Fate is the development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power. While will refers to a property of the mind, and an attribute of acts intentionally committed. Actions made according to a person's will are called willing or voluntary. One of the recurring questions is the question of "free will", and the related but more general notion of fate, which asks how will can be truly free if the actions of people have natural or divine causes which determine them, but which are not really under the control of people. The question is directly connected to discussions of what Freedom is, and also the "problem of evil", because it brings into question whether people really cause their own acts. Fate and Will, two different forces. What if these two powers will oppose each other? Fate vs. Will…

Apollo is hardly portrayed in a negatively light, mostly poetic and beautiful.…

They appear in Renaissance paintings such as Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and Raphael’s Triumph of Galatea and writings like Dante’s Inferno; Romantic poetry and libretti; and scores of more recent novels, plays and films.” I think that it is great that the ancient Greeks came up with these myths. When I first started reading and listening about the Greek myths, I thought they were totally absurd. However, I now think that some myths tell entertaining stories and teach great lessons. Through this paper I will tell you about one of the myths we share today in our culture, share what Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung had to say about mythic structures of the human psyche, and explain why myths such as these bring us together socially and culturally.

Although I had visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art before, I had never really taken the time to really look at the statues that they had displayed. I knew that this time around I had to take my time and I had to make sure I paid attention to art that the museum had to offer. What I was mainly looking for was some type of statue or art that alluded to what I had learned in mythology class. As I walked around I encountered at bronze statue of Eros sleeping. Cupid, Eros name, which most people call him, is a little boy and he is sleeping. I began to think about information about Eros that I already knew and what I wanted to find out.…
