Werewolves girls and I Survived Outer space One day my friends and I were watching a movie. While we were watching the movie a space program interrupted our movie “Werewolves in space.” The space program caught LaMya eye because she is really into space things. Space james started talking about how living in space is a lot of work. LaMya said to Tamarea, when you are in space you must exercise and start your outer space eating habits 2 weeks before going into outer space. James said, hey guy…

Interpretive Paper 1 “Thou shall not kill” is a fundamental belief in today’s society, yet during times of war, breaking this commandment is not considered a sin. Instead it is a necessary action to properly serve and protect the country. However, when modern-day soldiers return from battle they generally do not discuss the details of the war to the public. Conversely, in the Iliad, as more people know about a hero’s war story, the more glory he attains. The Iliad’s depiction of war is complex.…

The Iliad gives very general examples of everyday sacrifices made to the gods, as well as specific times, such as the priest Chryses being rewarded for his loyalty to the god Apollo, and The Greeks’ sacrifice to Apollo to life the plague placed on them due to Chryses’…

Many ancient societies commonly practiced polytheism. However, the ideals and values associated with the gods diverged intently in the ancient world. This can be demonstrated by looking at ancient literary works such as: The Epic of Gilgamesh, The Iliad by Homer, and Laws by Plato. This controversy is significant because it demonstrates the changing nature of the deities with the ever changing human ideals. The Epic of Gilgamesh, originating around 2000 BCE, initiated the starting ground of the…

I attended the play “Three gods walk into a bar” at the Crowder College Theatre on Thursday, October 20th, 2016. I have not watched a play for at least 4 years and have to say it was one of the best plays I have ever been to in my life! The play has a great atmosphere where the emotion is constantly changing from comedy, to sadness, anger, anticipation, and then ending with acceptance for how things are and that you cannot necessarily change things. The humor was quite enjoyable in the play. I…

Our names, meanings, nicknames, and why we were named what we were, are just a few ways that shape are uniqueness. Originating from the Greek name Alexandros, Alexander signified "shielding…

Either way, what’s noteworthy is the giant painting on the ceiling of Trump’s penthouse of a wingless Apollo standing in his chariot ready to take his flight across the sky, much less a blonde Apollo being led by Aurora. Greek myth connects this with the morning star, Venus (or Lucifer), coming out of heaven. Is it reading too much into this to say that Trump perhaps sees himself as a kind of Apollo, Helios or Jupiter? Remember this quote from his second wife, Marla Maples? “He’s a king. I mean…

for instance Theoclymenus , a fact which implies that the μαντική τέχνη was genetically transmitted . Apart from that, as Flower and Sara Johnston support, a god could also choose an individual to teach them or offer them the gift of being a mantis. Apollo appears to offer the mantikē to Cassandra and Branchus, while Zeus, or Athena, gifted Tiresias, a famous Greek seer, with the skill of divination. Historical manteis seem to have connected the origins of their divination skills with that of…

In stories, such as The Iliad by Homer and The Life of Themistocles by Plutarch, two Greek characters were highly recognized as crucial to the Greek victories. In the Iliad, the character Odysseus took a great role in the victories that led to winning the long 10 years Trojan War. In the Life of Themistocles, Plutarch describes how Themistocles also played a large role in the Greek victory in defeating the Persians. These two leaders, in comparison, were both men of intellect. They often used…
