    In ancient Greece, women were virtually invisible to those outside the home and their reputation was best when there was “the least possible talk about you among men, whether in praise or blame” (Thucydides 1.45.2). There was a Greek Proverb that said “a woman knew two great moments of her life: her marriage and her death” (Powell, 40). In ancient Greek culture, women were normally seen as objects for marriage and childbearing and in literature were often depicted with an uncontrollable sexual appetite causing them to lie and scheme. The Pandora myth affirms the gender dynamics of ancient Greek culture. This is shown by the way Hesiod describes Pandora, his attitude toward women, and his opinion about women’s roles and work.…

    Esch looks to the women in Greek mythology for power and strength in her femininity and sexuality. These are things she is missing in her life. Esch has been sexually active since the age of 12, she is always looking for love in sex. “The pulpy ripe heart. The sticky heart the boys saw through my boyish frame, my dark skin, my plane face. The girly heart that, before Manny, I let boys have because they wanted it, and not because I wanted to give it. I 'd let boys have it because for a moment, I was Psyche or Eurydice or Daphne. I was beloved” (Ward 17). Although when it comes to Manny, Esch thinks she knows what she wants.” But with Manny, it was different; he was so beautiful, and still he chose me, again and again. He wanted my girl heart; I gave him both of them” (Ward 17). Ward has created a character so conflicted within herself. Esch is always looking to the goddesses for help in defining the way she is feeling. Aphrodite, goddess of romance and passion, known for her numerous affairs of the heart. Also known as the roman goddess Venus, Aphrodite had one gift and that was to make love. The Greek goddess Artemis was independent, choosing the wild beauty of the forest and mountains over marriage and parenthood. I see a little bit of Esch in both of these…

    Prometheus and Gaea

    • 1117 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Throughout Greek mythology Prometheus is known as the fire bearing Titan who rebelled against Zeus and saved the world from his curse of a heatless and lightless punishment. Like wise, Equality in Anthem also rebels against his government in response to seeing the corruption within it. These similarities show how their lives exemplify the ideal of individualism. Furthermore, Gaea, the goddess of earth, is comparable with The Golden One from Anthem; both would be seen as the beginning of a new race. In particular, Prometheus and Equality’s trails and experiences correlate to each other and elicit the motives behind their audacious actions. Ultimately, Ayn Rand changes the names of her characters to Prometheus and Gaea as their lives parallel the lives of Equality and the Golden One both with similar trials and sacrifices for the sake of mankind. Prometheus and Equality’s rebellion are similar. They both passionately desire prosperity for their human race and are willing to rebel against a higher power to achieve it. Initially, their rebellion against a higher power is quite similar: “The rebel Prometheus, who had taken such a personal risk for mankind, now was faced with getting the fire back down to earth.” (Pontikis; Prometheus; Mythology’s Original Rebel). Furthermore, Equality rebelled against the higher power that threatened his humanity: “ ‘You fools!’ we cried. ‘You fools!’ ‘You thrice-damned fools!’” (Rand, page 75). Here Equality calls the highest power, the Council of the Scholars, “Thrice-damned fools” because they reject his offering to humanity. Later, Equality vows to protect his chosen brothers and start a new rebellion race that would be based off individualism and loyalty. He wanted to create a new race of humans, a race that would be superior to the people that he grew up with. He would add things that would make them like gods relative to that of the past humans, such as individualism and…

    With the movie Avatar, Pandora is presented as a virgin land of unspoiled beauty, a paradise with a vast landscape full of wildlife, huge trees, plants that react and move like animals, astonishing rainforests, wonderful waterfalls, lakes, rivers, massive cliffs hovering above the ground, impressive mountains and magnificent animals. It is nature as something divine and marvelous. Contrary to Pandora's magnificent natural landscape, the base's environment is purely a military construct in which everything is gray and dark and only artificial light exists. The image of this lifeless place in which the only things are enormous excavators, trucks, steel and chain-link fences, huge tractors, gigantic, heavily- armored, human-operated…

    Pandora is Hesiod’s representation for a female, an attractive decoy, sexually alluring. Zeus wanted “to make a face such as goddesses have and the shape of a lovely maiden” (Hesiod 45). Hesiod also regarded women having strong feelings, “stinging desire and limb gnawing passion” (Hesiod 45) but with a selfish personality, “mind of a bitch and a thievish nature” (Hesiod 45).…

    Pandora was created to punish mankind because Prometheus stole fire from mount Olympus to give to man as a special gift. Hephaestus made Pandora and each of the gods gave her a gift; (Aphrodite gave her beauty, Athena clothed her, etc.) most important, Hera, Zeus's wife, gave her the "gift" of curiosity. Hermes was to take Pandora down Mt. Olympus to Earth to present Pandora to Epimetheus as his new wife. Hermes gave Pandora a golden box (in some versions a vase) for a wedding present but warned her to never open it. Even though Prometheus warned Epimetheus to not accept any gifts from the gods, he did anyways. Pandora had the box on the table but her curiosity was driving her crazy so she hid the box in a room and locked the door. She was still tempted so she took the box outside, put it in a wooden chest and wrapped chains around it, dug a hole, buried it, and rolled a boulder on top of it. She woke up in the middle of the night, put on her robe, and walked outside. She touched the boulder and it rolled very easily out of the way. After she dug up the box, she was just going to open it just to take a peek at her present which ended up releasing all of the evil know to the world today. She closed the box in time to keep in hopelessness (other versions say different things she kept in/ let out).…
