Aphrodite’s Affection Advice
Hello, this is the most exquisite goddess of love and beauty, here to do my beloved job of creating love. So, this week we have advice for the lovely queen of the gods as she requested, but as she would rather not have her true name revealed, she asked to be called CheatedWife1 instead. Now, CheatedWife1, you have come to me saying that your husband Zeus, king of the gods, is a cheater and is always fraternizing with other women, mortal and divine. I must say, this is quite a sad revelation! Well, my advice to you is to try to catch these consorts, and show them just who is queen of the gods and rightful consort of Zeus! That’s it for today so see you next week with another section of advice! May love find you quickly!
-Aphrodite

Olympus News
This week on Olympus, we have visiting the mortal Hercules, who will be attending the company of Lady Hera, as he was summoned. Hercules has been a wonder to the mortals, and a source of revenge for the Lady Hera because her husband Zeus is his father, and she isn’t the mother. His many extraordinary feats include: slaying the Nemean Lion, slaying the Hydra, capturing the Erymanthian Boar, slaying the Stymphalian Birds, capturing the Cretan Bull, obtain the cattle of the monster Geryon, steal the apples of the Hesperides, capture and bring back Cerubus, and many more so make sure to respect this mighty hero!
Mortal News
This week the mortals have been involved in yet another war, one they call the Trojan War because the opposing sides are the city of Troy and the Greeks. Troy had managed to hide behind its high and protective walls for a long while, but eventually the Greeks broke through by sending a small force in the guise of a large wooden horse that they hid inside, then from there allowed the rest of their army entry and took down Troy. It has been confirmed that divine interference was the base cause of this war, although names will not be said in order to

    Hercules in Popular Culture

    First, however, I would like to start by giving a little bit of background information on the hero known as Hercules. Hercules was born as the son of Zeus and a beautiful mortal woman named Alcmene, in the Greek city of Thebes. Due to his father’s divinity, Hercules was given the gift of extraordinary physical strength and courage. From the beginning, the events of his life were shaped by the wrath of the goddess Hera, who scorned the boy that was a reminder of her husband’s infidelity. As he matured he faced countless tasks and hardships, but through his victories he forever glorified himself in ancient literature. The stories of Hercules had quite a large impact on the early Greeks. Some, such as the ancient Spartans, believed they were descendants of the great hero and strived to be like him on the battlefield and in the gymnasium. Elsewhere, in Thebes, the Cult of Heracles was a religious group that was created which worshiped him as the divine protector of man. The cult constructed many shrines throughout the ancient world and even held festivals in his honor every year (theoi.com). Later on, the…

    Nature of the Gods in the Iliad

    In the Iliad, the gods play an important role in the Trojan War. The Homeric gods know they are better than the mortals that serve them and do not care much when they fight and have quarrels. The gods can always withdraw from the battle and never have to worry about dying or suffering that the humans live with every day during the war. This is where we see the motivations of the gods, their relationships with mortals, relationships with each other and the power and authority of Zeus.…

    Examples Of Abigail Williams In The Crucible

    As the bloodshed seemed to be at a stale mate between the two domineering powerhouses, the Greek kings Odysseus and Ithaca had thought of an idea that could possibly win the battle. They said “build a big wooden horse on wheels”. They explained that it would be used to hide Greek soldiers and infiltrate the city of Troy without being noticed. And just that happened. The Greeks offered them the horse as a sign of surrender and also a gift to the goddess Athena. They accepted the gift and, as planned, brought it in their city. Because of the horse’s massive size, the Trojans had to take down a whole city wall to bring it in leaving them open to attack. After the whole town celebrated the victory over Greece, they went to sleep and that is when they attacked. The soldiers filled out the horse and began their raid. They killed the guards and signaled in the rest of the Greeks to come in through the gapping whole where the wall was torn down. They had soon won the battle that roared in Troy. They murdered all the men and the women and children were sent to Greece to be slaves. Greece won the battle by lying to the Trojans, proving a positive result from it. The outcome was their victory against their rival and it not only did well to Odysseus and Ithaca but also the entire Greek…

    Trojan War Analysis

    These myths were told to people and it helped them realize the difference between right and wrong. It helped them come to terms with understanding their own humility and it also helped them gain an understanding that they should never think themselves higher than their immortal gods. These myths tell the tales of mighty heroes and how their greatness was achieved while at the same time illustrating the flaws these heroes had in their personal quest to become gods. A deeper look into the Trojan War reveals meanings, attitudes, and life lessons that the Greeks were very adamant in preserving for the betterment of their society and to the world around them. These tales seldom ended in happy endings like the ones we are accustomed to observing in our culture today and is important to remember that they weren’t written solely for entertainment—they were written with a greater purpose. In truth, these myths give people the opportunity to glimpse at the way the Greeks lived and how they thought back then. These myths were an integral part of ancient Greek culture, this was how they passed down lessons from…

    Navajo Hero Twins

    During his sixth labor, the driving away of the plague-like Stymphalian birds, he is assisted by the goddess Athena, who shoos the birds out of their hiding places while Hercules shoots them down with arrows (Hamilton 232), a scene somewhat reminiscent of the Hero Twins firing off their arrows at Yeitso ("Changing" 45). Hercules is helped immensely, at least at first, in obtaining the girdle of the queen of the Amazons (his ninth labor), as she offers it to him freely. Unfortunately, Hera's temper gets the best of her again, and she makes the Amazons think Hercules is kidnapping their queen, leading not to his demise, but to that of the generous Amazon queen (and, likely, many of her subjects) as he fights to get away with his prize (Hamilton…

    Trojan War

    The existence of a war in Troy is undeniable; however it is not the Trojan war of Homer’s Iliad. It is believed that Homer’s account may have been based on a real event therefore having some truth but due to the mythological nature of the source, the unreliability of oral transmission and the exaggerated romantic theme, the account is not a valid source for historians. Written evidence such as the Hittite records and the different theories presented by archaeologists Schliemann, Dorpfield, Blegen and Korfmann strongly suggest the occurrence of a war in troy and have some links to the Iliad. Despite these links, there is only enough evidence to support the existence of a war in Troy but not explicitly Homer’s Trojan War.…

    In life, love and war are polar opposites. However, when it comes to Aphrodite, they are what make her the most well known goddess in Greek Mythology.

    Homer Vs Shlieman

    The epic of the Trojan War have two names that stand out even more than of its protagonists: Homer and Heinrich Schliemann. Homer, the greatest poet of all time, compiled stories of an oral tradition that sang the heroic deeds of a war that pitted the city of Troy with a coalition of Greek States to the 8th century BC. A war that happened five centuries before and that was the last heroic deed of a powerful civilization whose track would disappear from history soon after until little more than one century ago it was returned to find. So, for almost 3,000 years, that fabulous civilization destroyed Troy only became legend transmitted by Homer in the Iliad and the Odyssey, deeds so the war, and even the very existence of Troy was taken as an…

    Greek Mythology Research Paper

    For my DIY course, I had researched mythology, mainly Greek mythology though. So in the beginning of Greek mythology, the first gods were Gaea, the Earth and Uranus, the Sky and Heavens. Some stories say that Gaea had made Uranus. Together they had twelve children in all and they were known as the first generation of Titans. Six of them were females and their names were Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Rhea, Theia, Themis and Tethys. The six males were named Coeus, Cronus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, and Oceanus. The Titans arose to power when Cronus, his mother, Gaea, and his brothers made a plan to take the rulership of the Cosmos from their father, Uranus, resulting with Cronus who the youngest brother to be in control.…
