Personal Narrative: Persephone
I am Demeter, goddess of the harvest and agriculture. I live in Olympus with my siblings. We have a crazy life, but I love it. I have one daughter of whom I adore more than anything in the world, Persephone. I would do anything in the world for Persephone, I would strip the world of its grains and grass, I would leave the farmers fields barren, I would lead the human race into a famine age. So that’s what I did. Let me start from the beginning, one day while my beautiful goddess of the Spring, Persephone was on a walk, she fell behind her friends. While in her solo vulnerability, the dark lord of the underworld, Hades took her on his chariot drawn by coal black steeds through a chasm in the earth to the land of the dead. I heard her cry

    Greek Hero Perseus Research Paper

    The greek hero Perseus is one of the most famous ancient greek hero figures in history. To begin telling his tale of heroism I must first start with his legacy. The grandson of Acrisius and the son of Zeus and Danae, Perseus was born from very strong parents. Acrisius got word from an oracle that if is daughter Danae birthed a son, the child would kill his father. Acrisius, accordingly, shut up his daughter in a subterraneous chamber, made of brass and stone, but Zeus having metamorphosed himself into a shower of gold, came down upon her through the roof of the apartment, and became the father of Perseus. When Acrisius discovered that Danae had given birth to a son he cast her and Perseus into the sea in a golden chest. Miraculously…

    Persepolis Book Report

    Persepolis is a historical book yet an entertaining story of a girl during a frightening time in an important era in her country. Author, Marjane Satrapi writes about her experience in Iran as a child. She includes humor as well as sentimentality in this book to express her view on how times were.

    Disney Hero's Journey

    The movie leaves out a few important characters that were told in Perseus’s original myth. Originally, Perseus set out on his quest for Medusa’s head in order to save his mother Danae from King Polydectes. In the movie however, they replace the importance of his mother with his lover Io, who he must save from the sea monster, the Kraken. Film makers know the importance of a love story in today’s movies, which is probably why they make this change. Also, the movie is given an obvious villain, which is where Hades is brought into it. With him being the easily identifiable evil character, that leaves no room for confusion. Perseus’s character is only given minor changes from the original myth to the movie, still portraying him as a brave and compassionate…

    Hymn To Demeter Analysis

    In Hymn to Demeter, Persephone is taken by Hades who is the God of the underworld. In the hymn, it says, “He seized her against her will and on his golden chariot carried her off wailing.”(Hymn to Demeter 23) Persephone was in a meadow, picking flowers when she was caught off guard and snatched away in a blink of an eye.
