Hedona Is The Goddess Of Time

Improved Essays
Long ago, there once lived a beautiful gold-haired goddess named Hedona. Hedona was the youngest daughter of Odeus, the God of Oppression and Ielia, the Goddess of Hope. She was sister to Dytos and Eta. Dytos was the God of Logic, while Eta was the Goddess of Secrecy. Hedona was the Goddess of Time and was able to control the past, present, and the future. She could freeze or fast-forward time if she wanted to, but she had to be aware of the consequences of her own actions, as well as the actions of other people whenever she traveled through time. The symbols that represent Hedona’s powers are the hourglass, stopwatch, and the clock.
Before Hedona was born, her father, Odeus had forced Ielia to marry him, giving her life of misery. But being

Hedona was an intelligent and confident. Although she has many strengths in her personality, she also had some flaws. At times, Hedona could be irrational, making choices without thinking before acting. She was also moody, alternating between being elated and livid. Sometimes, Hedona was cordial towards the other gods and goddess, but there were instances where she would fight and argue with them as well. On one occasion, she and her sister, Eta, were having a disagreement about whose power was greater. In order to settle their little quarrel, they decided to ask their brother, Dytos who had the greater power. Being the God of Logic, Dytos knew that if he chose between the two that nothing good would come from it. Instead, he said that the both of them had a greater power. Because that wasn’t the answer that she wanted, Hedona came to the resolution that she was going to prove that she had the better capability. And she was going to do this by going fifty years into the future. Dytos tried to explain to Hedona that she shouldn’t play with time because the outcome could be severe. Being ignorant about her powers, Hedona stepped into the longcase clock and closed the door behind her after changing into a …show more content…
He said that the whole conflict was about two kings wanting to have power over a piece of land. The first king’s name was King Zodar from Patras, while the second king’s name was Aarus from her home city, Athens, which was where the current war was happening. When Hedona heard that the city that she lived in her whole life was being destroyed by a petty war, she decided that she would try and prevent the war from occurring. Before she left the future, Hedona wanted to walk around and see what was left of her beloved city. As she roamed about Athens, Hedona saw pain, hunger, and suffering. At this moment, Hedona wished that she had listened to her brother, Dytos, who suggested that she shouldn’t use her powers whenever she felt like it. She took it personal witnessing her home fall apart. After seeing all the things that she didn’t want to see, Hedona walked off to somewhere where there wasn’t anybody around and held her stopwatch necklace in her hand. Slowly, she pulled the hands of the clock backwards and arrived back in her longcase clock. Melancholy, Hedona stepped out of the clock and contemplated about what she should do about what she just saw. Hedona chose to go to sleep, while thinking about a

    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.…

    In Hippolytus, free will is best defined as the power to choose your own course of action. Euripides explores a portion of human autonomy where we “know what’s good and recognize it”(Euripides 2001: 380) yet struggle to “accomplish it”(Euripides 2001: 381). That is to say, a struggle between different courses of action takes place and leads to a conflicted free will. Therefore, Euripides’ quotes can help shape the argument that free will, while strained by the actions of a god, is still functional. This paper will focus on how the motifs of arrogance and internal conflict establish an explanation for where responsibility for an action lies.…
