Medusa

When he finally found Medusa and her sister’s who were asleep at the time he entered. He wore the helmet of invisibility being careful not to wake them. He chopped Medusa’s head off with the sickle (sword) and used the shield to carry her head to the bag where it could safely…

When Zeus ruled the land, and Poseidon controlled the sea, and Hades lived in the underworld, there was a brave hero, the first hero. An Oracle of Delphi told Acrisius that one day, his grandson would put an end to the King of Argos. Knowing this, he locked her daughter, Danae, in a chamber to hide her from all men. However, the great god Zeus had found her and had fallen in love. With the power to do anything, the great Zeus had turned into golden rain to seduce her. Soon, she would give birth…

hero stands out Perseus. Perseus had to build up his courage and one way he did it was by standing up to his king Polydectes “He had nothing he could give...Declared that he would give him a present better than any there. He would go off and kill Medusa...(Hamilton pg.200)”. He was very young, foolish, and with that statement he fell into King Polydectes trap. The king wanted Perseus gone because he wanted to marry his mother, but he couldn't do so cause…

Perseus and Heracles are both boys and they could be considered Greek heroes. Perseus and Heracles are half-brothers and Zeus if their father. Both of them are the protagonists in their stories. Perseus defeats Medusa and Heracles does 12 labors assigned to him by Eurystheus. Perseus and Heracles may both be considered Greek heroes, but they led completely different lives. Perseus and Heracles were very different people at times. One example of a difference between them is Perseus…

the present tense is maintained in this line, as it is in the rest of the poem. Your choice of Poseidon and Medusa as the two main “characters” of the poem struck me as unique, and I wondered how you would develop a relationship between the two. However, my fears were quickly alleviated by your stunning language and beautiful imagery. I especially enjoyed the third stanza where Medusa-typified as a destroyer-was putting back together the bodies that Poseidon had destroyed, as well as piecing…

and his stories have fascinated storytellers and scholars alike for centuries. This mythical man is a hero, born of a god and a mortal and he is credited with many brave and daring acts. Throughout his life, Perseus had an eventful infancy, killed Medusa, slayed a sea monster for his true love, and fulfilled a prophecy. Right from his birth, it was clear Perseus was destined for great things. An oracle told his grandfather, Acrisius, that he would be killed by his daughter’s child. Terrified…

The question of a student’s expression of religion either by prayer or an assignment in a public school classroom creates a labyrinth of debate. Addressing this issue is like entering into Pandora’s Box, only to find Medusa there. The question is whose God or gods will help us resolve the dilemma of personal rights verses offenses. Will it perhaps be Zeus, Athena, or Perseus? Oh have I already offended someone? Could limiting my discussion to only the Greek god and goddesss cause a prolific…

in an upper-class Victorian society. I will explore the ways that the author, Robert Louis Stevenson, presents different types of power and its effect over man. I will compare this text to themes of power in poems such as Medusa, My Last Duchess and Hitcher. The first poem Medusa by Carol Ann Duffy shows the cause an outburst of range as anger has power over any sense of morality that that person may have. Hitcher by Simon Armitage depicts the dual nature that is within everyman and how…

Velellas, a genus of cnidarians, are more on the odd looking side. These common jellyfish- like creatures are found on the North American West Coast. Though they don’t have a traditional “medusa” or “polyp” looking form, their body shapes are more of a flat, disk- like colony of specialized personal polyps and are about 6- 7cm in diameter.. They generally live in warm to warm- temperate waters and oceans and live off shore. Due to them mostly floating above water, they have a vibrant blue color…
