    A little Learning is a Dangerous Thing: Origin and Meaning The source most often quoted as the origin of these words‚ is part of poem written by Alexander Pope (1688-1744) in his “Essay on Criticism” “A little learning is a dang’rous thing; Drink deep‚ or taste not the Pierian spring: There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain‚ And drinking largely sobers us again. Fir’d at first sight with what the Muse imparts‚ In fearless youth we tempt the heights of Arts‚ While from the bounded

    Aeneas and Dido Taking control of one’s life and making one’s own way in the world are two Roman ideals that Aeneas‚ the epic hero of Virgil’s Aeneid‚ lacks in every way. Aeneas’ brief interactions with his lover Dido‚ queen of Carthage‚ do not differ. Once again‚ Aeneas proves that he is ruled by his passivity and at the whim of the gods‚ instead of his own. Lust and the gods are two factors that take Aeneas and control him‚ either diverting him or carrying him in the right direction after some

    world and theogony‚ or the gods‚ and pays specific detail to genealogy (West‚ 1996: 521). Ovid‚ on the other hand‚ was a Roman poet‚ born in 43 BC – the year after the assassination of Julius Caesar and lived during Augustus’s reign. It’s said that his father took him to Rome to become educated in the ways of a public speaker or a politician‚ but instead Ovid used his education to write poetry (Gill‚ 2013).

    ************ CPAL PD.2 Response #2 May 24th 2013 Medea and Dido “Love is like a friendship caught on fire.” (Bruce Lee para. 1). Love can burn. Whether the burn is pleasant or ruthless is for your own experience. However‚ two women in the ancient societies can demonstrate the uglier side of love quite easily. The women are Medea and Dido. They each fall in love with great heros with the help of gods‚ and each of them made great sacrifices for

Examples from Ancient Egypt range from the most formal - ’the royal widow...Ankhesenamun wrote a letter to the king of the Hittites‚ Egypt’s old enemy‚ begging him to send one of his sons to Egypt to marry her’ - to the down-to-earth: let me ’bathe in thy presence‚ that I may let thee see my beauty in my tunic of finest linen‚ when it is wet’.[2] Imperial China might demand a higher degree of literary skill: when a heroine
