From the classic illustrations of Wagner's great Ring cycle -- fifteen hours of stirring, provocative opera giving the best creation myth you're likely to hear -- comes this depiction of the Rhinemaidens, imploring the Gods on their Rainbow Bridge above to return the Rheingold.The rape of the Rheingold is where the trouble all begins . . .
NB: Have a wee look at this post for a hint as to the meaning of this particular creation myth.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
