and mythology. Religion is a set of practices based on the belief of non-human beings monitoring actions and myths are stories that matter within a specific community or communities. There are two kinds of religion, evolutionary and revealed. The Greeks had an evolutionary religion where the totality of things were feared by a social group and had no specific origin. Myth can be divided into three categories, the first being divine, which explains the stories about the gods and the creation of…

the Spartans and Greeks in the 300 In Greek mythology the 300 Spartans and Greeks have their epic battle against the Persians at Thermopylae or the “hot gate” and died heroically against a huge army. This made an incredible movie in the 21st century, but the epic itself is rooted in an even more incredible Greek history with characters with strong and powerful emotions and standpoints. This story portrays the incredible honor of the Spartan people and why they hold a place in Greek mythology.…

Greek myths tell the adventures of two epic heroes, Perseus, and Theseus. Edith Hamilton revisits these adventures, in her translation of the greek heros. Hamilton’s translation focuses on their heroic adventures and qualities that made them famous in Greek culture and literature. However, one hero stands out Perseus.

A recurring theme that can be seen throughout Book XXII of Homer’s The Illiad is the blatant portrayal of the Greek hero Achilles as the superior force in the conflict. His opponent, the Trojan hero Hector, acknowledges this fact throughout the piece. Hector’s parents too recognize this fact, as they beg him not to fight Achilles for they believe he will lose his life in the conflict. Achilles, who is as smug as he is powerful, consistently displays confidence in his abilities and disdain for…

“Greek myth is so much a part of the fabric of our consciousness, of our unconscious really, that we scarcely notice” (Foster, 1). When thinking the word myth, our minds automatically think of the distant Greek and Roman myths fabricated on the shores of the Mediterranean thousands of years ago.

The texts that I will be analyzing are, Tantalus by Homer, Prometheus by Hesiod, Sisyphus also by Homer, and Arachne by Ovid. All of these myths are from the Ancient Greek times. In…
