Oedipus Rex, the first play featured in the Oedipus Cycle, reveals the past of the main character, Oedipus. As a baby, Oedipus was meant to be killed to avoid a prophecy. Instead, he grew up to unknowingly murder his father, Laius, and marry his mother, Jocasta.…

Jami Norton January 5th, 2014 Longley Archaeological Project Mount Vesuvius: Pompeii On August 24, in the year 79 A.D., the Vesuvius volcano erupted suddenly in southern Italy.

Pompeii was destroyed a few hours later on the same day as the third of six surges reached the northern wall of the town, with the final three surges then overwhelming the rest of the town too” (1). This detailed information is important for archeological record. Since, the volcano surged very quickly, wooden furniture and wax tablets were carbonized. However, the upper buildings were damaged first, which means destroyed by the volcano, then it surged the whole town. Archeologists suggest that Herculaneum was disappeared completely under twenty meters by the volcanic eruption.…
Explanatory Writing: Pompeii Daily life in Pompeii carries both similarities and difference to life today. In many of the households of Pompeii is where most of the work was done. Most of the sewing was done by the man or woman of the house.…
Over the centuries, the city was abandoned and forgotten as the memory of Pompeii became nothing but a legend passed throughout generations by word of mouth. Despite the fact that the ancient objects from Pompeii were discovered sporadically, the city itself was not found until the 18th century. Ever since, excavations have gone deeper into the city’s mysterious secrets. Archaeological finds reveal how people lived during that time, as well as how they died during the…
The volcanic eruption is one of the most common natural disasters around the world along history. The volcanic eruption is highly dangerous while costing many loss of lives and financial costs. Many volcanic eruptions seem so similar yet different; there are different levels of damages. There are two similar volcanic eruptions in history, which were both similar but different: the Mt. Pelee eruption in 1902 and Mt. St. Helens eruption in 1980. And through comparing the two eruptions, the relationship between the damage and size of eruption will be demonstrated.…

Most countries have an army to protect their countries values and citizens, but not all countries run their military the same way. Between ancient Greece and Rome, there were many similarities and differences between the two armies. Ancient Greece and Rome both had wars that contained similar and different tactics including: the weapons/objects brought to the fight, along with the formation of the soldiers fighting in battle, and how the outcome of the wars affected their civilization after the war had come to a conclusion. Every society brings their own individual items to the table when preparing for battle, just like ancient Greece and Rome brought similar things to their own independent battles. When Greek troops were sent to battle, they brought shields and spears,…
In one unfortunate day, the city of Pompeii witnessed the wrath of the X mountain when a volcano erupted burying the city and its citizens under thousands of tons of volcanic ashes. The story that I would like to talk about today is about a village that faced the same tragic fate as Pompeii. It is one of the most important historical discoveries…
A Philosophical Stand-Off The pre-Socratic philosophers were among the first to lay the foundation upon which our current beliefs and philosophies were built upon. These philosophers of ancient Greece were some of the very first scholars to apply logic to the universe and attempt to rationalise the world around them. Just the thought that these individuals had such a colossal ability to infer, with regard to the era they presided in and the resources accessible to them, is simply remarkable. Their resolve to make sense of their chaotic world created the pathway toward present time scientific deduction and inferences. And it is for these very feats, are these philosophers are remembered from throughout time.…
This was the plinian stage in which no lava flows actually occurred. This is how it is known that the people of Pompeii were not killed due to extreme temperature in lava, but rather suffocated by ash. Mount Vesuvius had killed 2,000 people alone in Pompeii, but the death toll of Herculaneum was never totaled. Bodies in the cities surrounding the large mountain were what they consider to be “frozen in time.” A mold composed of pumice and ash fell around these bodies and hardened, preserving the shape of the body.…
Sophocles’ Medea and Euripides’ Oedipus are both horribly tragic characters. They are similar characters in that they worsen their situations through pride, duty, and rage. However, they also vary drastically in terms of morality, fate, and sophistication. Sophocles’ Medea and Euripides’ Oedipus clearly define two opposing sides of Greek tragedy. First, Medea and Oedipus similarly elevate the severity of their predicaments through pride.…
