magico-religious system which in some ways parallels practices and beliefs evident from elsewhere in the Indo-European world in the last millenium before Christ. In other respects however, it is also possible to discern within this tradition an unusually sophisticated aesthetic and metaphysical conception which possibly owes something to the more indigenous elements of the prehistoric West - including the megalithic cultures of the Late Stone Age and Early Bronze Age background (3500 -1500 BC). The Celtic mythological universe is essentially animistic , in which the tutelary goddess , representing the life and fertility of the kingdom occupied a significant position. The

FAQs, etc. A Staff Report by the Straight Dope Science Advisory Board Is the black hole of Calcutta a myth? 09-Oct-2001 Dear Straight Dope: I was lead to believe that the incident known as "The Black Hole of Calcutta" was true but recently discovered that the story may have been (using a polite term ) "embellished." In fact, it appears to have been a great exaggeration that contributed to the downfall of Britain in India. What's the Straight Dope and why did no one investigate this more thoroughlyor did Britain need a war to help the economy? Dan Bennett SDSTAFF John Corrado replies: Actually, Dan, you've got it a bit backwards. The incident in Calcutta (or, to use the spelling preferred by India as of last December, Kolkata) was not the beginning of the end of British rule in India. Rather, it was the end of the beginning. Or, at least, the middle of the beginning. Or somewhere in the beginning part. Not the absolute beginning part, thoughthat would start with the formation of the British East India Company in 1600. But we'll get to that in a second. The story of the Black Hole, for those unfamiliar with it, is this. In 1756, Sirai-ud-daulah, the Nawab of Bengal, decided to show off his power by driving the infidel Europeans out of Indian lands. His army attacked Fort William in Calcutta, and captured 146 soldiers of the British East India Company.
David Frum's Guide To Mythology, Part II, By Christopher Montgomery

http://www.antiwar.com/goldstein/g110602.html

Extractions: L ast week we looked at Mr David Frum , and we found him so incredible and fantastic that we felt we'd have to come back and look at him some more this week. Our initial interest in him was excited by this stray Canuck being inflicted on right wing British newspaper-readers as a guide to all things relating to US foreign policy. We were suspicious; we had a good long stare at his terribly naughty fib Britain and Europe think the United States is in the grip of some phantom 'Jewish lobby'. There were three other 'myths' that Mr Frum affected to believe we on this side of the Atlantic are prey to: that the war is 'about oil'; that it is a 'Bush family vendetta'; and that, the US is a 'rogue state'. And then, ever so daringly, Mr Frum produced a neocon rabbit out his mooseskin hat: 'America is subverting the Middle East'. Paper tigers, each and very one of his myths, but the rhetoric that handles them out into public view is worth examining, and, most importantly, we have to see what David Frum is boasting about as regards current US foreign policy. Whether his crowing is more wish-fulfilment than accurate summary remains to be determined.
