  • Speaks To Achilleus Example Of Honor Warrior
    712 words
    The poem The Iliad written by Homer is the story of the tenth year of the Trojan War. It depicts the nobility and honor given to a slayer in warfare and the humanity that warriors show to the slain. It also illustrates the Greek code of ethics, that was in that time honor. Warriors fought for honor to insure a reputation that would outlive them. Honor is given to the great warriors through gifts, rank, and valor. Ultimately, a hero's honor depended not upon how he saw himself but on how the worl...

  • Supernatural Powers Ancient Greek
    1,177 words
    In the epic poem Odyssey, Homer delineates the homecoming of a great warrior and the hero of the epic Odysseus from the Trojan War. Though seemingly, it might sound like a male-dominated ancient myth, women pull the strings in the Odyssey, whether it may be Helen of Troy who inflicted upon the spears and arrows thirst for blood or may it be Circumspect Penelope who motivated Odysseus to come home. Also goddess Athene, nymph Kalypso and Circe, mortals Nausikaa and Klytaimestra serve as strings of...

  • How Ethical Are The Gods In Iliad
    1,759 words
    Ethics and morality are synonymous terms, both meaning customs in their original languages, Greek and Latin respectively. However, the Greek term ethics also implies character as opposed to its Latin counterpart referring to social customs. Ethics is descended from ethics which, in turn from ethos which means character or nature. Ethos is the fundamental and distinctive characteristic of a group within its social context or period of time, typically expressed in its attitudes, habits or beliefs....

  • Divine Causality Achelleus Gods
    384 words
    The Greek society was centered around the gods, their whims, quarrels, and inherent attributes. However, humans were not passive forces concerning their own destinies. Humans played just as much of a role in Fate as the gods did. This is evidenced in the idea of divine causality meaning that without the natural inclination of humans, gods cannot manipulate the future. An example of this can be found when Athene pulls the hair of Achelleus preventing a fight between him and Agamemnon. It is proba...

  • Fell In Love Greek Mythology
    1,249 words
    Mythology is filled with endless stories about warriors and gods, which tell tales of quarrels and battles that went on a long time ago. Greek Mythology is very interesting in that it is filled with tales of ironies and adultery, and many conflicts between the gods. But one god popped up in a lot of myths about adultery or murder or disputes with humans. His name was Poseidon. Poseidon stands tall as one of the most infamous gods in Greek mythology. He was a very bold god with quite a temper and...

  • First Four Home Life
    923 words
    The story of the Odyssey begins 20 years after Odysseus leaves his home, and his family. The setting is the family home in Ithaka, and our main character (at this point) is Telemachos, son of the great Odysseus. By beginning the story at this time and location rather than focusing straight in on Odysseus's intuition, the reader is given an "inside view" of Odysseus' home life, and from these first 4 books we are given much very valuable background information. One such piece of information is le...

  • Daughter Of Zeus Human Affairs
    1,862 words
    Significance and role of gods in the Homers Iliad One of the main features of the greek literature is that the gods play a significant role in the lives and fates of the mortal dwellers of the earth. As one examines the gods throughout the myths and epic poems of the Greeks, one recieves a strong impression that the gods "play" with and manipulate mortals and each other. The Christian God does not take such an active role in the affairs of people's lives, where, the Greeks regarded direct involv...

  • Lion Skinned Mortal Skinned Mortal Giants
    216 words
    The Giants Revolt Enraged because Zeus had confined their brothers, the Titans, in Tartarus, certain tall and terrible giants plotted an assault on Heaven. They had been born from Mother Earth at Thracian Phlegra, twenty-four in number. Without warning, they seized rocks and fire-brands and hurled them upwards from their mountain tops, so that the Olympians were hard pressed. Hera prophesied that the giants could never be killed by any god, but only by a single, lion-skinned mortal; and that eve...

    Final Paper: Drama of Ancient Greece The Greek dramatists have bequeathed immensely to the current mode of modern Western literature. Shakespeare and his contemporaries revered them for their distinct and explicit language, their dramatic scenes, and their extravagant processions. The language of their stories has connoted itself into both, the Western dialect and Western literature in general. The establishment of Ancient Greek culture that has left the most immutable impression on our current ...

  • Sexual Desire Trojan War
    2,706 words
    The goddesses have a major role in both epics as Helpers of men. They have varied reasons for this. One is a maternal instinct. This is displayed in the literal mother-son relationships of Aphrodite and Aeneas, Thetis and Achilles, and the protective instinct that Athene displays in Book 3 of the Iliad when Pandarus arrow shot an arrow at Menelaus and she took her stand in front and warded off the piercing dart, turning it just a little from the flesh, like a mother driving a fly away from her g...

  • One Of The First Apollo
    1,379 words
    Gods play an integral role in Homeric society. They are very active in the lives of humans, both in wartime and peacetime. People depend on the gods to help them fight wars, protect their loved ones, and just improve their everyday lives. Since they do play such a large role in the lives of humans, people often blame or credit gods for things they had no involvement in. This can lead to complicated dealings between gods and humans. The best way for humans to get what they want from the gods is t...

  • Father And Son Trojan War
    2,552 words
    In The Odyssey written by Homer and translated by Richard Lattimore, several themes are made evident, conceived by the nature of the time period, and customs of the Greek people. These molded and shaped the actual flow of events and outcomes of the poem. Beliefs of this characteristic were represented by the sheer reverence towards the gods and the humanities the Greek society exhibited, and are both deeply rooted within the story. In the intricate and well-developed plot of The Odyssey, Homer h...

    Humanity's Bloody Feud (On Oresteia Vengeance Humanity's Bloody Feud (On Aeschylus Oresteia) From the beginning of time vengeance or retribution has been part of the human condition.

  • Powerful Goddess Romans Greeks
    466 words
    Pallas Athene Versus Minerva The Goddess Athena has been an incredibly well-liked mythological character for centuries because of her complex personality and the values which are taught through her actions. The powerful Goddess has been generally thought of as being the same person in both Greek and Roman stories alike, but this is not true. Athena was looked upon and spoken of very differently in Roman and Greek myths, though she remains with the same basic personality traits in both cultures. ...

  • Avenge His Father House Of Atreus
    1,474 words
    Progression Towards Light Aeschylus use of darkness and light as a consistent image in the Oresteia depicts a progression from evil to goodness, disorder to order. In the Oresteia, there exists a situation among mortals which has gotten out of control; a cycle of death has arisen in the house of Atreus. There also exists a divine disorder within the story which, as the situation of the mortals, must be brought to resolution: the Furies, an older generation of gods, are in conflict with the young...

  • Pride Is Seen Through Telemachos Quest For Pride Father
    726 words
    Quest for Pride Pride is a central theme throughout many epics and novels. For any heroic character to succeed in their quest they must have a strong sense of inner pride. In many cases the hero does not already have that pride, but obtains it through the obstacles set before them. If pride is not obtained, the hero will fail. In the epic The Odyssey, Odysseus has already obtained his sense of inner pride. Therefore, the quest for inner pride is seen through Telemachos. In the beginning of The O...

  • Rich And Powerful Divine Justice
    1,322 words
    Orestes, the Furies, Croesus, and Cyrus What do all these disparate characters have in common? The answer is that divine justice decides the course that their lives will take. Divine justice plays a large role in both of the works that these characters are from the Oresteia of Aeschylus and The Histories of Herodotus. However, the two works differ on what exactly constitutes divine justice, and how divine justice operates. Aeschylus would argue that divine justice is reactive. In other words, ju...
