1. PLOT When bringing up the matter about Odysseus, Athena tells Zeus about his problem and how she wants to help him since he’s stranded on Calypso’s island. The reader may notice that Athena uses an emotional appeal when telling about Odysseus and how her “‘heart breaks for Odysseus’”(1.57). Athena emphasizes how much Odysseus wants to go home and states that he “‘longs to die’”(1.71). This creates sympathy towards the audience and Zeus which proceeds to planning Odysseus’ journey home. 2.…

Uranus the primal Greek god personifying the sky. His equivalent in Roman mythology was Caelus. In Ancient Greek literature, Uranus or Father Sky was the son and husband of Gaia, Mother Earth. According to Hesiod's Theogony, Uranus was conceived by Gaia alone, but other sources cite Aether as his father. Uranus and Gaia were the parents of the first generation of Titans, and the ancestors of most of the Greek gods, but no cult addressed directly to Uranus survived into Classical times, and…

The trojans throughout the book are often hated by the gods. The piety shown from the trojans determine if the gods are willing to help them or not.

Cassiopeia who had a daughter, Andromeda, the princess of Ethiopia. The queen, how ever was quite a boastful woman and would often brag, foolishly, that she was more beautiful than the queen of the gods and Nereids, Juno.

During the Renaissance period of the 14th to 17th century, art and architecture between Northern Europe and Italy were both similar and different in many ways.

I will be analyzing the stories of Callisto, Actaeon, and Pentheus in regards to Dionysus and Artemis. All three of the first characters go through serious transformations that are very significant for my essay. These transformations in Ovid’s Metamorphoses are really determined by the naive nature of each of these three characters and this really is the fuel for Dionysus and Artemis to keep their godly roles in the stories. Callisto and Actaeon from Ovid and Pentheus from the Bacchae both…
