Perseus

Besides being the Greek Goddess of Wisdom, Athena has done many things that would make her one of the greatest Gods of Olympus (with accounting for Zeus). First of all, Athena was the Patron of Athens, and bestowed the gift of the olive tree to the Athenians. This was decided as Poseidon (king of the ocean) was competing against Athena for the title of Patron, and the Athenians demanded a gift from the God/Goddess if they were chosen. Poseidon would give them a salt water spring (which was…

Have you ever wondered why the night sky in the winter may look different to you than the night sky in the summer or fall? This is because we see the constellations at different times of the year for the different seasons- spring, summer, fall, and winter. Since the Earth orbits the Sun we do not get one constant area of constellations. The constellations we see in the summer are not the same ones we see in the winter. We never see the same constellation all year long. Unless the constellation…

An example of such communities can be seen in the Ancient Greeks and Romans. Even though they lived thousands of years ago, they heavily influenced the modern world. During the golden ages of each of these…

McOsker 1 I love dogs. Their soft ears, big eyes, and loving personalities win me over. My family feels the same way, and in-kind, we have cared for 4 dogs since my parents got married: Odin, Odysseus, Perseus, and Loki. However, I wasn’t born yet when Odin died, and so I don’t have any recollection of him. That leaves three doggies I hold near and dear to my heart. They define my omne trium perfectum. They define me. As someone who spends every free second of her day playing with her dogs…
