    Although women in ancient Greece are often portrayed as meek and weak, this is not the case in Homer’s epic; The Odyssey. Instead, women in the Odyssey are often described as either cunning, intelligent, sexually alluring, or powerful, dangerous and fatal. Some of the most typical female characters are Athena, Circes and Penelope, where Athena is a powerful goddess and a skilled warrior, Circes is a cunning witch who tricked Odysseus’ men into drinking her potion and turning into swine, and Penelope, the extremely clever, yet loyal wife of Odysseus who outsmarted the suitors for 20 years. Most of these female characters fall under the category of “femme Fatale”, Latin for fatal-woman, which perfectly portrays their powerfulness and how lethal they are.…

    These were not normal phone calls of a government that was conducting professional investigations as normal safety procedures for the sake of the country's security. It was a government that was out for blood, terrorising those people with vindictive spite and hatred.

No-one was exempted from the harassment of the police. Everyone lived in terror of crimes they knew nothing about and unjust accusation. The country was in utter turmoil.…
