Females Feeling More Pain As I was reading Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the stories “Narcissus and Echo” and “Pyramus and Thisbe” stood out to me the most. The stories brought me to a time of my life that was very dark. I went to my best friend’s house one day, and told me that she was in love with an ex-boyfriend of mine, who happen to be her neighbor. She was going to ask him out as soon as he comes out of his house. She looked so happy, but I knew this guy and I did not want to see her hurt. Before…

it all the more rare and horrific. Furthermore, the reader is given even more sorrow when Pallas’ father exclaims, “but I defeated fate, a father doomed to outlive his son” (XI.189). This brings back the idea of pietas, a major Roman idea that would surely appeal to any Roman hearing this story. Evander’s clear misery at outliving his son is exemplified through the simplicity of his speech by making him much more accessible…

Mythology can refer to collected myths in which they tell to explain nature, history and customs. Some may think that myth and mythology is the same thing, well no they’re not. A myth is used to refer to the stories told and mythology which I said before is used to refer the study and analysis of those stories. Relating to mythology, religion can also be used to refer as an idea of history, and nature. Religion is belief in a supernatural power. Religion and mythology can have a lot of things in…

Hidden Intellectualism, is something that is in the very essence of Greek/Roman Mythology. In fact, the idea of the myths existing without intellectualism is humorous thought. This is do to the fact that if the ability for people to question and debate on the events and choices of the stories and characters was not a thing, then the popularity and general acknowledgment of their existence would have caused them to be forgotten. To add to that, the vast number of stories helps to add many ways…
