Venus Vs. Venus Of Willendorf

Decent Essays
I have some concerns about this comparison. It is not as tight as I like them to be. What I mean is you are comparing apples to apples. So comparing a goddess to another goddess or a queen to another queen. You don't really have that here. You might be able to come up with a central theme that connects these two. Can you send me 3 or 4 comparison points? I just want to make sure you have strong points before approving this and then you end up running into issues later when it will be harder to change your topics.

Don't connect the Venus of Willendorf at all with the goddess Venus. The idea of Venus does not come about for another 20,000 years. The original artist would not have called her this. This is her Modern name. Also, the Greeks did

    The two sculptures, “Venus of Willendorf” and the Minoan snake goddess, are both similar and different in many aspects. They are both showing their breasts, which is considered to be a symbol of fertility. “Venus of Willendorf” is smaller than the Minoan snake goddess by about 10 inches because it was made to carry around, but the snake goddess wasn’t.

They both begin the start of women depicted in art and fertility figures.…

    William Shakespeare’s Venus and Adonis (1593) and Christopher Marlowe’s Hero and Leander (1958) are seminal poems of the epyllion genre (Carter 136). According to Robert A. Logan, the epyllion—or little epic (Keach xvii)—“can be loosely defined as an Ovidian narrative poem about mythological and human figures in situations of frustrated love, usually unrequited or unfulfilled” (58). Though they were often perceived as “trite” and titillating entertainment, written “with undisguised artifice, prolixity, and ostentation” (58), the epyllia also “legitimated an erotic discourse by presenting erotic material in a framework of humanist education and literary skill” (Carter 136). Essentially, these poems functioned in Renaissance society as provocative,…
