Greek words for love

fascinated by Greek gods and Roman gods. There are a few similarities between Greek and Roman gods like they are both myths and they are represented by a symbol. There are also many differences between like their names and their forms on earth. Names are unique, and the way people came up with the names was a huge surprise to me. I was imagining some big, extravagant way of how the names connected with the gods or goddesses. That idea however, was shot down immediately. The names for the…

relationship, however, v. 29 reduces its importance. The author continues to reference ‘the mystery’ in v. 32. Some scholars interpret this mystery to be the link in the Christ-Church relationship. According to Ephesians, marriage should be rooted in love and respect for one another and any other type of marriage would not live up to the standards of Ephesians. The author of Ephesians uses the institution of Christian marriage to demonstrate an “unbreakable order that the pagan world could…

explained about some of the important incidents happened in the Trojan War. Although there are several characters in this book, the main characters are Achilles (a great Greek hero), Patroklos (Achilles’ best friend), Hektor (a great Trojan hero), Priam (Hektor’s Father and the King of Troy), and Agamemnon (the Commander of the united Greek armed forces in the Trojan War). The end of the Trojan War and Achilles is clearly described by the author in this book. Achilles became undefeatable after…

The Greece way of life have greatly impacted the Western World. Greek have influence our lives in several ways such as law, literature, Philosophy, sculptures and architecture.

Many great women writers during the early thirteenth century were oppressed from expressing their thoughts through writings and by word. Now, only small portions of their works remain to this day. Greek and Roman women writers both met and challenged social expectations. One such author is the Roman women writer, Hortensia. The Greek and Roman writers met many of the social expectations of the time. Hrotsvit wrote about the battle between the good of Christ and the evil of Satan. Many of the…

By writing this paper, I will illustrate the parallels between the famous Rockefeller family—specifically J.D. Rockefeller Jr.—and the mythic figure Prometheus of Greek mythology. I will also divulge on the parallels between both of their philanthropic actions for humanity, (although the Rockefellers have made more contributions to humans in New York City). For the conclusion, I will propose that Prometheus has been—and most likely will be—the most engaging model of philanthropy, which the…

society. The idea of community is an essential aspect of Greek society consequently being a man meant full participation in civic life including the religious aspects of sacrifice and processions. In private, men were head of the household and concerned with reproducing sons and Theseus represents the ideal Greek male. Euripides demonstrates how Hippolytus’s actions and behaviours cause him to fail in these duties and that he actually threatens Greek society. Hippolytus is living outside of the…

modern theatre has its basis in Greek and Roman theatre. Items such as cranes and rotating panels were created as early as the 4th century BCE in…

statue was placed close to Michelangelo’s David and Donatello’s Judith and Holofernes in the Piazza Della Signoria. Cellini’s contributions to the modern world include the story of how the Perseus statue came to be, the tale of Perseus himself, and the Greek themes of fate and destiny. The overdramatic and exaggerated description of how the Perseus statue came to be is an interesting one. While preparing his chisels, a steel splinter flew into Cellini’s eye. A surgeon relieved him of the…

background. The way the greeks think the world was created is so different from the bible. What really threw me off was the way Love made its debut on the earth by hatching from an egg and when it hatched it created light which became known as day. On page 77 it says “Forth sprang Love, the longed-for, shining, with wings of gold”(Hamilton). This particular line makes me believe that Love is just a bird who hatched from its egg which represents the first sign of life on earth.The greeks believed…
