In case you haven’t heard, the somewhat campy 1981 movie Clash of the Titans is being remade, scheduled to come out Spring of 2010. The theme of the mythical storyline is about a man (even though he was somewhat extraordinary) struggling to survive amongst the conflicts between the gods (little “g”) and the offspring of the gods (called Titans). It was common among the Roman and Greek myths to have conflict among the gods, who don’t actually fight directly with each other, but use humans, titans, and heroes as mere pawns in their epic battles. The poor humans who happened to be nearby often suffered because of these battles.
People today believe that they are in charge of their own destiny, and have the freedom to do what they like. This is true, however, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t going to be victims as bystanders in some titanic struggle that they didn’t start or fully understand.
