While at Olympia, Percy, Leo, Hazel, and Frank are forced to be part of the deadly Olympic Games of Nike, whom they are able to capture. She tells them that one of them is fated to die; they need the…

few giant rats. Not to mention we found out that they have been experimented on- and mindcontrolled- by the evil brain. A literal brain. "Well, technically this is your fault, because you were the one that suggested we confront slimey over there." Artemis speaks out, her back and Kaldur's pressed up against each others and mine, forming a triangle of vision. "So, you have to find a way to get us out." "Unless calling Dr Phil or Oprah is a viable option, I'm fresh out of miracles. What about…

Based on polytheistic religion, the ancient greeks believed in 13 gods. Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Dionysus, Ares, Athena, Hermes, and Hephaestus. I’m going to describe the gods/goddesses, their powers, symbols, one myth about them, and their relationship with other greek gods/goddesses. Let’s hop into it. First and foremost, i’m going to talk about Zeus. Zeus is the king of the gods or ruler of mount olympus and the most powerful of the gods. His power is…

woman like the god she was but she stooped low and lashed out negatively. Another example is when Apollo killed Orion because he thought his sister Artemis would break her vow to remain a virgin. The reason Apollo had this idea is that Artemis and Orion spent all of their time together and became very close. Apollo was furious so he tricked Artemis into killing Orion. This relates to my thesis because although Apollo is a god, one would expect him to make a smarter decision. Instead, he let his…

have granted [Taeseus] curses [he] may rely on…” and that he wishes the death of his own son (885). Taeseus’ mistake reflects people’s incapability of knowing what is true, and that is juxtaposed by the power of the gods in this Greek play. When Artemis comes down to tell Taeseus what really happened during his absence, she states that Poseidon granted his wish but looked down upon him from waiting to hear from a prophet and without giving his son a trial (1320). Unlike humans, Greek gods and…

saw her in pool of blood. "Shiera!!!" I yelled but she didn't move. We had no phone as it had cost too much and we hadn't needed it. I rushed to her side knowing that I was helpless to save her. And I was just in time for her to say "Her name is Artemis." And then Shiera was gone, just like that. The one person I…

tragic character who is a passive victim in Phaedra compared to his characterization in Hippolytus. There are still many notable differences between Phaedra and Hippolytus, beyond characterization and the presence, or lack thereof, of the goddesses Artemis and Aphrodite. The deaths of Hippolytus and Phaedra are inversed in Seneca’s play, allowing the confrontation between her and Theseus possible towards the end. Another considerable distinction is the tone the ending of the plays…

A quality that may be deemed as part of his intelligence, his cunningness, is brought to the spotlight in Book VI when he lands on the shores of Scheria and comes across Alcinous’ daughter, Nausicaa. By comparing Nausicaa to the powerful goddess Artemis, and going as far as suggesting that she is married, Odysseus is shown to be the mastermind of the spoken word. He uses his brilliant and cunning mind to assess situations and create strategies to get…
