Mythology

Another day, and here we are looking at the same old to-and-fro with Greece. Someone leaks a story that the EU is discussing aid, which the Germans angrily deny…after which the Greeks themselves lambaste speculators and claim that they don’t really need any help, anyways. Yaaawwwwnnnnn. And here’s the euro, caught in the same tepid range of the last 4-5 weeks. It’s a pretty sad state of affairs when a Wham! song most aptly describes the state of the market.
How the Olympic gods must look down in despair. Zeus, Athena, Apollo….one can only imagine them shaking their heads in disbelief at this sordid and sorry display. Indeed, this whole saga leaves Macro Man wondering if the entire Greek pantheon needs a little modernization; religion, after all, has always moved with the times.
And so, dear readers, allow Macro Man to suggest a few updates for inclusion in the next edition of Edith Hamilton’s classic Mythology:
[Proposed Translations, in order: PIGS, Civil Servants, Merkel, Papandreou, Τιtle (or ?), IMF, Goldman, Trichet, Sarkozy, Bernanke]
