The Immortals

Beowulf : The Most Glorious Hero of all Time In the epic poem Beowulf, translated by Seamus Heaney, Beowulf completes many heroic and glorious actions allowing him to earn eternal life. The first indication of Beowulf achieving his goal of eternal life is through glory to one’s king. From achieving glory from one’s king, the kin of the clan will most likely begin to speak of this glory that was achieved ; thus, creating eternal life. For example, this can be seen when Hrothgar was…

Ea's deception. Ea instructs Adapa not to eat the food of the gods as it will cause him to die (ANET 74; Adapa 30). We soon learn the irony in Ea's instructions, as Anu reveals that the food will make Adapa immortal (ANET 74; Aqhat 60). Similarly, Aqhat is also given the opportunity to be immortal by Maiden Anath in exchange for his bow and arrow. Aqhat does not believe Maiden Anath. “Fib not to my, O Maiden; for to a youth thy fibbing is loathsome.” ( ANET 149-55; Aqhat 30). Here, as with…

At that time, HUAC suspected Pete and six more persons were communists. To Pete, it was one of the darkest moments in his career when his freedom, his career and all the safety were abused.

being can overcome death by God’s act in Jesus Christ. Based on this, Paul assumes that human beings are buried in one kind of body but raised in another kind, a “spiritual body” (89). For him, resurrection means to transform the entire self into an immortal being (89). Thirdly, the Revelation of John was…

A hydria was a pot used for carrying water, with a handle on each side and one handle on the back. This hydria is 19 inches tall with the flat shoulder typical of the 6th century BCE. The pot was sculpted from terracotta and then black figure painted. Black figure painting is a type of pottery painting that uses black as the primary color, and red and white to accent certain aspects of the scene. Gloss was applied to the desired areas before firing the pottery, and a lack of oxygen causes…

institution is corrupt, for he believes that one must suffer physically in order to satisfy God's consolations. Denying his students of spiritual refreshment, Mr. Brocklehurst views the bread and cheese as a gateway towards temptation, satisfying their “immortal souls” and “vile bodies” which he views as an act of sin. Utilizing the restriction of food as a method to higher his authority over these girls is what defines the dangers of the Evangelicalism movement. It is not only the the poor…

Olympus are immortal. To this day supposedly, Zeus and Hera are still up there ruling over the affairs of men, and they will always be up there; there is not an end. The Germans, however, believed differently about their gods. Although their gods are extremely long-lived, they are not immortal, one day they shall die like anyone else. On a day they called Ragnarok, the gods of Asgard will engage their…

Yahweh and Zeus interact with the environment differently. Finally, Yahweh interacts with Himself differently than Zeus does. Yahweh is three beings in one. He is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Zeus is just one being, an immortal man who roams the earth. Zeus is limited by the fact that he is a anthropomorphic being and is therefore can’t be in multiple places at the same time. By contrast, God is…
