Letter To Poseidon Proctor
Medusa S.P.D. Poseidón, I am writing this letter to you, my dear Poseidon, because I have been longing to hear from you. If you are reading this that means that the malicious Athena did not intercept this. Te amo with all my heart and I long to be yours. If you could simply not pay attention to my looks, I am sure that we could be together! Remember the days when we were together? Remember how happy we both were? We could be like that once again! If you still truly love me, then you can look over my flaws. Hercules’ labors were easier than my life right now! Everytime I look in the mirror, I remember that mournful day in which my beautiful locks of hair were replaced by my pet snakes. By the way, Hippios, the snake, says salve! Poseidon, I know you are a great and powerful God and you are very busy with the business affairs in the oceans, but I know somewhere in your life you need a strong independent girl like me. In order to be happy you need me! If you were seen with me, I am sure you would be considered the best God of them all and be the ruler of everyone at Mt. Olympus and throw Zeus down from the throne! We could be the rulers of …show more content…
Keeping something from you is hard; so I am just going to tell you, I am pregnant with not only one child, but two! When I learned this news, I was overjoyed! Preparing my place for children is what I am doing ever since I learned the news. So now I really need you to be with me! I cannot raise two children by myself! Please my love! Come help me and stay with me and your children! Teaching the children not to look me in the eyes might be hard as a single parent; so I need you! If anything were to happen to them, I would just die! Speaking of looking in the eyes, I think I have been doing well at trying to be a good person and not turn people to stone. Once I learned I have two children I have been trying to be a better person for

    “Do this, do that” that is all other gods tell me to do. They don’t even ask! They just command me because they think they are better than me! The think just because I have the same job as a mailman that I am not important, but I am also a GOD! I don’t even care about Odysseus. Calypso is better looking than Penelope. I would be happy in his situation, but no, Athena needs to intervene. She needs to free Odysseus so she can look like she is high and mighty. She just wants to suck up to Zeus, but I have to be the one to tell Calypso to let him go. I was forced into letting her go. If Zeus didn’t favor Athena so much I wouldn’t have had to. Yes, it was a pain to go visit her, but that’s not why I’m angry. I’m angry because Poseidon is mad at…

    Response To John Proctor

    I have chosen to write my response on the fact that John Proctor has committed adultery with Abigail. I believe that John does not sincerely mean sorry for cheating on his wife Elizabeth. I think this because if he really meant it then he would be begging for her forgiveness and not just saying sorry and it is over now. Also if he really meant it then he would have an actual conversation about the situation and would like to hear her opinion on the problem.…

    My father had picked me up while carrying me to mother, not angry like I thought they’d be. They held me whilst mother saying, “No one can replace you, Abigail, we love you dearly.” And “Nothing will change, even when the baby will come.” father told me. After that talk, I grew to love the fact that I am going to be a big sister.…

    My name is John Proctor, I consider myself to be a rebellious, logical, noble, and handsome young man. Today I am here to talk about my story, a story that changed my life and one that I learned from and never forget. I shall start by stating the truth that I have a good reputation in my village and married to Elizabeth Proctor, she is my wife in which I would cut my hand off to reach out to her. I am an angel of this world and I do no – wrong, but I am caught with one major flaw of my own, which is the affair I had with my servant of the house, the maid if I must say, Abigail Williams, while I was married. It was the fault of my own, a nonsensical, brainless decision on my part.…

    Poseidon was the god of the sea, earthquakes, and horses. As the protector of all sea creatures, he was considered the worst tempered, temperamental and greedy god, after disputes with the other gods. His brother, Zeus and hades, dominated their father Cronus and the titans together. They all had to draw straws, to divide the world, in which Poseidon drew the seas. The trident, is the weapon of Poseidon, which can cause earthquakes and shatter many objects. With this power weapon, he was considered to have the strongest power, amongst, Zeus and hades. Many People of Greece, worshipped Poseidon, especially seamen. This substantial impact towards the people of Greece, made them drown horses, as sacrifices towards Poseidon. People would also pray and make offerings in the Temple of Poseidon, before setting out to sea, hoping to be protected and be insured safety.

    Here I am, the lord of the sea Ruler and god of storms. They called me earth shaker but, my name was Poseidon. That was my name, and it will be remembered for ages. I was a major civic god of several cities: in Athens, I was second only to Athena in importance, while in Corinth and many cities of Magna Graecia I was the chief god of the polis. In his benign aspect, I was seen as creating new islands and offering calm seas. When I was offended or ignored, I struck the ground with my trident and caused chaotic springs, earthquakes, drownings and shipwrecks. Sailors prayed to me for a safe voyage, sometimes drowning horses as a sacrifice; in this way, according to a fragmentary papyrus, Alexander the Great paused at the Syrian seashore before…

    "And Athena handed down her pacts of peace/ between both sides for all the years to come- the daughter of Zeus whose shield is storm and thunder, / yes, but the goddess still kept Mentor 's Build and voice"(24. 559-602). Mentoring, as we know today is based on the actions and behavior of the goddess Athena towards Odysseus while disguised as his great friend the Mentor. She serves as his advisor, guide, and provides him with emotional support throughout Homers epic poem, The Odyssey. Athena holds a lot of power among the gods; and she is able to get her way in most situations by using her power from her father, Zeus, to her fullest advantage. In the beginning of Book One, Athena mentions Odysseus to her father and how her heart breaks just thinking of this crafty man and the horrible tragedies he has endured on his way home from war. Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, serves as more than just a loyal companion to Odysseus but rather a Mentor, and a shield, protecting him from harmful and risky situations, enabling him to make clever decisions, when he is not in the mindset to do so himself. The actions of Athena send Odysseus on a journey of self discovery. Athena vows to get Odysseus home safely, to inspire his son Telemechus, giving him courage to gather fellow Achaeans, and assists with plotting schemes of revenge against the mob of suitors taking over Ithaca. Odysseus, being the clever, crafty, and intelligent man he is, needs a woman to stand by his side every step of the way. Someone who will be there to help him, rather then appear physically attractive to him and act as a distraction. Athena serves as the perfect match for him under these circumstances: she is known for her wisdom, she can compete with Odysseus when it comes to craftiness, she doesn’t involve herself in sexual relationships with mortal men, and she is willing to risk anything to help him and his family in hopes of reuniting…

    Medusa

    • 939 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Medusa, originally a beautiful young woman whose crowning glory was her magnificent long hair, was desired and courted by many suitors. Medusa was a priestess for the temple of Athena. Because she was a priestess for the virgin god Athena she had to stay a virgin as well and couldn’t take a husband. Yet before she could be betrothed to a husband, Poseidon found her worshipping in the temple of Athena and ravished and raped her. Athena was outraged at her sacred temple being violated but was not mad at Poseidon but instead was mad at Medusa. Because this sort of behavior was expected from Poseidon and Athena was a god herself, she sided with Poseidon. She punished Medusa by turning her beautiful tresses into snakes and giving her the destructive power to turn anyone who looked directly at her into stone. One of the best-known legends about her tells of how the Greek hero Perseus killed her. Once there was a king named Acrisius, he had a beautiful daughter named Danae. The oracle of Apollo told Acrisius that Danae's son would one day kill him. Acrisius could not let that happen, so he locked Danae in a bronze tower so that she would never marry nor have children. The tower had no doors, but it had one very small window. Danae was very sad, but one day a bright shower of gold came through the small window. Having not heard from his daughter in a while, Acrisius decided to check on her to see what she was up too. He walked into the tower and saw Danae with a baby on her lap, smiling her said, "I have named him Perseus." Acrisius was furious; his first reaction was to kill both mother and child but decided against it in fear for the wrath of Zeus so he decided to shut Danae and baby Perseus up in a large chest and cast them out to sea. Somehow they got safely to the island of Seriphos where Polydectes was king. The king wanted to marry Danaë, but Perseus opposed the marriage. Polydectes decided on a plan to get rid of Perseus. Polydectes pretended to be marrying a…
