Ancient sources vary as to the parentage of Hecuba.[2] According to Homer, Hecuba was the daughter of King Dymas of Phrygia,[3] but Euripides[4] and Virgil[5] write of her as the daughter of the Thracian king Cisseus. The mythographers Pseudo-Apollodorus and Hyginus leave open the question which of the two was her father, with Pseudo-Apollodorus adding a third alternate option: Hecuba's parents could as well be the river god Sangarius and Metope.[6][7] Some versions from non-extant works are…

The Martian Chronicles exhibits that the unknown can be a downfall to both those who are unknown and those who discover them. Throughout the stories explorers from Earth meet and cause destruction to the Martians. Bradbury examines why this happens and Americans response. Bradbury uses the faults of the explorers from Earth to demonstrate the faults in American culture. For instance the way that Americans attempt to force elements of their society onto other cultures and how they are so self…

Hinduism and Zoroastrianism emerged from the Silk Road and would continue to develop throughout history. The role of sacrifice greatly impacted such development amongst these two religions. However, over time sacrifice would cease to exist for the most part. In conducting research, my focus is spent by tracing the origins of sacrifice as well as these two religions from the Silk Road and ancient civilizations/cultures; the application and role of sacrifice in both Hinduism and Zoroastrianism; as…

I gathered my satchel, umbrella and notepad to start my exploration of Oahu's Byodo-In Temple. I shoved a crumpled green wad of paper at a man sitting in a small booth near the entrance. He took my money and gave me a half-smile. I found my way to the bridge that crossed a small creek of muddy, water that was swelling from the many days of rain we had in the past few days. While partially crossing the bridge, I stopped mid-stroll in amazement of the grand structure that was beore me. All of the…

Hercules was one of the greatest heroes in greek mythology. Hercules was both the most famous hero of ancient times and the most beloved. More stories were told about him than any other hero. Hercules was worshipped in many temples all over Greece and Rome. He was the son of zeus and Alkmene, however, Amphitryon was his mortal father. This is because Alkmene is married to Amphitryon and they raised Hercules together. Hera is married to Zeus. Since Zeus fools around with many women, and the…

Rock Music initially started out in the 1950s, with its first recorded song being Elvis’ Cover of ‘That’s All Right, Mama’, recorded and released in 1954. Prime examples of the early rock era are songs like ‘Rock Around the Clock’ by Bill Haley And the Comets, ‘Johnny B. Goode’ by Chuck Berry, and ‘Jailhouse Rock’ by Elvis Presley. Back then, rock and roll was so simple, that all you needed was an electric guitar, drums, a bass, and most importantly, a good voice. It wasn’t until the early…

reputedly founded by the Greek hero and named after him. The cult of Hercules was one of the earliest known at Pompeii, where he was worshipped along with Athena in the Doric Temple. Both deities are represented on fourth-century BC terracotta antefixes from the so-called ‘Triangular Forum’ (actually a sanctuary), whose Doric Temple may have honoured him alongside Athena (Carafa 2011: 95, Figure 5). At Herculaneum, the hero featured in sizeable wall paintings…

where he was King and could have anything that he wanted. King David like the dogs was in a place where he could not get out of unless someone got him out. He could not see that he too was across the lake and needed to get to the other side but did not know how to just jump over into the safety zone. The dogs were being shocked with an electrical…
