Drawing Conclusions or Better yet Correlations

The dreaded final paper that supposedly reveals our genius and complete and total understanding of the semester that has acted as predecessor to our lifelong interpretation and inclusion of myth for the rest of our lives looms before us. It seems almost unavoidable to not think of Dionyssus every time one orders a drink or think of Aphrodite as one embarks on that first or third or three hundred and seventy seventh date. How too can one ignore the power of Posiedon when staring at the vast powerful unknown that is the ocean? There are even some of the smallest nuances that have now crept into our subconcious as studious mythological sponges. So how does one decide who to seclude and who to embrace as the tools by which to reveal this understanding? Even by narrowing the playing field to how The Magus includes or incorporates myth seems hardly an adequate sieve. My answer is to find the most obscure theme or aspect of The Magus and run with it in a million directions to reveal the seemingly unlimited intertwining character of myth.
