    ... ing, and he actively ignores many warnings that he shouldnt continue to pursue the murderer. Tieresias warns him, Jocasta warns him, and the old shepherd warns him, but he brashly ignores them all. It is not that he is a bad man; his motive is both self-less and selfish. He wants to save his city, but he also wants glory and vindication. He believes that he, one man, can be everything. Sophocles is pointing out that this isnt true. No king, no matter how hard he tries, can be a perfect ruler...

  • Religious And Mythological Themes From Titan A E
    636 words
    The idea that every science fiction film is inspired by a religious or mythological background holds true in the movie, Titan, A. E. These backgrounds include those involving the Chinese, Greeks and Egyptians. The first suggestion involving mythology is in the title of the movie itself.

I feel that Cale re...

They insisted that reality was not temporal and material but spiritual a...
