Is vaseline and glycerine the same?
No. Beewax is a '45 carbon-long chain' mono-ester that is a waxy solid (C15H31COOC30H61 melting point about 60oC) Glycerin is a 'three carbon-short chain' poly-alcohol viscous lquid (glycerol, C3H5(OH)3, propane-1,2,3-triol) The common link is you can use beewax in soap by itself and by the process of "saponification" which breaks the ester down into its component long-chain carboxylic salt (aka Soap) and medium-chain alcohol (which is glycerin if you use beef tallow but something different with saponified beeswax). If you look at saponification link, you'll see the general saponification reaction is R - CO - O - R' + NaOH --> R - CO - ONa (soap) + R' - OH (alcohol). Normally when fatty acid esters (from beef fat aka tallow, etc.) are saponified, you get conventional soap and glycerin. When you saponify beeswax instead of tallow you get a soap and an alcohol that is different from glycerin but is an "analog" of it.
Who are the sirens and the fates?
The Sirens were young and beautiful bird-woman in Greek Mythology who lured sailors onto the rocks to their death with their enchanting voices. They are most famous for being in Homer's Odyssey where they tried to lure Odysseus on his way home from Troy. He made ear plugs for his crew with beewax and told his crew to tie him to the mast of the ship. when Odysseus begged his crew to let him down they could not hear him. The Fates were three goddesses who controlled the thread of life of every mortal from birth to death. There names were: Clotho: She spun the thread of life from her onto her spindle. Lachesis: She measured the thread of life with her rod, deterimining how long someone was to live. Atropos: She was the cutter of the thread of life. She chose the manner of a person's death. When she cut the thread, someone on Earth died. Kirsty
