Apollo Creed

Methodists are ecumenical and willing to work with and learn from Christians of other denominations. They believe in bringing their…

After the first ecumenical council, during the life of Emperor Constantine, the findings of the first ecumenical council were maintained and the Creed of Nicaea Prevailed.

I can agree with the Nicene Creed because I believe that the aspects of it is completely true. God made everything from nothing and the bible…

In Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey, the two sides, immortal and mortal, place blame on one another for the chaos that unfolds on earth. Human nature entails acting on impulse to serve personal agendas, the gods of Olympus are not exempt from its effect and may be major parts of its existence. Homer depicts the gods as divinities that are similar to humans in that they indulge in the same practices, are subject to the abstract beings of Greek mythology, and are in constant interaction with each…

Another famous myth portraying homosexual relations is the myth of Apollo and Hyacinth. In this myth, we appreciate a consensual relation between the god and the mortal, who at his death is transformed into the hyacinth flower by the god. If we compare Apollo’s relation with Hyacinth and Daphne, we are able to see that even though the male lover died, Apollo himself transformed him in order to honor their relationship. In contrast, Apollo also venerated Daphne by wearing a laurel crown, but she…
