    However, Demeter realizes that it was not her inability to protect her daughter that resulted in her abduction but the result of Zeus’ decision to allow Hades to take her. Accordingly, Demeter channels that self- punishment into anger and retribution towards Zeus which ultimately causes Zeus to reunite Persephone back with Demeter. In the case of Sappho, she inflicts self -punishment upon herself by rehashing the memories that she had with her lover exemplified by “you would let loose your longing and neither any [ ] nor any holy place nor was there from which we were absent” (94). By ruminating over the past, she causes herself pain because in the back of her mind she knows that she can never get those memories backs. However, those emotions quickly transform into anger towards her lover that eventually fizzles out and provides Sappho a sense of peace and hope for new love as previously…

This is prime example of how Homer’s world differs greatly from that of related trilogies. The very “human-like” qualities to which the goddesses display are not too far fetched from the reality of mortal life that exists below them. This directly relates in comparison to that of Aphrodite’s epiphany in the Hymn to Aphrodite in virtually the same way it has related to the encounter between Helen and Aphrodite in The Iliad of Homer. The display of a mortals actions, has directly affected the actions as well as reaction of the goddesses, with little distinction between them.…
