They both shared the same sort of tragedy. “She plunged into her heart the sword that was still wet with his life’s blood” (Ovid 489). Shakespeare utilized this double

the creation of the universe came from a God who would create the world and everything in it. In the ancient cultures‚ the Greeks and Romans had many different versions of how the universe was created but most looked to the versions by Hesiod and Ovid. Hesiod was a famous oral poet in Ancient Greece. He is thought to have lived between 750 and 650 BC‚ but no one knows for sure.

Hecuba is also mentioned in Homers Illiad‚ however‚ Ovid gives Hecuba a passion and depth that the Illiad version lacks. In Ovid‚ Hecuba is a grieving mother and widow‚ who witnessed the death of her family. This drives the poor woman insane‚ and who can blame her. She attacks the murderer and savagely tears the man to pieces using only her

thoroughly shows how the arrogance of a mortal to an immortal will lead to their downfall. The Gods show mortals that their divinity must be respected and acknowledge. The refusal to acclaim them can end up in being made an example. I thoroughly enjoyed how Ovid positioned the story to where a mortal queen‚ Níobe‚ thought of herself as being superior to Latón‚ a goddess and mother of Zeus’s children. With the story of Arachne being mentioned within the first couple of sentences‚ I knew the outcome would end
