Absinthe Thujone Recipe

I had been having some headaches with my son’s high-school grades, especially in his Literature class. Being a long-time literature and history teacher made me feel embarrassed. So I decided to read to Steve his lessons while having dinner.

In our very first dinner lesson I started reading and making some comments: “In the “Iliad”, the famous story about the Trojan War by the Greek poet Homer, Achilles was a great hero and warrior. However, he had one weak spot, the heel of one foot. When he was a baby, his mother wanted to be sure that her beloved son could never be harmed, so she dipped little Achilles upside-down in the magical River Styx. Wherever the water touched his body, he became invulnerable. But since she was holding him by his heel, that part of him never got wet. Years later Achilles was killed in the Trojan War by an enemy who shot a poisoned arrow into his heel”.

Steve asked “Didn’t the Iliad and the Odyssey happen together”? And I answered closing the book: “The “Odyssey” is a Greek epic poem relating adventures of Odysseus on return from Trojan War.”.

Steve said: “I heard from my literature professor both stories were written by Homer. Maybe he was under an absinthe thujone recipe”. I answered without noticing his last comment: “Apart from the historical writings of ancient Israel, the two major pieces of epic literature in Western civilization are the 'Iliad' and the 'Odyssey'. These two works represent a brilliant retelling of myths and legends. For the Greeks of the 7th century BC, however, these books were their history. Their past had been obliterated by the destruction of Mycenaean Civilization.

The tales that came down to the Greeks from Homer and other storytellers were regarded by them as authentic narratives of a past they could not otherwise recover. The individual who has traditionally been credited with putting the ancient Greek legends into writing is Homer. About him nothing certain is known. The later historian Herodotus said that Homer was a Greek from Ionia on the west coast of Asia Minor”. As soon as I had finished my explanation my mind sent me the word “absinthe”. I said “Wait a minute… what is that absinthe thujone recipe?”

Steve explained to me: “Relax mom, he said “maybe” I see you do not know what I am talking about, let me give you a little lesson; an absinthe thujone recipe could be the following known as “Absinthe B-55”: You need 1/3 shot coffee liqueur, 1/3 shot Bailey's Irish Cream, and 1/3 shot King of Spirits Gold absinthe. Then layer all the ingredients in a whisky glass. This drink will sneak up on you and soon you will be licking the floor”.
