  • Ovid And Medea

    1087 Words  | 3 Pages

    As one of the most well known ancient Roman love poets, Ovid has demonstrated bountiful talents within his writing. When reading myths from his book titled Metamorphoses, you gain an enlightening insight of how he viewed mythology. To Ovid, love was the origin of everything. Therefore, it should not come as a surprise that most of his poems relate to the theme of love. However, not all poets are the same and every re-telling of a myth has its own unique perspective. In this paper I will compare and contrast the myth of Medea in Euripides Medea and Ovid’s Metamorphoses Book 7. I will then explain how Ovid’s approach to love and loss correlate to his general approach to myth as a whole. I will support my belief with evidence from Ovid’s Metamorphoses Book 14.

  • The Craftiness of Athena

    527 Words  | 2 Pages

    Athena, the Greek goddess of both wisdom and war, is often considered the craftiest of all Olympian gods. She was born of a headache, and erupted from Zeus’ head fully armed and ready for battle. However, beside all this pomp, she is a rather caring, if war-loving, immortal. Throughout the entirety of The Odyssey she conveys an entirely platonic, almost motherly love for Odysseus. It is this that makes her significant character in Homer’s work. In The Odyssey, Athena is portrayed as a, if not the, major female figure throughout the entire epic poem. With her affection for Odysseus and her frequent appearances she plays a major role throughout the entire poem. Evidence of this integral role will be presented as proof of her importance to the story.

  • What Is The Difference Between Athena And Poseidon

    824 Words  | 2 Pages

    A long time ago, the king of Athens, Cecrops was searching for a god to be the patron of Athens. There were two gods who had shown interest in filling this role, Athena and Poseidon and consequently each was invited to Athens for a competition that would select who was to become the patron of Athens. The competition they would partake in would be one of gifts, each was to bring one wonderful gift to the city of Athens; when the day came, they each came forward with their gifts. Poseidon presented his first, and holding aloft his trident he struck the ground from which sprung a magnificent spring which widened into a lake. Seeing his beautiful gift, the people of Athens grew excited at the allure of this beautiful lake, however, upon touching the water to their lips they were disgusted for the lake was made of salt water and therefore could not be drawn from. Next Athena presented Cecrops with a simple olive tree which she then planted into the ground, exclaiming that it would grow large and bear olives to eat and even for oil to fuel their lamps with. Upon seeing the two gifts the people made their decision, picking Athena as her gift was clearly the superior. In a rage, Poseidon retreated back into the sea, and in a fit of retaliation, he mustered a massive wave which flooded the Thriasian Plain (“Athena and Poseidon's Contest for Athens”). In

  • Greek Mythology: The Story Of Medusa And Perseus

    733 Words  | 2 Pages

    The story of Medusa and Perseus is known as one of the top thriller tales in Greek Mythology. To begin, Medusa is one of three sisters, Sthenno and Euryale. However, she is the only mortal one. Originally, Medusa had golden, long, beautiful hair. She was Athena’s Priestess and swore to a celibate life. Later on, Medusa met Poseidon, fell in love with him and completely forgot about her vows to Athena. The Goddess Athena was so infuriated that she turned Medusa into a hideous looking monster. Her golden locks became venomous snakes and her face became so grotesque that any God or immortal to look into her eyes would become a statue of stone. Athena did this so Medusa would not attract any man. The same came for her sisters because Poseidon

    One of the most notorious love affairs of Poseidon involves his sister, Demeter. Poseidon pursued Demeter and to avoid him she turned herself into a mare. In his lust for her, Poseidon transformed himself into a stallion and captured her. Their procreation resulted in a horse, Arion. Poseidon is Greek for "Husband" (possibly of wheat), and therefore it is thought that he and Demeter (goddess of wheat) are a good match because they reign as the god and goddess of fertility.

  • Xenia And Free Will In Homer's Odyssey

    In the very beginning, Athena begins meddling in the life of Telemakhos, Odysseus’ son: “With this Athena left him as a bird rustles upward off and gone. But as she went she put a new spirit in him, a new dream of his father, clearer now, so that he marveled to himself divining that a god had been his guest” (I. 368-373). Since the beginning, Athena masters a plan to bring Telemakhos and Odysseus back together. Athena visits Telemakhos in a disguise of Mentes, Odysseus’ friend. During this part of the plot, Athena began her plan when she gave Telemakhos hope his father was alive and the desire to go look for him. Athena plays a huge role in The Odyssey as the god who interferes the most: “If grey-eyed Athena loved you the way she did Odysseus in the old days in Troy country, where we all went through so much-never before have I seen the gods help any man as openly as Athena did your father” (III. 235-239). When Lord Nestor proclaims these words to Telemakhos, Athena’s contest divine intervention is verified. After Telemakhos and Odysseus complete their journeys, Athena meddles in final days of the suitors. Athena disguises Odysseus as a poor beggar. Odysseus the beggar confronts the suitors who then mock and torment Odysseus. A real beggar soon arrives and the two beggars are challenged to a fight. However, when Odysseus appears weak, Athena steps in: “Athena stood nearby to give him hulk and power, while the young suitors watched with narrow eyes” (XVIII. 83-85). Before the fight, Athena made Odysseus look very strong in front of all the suitors and the beggar causing them to fear the beggar Odysseus. Athena would not stop meddling in the lives of the suitors and Odysseus. Athena has a goal to get the suitors to fight Odysseus and Telemakhos, but Odysseus was not getting enraged enough: “They, for their part, could not now be still or drop their mockery-for Athena wished

    Because Medea was such a different woman people in her society were afraid of her, including men. As a result of this, before Jason, she never experienced being in love. When she finally experienced this type of love she went to no end for Jason. To protect Jason and her love for him she killed the beast guarding the Golden Fleece, she killed her brother, and she left her home, family and everything she knew for him. Most women would not have gone that far for love, especially women during her time; but Medea was not your average woman. All of the things she did for Jason will come into play, and partly account for her actions at the end of the play.
