I guess, many of you here in read.cash (if not all) are familiar to Greek Mythology. For those who don't, Greek mythology is a body of stories concerning the gods, heroes, and rituals of the ancient Greek. In other words, its genre is all about Ancient Greek Folklore concerning the origin and nature of the world, the lives and activities of deities, heroes, and mythological creatures, and the origins and significance of the ancient Greeks' own cult and ritual practices. For more information, check it here.

I became so attached with the stories about Greek mythology for the reason that we always tackle this topic way back Senior High School years. Obviously, that became the reason why I chose the username name "Eurydice".

In Ancient Greek the name Eurydice means "wide justice", where eurys means "wide" and dike means "justice". The correct pronunciation of Eurydice in English is Yuh-rid-ih-see.

For those who are not familiar with Eurydice, she was a nymph in Greek mythology, one of the daughters of the god Apollo. She was married to Orpheus, a legendary musician and poet.

To know her deeper, you can check it out in this link.

Why Eurydice?

Way back Senior High School, I was always the kind of student who wanted to become the main lead role of a specific roleplay presentation. One day, our teacher grouped us into 5 groups, she wanted us to give life the different Greek mythology stories through drama presentation. I was so happy because I really wanted to portray Eurydice. Sadly, our group was assigned to other story where I became the Goddess of Agriculture, Persephone.

I was jealous to my classmate who portrayed Eurydice. I wanted to portray her role, I really want but there are times where we need to accept things especially if it's not meant for us.

Since we're talking about Presentation, I also got to portray the role of Psyche and was able to represent our School in "Informance Competition" in Division Level. Sadly, I didn't win an award but it's the experiences that counts.

Real Name Reveal

My real name is "Jaemaica'. For it not to spell like a country name, my aunt suggested to insert silent " e" between the letters "a & m". Even if there was an E, it's still pronounced as " Jamaica" with a silent "E" .HAHAHA

The funny thing about this was that, my Father and mother wanted to name me "Jan Marie". " Jan" comes from my birthday which is "January" and "Marie" was a combination of my papa and mama's names which are "Vil(ma) and Ci(rie)lo".

As the nurse's asked my father what would be my name, he almost utter the words " Jan Marie" Luckily, my Aunt came and she suggested to name me "Jaemaica".

It's not that I don't like the name " Jan Marie" but I think I prefer the present name of mine..

" A name represents identity, a deep feeling and holds tremendous significance to its owner". - Rachel Ingber

We must always treasure and be proud of our names because this is one of the best gifts that our parents and family gave to us.

That's it. I hope that this article will help you (my read.cash fam.) to know me little by little. I am hoping that we can exchange thoughts and opinions in this site comfortably. Thank you so much and Take care.

Love,

Eurydice
