Daedalus is a famous sculptor / architect in ancient greece who is sent his nephew, Talus. Talus had created a saw out of fish bones, and a compass. Envious of Talus, Daedalus pushes him off a cliff, killing him. Being scared senseless of what he had done, he flees to Crete. Daedalus is then asked by King Minos to create a labyrinth to contain his minotaur. Scared that he might reveal the secret of this new labyrinth, King Minos keeps Daedalus from ever exiting the island. He wants to escape, but the land and sea are blocked by the king’s troops. He gets the idea to build a pair of wings and fly away alongside his son, Icarus. After building two sets of wings made of feathers and wax, Daedalus warns Icarus not to be reckless with tears streaming
Theseus, The Great Athenian hero, was the son of Dianae and King Aegeus. Theseus had something that not many children at his age didn’t have, “he grew up strong far beyond others” (210). When he was young his father, King Aegeus, set a hollow sword and a pair of shoes and placed a great
The Daphnia magna species in this experiment were kept and preserved in jars of suitable water that acted as small ponds. Each Daphnia Magna was transported individually using a wide-mouthed pipette to a depression slide. The stability of the Daphnia Magna on the slide was attained by using a drop of pond water that acted as a boundary of movement for the Daphnia on the depression slide, small pieces of cotton wool were also used to act as an extra boundary to stop the Daphnia Magna from swimming in circles in the pond drop it was placed in; the stability factor was important in counting the heart beat rate more accurately. The depression slide was then placed under the stereomicroscope, over a cooling chamber that was used to slow down the
The use of model organisms in pre clinical trial is relied upon for the collection of safety and efficacy data prior to first in human clinical studies. The crustacean Daphnia magna is one model organism, whose heart rate is reported to react similarly to the human heart rate, when exposed to identical compounds (3).
Not Knowing that Theseus was his son he had planned on poising him. Theseus then pulled his sword on the king, king Aegeus instantly recognized the sword and proclaimed to the city of Athens that Theseus is his son and heir. Years before Theseus had arrived to Athens the king of Crete Minos’ son, Androgeus was visiting the Athenian King Aegeus. Aegeus, “he had sent his guest on an expedition full of peril to kill a dangerous bull” (Hamilton 2. 211). Unfortunately Mino’s son had died on the expedition and Minos acted violently and invaded the country capturing Athens. He declared that he would destroy the city unless every nine years the people sent him a tribute of seven maidens and seven youths to the Labyrinth for the Minotaur to devour them. The year had came for the sacrifices for the Minotaur, Theseus at once came forward and offered himself to be one of the victims, in hope of killing the Minotaur in order to stop the sacrifices and save his
His mother placed a pair of shoes and a sword so that when he was old enough and strong he would be sent to Athens. Once he started to grow up and go through maturity he could push the rock to aside, grabbed the sword and put on the shoes and began his long journey to Athens. Later when Minos beats the Athens they had a punishment that every nine years they had to send seven boys and girls into the labyrinth with the Minotaur. Theseus offers himself and if he lives he will change his black sail to a white one so on his return to Aegeus so they will know if he is alive.

Icarus is a Greek mythology written during a period when people did not possess a great knowledge of how the world worked. As a result, this story may have appeared to be implausible and unrealistic. This implausible characteristic of Icarus was further broken down by the literary element allusion. For instance, allusion gave readers the impression that Icarus is a greed-filled character who went against his father and made the mistake by flying too close to the sun. However, at the same time, when comparing it to the more plausible elements, Icarus was portrayed as a character who never gave up his dreams and should have flew as close to the sun as possible.
The most scientific name for this little water flea is called the Daphnia, a very small planktonic crustacean that measures up to five millimeters long. Daphnia are part of the Cladocera family, which are small crustaceans of all sorts commonly called water fleas. The Daphnia are called water fleas because the movements they make are very similar to the way fleas move around. Daphnias “inhabit most types of standing fresh water except for extreme habitats, such as hot springs.” Many of these creatures live as filter feeders but some can be found clinging onto water plants or skimming the very bottom of the shallow pond.
Athena inspired Odysseus to build a hollow wooden horse. He was to make the horse taller and
Odysseus’ has hubris and excessive pride in himself, the gods he believes in, and his accomplishments, which hold him back and do not allow him to reach hero potential. The pride that Odysseus has in his name is visible throughout his entire tale he is telling to the Phaiakians and King Alkinoos. Starting the story of his journey, Odysseus already begins to display his hubris when he explains to his hosts who he is and where he hails from. After stating that he is the son of King Laertes of Ithaka, Odysseus shares that, “Men hold me formidable for guile in peace and war: this fame has gone abroad to the sky’s rim” (IX, 21-23). He believes that he is so well known that the Phaiakians should know him from t...

In situations where brute force has failed, Odysseus uses his craftiness to create a plan and escape a difficult situation. Without his cleverness, Odysseus would not be able to survive. An example of Odysseus’ inventiveness is demonstrated in the following quote:

The story of the Minotaur is interesting, extraordinary in a strange way and mysterious. In Greek Mythology, Greek People believed that the Minotaur is born as half human and half bull, his body was a human and his head was a bull because of his mother was in love with a bull. For this purpose, the legend of Minotaur was born. This monster was basically useless; all he did was killing and eating people when he became hungry since he had no source for food.
