    Hercules of 1997 got put together by one of the popular Disney directors, Ron Clements and John Musker. Their earlier works include “The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” and “The Great Mouse Detective,” which were movies that were astoundingly successful Disney movies that almost everyone enjoyed watching. Hercules without a doubt is one of my top Disney favourite movies, because of its really pop and melodious songs, and its simple yet very intricate plotline.

  • The Character Differences of Hesiod's Zeus and ovid's Jupiter

    930 Words  | 2 Pages

    There is no doubt in mythology that the king of gods, Zeus, is the most supreme and powerful, ruling the sky. He controls the thunderbolt, a symbol of power feared by both gods and mortals. The Greeks and Romans honored Zeus above all other gods. He is without mistake, the god of all gods. Their stories of Zeus are plenty; his designs have molded mythology from his birth. Zeus' victory in outwitting his intelligent wife, Metis, by swallowing her pregnant, was the gateway used by the Greeks and Romans to show Zeus as the greatest god to come since his father and grandfather. However, as the stories of the gods and goddesses unfold, the Greeks and Roman's interpretation of Zeus' characteristics are different. Zeus is always upheld as the king of gods, but his other personal attributes to his godly rein are conflicting. Zeus' characteristics of fearfulness of female deities, cunningness and use of trickery, and lust in Ovid's Metamorphoses compared to the Theogony are opposed due to Hesiod's true respect of Zeus versus Ovid's lack of respect of Jupiter in Roman mythology.

  • Compare And Contrast Zeus And Dionysus

    1159 Words  | 3 Pages

    I decided to analyze the similarities and differences between the two gods: Zeus and his son Dionysus. Even though Dionysus is of the same lineage of Zeus, this does not mean they share all of the same characteristics of one another. They differ greatly in attitude, appearance and morals. Zeus is considered the king of all gods, and he proudly uses his powers for his own amusement and pleasure, often at the expense of others lives. Whereas, Dionysus is the god of wine and fertility and he uses his powers to bring both pleasure and an escape from the grief that plagues ones mind but this can come at a cost leading the consumer to become unpredictable and easily influenced through overindulgence and addiction.

    “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” includes a young, not Gary Busey, George Clooney at his finest playing, Ulysses Everett McGill. Ulysses is a fun character with a conman personality leading his crew to the treasure of a life time. The story takes place during the time of the great depression and Ulysses and his two fellow convicts escape from prison at the start of their journey. Throughout the movie, the three main characters go on an adventure to “secure the treasure”, with Ulysses depicted as their leader. He makes the men believe that fortune is in their future when, in reality, they are helping Ulysses get back to his wife before she remarries. The clock is ticking for our adventurers, as they do everything possible to make it on time. The

  • Comparing Kafka's Poseidon And Prometheus

    850 Words  | 2 Pages

    The bizarre is endlessly fascinating, and Franz Kafka’s work is no exception. It pulls you in, glances dismissively at you, and spits you out, leaving you wondering what it knows that you do not. There is something at once familiar and deeply unsettling about his work, leading to the creation of a new word: Kafka-esque, meaning that something has a twisted, complex, nightmarish quality. Kafka’s longer works are invariably more bizarre, as there is more space and time for the work to develop. When a work is only 76 words like “Kleine Fabel”, however, each word has far more impact and significance. As such, Kafka deliberately chose each word, and each word in turn holds significance and meaning beyond a simple translation. In analyzing translations

  • Poseidon: Greek God Of Water, Earthquakes And Sea

    88 Words  | 1 Pages

    Poseidon is the Greek God of all bodies of water, earthquakes, and horses. He and his brothers (Zeus and Hades) split up the regions of the world between each other. Ocean storms is also something that Poseidon is held accountable for. Sailors would pray that they would have a safe journey to Poseidon. Poseidon’s trademark symbol is the trident (a spear that has 3 spikes instead of 1). While people now tend to fish with a hook and fishing pole, the Greeks used to spear fish with tridents.

  • Poseidon

    662 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the time of Cornus and the Titans, Nereus was the sea god. Before retreating to his own underwater cave, Nereus gave one of his fifty nymph daughters, Amphitrite to Neptune ( Parin D’ Aulaire 114). Just like his brother Zeus, Poseidon was quite the lady’s man. One of his rather scandals acts was his love affair with the gorgon, Medusa. He and Medusa conceived one of the most famous creatures known to mythology, Pegasus, the winged stallion and his brother, Chysaor. A great hero known as Thesus was conceived when Poseidon raped Aethra. Above all, his love affair with his sister, Demeter is one of the most infamous love affairs in mythology. Since he fell in love with his sister, Demeter was doing the right thing and attempted to hide from him as she transformed into a mare. After Poseidon noticed, he decided to shape shift into one his famous symbols, the horse. Eventually, he was able to capture Demeter in his stallion form. Then, Demeter and and Poseidon produced a horse, Arion (Sellers 1). With another sea-nymph, Thoosa, Poseidon fathered possibly one of the most famous monsters, Ployphemus Cyclops, who was a one eyed creature (“Poseidon” Para. 6). For the reason that Poseidon was quite ...

  • Compare Aeneas And The Odyssey

    1405 Words  | 3 Pages

    There has been much debate on who is the greatest hero of the ancient world. There has also been much dispute on which is the greatest epic poem of the ancient world. However, comparing The Aeneid to The Odyssey is entirely a difficult task itself. Odysseus' journeys, both physical and emotional, are essential in the overall work because it defines The Odyssey as an epic poem. Aeneas also shares a similar experience as Odysseus as well. Both stories are similar in countless ways because they both undergo comparable experiences on their travels and their life journeys. With that being said, they both demonstrated leadership in their own way. However, it is difficult to determine who the best leader actually is. Both men exhibit great leadership skills; therefore, causing a challenge for some in determining which the greater epic is. After analyzing both texts, it is possible to conclude that Aeneas is the better leader, but The Odyssey is the greater epic.

  • Compare And Contrast Achilles And Hector

    1159 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the poem, Iliad, Achilles and Hector both show relative heroism in their own different ways. Achilles may have been the more popular hero, but Hector had great heroism as well. Each of these characters possess their own different strengths and weaknesses. These two characters both have pride as being one of their main weaknesses. Hector seems as if he would suit best in the modern world, but there are a few different reasons as to why the ancients may have chose Achilles. Hector and Achilles both lost a lot by letting their pride get in the way of their heroism. Both of these characters were their country’s best warrior. Achilles and Hector have very different personalities, and very different ways of approaching situations.

    In Homer’s epic, the Iliad, the legendary, has no two characters that are so similar yet so different as Greek warrior, Achilles, and the Prince of Troy, Hector. Achilles is the strongest fighter in the Greek side, and Hector is the strongest Trojan. They are both put into the mold of a hero that their respective societies have put them into; however; it is evident that they are both extremely complex characters with different roles within their society and with their families, and with the gods.
