Brutus is said to have "founded a second Troy- Troia Nova (Trinovantum) on the banks of the Thames" where he "defeated an army of giants and chained their leaders, Gog and Magog, to be his porters." Basically Brutus is the crude Abraham or Moses of the Britons as far as ancestry is concerned.

Because of the intervention, the gods start the war between Trojans and Achaeans and the reason of the war leads them to take sides. Homer represents the gods in many aspects; as humanlike, having miraculous actions, super being, controlling, life savers, and disguisers. Around 700 BC, the poet Hesiod’s Theogony wrote the first cosmogony, or origin story, of Greek mythology. The poet tells the story of the universe’s journey from nothingness to being, and details a family tree of gods and goddesses who evolved from Chaos and descended from Earth, Sea, Sky and the Underworld.

I will demonstrate that Zeus, the Greek myth god, and Marduk, the spitting image of Zeus in the Mesopotamian stories, have many similar and different characteristics, but both seem to have a similar purpose because of their power, identity, and other leadership roles and ideals. Marduk, who is said to be very handsome with limbs well made, with fire from his mouth, as well as his huge four ears and four huge eyes, is the son of Ea and Damkina. Marduk is known as the chief god in Babylon and later declared as “Lord of Universe” by other gods. Marduk had many encounters, but the encounter with Tiamat helps demonstrate how powerful and mighty Marduk truly was. After many other attempts by others, Marduk agrees to fight Tiamat.

In the Greek poet Hesiod’s Theogony, gods and monsters (Cyclopes) also become more powerful with each succession, as in the Enuma Elish, and Zeus overthrows his father fulfilling the prophecy given by Heaven and Earth. In both the Enuma Elish and Hesiod’s Theogony, power is increased with each generation of succession and eventually culminates to a redistribution of powers. In the Enuma Elish this increase in power is first noted with the birth of Anshar and Kishar by stating that they, “… [Surpass] the others.” Their Heir, Anu, was also said to surpass them (“of his fathers the rival”) and Anu’s son, Nudimmud (Ea) was said to be, “…of his fathers the master.” But it is not until the birth of Marduk (Ea’s heir) that the power of the succession line seems to reach its peak. Marduk is described as “unsuited for understanding”, and “filled with awesomeness”. He is said to be ,“perfect” and that, “greatly exalted was he above them.” It is Marduk that has the courage out of the gods to battle his great-great gra... ... middle of paper ... ...n occurs when the Storm God’s son retrieves his father’s heart and eyes and restores them to him.
