Part of the beliefs and objectives of Elysium Gates web hosting services is to promote, acknowledge and support volunteerism.  Every area of Elysium Gates has opportunities for people to volunteer, reach out and connect with others.  In the Agora, the area that hosts Personal pages that are unique and eclectic and unusual individual entrepreneurs, there are three main types of volunteers:  Muse, Oracle and Torch Bearer.  Read about them below and consider volunteering yourself!

Each area of Elysium Gates. Inc. has a Muse that coordiantes the activities and volunteers of that area.  Muses are primarily responsible for generating contests, awards, and activities to promote the Area's Charitable Project.  Muses are great organizers and instigators.  If you have an idea that needs to be put in action they are the volunteers to contact.

Muse Miscellania is unique to Agora as there was no such Muse in classical Greek literature.  Since Agora is the area for wonderful eclectic sites that cover a broad range of topics, it seemed appropriate to name the muse, "Miscellania."  Also in the interest of being fair, we made this muse appear male.

If you wish to be a Muse, or if you have a great idea, or are in need of a Muse's help, e-mail Lady Kythera Ann who is the coordinator of the Muses.

Agora has two oracles, one each for the god and goddess of the area.  Oracles are the primary support team for area residents.  They are pleased to help you with your site and answer any question you may have.  They will work to resolve any problems that might arise in regards to your site.  If they don't have the answer they know who to contact!  Oracles also help with the various activities of the area and administrate the web ring.  You can always ask a question or say hi to your Oracles on Elysium Gate's Forum. 

The god of Agora is Melicentes.  Traditionally he was the god of harbors (any port in a storm).  Since Agora has many harbors with interesting sites he was pleased to reside here.  His Oracle is the "Oracle of the God Melicentes."

The goddess of Agora is Tethys.  Traditionally she was the goddess who had 3000 children by Oceanus and populated the seas. She's rather tired with all that birthing now, so has retired to Agora where she can share her wisdom.  Her Oracle is the "Oracle of the Goddess Tethys."

If you wish to be an Oracle, if you have a question or are in need of an Oracle's help, e-mail Pegasus.

Agora's Torch Bearer helps people find things throughout Agora and Elysium Gates.  They are the guide for a new member's orientation to this realm.  They also encourage everyone to participate in our many activities.  Torch Bearers seem to know everybody, they are great networkers.  If you shmooze with our Torch Bearers you too will soon know a great many people at Elysium Gates.

If you wish to be a Torch Bearer, if you are lost or in need of a Torch Bearer's help, e-mail the Goddess Pandia who is the coordinator of the Torch Bearers.
