Based on the what was learned about trust in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, trust is the most basic trait needed in everyday life. Without it, things cannot set into motion. Aslan is portrayed as a great ruler of Narnia, kind and merciful, just as lions were known to be in medieval folklore. He is trusted by the inhabitants of Narnia to lead them out of the Witch’s evil rule. The fact that C.S. Lewis was expressing his opinions and showing the value of trust in the story through the characters is shown in my interpretation of the several events in the…

Overview Dr. Blackwell has done extensive research on the Mycenae’s Lion’s Gate and preliminary research on the Treasury of Atreus. He believes the gate had attachable lion heads that looked back because that would distribute the weight best considering the dowel holes; based on the bodies’ definition and the space for a mane, he thinks they are male lions. He believes the Lion’s Gate relief was at least inspired by Anatolians, specifically by the Hittites. Based on appearance alone, the Lion’s Gate is more three-dimensional than other purely Greek reliefs, and the column is more plain than others, like the ones in the Treasury of Atreus. Perhaps, artisans from the Hittite Empire came to Mycenae in a trade of skilled persons between Mycenae and Hittites, so they could have done some the work themselves.…

For instance, the memories Saroo has of himself as a child, those shots are filmed from the perspective of a three foot tall child.…
There was mention the lion as a symbol for God in the Gospel of Mark. “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.” (Mark 1:3) The lion is believed to be signal of strength and the many lion art pieces show the influence of God in Greco-Roman culture. The sculptures of the lions caught my eyes immediately and made me think of the Gospel of Mark and how God’s power was paralleled to that of a lion’s.…
