So, if you&#8217;re not hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobic (afraid of long words), read on to get that GRE Verbal Practice in!<br><br>This week&#8217;s words are <strong>Agoraphobic, Claustrophobia, Arachnophobia, Hydrophobia, and Coulrophobia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"boo\">Boo!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fear is a natural phenomenon that has existed in humankind since day one. Usually in response to external stimuli, it&#8217;s an evolutionary advantage that has let us survive millennia, fighting or fleeing from every threat. These fears are rational, and are driven by an instinct to survive. <br><br>The origin of the word &#8216;phobia&#8217; is from ancient Greek Mythology. Ares, the God of War is depicted as a fearsome personification of blood-lust. Naturally, his children wouldn&#8217;t fall far from the tree. Phobos and Deimos, his two sons with Aphrodite, are the personifications of Fear and Terror!<br><br>Phobos and Deimos were Ares&#8217; attendants in war, and didn&#8217;t\/don&#8217;t have major roles in Greek Mythology.<br><br>(Fun Fact : As per custom, all planets are named after Roman Gods. Mars is the Roman form of Ares. In 1877, astronomer Asaph Hall discovered two satellites of the planet Mars, and named them Phobos and Deimos.)<br><br>The concept of fears has been beautifully woven into the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rick_Riordan#Bibliography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">stories of Greek and Roman mythology<\/a>, written by Rick Riordan. The demigod children of gods inherit their fears, and it works great.<br><br>Poseidon&#8217;s (the god of the sea) children are claustrophobic (afraid of confined spaces), since the sea\/ocean is always free and unrestrained.<br><br>Athena&#8217;s (the goddess of wisdom and strategy) children are arachnophobic (afraid of spiders) because of the rivalry between her and Arachne.

Although most cases occur when out in the open, places like shopping centers or even a crowded form of public transit could trigger an episode.

A closer look at history would make one doubt that.<br><br>Clowns and jesters have been part of all civilizations &#8211; Ancient Egypt, Roman to even medieval Europe.<br><br>A harlequin, (derived from <em>herlequin<\/em> or <em>hellequin<\/em>, meaning an emissary of the devil) is supposed to be mischievous, but its depictions and personalities often had a darker side to them.<br><br>The phantom sightings of clowns in several forested areas in America in the last few years did nothing to dispel the coulrophobia people already had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"i-m-loving-it\">I&#8217;m loving IT!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been a few depictions of evil clowns in literature and art such as the Pagliacci operas, but the one that became the archetype was Pennywise, conceptualized by Stephen King. Pennywise is an evil, cosmic entity that takes the form of a dancing clown who offers balloons (they all float!) to unwitting children. It lures them in with a jolly exterior, then devours them.<br><br>Interestingly, Pennywise wasn&#8217;t received very well when it came out (all 1400 pages of it!), but it&#8217;s now become a multi-media success, with it being listed on BBC&#8217;s The Big Read poll.  There have been several adaptations of the original book over the years.<br><br>Having said all this, many critics and researchers claim, that the idea and nature of coulrophobia has been distorted with the advent of these killer\/evil clowns. There&#8217;s something in that claim that rings true.<br><br>Coulrophobia, in essence, is the fear of garden-variety clowns (or circus-variety, in this case), the ones that simply wanted to entertain, and make kids laugh. And the Clowns of America International agree. They dislike the constant negative portrayals of clowns in Hollywood, and the propagation of coulrophobia by sensationalizing something as innocent as people wanting to make others happy. And when clowns are sad&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"r-i-p-robin-williams\">R.I.P.

So here goes &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHeard joke once: Man goes to doctor. He says he&#8217;s depressed, says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain.<br><br>Doctor says, &#8220;Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.&#8221; Man bursts into tears. Says, &#8220;But doctor\u2026I am Pagliacci.\u201d<br><br>And on that note, hope you enjoyed reading this.
