An Introduction to Nymphs|Literary References: Nymphs



"The identity of Anna Perenna is a mystery. Ovid tells two stories about her, but they may be his inventions. In one, Anna Perenna was an old woman who gave cakes to the plebeians when they seceded (494 B.C.). In the other, she is Dido's sister who was driven from Carthage to Latium after Dido's suicide. In Latium, Anna Perenna incurred the wrath of Aeneas' wife, fled, and was carried off by Numicus, god of a stream. When Aeneas' servants went out searching for her, they followed her tracks to the river bank where they discovered she had been turned into a water nymph."1

2010-11-12 [Akayume]: I can understand the quotes, but the source should be obvious. There wouldn't be a source if it was original work. Not only that but there is a disclaimer on the first page, which insinuates that there is material not of my own on these pages. That's what that's on the introductory page.

2010-11-12 [Akayume]: I suppose. But the whole point of the page(s) (if you count all the ones that I've made along with this) were to showcase sources from around the web, not my own.

Life on? I don't life on anything. :P I do live on occasion, however.

2010-11-12 [Akayume]: Also: (To quote myself) "On this wiki page and the sub-wiki pages to follow there will be several resources listed and discussed for anyone to use. These sources are taken from all across the internet, books, or other. All sources are cited, and all rights go to the respective creators/owners. The focal point of these wiki pages are nymphs. This includes but is not limited to the following: pictures, paintings, poetry, prose, facts, and/or mythology. BE WARNED! Some of the art might entail artistic nudity. Do not look if you will be offended." So it does say that it's the work of others. I never say any of it is mine.

2010-11-12 [Akayume]: I'm passive. Therefore I usually speak in a passive voice. When I don't I sound angry for whatever reason. *shrugs*

2010-11-12 [Akayume]: D'accord.

2010-11-12 [Akayume]: I meant not passive in the literary term, but as in a passive way of speaking?

2010-11-12 [Akayume]: I suppose.

2010-11-12 [Akayume]: *ba dump chhhhh*
