Libra Contellation

As Astraea sighed more and more deeds she became increasingly angry at the wickedness of her fellow beings. Eventually, she decided to flee from earth and returned to the heavens where she stayed with her golden scales forever.

    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.…

    Zeus explains to Athena that Poseidon despises Odysseus because of the role Odysseus played in the plot to exterminate the eye of the Cyclops Polyphemus. The reason Poseidon is so infuriated by this is because Polyphemus is Poseidon’s son. Therefore, Poseidon maintains a hatred of Odysseus and “will not let him end his exile”(200) Homer indicates that although Odysseus encounters a great deal of misfortune in his journey, the major misfortune was the disapproval of Poseidon and Zeus.

    Justice has been an evolutionary concept that has been forever evolving for thousands of years. However, in order for the modern deduction of justice to have been made by modern standards, the concept of justice itself needs to be established. Although its formal understanding may have been unclear during their time period, Hesiod and Homer both attempt to understand and exert their opinions as to what justice is through their epic poems and other works. Even though some of their views on justice conflict and others compliment each other, they both laid a foundation to explain what justice meant in Greek society.…

    Human beings suffer, and when they do so, they suffer as a whole being; the cognitive, emotional, physical and spiritual combine to induce an entire-bodied aching experience. One suffering cannot be entirely disconnected from another, and it is from this reality we infer human suffering. Euripides’ ancient (431 BCE) tragedy Medea presents the human experience in an original light, wherein three prominent figures are imbued with a sense of insanity, or mental suffering, as a result of, or in correlation with, their emotional and physical suffering; combining conventions of tragedy (assumptions that the universe is cruel and malevolent, stripping romance from the myth) to achieve this pinnacle of ancient tragic literature. This notion of human…
