Part 1
Chapter 1
1. The 12 Olympians gained control when Zeus dethroned Cronus and seized power.
2. I most identify with Hephaestus is because of my love of building and crafting.
3. Hera would punish the women Zeus fell in love with even if they were tricked and her anger even fallowed the children. Hera also threw Hephaestus off of mount Olympus because of his deformities. The reasons are not always justified, but the reason they are might be because the Greeks might of saw it as a way to say even the things that seem to be great have a side of darkness too.
4. I find the three judges interesting because they determine how you spend the rest of your afterlife.

19 The Idea of an Echo came from the nymph Echo who was cursed by Hera to only be able to say the last word she hears. The myth of Echo involves Narcissus who was curse by Nemesis to love only himself, so when he saw himself in the reflection of a pond he sat and watched his reflect for the rest of his life.

Chapter 5
22. It means if you cannot trust a person you cannot truly love them and it affects your feelings towards them.
23. They were both given something and told not to open it but they both did anyway and it showed they viewed women as trouble.

24. It explains why a mulberry tree changes color.
25. The two both include music and other things of the arts.
26. She would lay eggs these days are call the halcyon days
27. It had the same people with a few changes.

29. With the Book the House of Hades by Rick Riordan It has a modern Echo and Narcissus still stuck in the same problem as the first

    Did Hercules Exist?

    Hercules is one of the most famous Greek heros of the ancient times, well known for his heroic achievements and his unbelievable strength. He was someone very special who at the same time was extremely ordinary, in the concept that he faced everyday problems that he had to overcome himself. Although his courageous personal traits make him famous, he was not perfect in all aspects. Hercules was born to a mortal woman by the name of Alcmene and fathered by the greatest God in Greek mythology, Zeus, making Hercules a Demi God.This idea meant that Hercules had some features that were very godly, some divine powers, but at the same time he was a mortal, meaning he could die. It is suspected, that the Greeks invented this idea because they wanted to reach the Gods as much as possible, to create images of that would deem themselves worthy to the higher divinity. Something is always hidden behind every myth so it is very probable that once, a man existed that was physically strong and made such an impression to the ancient Greek world, that a myth was created around his name. The question is, did Hercules really exist?…

    Penelope is shown to be contsently in emotional termilol over odyessus throughout the Odyssey. For much of the book she is seen to be crying until a god take pity on her and allows her to fall asleep. But while Penelope is seen to be very leaky, she is also shown to be very rational, and very bounded to many things. One of this things is the funeral shroud that she uses to trick the suitors for three years by unraveling it at night.

    This Greek myths attempts to discourage two types of undesirable behavior. One unflattering type of behavior is to be arrogant. The other is defending someone whom one knows is in the wrong. Echo deceitfully stalled Hera, and by doing that she allowed Zeus to get away with committing adultery. Narcissus verbally and scornfully turned Echo away because he was self absorbed. In conclusion, this myth greatly discourages one to be conceited, and not to help someone who is doing something shameful.…

    The Pride of Zeus

    • 2473 Words
    • 10 Pages

    In Greece and Asia Minor around 2000 B.C. there existed a common belief in a group of deities. Of this group of deities were twelve Olympians who were immortal. From that group of Olympians came the most dominant and commanding God known to immortals and mortals alike. That Olympian god was Zeus; the son of Titans Cronus and Rhea. When Zeus had grown to maturity, he waged war against his father with his disgorged brothers and sisters as allies. The battle was of epic proportions, Zeus fighting from Mt. Olympus, Cronus from Mt. Othrys. This is Mark Morford’s interpretation of Zeus’ rise to power, which he’d argue is a story of, “The Hero and the Quest” (Morford, 76). While there is no arguing Zeus’ supremacy, it is easy to argue his intentions. Zeus has been labeled as a selfish God; a God who looks only after his bests interests. There is no arguing Zeus is an egocentric God. But being the most powerful God, it’s difficult to place blame on him. However, there is more to Zeus than his powerful facade. Zeus may always be looking out for his best interests as seen in the poem, Leda and the Swan, but he is aware of the existence of the other Gods and mortals. It is because of this that I believe Zeus not only tries to appease himself, but also every other living soul on Earth at the time, whether they be brothers or sisters, sons and daughters, or Gods and mortals. While others may declare these are patterns of evilness and destructiveness, I believe it’s more than anything the pride of Zeus which justifies his actions.…
