Pheme: A Poem Analysis

Improved Essays
I am Hecate, goddess of witchcraft, necromancy, night and moon.

*looks around the room*

Listen closely… don’t listen and you shall be turned into a ghastly beast and become my personal servant along with the old witch Gale. But that is another story for another time.

*looks at Cordell*

Go to the crows, Aphrodite! Put the mirror down! *waits* here, take a sip of honey mead while you wait. *Cordell takes it*

*whispers to others* She’ll be out in 3 seconds!

Ahh, there we go, just as planned. *takes a few steps* I have not learned about my birth nor do I wish to. My parents, Perses and Asteria, sadly could not make it today. However I have seen a few of my fellow friends. Hermes it's a wish come true to see you… I have missed your

*looks at Haiden* I still cannot that you enough for that. I have many great powers that you other gods shan’t know about. I will though share a few with you. I can see past present, and future. I know what all of you have done, but I shan’t be a gossiper like Pheme. My brain is filled with unteachable spells, recipes, and knowledge. None of you could ever withhold the power I have. I have great dark knowledge. *turn away from Emma* far ahead of Athena. Angel: When? When will you bring my daughter back.

*Angel talks* I’ll be bringing back your daughter this spring. It’s the same thing every year Demeter. She can only come in the spring. I’m Persephone’s minister and companion to and from the underworld. Back to my story.

I am Queen of the Witches. None are as great as me… and none shall ever be. Although some of you all may think I just stay in the underworld for all of my days, I do have several hobbies. I enjoy taking wandering at night, or visiting the cemetery. My pets usually go with me, and they would have come here, but I was informed by Phebe that my animals were bothersome. I’m not sure why my dogs and polecat would be but they were before I cast spells upon

    DO YOU LOVE HIM?” Mingo asked, af-ter all of his anger and hurt filled tears had abated. Ruby pulled away from him and walked over to the table where the breakfast he’d cooked, for her, sat cooling, and ran her hand over its sur-face, remembering. “It is a thing done that can’t be undone,” she said looking down at her growing belly.” “Take it from me, a dead man, answered Mingo, there’s nothing that can’t be rectified.”…

    Women In Homer's Odyssey

    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…
