THURSDAY July 18th at 7pm: Monsters & Myth - THE SPHINX pt2

"A former queen fights to save her life and the life of her true love"
Monsters & Mythology
THE SPHINX pt2

The Sphinx, a horrifying flying creature with the body of a lion, the head of a woman, the wings of an eagle, and brass talons that can rip an armored giant to shreds. After Hecate, Queen of the Harpies, retires in order to marry the lame little poet, Thallo, Hades plans a way to bring Hecate back into his realm. The Lord of the Dead summons the Sphinx and orders her to kill Thallo, thus giving Hecate no reason to leave her grisly post. But the Evil One also knows that Hecate will fight to save her love -- which just might lead to a riotously enjoyable bloodfest! Meanwhile, Demeter, Lady of the Harvest, is threatening to cast a famine across the land unless she gets back her daughter, Persephone, who has been abducted by Hades. Receiving no help from the bribed King of the gods, the turns to Charon, the master ferryman, and together they attempt to do the impossible and rescue the April Child from the most murderous of beasts. Amid flying hags with stingray whips, hundred-handed giants, a ravenous three-headed dog, and wingless dragons that spit blue flame, a former queen fights to save her life and the life of her true love. Hecate and the Sphinx thus become entangled in one of the greatest battles ever witnessed, with the loser destined to languish forever in the Eternal Fate.

THURSDAY June 27th at 7pm: Monsters & Myth - HECATE pt2

"Death can be outwitted but never overcome"
Monsters & Mythology
HECATE pt2

Hecate, Queen of the Harpies. Sprung from the bowels of the Underworld, this leather-winged monster torments the enemies of Hades. Chief among these enemies are Orpheus, the poet whose songs call souls to life, Asclepius, son of Apollo and heir to that god's medical skills, and Telesphora, who possesses a healing touch. Each separately falls victim to Hecate's cruel schemes, but together they frustrate her efforts to deprive the mortal world of its two most divine practices, poetry and medicine. The tale of Hecate depicts a world where pain and suffering threaten human love, and where death can be outwitted but never overcome. It is also a world in which compassion undoes cruelty, joy supersedes rancor, and courage sustains human endeavors into death's mysterious realm. Here, then, are the great contraries of human existence -- encompassed in the world of myth.
