Diana Of Themyscira In Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman is an iconic figure that can be seen as the representation of women kind throughout the ages. She is a symbol of physical and mental strength, as well as having a strong sense of self that helps her to do the right thing, even in difficult situations. She is a dynamic character that changes throughout the history of her written story. Diana of Themyscira is at the mercy of the author and her story morphs and is based on the author’s own ideas, values, and beliefs. Charles Moulton, the 1940’s creator of Wonder Woman, Denny O'Neil from the 60’s and Grant Morrison who created the most current 2016 Wonder Woman series, bring their own ideas, as well as the women’s movement of the time period into the character of Diana.

According to USCourts.gov, every “state has its own system with most having specific courts such as juvenile court, probate court, family court, and others that oversee specific legal issues.” (Judicial Council of California, 2012).

    It is clear that Athena is a bad “goddess” in the Odyssey. When Odysseus returns to his home, Athena suggests he test the suitors to see who is guilty. Even though she sets this task for him, Homer says that “But not even so would Athena save one man from death.”(pg.291) Inferring that even if the suitor was innocent she would still have them executed, this action of hers contradicts what it means to be good therefore she can’t be, she must be bad. Following this, Athena allowed the suitors to insult Odysseus wanting “to make the anguish cut still deeper into the core of Laertes’ son Odysseus.”(pg.312) Athena knew what Odysseus has been through and that he has been waiting to return home for a while so to allow insults to flow through the…

    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). Though Telemachus may have not known it was Athena this is an example of a seen and heard Goddess which allows for her to reassure the boy. It is also seen with Achilles and Athena in the Iliad when Achilles is about to fight to the death with Agamemnon, on lines 205 and 206 it says “Athena came sent by the white-armed goddess Hera who loved and watched over the two men” (pg 194). In this scene it goes on to display a scene of the gods taking their power of visibility and…

    Iris and not the part of my eye, the goddess of the rainbow. Yes, the beautiful striped wavelength of different color light you see after it's rains.However, Iris wasn’t just the rainbow goddess; she was also the messenger of the Olympian gods and the personal assistant to Hear, ( I'm the assistant for the basketball coach) the wife and one of the three sisters of Zeus(I have the three sisters as well). This is why she was usually portrayed standing beside Zeus and Hera, sometimes serving nectar from her jug. Yet, as cupbearer of the gods, Iris was often drawn the same as Hebe (goddess of youth and the cupbearer of the gods ) in ancient Greek art; kinda sounds like what I do as team manager. This explains the double meaning of Iris’s name; Iris, meaning "the rainbow" and Eiris, meaning "messenger". Iris traveled almost everywhere; even the dark underworld. Someday I hope to travel everywhere I could. Moreover, Iris was chosen by the gods to carry sacred water from the Styx (the river of the Oaths) to Mount Olympus for the gods to swear by and if they lie they would be punished. She was chosen to do this because she could move with the speed of the wind. See people who lie always get a little something called karma…
