Accordingly, Demeter channels that self- punishment into anger and retribution towards Zeus which ultimately causes Zeus to reunite Persephone back with Demeter. In the case of Sappho, she inflicts self -punishment upon herself by rehashing the memories that she had with her lover exemplified by “you would let loose your longing and neither any [ ] nor any holy place nor was there from which we were absent” (94). By ruminating over the past, she causes herself pain because in the back of her mind she knows that she can never get those memories backs.

    The gods of Olympus play a large role of Greek religion, and is shown thoroughly in the epic poem and epic film. Although a similarity between the two versions is that the bright-eyed goddess Athena is in favour of Odysseus and through all her might aids him on his journey home, there is also a difference in these occurring scenes. In the poem written by Homer, Athena along with other great gods are often involving themselves with the lives of mortals, but only when in disguise. An example of this is set earlier in the poem; Athena wishes to urge depressed Prince Telemachus to search for his father, but she does so by disguising herself as an old friend named Mentes. This is in complete contrast in the film as Athena often reveals her true identity to Odysseus, although she has a choice in who can see her.…
