    This analysis of Robert Graves, The Greek Myths, was far from what I expected. The author begins with stating that he is a great admirer of Robert Graves and has always enjoyed reading the Greek Myths. However, he goes on to say that Robert Grave's take on the Greek Myths was geared towards a much younger demographic and that he leaves out a lot of " the really good stuff." The author also discusses one of Robert Graves’s most controversial works, "The White Goddess," and believes that most of it was from his own interpretation and that more evidence to back up his interpretations should have been included. Overall, the author summarizes his analysis by stating that he finds it difficult to recommend The Great Myths. He also says that although it is a good collection of myths, that they have been so condensed. He recommends to read Robert Graves novel, "King Jesus," and if you find that useful or interesting, that the Great Myths may be appealing.…

    Respected Storm God’s in ancient mythological literary works such as the Enuma Elish, The Baal Cycle, and both versions of the Illuyanka Myth play an important role in associating cultural beliefs with the defeat of chaos. These three works show a variety of ways in which the Storm God defeats dragon-like monsters and how the gods bestow their trust in the Storm God to maintain order, as the Storm God is the protector of all creation. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast these three literary works to demonstrate the defeat of order over chaos. In the Babylonian Enuma Elish, Marduk, the Storm God defeats the dragon-like monster Tiamat. In the Ugaritic Baal Cycle, the Storm God, Baal, defeats the serpent Yam. In both versions of the Illuyanka Myth, the Storm God defeats Illuyanka to restore order to the land. All three of these myths demonstrate the victory of a Storm God over a dragon-like monster in order to restore order over the chaos these monsters created.…

    One day, soon after man received fire, there was a large forest fire in Crete that the gods were not pleased with, they went to Hephaestus, god of fire, for an explanation. Hephaestus claimed he didn’t know who started it, as it wasn’t his doing. He then blamed the humans and their ignorance to this newly found tool. Zeus didn’t care, he said that if there were another disruption in the world due to fire he would be severely punished. Hephaestus was mad, he had already been thrown off Olympus for being ugly, now he was yet again blamed for something out of his control.…

    Choosing your subject: First, pick a topic that appeals to your particular interests, e.g., art, religion, laws, medicine, trade, family, social justice, philosophy, etc. Then you must pick a particular analytical approach. What will your subject tell us about the wider context of Ancient Near Eastern history? Helpful to your understanding of the Ancient Near Eastern history would be either economic, political, religious, cultural or social approaches. For instance, a social approach could include studies of philosophies or religion (e.g., What does the role of temple priests tell us about religion?) Narrow your topic to a particular time period. For example, if you want to take an economic approach, write on resources and trade and examine how trade is used by certain tyrannies. Keep your time span restricted so that your paper has a clear focus. The more narrow the topic, the better the paper. Avoid papers that are mere description, chronology of events, or straight…

    Though there are many versions of the Greek creation myths, the most complete is a poem called the Theogony (Birth of the Gods) by the poet Hesiod. Hesiod lived around the late eighth or early seventh century B.C. and composed this poem circa 700 B.C. in the Epic dialect of Homeric Greek. The Theogony describes the origins and the establishment of polytheism and the vast variety of local Greek traditions concerning the gods. Hesiod's creation story describes the beginning of the universe as being covered in darkness. This darkness was the first Greek god, Chaos, a shapeless, mixed-up, dark entity. It was from Chaos that five divinities came into being; Gaia (the mother Earth), Tartarus (the underworld), Erebus (the darkness that covers the underworld), Night (darkness that covers the Earth), and Eros (Love). These divinities are classified as the first generation of gods and they organised the muddle that was Chaos, also creating further forces in the process. A few of these forces include, Doom, Death, Murder, Slaughter, Battle, Misery, Crime, Light, etc. The second generation of gods are known as the Titans; the children of Uranus (the sky) and Gaia. After a violent conflict between…

    I do agree with this week’s speaker Sarah Lightheart one-hundred percent; I think that health is so hard to define because of the fact, there are so many different aspects of health. Health is not just eating right, exercising, and being social every now and again. There are six different dimensions of health that need to have some sort of balance in order to achieve the optimal level of health in oneself to in turn be healthy. To me, health does not mean that it you are lacking a little in one area of the six aspects of health that you are an unhealthy person, I feel that there needs to be more of a balance within all six dimensions. In addition, every aspect does not need to be at a maximum level for a person to be healthy; I personally focus more on the emotional, physical, spiritual, and social aspects of health and the rest just fall into place for me. With the exception of environmental health aspect, I do want I can but, I do not go out of my way to be more healthy in the environmental dimension, in which I do need to find more of a balance. In conclusion, the definition of health to me is a balance of all six dimensions of health I believe that each person has their own personal levels they need to maintain to be healthy, Every human has their own individual traits to be healthy, and what makes one person healthy may not do the same for…

    Star Wars Battlefront

    I've been bouncing around a little with the new canon Star Wars book, having skipped couple due to getting my hands on them. I'm hoping I can eventually get back to the older ones releases and give them a read and review. For now though, I'm reviewing the latest Star Wars book to come out, Battlefront: Twilight Company, which has been released to coincide with the Star Wars Battlefront video game. Because the game doesn't have a story, the book acts as a way for fans to get some much-needed action and story under the Battlefront name. The book excels at delivering the thrills, having the story follow a group of soldiers fighting for the Rebels under the group name Twilight Company. The story also jumps over the Empire side of things and gives us a pretty neat look at the life of a Stormtrooper.…

    In Schelling's exposition, at first this story takes form in the struggle between the many faces of Kronos and Dyonisus. Where the first represents the regressive forces opposing our reintegration with God, Dyonisus is in Schelling's account of mythology the educator of humankind, he who fights against the tyrannical deities of reification. After the fall, the divided and rigid first potency, -A now to be known as B, fights against and is each time defeated by its equivalent of the second potency, now A2. This is the struggle between the reified old symbols and the coming of the new objectifications. Schelling acknowledges this conflict as underlying all mythological religions, and sees each victory of Dyonisus as pushing mythology onto the…

    Epic of Gilgamesh notes

    • 1380 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Evidence from the selection that proves this POV is Third person. Although the first tablet was told in Gilgamesh’s point of view, this epic was spoken by an unknown narrator for most of the story. This narrator spoke of Gilgamesh as a hero and never criticized him. In the story there were many "He said, she said, he did, she did" so then this would be considered 3rd person. Since the narrator and the reader/listener are not in the story but are looking in on the action, so this would be a 3rd person omniscient.…

    “It’s a Myth.” A term commonly used today but what does it mean? It is a term used to describe the questions humans cannot answer such as the explanation of the meaning of the universe or why we are here. Myths reflect human nature, with its needs and desires, hopes and fears (Rosenberg, 2006). Academically myths are studied to understand the anthropology of past cultures. My definition of a myth is tales or stories passed down from generation to generation that gives us our beliefs and guiding principles which we use to determine how we will interact with the world.…
