    Powerful and harsh are the gods of ancient Greece. They are to be respected, worshipped and feared in order to live a peaceful and long life. Hesiod represents these gods in similar but contrasting ways through the tale of Prometheus and Pandora in his poems, Works and Days and The Theogony. Though both poems are different and take on a different form they are both considered wisdom literature because we learn a lesson of right and wrong from the tales being told. In these poems we examine the gods through the eyes of the man working for a living and through the eyes of the gods fighting for their place among themselves in Olympus.…

    Composed circa the end of the eighth century by Greek poet Homer, The Odyssey is an epic poem which retells the journey of Ithaca’s king Odysseus’s return home after the fall of Troy. During his voyage, Odysseus encounters a variety of different characters, all presented with their own set of attributes unique to them, but none of which deviate from the typical example consistent with their respective archetypes. Heroes, heralds, mentors, threshold guardians, tricksters, shapeshifters, shadows, allies, and temptresses make an appearance in the storyline of the poem, and it is not uncommon for one character to embody two or more archetypes. Although it may not always be obvious which category—or categories—a character belongs to, they are never…
