How Did Ambroos Influence Ancient Greek Culture
1. Best viewed with picture upside down.
Name: Ambroos (AHM-braws)
Meaning/importance: Ambroos was a legendary warrior believed to have lived 3500 years ago by the ancient Bhrytonian (bry-THON-ion) civilization. Its was discovered by warriors participating the strange practice of balancing on their head for hours a day in order to strengthen their scull and neck, similar to the practice of Qi Gong by the Shoaling Monks. All Bhrytonian warriors knew the legend of Ambroos and the legendary status among the armies of Bhrytonia, who was also said to have come fourth in the Mount Tritus tournament (see #4 for more info on the tournament). In the middle of a great battle he was injured and abandoned by his platoon and was captured by enemy warriors.

Demogorgon would usually only stop the strong men (strong meaning not sick or weakened by disease) from entering because of the Bhrytonian belief that women never did anything to distinguish them from their peers and therefore did not gain entrance to Heaven. The only way for a woman to get into heaven is to be brought through by their husbands after they defeat Demogorgon, which encouraged many faithful marriages. Demogorgon’s sole purpose was to fight the dead and have them prove that they were worthy to spend eternity in Heaven. Even if you were a noble warrior in life you still had to prove yourself in the afterlife to gain access to Heaven. To gain access to Heaven you had to fight Demogorgon for 1000 years or until you were defeated. You would carry all of your strength and weaknesses into the afterlife, which would discourage men from killing themselves at a young age to fight Demogorgon sooner. Your entire life was just training to get into the afterlife though those who succeeded in life were far more likely to defeat Demogorgon in the afterlife. If you were lucky and were never killed in combat and lived to an old age and lost your strength, when you died you would be presented with your body at it most powerful state from when you were younger to fight Demogorgon. If you were to last the 1000 year fight or were to defeat Demogorgon

    Marble Statue of a Wounded Warrior is a Roman statue, crafted in the second century A.D., as a copy of a bronze Greek statue cast between 460 and 450 B.C. Though sculpted with obvious technical aptitude, Wounded Warrior is riddled with anatomical imprecision and is inhibited by a reluctance to depict the unsightliness of injury in combat. The first time I laid my eyes on this exquisite artifact, I was astonished by its fierce presence. The orientation of the gallery encourages the viewer to approach Marble Statue of a Wounded Warrior from the rear. Startlingly colossal and dignified, the statue seems likely to reveal a paradigmatic Greek warrior upon being seen from the front. A raised right arm…

    Greek civilization, in many ways, was the most advanced population of it's time. The Greeks have created a great stir in modern day values, events, and philosophy, and they were just getting warmed up. The question, "What did the Greeks contribute to modern society", was posed, and I will begin to answer. The Greeks created a vast religious system, filled with heroes, gods, villains, monsters, and more. This has fascinated us, and has even influenced some of our brands of clothing, Nike for example (Nike being the goddess of victory). Speaking of Nike, the Olympic games were held in celebration of her, and was often seen as the main event. She was held in the hand of the statue of Athena during the games, and the olive wreaths were actually…

    The Greek Archaic period art started around 700 BC and ended around 480 BC. Common elements is Archaic art consist of animated faces, motion, long hair, and arms down with hands in a fist. There was great attention to the human anatomy during this time. A good example of this is the statue Kroisos, a grave marker for a fallen warrior. The statue is dated from about 540 to 515 BC and is now in the Archaeological Museum of Athens. This freestanding statue has many Archaic elements from his striding stance to his expressive face. Notably, the sculpture has what is called an “Archaic smile,” which is used to described the over animated face that was common in the Archaic period. It is also seen that he is standing in a striding position indicating the he is walking. This along with his clenched fists, long hair, and detailed anatomy makes it clear that he originates from the Archaic period. However, this sculpture in not overtly realistic but rather more idealistic of what a warrior should look like.…

    Demigods in Iliad

    • 1435 Words
    • 6 Pages

    In The Iliad by Homer, the ancient Greek gods have many extraordinary abilities. They take pleasure in eternal youth by consuming ambrosia and nectar, resisting disease, and influencing the tides of war between Trojan and Achaian soldiers. In addition to these supernatural powers, the gods have the benefit of immortality. Immortality is the birthright that primarily separates gods from mortals and thus, it is the most precious of supernatural powers. Gods such as Zeus, Thetis, and Aphrodite have sexual relationships with mortals and their children are born as demigods: half human, half god. These hybrid offspring have extraordinary strength and enjoy an advantage over their human counterparts. For example, the demigods are able to receive assistance during battle from their immortal parents and oftentimes are saved from death; however, they do not possess immortality. While the gods are able to intervene and help their children during desperate moments, they are ultimately unable to alter their children’s fate. A lack of control over fate forces the demigods, along with their parents, to face adversity during the fierce battle between the Achaians and Trojans. Although the demigods enjoy superiority over regular mortals, they, like normal humans, have an unalterable fate and, as a result, their immortal parents endure physical and emotional pain for them. The Gods’ inability to interfere with their children’s destinies highlights the demigod’s main mortal characteristic: they are destined to die.…

    Yesterday, I attended my nephew’s 7th birthday party. The theme of his party was superheroes, and was amazed at all the children running around in their superhero costumes, acting as superheroes. This got me thinking on how superhero play is one of the most controversial forms of childhood play, as some people believe it stimulates aggression and violence and creates disruptive behavior. However, modern research points out and identifies how important superheroes are, not only to children, but to adults alike.…

    It was discovered in 1996 near the Croatian island of Losini in the northen Adriatic Sea. Both this statue and the Ephesian Apoxyomenos reproduce the same late-fourth-centruy B.C. work, but this replica is better-preserved. On contrary to the small-scaled Alexander the Great sculpture, the athlete sculpture is slightly over life-size by ancient standards. Produced in the first century B.C., it is composed of bronze and copper. The mature, but youthful man stands upright with his weight on the right leg and the left foot set to the side with heel raised with an overly muscular chest and wide shoulders. The smoothly idealized face has wide cheekbones and a rather short chin with copper accentuating the lips and nipples. The most distinct feature of the head is the hair. The rows of smaller and finely chiseled strands surrounding the forehead are swept in different directions, creating a realistically disheveled look of an athlete who has just finished his competition. The most noticeable difference from the Ephesian statue is the position of the head, which is not turned to the left, is inclined further forward, and is somewhat tilted. As a result, the figure’s gaze does not meet the…
