    For example, the “temple …” (Callimachus 41) and while in “the hall of Zeus, the gods …” (Hymn 178) both “tremble.” Along Apollo “founding” (Callimachus 42) or constructing “foundations” (Hymn 183) for a temple (Hymn 183) or a “shrine” (Callimachus 43). Though these components and a few other parts of the plot do seem quite similar, these parallels can be explained through Callimachus’s general knowledge of the Greco-Roman gods. Callimachus could have easily obtained information about Apollo without ever seeing or hearing the Homeric hymn through other stories about the god circulating in his…

    Deception is used by both gods and humans to accomplish their goals, whether that be a sinister or positive goal. Though human’s use of deception has created noteworthy Greek myths, the god’s use of deception is more prevalent and relevant in Ancient Greek culture. When examining three examples of god’s deceptive actions, Aphrodite’s, Athena’s, and Prometheus’s, the role for which the gods use deception becomes more clear. These three myths are examples that emphasize how gods usually have similar intentions, employ a heightened sense of deception, and encounter the power of Zeus when enacting the various forms of deception. To begin, Hymn to Aphrodite, specifically lines 45-290 in The Homeric Hymns shows not only Aphrodite’s deception to Anchises but Zeus’s power to deceive Aphrodite with her own influence.…

    The reconciliation of Hermes with Apollo and the gift-giving that ensues in the Homeric Hymn to Hermes (4), despite involving possessions and titles, ultimately signifies a trading of respect and recognition. Following his birth, Hermes lacks an official rank or sphere of rule and, as a result, must prove himself worthy of acceptance from his divine peers. The method he uses to accomplish this, while sly and deceptive, is acknowledged as being admirable and garners him his initial title as the god of thievery. That Apollo is targeted for the theft is meaningful because, as Hermes' older brother and the god of music, Apollo is in a unique position to give Hermes the esteem he desires in exchange for Hermes' musical invention of the lyre. Hermes embarks on the escapade to steal Apollo's cattle with the intention of establishing for himself a formal place in the pantheon of Olympian gods.…

    The Altercation of Apollo One of the Cleveland Museum of Art’s proudest, and most controversial, pieces is the statue of Apollo by Praxiteles. Steven Litt from the Plain Dealer writes that since there is not clear documentation concerning ownership, exportation, and authenticity of Apollo, he should not be displayed in the Cleveland Museum of Art (2). Curator, Michael Bennett, was so blinded by the bronze Apollo that he disregarded any of the moral codes set by the Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA), the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD), the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA), and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). All of these organizations encourage the exporting of international art because is supplies cultural diversity around the world;…

    In a sense, he did his duty as a god by solving a problem the gods created. Besides the serpent incident, he was so daring as to threaten his father Zeus. When Zeus shot a lightning bolt at Apollo’s son, Asclepius, it killed him and because of that, Apollo killed the Cyclopes. This indicates that if he doesn’t get the respect he deserves, then they will end up suffering and shows how Apollo would never back down when someone had done him wrong. When this is compared to Hermes who holds the title of thievery and trade, it signifies his way with information.…
