Myth Of Lilith
There was once a nymph named Lilith and she lived in a cottage on a mini hill. This hill had the most expensive cottages in Athens, Greece.

It wasn’t that she was rich, it was that she was a snotty, ungrateful, demanding little nymph. Lilith was disrespectful to everyone that didn’t give her what she wanted.

Lilith forced her parents to work. Lilith’s parents were too frightened to yell at her yet alone, even look at Lilith rudely. Every other night or so, her parents would talk, mostly about Lilith, they said “she is far alone too powerful to us”!

In the next ten moons, Lilith turned 16. She demanded that everyone in Athens, Greece came to her party, even the Gods!

The gods were furious that one little nymph would test their special/immortal

This beast is called a dragosaur, a (dragon/dinosaur).

Lilith thought this creature sounded genius’/amazing but, she stopped thinking this when she found out she had to slay it! Zeus told Lilith, “in order to come home you must slay the dragosaur to come back but, you must bring back one piece of the best for each god/goddess”!
Lilith had to try to fight the dragosaur at least 20 spins of a wheel before killing the beast. She killed it with the most ugly, rusty, unevaluable sword ever!

Lilith grabbed one whole piece of the dragosaur for each god/goddess. Zeus lifted Lilith back to Greece. Lilith wasn’t very greedy after this event in her life.

The ugly, rusted, unevaluable sword changed the way Lilith thought and made her more grateful for what she has. Lilith even moved the cottages that her parents could afford, this means that her parents weren’t always gone. Lilith stopped demanding everyone, especially her parents!

Lilith did not bother the gods again. On her next birthday they came uninvited and gave her the sword as her present. She had said to the gods, “you guys are the best, I am so thankful I have gods like

    A woman named Arachne who was a great weaver had boasted of her skills and claimed that she was better than Minerva herself. Minerva having heard this atrocity disguised herself as an old woman and warned Arachne to not offend the gods. Arachne disregarded her warning and challenged Minerva to a tapestry contest. Minerva revealed her true identity and the two dueled for the title of the best weaver. Although Minerva acknowledged Arachne’s skill, she picked herself as the winner and destroyed Arachne’s tapestry and loom.

    Archaeological evidence has been found at the sanctuary of Artemis Orthia. This evidence includes hundreds of votive offerings. These offering were usually lead figurines in the shape of women. It is thought that these figurines symbolised childbirth and pregnant women would make these offerings either to ask for a successful childbirth or to ask to bear a strong, healthy son. Women also took part in three of the major festivals that took place in Sparta; the Karneia, the Hyakinthia and the Gymnopaediae. At the Hyakinthia, women rode in ceremonial chariots, marched in procession, sung, danced and took part in sacrifices. At the Gymnopaediae, women would compete with the males in athletic…

    Agnodice's Legacy

    • 1232 Words
    • 5 Pages

    She was born to a wealthy family into the very patriarchal society of Athens, Greece. Men dominated every aspect of Greek life. They were the doctors, lawyers, government officials, and women were just… women. They had a sort of restricted free will; they did not share the same rights as men at this time. It is well-known that, “women were prohibited… from ever ‘achieving the status of fully autonomous beings’… she could not inherit property or engage in any but the most small scale business transactions.” (Radek-Hall) Often women were not even allowed to leave their home without the permission of the man of the house. Legally, women were seen as the property of their fathers, and when they were married off they became the property of their husband. The misogyny that was so prominent in Greek culture was enforced by law as well, not just by societal standards. Agnodice grew up in the midst of all of this and she knew that change was…

    Greek mythology is a vast subject with a seemingly infinite number of members. Consequently, only the chief individuals such as, Zeus, Hera, Athena and Ares, are well-known. Often forgotten are the so-called minor goddesses, the goddesses who lurk behind the curtains. Surprisingly, such a “negligible” goddess caused the greatest dispute in all of Greek mythology. The Greek Word ‘Eris’ means strife. Although Strife is an abstract idea, Eris is referred to as a goddess (Blackwell 72). Although Eris is not well-known in Greek mythology, “[h]er influence can be felt in every quarrel, feud and disagreement on the face of the earth and on the heights of Mount Olympos (Olympus).” (Stewart).…

    Women In Classical Greece

    • 546 Words

    The festivals that included men were: the Panathenaia, in honour of the goddess Athena, the Eleusinian Mysteries honouring Demeter and Persephone and the Anthesteria honouring Dionysus. The other festivals were solely for women, such as the Thesmophorian, the Haloa and the Skira, all emphasizing the correlation of a woman’s general capabilities with the renewal of vegetation, securing survival for the society. Religious rituals that were reserved for young girls probably had the most important impact on young unmarried women. Young girls between the ages of 5 and puberty were chosen to serve the goddess Artemis in her sanctuary at Brauron. They were labelled as ‘little bears’ and they acted out the role of untamed animals that would eventually be domesticated by marriage. Ensuing the self-perception of a young girl in Classical Greece was manipulated through behavioural instruction in the home, through the myths that reiterated social values, and through their participation in rituals that educated them in the values and morals of their…
