Work Of Art True Love
948 words
Love is not a god as the fine philosophers of
Greece once suggested. Love is something far more
powerful and universal, for not all people believe
in gods, yet people cannot refuse the existence of
love. Instead, love is a condition of the human
body that cannot be denied. True love is
obstinate; in the way that music pours into the
ears of an audience, love pouring into the heart

course. Love is a natural instinct. You cannot
artificially make love...

As defined by Funk and Wagnalls, Neoplatonism is a
type of idealistic monism in which the ultimate
reality of the universe is held to be an infinite,
unknowable, perfect One. From this one emanates
nous (pure intelligence), whence in turn is
derived the world soul, the creative activity of
which engenders the lesser souls of human beings.
The world soul is conceived as an image of the
nous, even as the nous is an image of the One;
both the nous and the world soul, despite their
differentiation, ...

Greek Religion Gods Festivals
887 words
In its simplest form Greek religion means the
worship of the Mount Olympian deities (gods or
goddess) whose king Zeus resided among the peaks
of Mount Olympus. Each deity had several different
attributes. Thus Apollo was the god of light and
music; Athena was the goddess of wisdom and war,
and also patroness of Athens. The reality of Greek
religion was, however, more complicated, since
many other deities also existed, many of whom
became identified with the Olympians. Greek
