In the ancient Greek myths, ambrosia (Greek: ἀμβροσία, "immortality") is sometimes the food or drink of the Greek gods, often depicted as conferring longevity or immortality upon whoever consumed it. It was brought to the gods in Olympus by doves, so it may have been thought of in the Homeric tradition as a kind of divine exhalation of the Earth.
Ambrosia is sometimes depicted in ancient art as distributed by a nymph labeled with that name. In the myth of Lycurgus, an opponent to the wine god Dionysus, violence committed against Ambrosia turns her into a grapevine.
Ambrosia is very closely related to the gods' other form of sustenance, nectar. The two terms may not have originally been distinguished; though in Homer's poems nectar is usually the drink and ambrosia the food of the gods; it was with ambrosia Hera "cleansed all defilement from her lovely flesh", and with ambrosia Athena prepared Penelope in her sleep, so that when she appeared for the final time before her suitors, the effects of years had been stripped away, and they were inflamed with passion at the sight of her. On the other hand, in Alcman, nectar is the food, and in Sappho and Anaxandrides, ambrosia is the drink. When a character in Aristophanes' Knights says, "I dreamed the goddess poured ambrosia over your head—out of a ladle," the homely and realistic ladle brings the ineffable moment to ground with a thump. Both descriptions, however, could be correct as Ambrosia could be a liquid that is considered a meal (much like how soup is labeled the same).

Plot: In the distant future the world is in the grip of another ice age. A city originally built to house five million people is now in its death throes as the relentlessly advancing glacier is slowly crushing the metropolis's steel infrastructure. The relatively few surviving fur-clad inhabitants, perhaps thousands, perhaps only hundreds, drift aimlessly in their grim, drab world, awaiting their inevitable fate as they try to survive from day to day with scavenged firewood and minimal diet. Their only solaces are booza, an alcoholic drink distilled from moss, and Quintet, a seemingly innocuous board game for six players. The only other surviving mammals are roving packs of hungry mastiffs which roam the city's corridors and quickly dispose of the remains of the dead. Newly arrived from the south is Essex with his pregnant wife Vivia, seeking shelter in the doomed city only to find it populated by people middle-aged or older. They had supported themselves by hunting seals, but now that the last of the aquatic mammals has been killed off, they seek shelter in the apartment of Essex's brother, a renowned Quintet player. The new arrivals quickly learn that the game has a more sinister side.

História A ambrosia', ambrôsia ou ambrósia (em grego: ἀμβροσία), também chamado de Manjar dos Deuses do Olimpo, era um doce com divinal sabor, alguns diziam que tinha o poder de cura e se um mortal comum o comesse ele morreria. Conta a história que, quando os deuses o ofereciam a algum humano, este, ao experimentá-lo, sentia uma sensação de extrema felicidade. O nome Ambrósio, que vem da mesma raiz, significa divino e imortal. Conforme a mitologia grega, esse manjar era tão poderoso ao ponto de ressuscitar qualquer um, bastava apenas que alguém pusesse em sua boca. É também o nome de um doce originário da Península Ibérica, popular também no interior do Brasil, feito de leite, ovos e açúcar. No Brasil, também é conhecido como doce de ovos. Porém há variáveis. Segundo alguns mitos, se sem...

Until I met you baby
I only played with the band
But when I play my polonaise now
On my piano grand
I can't help but thinkin'
Of our first one night stand
When my precious hands were tinkling
On my little Georgie Sand
Come on and danse with me George
The pants you're wearing mama
And the cigar in your hand
Sorta put me off at first
I didn't understand
But now I love my vichy mama
I adore you and
I wouldn't ever leave you baby
For another man
Come on and danse with me George
You know your lips can spout quotations
But when your hips start their gyrations
They can thaw Valley Forge
Danse with me George
The memoirs of a mademoiselle
Far ahead of her time
Has left us all a legend
That's never gonna die
To say your ways were novel
Would be a lousy pun
But of late I've been feelig awful
I want to have me some fun
So come on
Put your pen aside baby
Come on
Your lips are driving me crazy
We could talk this out I'm sure
If you would just shut your mouth
So come on,
So come on,
da, da, da Danse with me george
Well your lips can spout quotations (Waltzin', minuet, mazurka)
But when your hips start their gyrations (Doin' it 'till we're beserka)
They could thaw Valley Forge
Danse with me George
LE DANSE
The legend that you leave us Is never gonna die.....
