much different from the Odyssey, as they are feared by the Chorus and everyone else. But the Gods are very much respected. Since they have power and can punish people. Just like Artemis asked Agamemnon to sacrifice his daughter before he can sail to Troy. Zeus is still praised as the king of the gods. They are basically there to keep everyone in line; like a judge. The Gods tend to torment humans who commit crime and are very vengeful. 2. One of the acts of violence in the play was when…

lucky enough to know where I was going to school but was really confused on what to do when I actually made it to my dream school. My first semester at Troy University taught me just as many lessons as I learned in all of my years as a high school student from working hard, investing in yourself, and truly cherishing these upcoming years at Troy University. My first semester was a year of firsts, from living in a new area, new home, and experiencing my first week of finals. There were moments…

“Where are you from?” For most people, answering this question is very simple. For me, this is the hardest question to answer, which I had to answer differently every time. Born and raised in Korea and living in the United States for several years, I always thought that I belong to both countries; however, the trip to Korea last summer guided me to answer my ridiculously hard question and learn about myself. It was a humid day of mid-July when my family and I rushed through a crowd of busy…

reserved tickets to the movie, Fences, which I had vaguely heard of. I knew Denzel Washington starred in it, but nothing more. To be honest, I struggled with this movie. I struggled with some of the language and I struggled to like Denzel’s character, Troy. Now, I battle getting the movie out of my mind. I can’t stop thinking about the fence. Troy’s wife, Rose, wanted a fence built around their little property and throughout the movie, work is done to build it. But my aha moment came when…

Man(2008,2010,2013). Both of these heroes put their life on the line to help others, and they both have to face personal challenges that changes both of their lives tremendously. On the day his son was born Odysseus embarked on a journey to the Land of Troy. Not knowing that the second he steps foot…

history. One of the most famous allusions to Roman mythology can be found when Cassius compares himself to Aeneas, a hero of ancient Rome who was present at the fall of Troy. After the victory of the Greeks, Aeneas escaped the razed city with his father Anchises on his back. Many Romans believed that the emperor and nobles of Troy were descended from Aeneas, as the half-human son of Aphrodite was said to be the founder of Rome. While Cassius is trying to convince Brutus of Julius Caesar’s…

their education to a high school level. In Writing About Writing we are given a clear example of two children who received an education and used that knowledge to escape all worldly issues and display their thoughts and intelligence through writing. Troy an African American seventeen-year old boy chooses to express his creativity through rap music and Keisha a fifteen-year old African American girl who communicates her creativity through poetry, rap music and plays.

the immortal gods, that loved war, and did not believe that they would be defeated. The heroes in the Iliad are fighting over Helen, the wife of the Menelaus king. After Helen had been promised to the prince of troy by Aphrodite; Paris, the Prince of Troy, had taken Helen away to Troy. Angered, her husband had begun gathering an army to bring her back to him with the help of this dear brother. Successfully, Menelaus had gathered enough Greeks to support him in the war against the Trojans.…

Aphrodite. My personal intake on the Iliad was that those two goddesses were the most important and most talked about. First I will talk about the role of Helen in the book. Helen's story is very famous as her story was the one that caused the war of Troy. However, some people believe in very different outcomes. One being that she was stolen by Paris away from her home with Menelaus her husband. And some say that she was in love with Paris and she willingly ran away with him. Nonetheless the…
