DARLIN'   BY JOHNNY REID
Valentine's Day - together as friends
Cool! Friendship on a day of love - awesome blends!

This week, there are words derived from mythological gods and goddesses. They are shown in Word of the Day - anyone can subscribe.   The author of Word of the Day is Anu Garg.
For one reason or another - The Book of Myths, from formal schooling in Saskatchewan - is dear to me about gods as part of myths. Always liked mythological gods and goddesses' stories from family encyclopedias. Garg states that they have all left a mark on our language. Interesting. Look up her daily write on words to see more but there is one below:

Prometheus

from Anu Garg's Word of the Day February, 2012

"Waiter, there's a god in my language!" from Anu Garg's Word of the Day daily site. Google. Subscribe to enjoy daily!
The first god mentioned by Garg is Prometheus, from Greek mythology. Some of his claim to fame (or infamy) are:

  "He made man from clay, stole fire from Zeus by trickery, and gave it to humans. For his crime he was chained to a rock and an eagle devoured his liver to have it grow again to be eaten again the next day. The name means forethinker, from Greek pro- (before) + manthanein (to learn). Earliest documented use: 1594."  That's what Anu Garg said about Prometheus.  Why for Valentine Day? 
         For love of men and women not Zeus!
