    Cronus And Zeus Research Paper

    Zeus is not omnipotent as he is most often perceived. He is not the most powerful Greek God, but simply the one who happened to fulfill the prophecy of Cronus’ fall. Although, he was the one appointed the task of releasing his brothers and sisters by prophecy, it was by chance that he happened to be the son that was saved. All the children of Cronus were equal, and Zeus needs the help of all of his siblings to defeat Cronus. The prophecy said a son would be stronger than Cronus but never omnipotent or stronger than other gods. In addition, Zeus did not demonstrate the power of creation alone. In one story, Epimetheus and Prometheus take the responsibility of creating mankind. In another story, it is all the gods that made mankind from metals.…

    The Peloponnesian War: Athens The Instigator

    “If we do go to war, have no thought that you went to war over a trivial affair” (Thucydides, in Hunt 101). The Peloponnesian War lasted longer than any other pervious war in Greece. The war began in 431 BCE with Sparta’s invasion of Athens. The Athenians sacrificed the destruction of their private property in order to hide in the safety of their city. The Long Walls of Athens protected its citizens and preserved its population. The Spartans however had the upper hand in infantry while the Athenians were superior at sea. With the aid of Persia, Sparta eventually defeats Athens at Syracuse in 404 BCE after a continuous twenty-seven years at war (Hunt 104). The creation of the Delian League, the reign of Pericles, the aggravation of Corinth, and the refusal to negotiate made Athens the sole instigator for the long and violent Peloponnesian War.…

    ak to the people they are watching over such as the instance in the Odyssey where Athena comes to Ithaca to visit Telemachus and reassure him that his father will be coming home and recommends a journey for the boy and to wait a year to allow him to make it home (pg.296).

    Apollo In Greek Mythology

    Greek mythology was used as a way to explain and provide reason for what was going on in the world. (Hamilton,1) These stories were used to "lead us back to a time when...people had a connection with the earth." (Hamilton,1) In this time, people had "little distinction between the real and unreal." (Hamilton, 1) The Greeks recognized twelve main gods, the brothers, sisters, and children of the king of the gods Zeus. (Bleiberg) Among these twelve was Zeus's son Apollo. Although Apollo is best known as the Greek god of music, archery, healing, light, and truth, he was also known for acts of destruction and nature's control of life.…

    Greek Warfare In Ancient Greece

    In Ancient Greece, warfare was predominant war of life. Greeces terrain was very mountainous. Because of this there were many city states. There was constant war between these states for territorial expansion, revenge or sometimes just honor. In the early stages of the geek warfare, the Archaic period, training was disorganized and weapons were pretty bad. Although soldiers were paid, they were only paid enough to make them survive the day (enough for food, cloth, etc.). Soldiers didn't have any real uniforms and as soon as the war was over the went back to their farms instead of training more. By the 600 BC, the spartan military was a model for all city states to follow. The Spartans had a well trained, full time army that had organized uniforms.

    Spartans Vs. Athenians: The Peloponnesian War

    Can you imagine four-thousand spartans charging down a hill while three-thousand Athenians ready their bows and release them all simultaneously while the string whips in the hard rain? The Peloponnesian War was one of the most fierce wars in Greece because many people fell in battle. From the South were the Spartans. Their forces had never been stronger with a reformed, military-based government. From the North was the Athenians who had just been through a war that had been won, and were still armed and battle ready, holding fortresses across Greece. The interactions that these two city states made against, with, and without them were so intense that even the fierce kings, Leonidas of Sparta and King Pericles Cleon Nicias of Athens, fell to each other's armies.…
