The mortals screw up too but the gods can control so much and is responsible for a lot more than mortals. Mortals screw ups don’t do to much damage. But with the gods it like they get really angry and whoops earthquake. For this war I blame Hera‚ Athena‚ Aphrodite‚ and Zeus. The king of Olympus screws up a lot for a king. Most of the

The symposium presents a set of cases for love. Different views of love are being expressed‚ in a variety of ways to think. In comparing Diotima’s influenced Socrates’ views on love and Pausanias’ views we find two completely different ways of thinking. Diotima seems to make a much stronger case and many would agree that she might have even just made the best case for love on the night.

I believe Neferet as another side to her‚ as a result of her being awful to Aphrodite and being involved with the “ghosts” somehow. Neferet doesn’t seem to believe Aphrodite’s visions anymore. The

In addition to these supernatural powers‚ the gods have the benefit of immortality. Immortality is the birthright that primarily separates gods from mortals and thus‚ it is the most precious of supernatural powers. Gods such as Zeus‚ Thetis‚ and Aphrodite have sexual relationships with mortals and their children are born as demigods: half human‚ half god.

Once she was taken‚ Menelaus declared war and that where the nickname for Helen came from. She was known as the “Face that launched a thousand ships.” (Bell).
