Presentations- John Horner

John's presentation connected the realm of myth to that of science fiction. First he mentioned Frank Herbert's Dune series, with Paul Atreides becoming a Tiresias character due to his prescient vision. Next he mentioned the character Superman, who functions as a greek mythic hero of near godlike stature and renown. Surprisingly, Superman's true name Kal-el translates into 'vessel of god' in Aramaic.
