killed?” The man shook his head. Zoe removed her hand. Zoe led the man away from Ladon ever so quietly, and when they were far enough away Zoe asked him, “What are you doing here? Do you want my father to catch you? I can tell you are a demigod. He does not like demigods, and he will kill you if Ladon does not first.” The man laughed softly. “I am Hercules! I have bested a thousand beasts. Surely a dragon would not be harder than a Chimera, or a Hydra?” Zoe shook her head. “You are foolish. I…

Percy was real, and I know that I am supposed to look at him as a hero. That's why Chiron states but he will never understand. He personally knew Percy. He was at the field during the second titan war. But I wasn't. To me, Percy and all the other demigods were just a cliche myth like Theseus and Perseus. Half blood that saves the world, or saves someone, and improves the future generation to come. I would never say this out loud but taking out problems on the future generations simply takes out…

animated movie Moana in 2016. It is a Fantasy/Adventure movie that was adored by the many that gazed at it. As someone who adores animated movies, the enjoyment I had was baffling. Moana explores a young girl's dream to adventure, which was bashed by a demigod who ruined humanity. This movie mixes the art of adventure and the art of war as the young girl tries to restore humanity itself. This leads to the theme of stick to what you believe in no matter what others tell you. Moana represents that…

the underworld. The underworld demigods constituted different categories. Some were clearly portrayed as frightening instruments of punishment like knives for the damned; many were not inimical and may often be classed as minor guardian deities such as the keepers of the various gates of the underworld. Some were creatures specially tasked with the protection of the king or the deceased in the journey through the Netherworld such as knife-holders. The underworld demigods took many forms such as…

First, the primary accusation was brought by Meletus that Socrates did not believe in the God of Athens, which means as well that he is being accused of atheism. Meletus call that Socrates “did not believe in the gods of the city and doesn’t believe in other gods”. By Meletus claiming this of Socrates, at the same time he is accusing him for not believing in any God. Therefore, here we identify a contradiction within his accusation, as we see Socrates cannot at the same moment be an atheism and…

A hydria was a pot used for carrying water, with a handle on each side and one handle on the back. This hydria is 19 inches tall with the flat shoulder typical of the 6th century BCE. The pot was sculpted from terracotta and then black figure painted. Black figure painting is a type of pottery painting that uses black as the primary color, and red and white to accent certain aspects of the scene. Gloss was applied to the desired areas before firing the pottery, and a lack of oxygen causes…

it became popular and was created into a movie. However, the movie and the book share an abundance of differences, but there are also aspects that the movie and the book share. Percy, a demigod, finds out that his father is Poseidon, god of the sea, and he has to leave his home in Manhattan and go to a demigod camp where he is safe from monsters attacking him. In the book he is 12 years old, meanwhile in the movie he is 16 years old. This messes with the prophecy in the book because the oracle…
