Epilogue To The Goddess Of Hydra

Improved Essays
One day, Hydra’s mother asked Hydra to tend the garden and house while she went to the market. Hydra, being the lazy girl she was, watered the garden with a snap of her fingers and didn’t even leave the house. She sat in her room when all of a sudden she was blinded by a light. In the middle of her room an old woman stepped out from behind the curtain of light. ‘She surely is a goddess’ Hydra thought. She was absolutely right. The goddess that appeared before her was Mary, a kind hearted goddess that would always help the ones who prayed to her in need. However, this time Mary was the one who needed the help. “Excuse me Madam, but who are you? And why have you entered my humble abode so abruptly? “ asked Hydra.
“ I am Mary,

How can I, a mortal, help you?”
“Oh child, you are far, far from ordinary.You hold tremendous power.” The fire goddess reassured Hydra.
“How so? What are they? How is it possible for me to discover and use them?” Questioned Hydra.
“Slow down. You already have discovered them, you've been using them since birth. In fact you just used them moments ago.” Mary stated and wondered how has Hydra not figured out how to use the magnificent power she has since most gods and goddess are born with an insect that tells them how to properly control and utilize their powers.

“Water, Hydra! You have the power to control water anyway you like.” Stated Mary being a little annoyed at how clueless Hydra was.
“Really?! I thought...” Hydra looked at her hands in shock, analyzing each and every curve and line her hands had.
Mary walked over to her, and grabbing her hands kneeled.
“Beautiful Hydra, these hands hold much more than what the eye can see. You can do great things young one. So come with me, I shall teach you how you can use these powers for good.” The goddess said standing

    Although Homer's Odyssey is predominantly a male-centric story, there are several female characters who not only interact with Odysseus but aid him on his journey, such as Circe and Athena. These women assist him in his endeavours by not only offering advice but providing him with the tools necessary to follow their instructions and persuading others to help him, as well. However, these women, especially Circe and Athena, are merely plot devices to reiterate the Ancient Greek idea that men are superior to women, as well as to get Odysseus where he needs to go and keep the story engaging and exciting. Circe, a minor goddess, is mainly used as a plot device and to engage because she keeps the story exciting, has no traits other than the fact that she is beautiful, and helps Odysseus get to the Underworld. Circe keeps the story exciting for…

    What motivates us mortals in our day-to-day lives? Some say money, love, or the pursuit of happiness, but for the Greek gods, it is because they are aware that they are indestructible. By taking note of Hera and Athena’s actions throughout the events of the Iliad it is clear this conclusion reigns true. The Trojan war was fought by men, but the real focal point of the conflict were the actions of the gods and goddesses. It seemed as if no side could gain a decisive edge without some form of divine intervention.…
