She tried contacting her many relatives for help such as Apollo, Hermes, Dionysus and many others, but none would respond to her, asking “Whose child are you? Zeus is always having so much children!” Laticus had decided that she could only care for herself and ventured out of Alipheria and into the mountains. While en route to the mountains, Laticus made a quick trip to the Underworld to visit her uncle Hades. While visiting and explaining her situation to Hades, he had graced her with two things to help her with her journey: a Sword and her own personal sidekick; Jamal the Angry. With thanks, Laticus continues on making her journey up the mountain. Travelling away from the city and away from home made Laticus realize how bitter she felt about Zeus neglecting her. She felt angry, she felt sad, she felt as sorts of rage that she never knew she could experience. She had made a plan, a plan that would help with her negative feelings toward Zeus, a plan so good that it’ll only benefit Laticus and hurt Zeus. Laticus had planned to kidnap Zeus, and push him off a cliff, inevitably killing him. It was …show more content…
Upon entering, Laticus looking high and low for Zeus which she eventually found him sleeping away. Fortunately for Laticus, her plans had just become much easy. With quick and hasty movements, Laticus and her sidekick Jamal tied and bonded Zeus with her amazing knot-tying abilities and slowly creped out of the house, carrying Zeus away from the city and back up to the mountains. Zeus had eventually woken up from his nap and was immediately alarmed by the different setting he was in. Suddenly, a puppy appeared in front of Zeus, making him confused but finding the puppy absolutely adorable. But then, the puppy had slowly transitioned into a human, with that human being Laticus, causing Zeus to be shocked. Zeus was so very confused! How did he get here? Why was he brought here? What would happen from here on? Laticus had all the answers to his question, which is did inform him on. Learning that Laticus had planned to kill Zeus had made him rage. Zeus knew he had to put this crazy shenanigan to an end. Zeus had telepathically communicated to Gaia for help. The ground around Zeus and Laticus had slowly started to rumble, which

    • 4 Pages

    Lysistrata, a play written by Aristophanes in 410 BC is a comedic battle of the sexes as the women of Athens decide to take it upon themselves to end the Peloponnesian War. Lead by the titular character Lysistrata, women from both sides of the war agree to abstain from having sexual relations with their husbands to have the men cease fighting. In the end men from both sides, in obvious and extreme sexual frustration, agree to end the war and return home with their wives. Although Lysistrata is a comedic play, it was written in a time of deep-conflict and offers an insight on how the long war affected both sexes. Women in Athens were not included in the democracy, and had no say on any political matters, thus it was a humorous and safe choice…

    Aeschylus’s trilogy The Oresteia is a play of immense proportions, and at its heart it is a study of morality and the palpable tension of the competing ideas of dikē – justice or right. It depicts a societal change from one form of justice and law to another; from the law of the old gods to the law of the new. The third play in the trilogy, The Eumenides, depicts the culmination of this conflict, where all the individual conflicts reach their conclusions and the overarching themes of the trilogy come to their dénouement.…

    Masculinity In Lysistrata

    • 1156 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Comparative Analysis in Lysistrata Lines 507-520 & 360-369 I will argue that these two passages are a commentary on the state of masculinity in this play. These two passages reveal the fragility of masculinity. This fragility is revealed through their tendency for violence and aggression, poor decision-making abilities and absolute refusal to be questioned about their decisions. Aristophanes uses these passages to remark on how instead of men being the stronger sex, their fragile masculinity ultimately makes them inferior to women. When the Councilor attempts to end the women’s siege on the Acropolis, Lysistrata confronts him on the damage men have inflicted to the society through the war.…
