There has been a sensational streaming of mythological hyperbole since the songstress Sirens first sang to encourage mariners to their doom. Would it be possible to encapsulate where the albums symbiotic relevance begins and ends?
Is Henry really Bernard, setting sail on his vessel of cheese? - has Count Dracula any real relevance to the Minotaur? ... would Hooky really defeat the skeleton army from Sinbad and the 9th Voyage of the Olympiad?
You've done me. I understood the Dracula bit, but that's all I'm afraid. Cheese on a boat? Is that not Dangerous, or is there a reference to Turn there somewhere
You've done your best though Shunter, and that's all anyone can ask.
Bernard's slight of hand seems to carve beyond the initial subject matter beating a mythological path through a more magical adventure land. How he bumped into Dracula en route to a scrap with a half rabbit, half man type beast is a stumbler I'll admit, but most of it seems all Greek. Wouldn't you agree?
Answers on a postcard to the usual address.
This might sound harsh, but would it not be more intriguing to witness a film devoted to the book, rather than the author? - with or without Orlando's Broom.

Is that meant to be an attack on Joyce, H?
Quite the opposing force P - I simply meant that his words could inspire an as yet unmade great movie.
When I have more time, H, perhaps I can provide more detail. I've previously identified chapter 5 as being a crucial episode.
Remind me, though, who's Henry?
Henry is the lead character.
I was in candid deliberation recently over the theory of the concept to someone who has knowledge over the myths. It was interesting how the album did tally in certain situations.
I was going to take a crystallization of the concept once it was formed in entirety for complete evaluation.
It was pointed out that the album may not run sequentially with the concept.
But that again was just a theory.
I'm glad to hear you're receptive to my theory, H. Let me know once you've worked it all out.
I think you've got Barney mistaken for someone else. Rather than going home and looking to ancient Greek texts for lyrical inspiration, I get the impression that he sits on Steve's porch at 10.28 at night, the others have all laid their bits down, he sees a bag of crisps blow past and then before midnight, he's written Krafty.

I don't see any real inconsistency between these theories.

He has the Greek texts down by heart, so he doesn't need to look at them.
