Ok since the subject of 3s was brought up, we mayaswell mention all of the places where 3 occured in Classical Mythology...

3 Fates
3 Graces
3 Gorgons
3 of the people who protected the Gorgons... cant remember who they were
3 things given to the Guy who killed Medusa- Shield From Athena(minerva), Winged Sandles From Hermies (Mercury), and I cant remember the 3rd... I think it was from Zeus (Jupiter)
3 simbles of Hermies (Mercury)- Winged Sandles, Winged Helmet(Greek Only), and the Caeticus (The Staff he got from Apollo)
Zeus had 3 wives... I can only remember Hera, and i think one of the others started with 'M'
3 Golden Apples in the race (cant remember the people involved )
3 Goddeses - Hera, Aprodite and Hestia (I think)- Arguing over the Golden apple Labled "For the Fairest"

Ofcourse there would be more... I cant remember EVERYTHING i once knew... I studied the paralells a couple of years ago, out of interest, and found out alot more besides!!

But I should remember more than that...

And Melusine, I know im NOT dislexic, I am going into year 10- school goes back for me tommorow- and I have always been able to read quite well... and infact it IS one of my hobbies. I often Lurk OUAP in the hope of finding a good read... and very rarely am I disapointed.

At the moment, In case your wondering, I am right near the End of LOTR- im up to book 5 (yes there are only 3 novels in there... for those who didnt know, each novel is 2 books long. Book 5 is the first Aproximate Half of the Return of the King.) I wont say exactly where im up to incase of spoiling anyone who hasnt yet read it.
