Observation Of Cassiopei The Seated Queen
I have chosen the constellation Cassiopeia: The Seated Queen. I chose this constellation because it was an unknown constellation to me until I studied the first lesson of Astronomy. The name Cassiopeia: The Seated Queen sparked my interest, and so I decided to find more information about this fascinating constellation. Cassiopeia is located in the Northern sky and is easily recognizable by its distinctive "M" shape. It is made up of five stars, the four brightest of which are: Alpha Cassiopeia, Beta Cassiopeia, Gamma Cassiopeia, and Delta Cassiopeia. It is bordered by Andromeda to the south, Perseus to the southeast, and Cepheus to the north. It is opposite the Big Dipper.
Cassiopeia Queen of Ethiopia was married to Cepheus King of Ethiopia

    Queen Hatshepsut Research Paper

    Queen Hatshepsut was born in 1508 BC, to King Thutmose I, as the sixth pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty. At age twelve she married her half-brother, Thutmose II, and became Queen. Together they had one daughter, Neferure, but since Hatshepsut was not able to produce a son, her stepson, Thutmose III, became the rightful heir to the throne. In 1479 BC, Queen Hatshepsut’s husband died, and Thutmose III became King with her acting as regent. For a long time, she stayed in the background and let the attention focus on Thutmose III, but later on, she declared herself as the Pharaoh of Egypt.…

    Marble Head of a Ptolemaic Queen

    This work of art is from the Greek, Hellenistic period, c. 270- 250 B.C.E. This fifteen inch marble bust corresponds to a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty according to the typical facial features of the ruling family at that time. The Ptolemaic dynasty occurred when there was a succession of Macedonian Greeks over Egypt from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C. until the annexation of Egypt by Rome and the suicide of Cleopatra VII in 30 B.C. Therefore, this head was most likely created to symbolize a Ptolemaic Queen. Its subject matter, the themes or ideas in a work of art distinct from its form, is not evident immediately. At first, one believes this to simply be a portrait of a woman typical of the time. Upon further research, it is believed that this head was created to represent a queen or even perhaps a goddess. Recently, it has been identified by different scholarly organizations as the head of Arsinoe II, who ruled with her brother Ptolemy II from 278 B.C.E. until her death in 270 B.C.E.1 (Met)…

    Similarities Between Lupus And Centaurus

    My favorite animals are owls and wolves. So, when I found that there were no constellations of owls (there should be, though, in my opinion), I chose the constellation of the wolf, or Lupus. This constellation also reminds me of Professor Lupin, who was also my favorite Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in the Harry Potter books. I think that J. K. Rowling intended that to be, since Lupus means Wolf in Latin. Lupus can be found between the constellations of Centaurus and Scorpius. The Lupus constellation is home to some remains of a supernova, some globular clusters, and the Retina Nebula. It also contains two stars that have planets.…

    What Kind Of Woman Was Queen Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator?

    What sort of woman was Queen Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator? The Romans described her as a temptress who beguiled men left and right and who was well known for her legendary beauty. They despised her because of her relationship with Julius Caesar and Marc Antony; two of some of the most powerful and distinguished men of Rome at that time. She was widely viewed as an evil seductress who enslaved the hearts of Caesar and Antony and led Antony to betray Rome and side with her against Emperor Octavian. However, Rome’s sexualized and somewhat bastardized version of this powerful Queen who stood at the forefront of history is not completely true, but typical for the era she lived in. People who personally knew her described her as not being that beautiful,…

    Research Paper Cleopatra

    Hardly any personalities from the Hellenistic period (323 BC – 31 BC) are as renowned as Cleopatra VII (69 BC – 30 BC), the Egyptian queen. The focus of a wide array of Western historical texts, music, poems, literature, and arts, Cleopatra has been widely portrayed as a Queen who ruled her subjects and her Roman lovers through sex and gender. Despite such portrayals, very little is known about Cleopatra and there are doubts among historians that such accounts are an inaccurate depiction of Cleopatra. This paper will research studies on Cleopatra to determine whether the accounts of her ruling through sexual liaisons are accurate or they are propaganda developed to tarnish her impeccable reputation.…

    The Women of the Aeneid

    The Roman epic of Virgil's Aeneid describes the hardship and misadventures of Aeneas and the Trojans quest from Troy to Italy. Like Homer’s famous epics, the Iliad and Odyssey, Virgil’s narrative style and structure portrays similar attributes in the finding of Rome. Aeneas encounters several women on his journey who play a significant role throughout this epic in assisting or destroying his journey to Rome. His representation of female characters provides the readers with a better understanding of gender politics and reasons why some female leaders failed. Each of Virgil's female characters demonstrates a combination of traits throughout the epic; however, such behaviors of these women tend to develop unwanted conflict due to emotions. Like in every great story the female characters tend to have a enormous influence on the main character in both positive and negative ways.…

    Daedalus And Icarus Analysis

    Ovid’s “The Story of Daedalus and Icarus” and Aristotle’s “On Happiness,” each devise and apply the Aristotelian mean to maintain the concept that one must keep a balance between two excesses in life so that humanity can avoid ultimate disaster, because Aristotle says we are a product of our parents, and if they fail, we will most likely follow in their footsteps. In Aristotle’s “On Happiness,” Aristotle analyzes the Aristotelian mean and about how we must keep a balance between two extremes in our life. In “The Story Daedalus and Icarus,” Daedalus tells Icarus to fly in the middle, not too low or too high, obviously a reference to the Aristotelian mean.…
