culture and stretches to the Greeks as even they have their own Eve. Unlike majority of biblical writers, Milton shows little restraint as he sublimely refers to Eve as the inferior. Due to the ingenuity of Milton’s mind and the intervention of divine figures, he was able to create his own alterations and additions to the Bible, the book of Genesis to be more specific. There are a few additions he made to Eve that stood out as noteworthy to me. For instance, the word that reoccurred many…

In Greek mythology customs and traditions can often times be represented well in Greek literature other time it can be misinterpreted. I am going to discuss how the Kyrios, mother, and the children can both be accurately portrayed or inaccurately simply depending on which myth you read. The two myths I chose to explore this concept further are Agamemnon, Menelaus, Nestor and Cercrops, Erichthonius, and Erechtheus. In these Greek myths, familial roles are portrayed in both effective and…

trades. Eros Son of Ares and Aphrodite, Eros was the god of love. Like Hermes, he was a very mischievous god. He often made others fall in love with the first person they see by striking them with an arrow. Some arrows had gold tips which inspired love, others had lead tips which invoked hatred. Eros is usually depicted as blindfolded carrying a bow and arrow signifying that love is blind. Eros is married to the mortal women turned Greek goddess, Psyche.…

The Bible is the word of God, but the Bible can only nourish us “if it is understood and personally appropriated as God’s own word” in the flesh (Preface 1). Jesus Christ, the word of God incarnate came down to earth so that we not only could receive salvation, but so that all people can have a relationship with Him. This straightforward approach starts the book off on the right foot, and I enjoy how direct he is in this foreword. While this short introduction is good, it certainly is not a…

(virtue). Moderation, to Aristotle, is the “happy medium” between virtue and vice. Therefore, he states that only true happiness can be obtained through the cultivation of the virtues that complete a human life. In The Prince, Machiavelli uses two words a great deal of times: “virtue and fortune.” Machiavelli actually rejects Aristotle’s virtues in moderation through his book, The Prince. Machiavelli explains, in a hard-nosed realist point of view, human nature. Essentially, he explains thats…

Ancient Greeks lives center on their gods, and their daily lives consist of trying to live as piously as possible. Piety is the core moral laws during this time. To live piously is to live in harmony with the gods. It is extremely important that they must please the gods, that to act any other ways, acting impiously, is illegal and will result in punishment. Socrates is one philosopher that lives during this time. Socrates would go about the city, questioning people about their beliefs and…

Duccio. From earlier readings, we know that Vasari enjoys when artists portray their ideas in their own way rather than how it is already being done. During Cimabue’s time, the Greeks as Vasari describes were painting things in a “rough and awkward” style that fell short of greatness. Vasari recognizes that Cimabue has the Greek style in him, but he greatly improves upon it, thus getting much praise from Vasari. Both artists, painted a Madonna yet Vasari only praises Cimabue for his portrayal…

Zeus the Greek god of the sky. There are different kinds of myths some can be about heroes, gods, or kings, and honesty a myth can be about anything, or anyone it just has to get popular, so people would retell it for generations. One very well known myth, is the story of the Greek god Zeus. Zeus it the god of the sky, and rules over Olympus. Zeus is usually seen with a lighting bolt, and that is probably why his symbol is the lightning bolt. Zeus is known for being the king of all greek gods.…

Throughout ancient and early Greece, many writers have demonstrated important Greek concepts in their writings. Many historians, poets, and philosophers, have illustrated concepts such as Paideia, Eros, Hamartia, Sophrosyne, and Arte within their work. Platos’, “The Allegory of the Cave,’ may seem dark at first; however, the story of the prisoners and their enlightenment is an example of paideia. Paideia is defined in ancient Greek as education and upbringing. The story Socrates describes a…
