Maybe the early morning juxtaposition of the pynch list and Arthurnet, but
suddenly I was struck by a connection between Vineland's females and the
Greek quartet of goddesses:
Sasha the maternal as Hera
Frenesi the desirable but faithless as Aphrodite
Prairie the pure as Artemis
DL the warrior as Pallas Athena.
I don't see a deep correlation, but certainly the archetypal goddesses are
represented here.
