Andromeda

Some heroes, such as Perseus, “live happily ever after” (Hamilton 206-207), like he did with Andromeda, but for others, love is the most difficult trial of all. Atalanta’s romance is tragic for her, as “She declare[s] that she would marry whoever could beat her in a foot race, knowing well that there was no such man alive” (Hamilton 249), at least…

My individual attitude is that the Roman Catholic Church has impacted our society in many different aspects. Throughout the era of Western Civilization until 2016, education, politics and art have remained imperative. Without the knowledge and creativeness of our prehistoric Roman Emperors, and Popes the Catholic Church would cease to exist today. The Roman Catholic Church is a contribution to the study of Science. For instance; Father Giambattista was the first person to document the rate of…

such as Perseus, there is a negative, downside of that heroic feeling that comes through. This also explains why Perseus has to experience trials in his life, such as the loss of his dad, in order to appreciate the good times with his family and Andromeda (Boeree para. 52). We can also see the effects of the wise old man archetype in our views of elderly people. As the name of this archetype indicates, we often think of our parents or grandparents as wise and more experienced than us, often…

As a medium, Video Games give us the opportunity to explore new and exciting worlds and live out childhood fantasies of heroism and adventure. However, many of us don’t know anything about the development of these experiences and the amazing people behind these amazing games. When one looks at video game development in japan, one thing that always stands out is the quirky director who is generally the public face of the project. Individuals such as Hideo Kojima (the creator of the Metal Gear),…

cloud found in the night sky. In 1919, Edwin Hubble, an astronomer found the answers. Hubble used his 100-inch mirror and stood on top of Mount Wilson in California. He used the telescope's light gathering power to take images of the great nebula in Andromeda. We are here to discover more about galaxies, what they are, and what they do. It is very mind blowing…

1. Describe the Milky Way. What does it contain? The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy, which looks like a pinwheel. At times, people can look up to the sky and see the faint band of light, the glow of stars in the galaxy’s disk, which gave the Milky Way its name. The galaxy is of an average size, 100,000 light-years across and 1,000 light-years deep. It contains about 500 billion stars and many planets. The center of the galaxy contains a supermassive black hole, which is the cause of our…

constellation consisting of eighteen stars is a representation of the scorpion that stung and killed Orion, a giant Huntsman placed among stars- and the horses of Phaeton (Merriam-Webster's 1445). Other constellations named after Greek myths include Andromeda, Cassiope, Hercules, and Gemini. All planets including Earth have been named after Roman version of Greek mythological elements. Titanium was named after the Titans who were locked underground hence representing the strenuous affair of…

What one can discern by this evidence is that curses were highly formulaic and that even the curse-tablets were probably accompanied by oral prayers, incantations and invocations, thus they were rooted into the oral tradition. They were also caught into a complex intertextual web (epic discourse, prayer, iambus) when they were incorporated into archaic Greek literature. On the other hand, the practicing of cursing (either in poetry or in real-life) seems to be common even during the archaic age,…

justice coming her way, Ovid creates a bridge for us to be able to emphasize with Medusa, feeling sorry for her, and at the same time, diminishing Perseus’ accomplishment of slaying her. The knight in shining armor in reference to his saving of Andromeda, gets the bitter disappointment of rust over his achievement instead. Medusa’s image on shields, and buildings also point to the often overlooked aspect of protection she provides. Though it may be called dread when one sees Medusa’s face on…
