one another with similar roles. From Thor to Jupiter to Odin to Hephaestus, the gods in the pantheons. The “trickster” archetype is common throughout both even though it has a more obvious presence in the Norse Pantheon. The honorable warrior and thunder lord archetypes are almost explicitly the same since honorable warriors were at the height of both societies. The main goddesses in both are also extremely similar in their status as queens and their sovereignty over love and intimacy. Although…

Zeus, in the vengeance of Athena, started to send a deadly storm with thunder that shook the land like an earthquake and a crack of thunder that sounded like a mighty lions roar. As Athena flew to the skies for safety, a loud, booming screech came from the outer shore of the dark wine sea. Suddenly, quick as lighting strikes a terrifying, enormous, nine…

In this poem, William Wordsworth expresses the beauty he sees in nature and shows the love he has for his daughter. In the octave, the writer describes the evening as he walks along a shoreline. To him, the evening is a time of calmness, allowing one to delve into their own spirituality, an opportunity to become closer to God. His mention of a nun automatically signifies purity and religiosity, leading to divinity. He is awed by the magnitude of nature, hence the praise. The descriptions are…

Kayaking in Lake Tahoe With just me and my thoughts, I launched my heavy orange kayak from Sand Harbors’ fine powder like sand beach and hopped in. My jet black oars churned through the waters of Lake Tahoe with smooth grace. The roasting sun was alone in the sky with no clouds keeping her company. The freezing cold waters were a bright blue jewel. Its endless murky depths looming below, with mysteries filling its soul. Grey rock formations with boulders in every shape and size loomed above.

the first four books of Homer’s Odyssey, this is quite evident. Zeus explicitly says, “From us alone, [the mortals] say, come all their miseries” (1.38). Because the gods control nearly every aspect of life, from the sea, to love, to the sky and thunder, the mortal characters of The Odyssey constantly blame the gods. Centuries ago, with the absence of scientific justifications for natural events, people had no other justification besides the gods. As seen in The Odyssey, this leads to mortals…
