Here's a resource. Go check it out. For more, just type "T.S. Eliot 'the Wasteland', mythology" into your search engine and look it up, the old-fashioned way!

Answer 2

Good luck! I love Eliot, but he's a mess to hack through--especially The Waste Land. (I opted for Prufrock on my big paper on him, which still wasn't easy, what with lines like "I should have been a pair of ragged claws/Scuttling across the floors of silent seas"...)

Well, let's see. There are a number of vague allusions to Greek mythology, a lot of which you'd want to connect with the actual myths; there's the bit with the Tarot reader, which is very fun to dissect if you're familiar with tarot symbolism; the "Game of Chess" section, which says nothing at all about chess, but sorting the scenarios in it into a chess game could certainly eke out some good symbolism; the Fire Sermon...I could probably do twelve pages on this section alone, pulling in myths and stories from all over on fire to connect in...

I highly suggest checking it out beside a copy of Frazer's The Golden Bough as well==most of the "established" myths in the poem can be found in that book.

For the undertaking-loose memories, while you're no longer allowed to apply wiki, inspect Ovid's Metamorphoses. i could additionally study some Milton.
