Animal house: 1978 american comedy, based on alpha delta phi at dartmouth, spin off from the magazine national lampoon founded by harvard graduate douglas. A history of myth in 15 gods and goddesses: 5: demeter, goddess of agriculture, mother of persephone, one of the eleusinian triad with persephone and triptolemus. A history of myth in 25 quotes: 13 from an orphic gold lead tablet (ghm 6. 9) This is the task of memory, when you are about to die, (going) to the well-built house of hades. To the right, there is a spring, and next to it stands a white cypress: going down there, the souls of the dead refresh themselves. Do not come close to this spring, not even near! Say: i am the son of earth, and of starry sky. I am dry with thirst and am perishing; but quickly give me: cold water to drink, from the lake of memory.
