Originally, the chief deities of Vesta, Jupiter, Mars and Venus did not have mythology in Rome (with many being quite animistic). As cultural fusion continued through the years, the Roman pantheon eventually made inroads to allow for compatibility between Roman and Greek religions, though this did not always work. Mars, the god of war, was one of the most important gods in
One aspect of his reign that is often seen in a positive light is the artistic reform that occurred in the Amarna period. Overall he had a short reign that did not achieve much, and yet did not leave much of a negative impact on Egypt. Akhenaten's reign brought about massive religious reform, deemed by most as a failure. His choice to switch from the traditional worship of many gods to the worship of only one god brought about massive social and political changes in Egypt. Certainly these changes were massive, quite abrupt and differed drastically from the norm; however that does not necessarily make them bad.
Justinian determination to revive the Roman culture was incredible but with all the changes he was making it didn’t really seem like the Roman culture was making its way back. There were many things that remained the same between the Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire but Justinian changed many things.

Another thing Justinian changed was the laws of the Roman Empire. Justinian believed that there were too many laws.
The Greek economy may not be doing so well nowadays but even tough they lack money in various areas they never let their cultural artifacts in a bad state. Many Greek citizen consider “forgetting about their cultural artifacts to take better care about the major economical problem”. Greek sculptures are also really famous and most of them were made on stone, marble, and limestone since these were abundant materials at the time.

Meghan Ruddlesden November 20, 2012 Essay #3 Frankenstein: The Film versus the Novel Frankenstein is a reoccurring legend that no one knows much information about. People see all of the versions of this classic “monster” today but do we truly know where the original creature came from? As a matter of fact, not many people know that the original Frankenstein was a book, not a movie or a TV show. The classic novel Frankenstein was written by Mary Shelley in 1818 which led to many interpretations and outlooks of the book.

Also belief in paganism would be more rewarding because, “God's blessing and favor are fickle. They can be rescinded without warning, leading to a life emptied of happiness” (130). In the end it seems the the poem has more pagan elements then Christian elements and that although biblical stories are a main part they are still not followed by Beowulf as much as his pagan virtues
Although conversely, the very dissimilar landscape between the two swayed their political growth. The mountainous terrain and numerous islands that make up Greece made it difficult for city-states to interact with each other, which resulted in each city-state growing individually. The ruling class of every city-state was against forming any kind of monarchy and defended their independence. Rome was very flat in comparison to the Greek terrain with mountains on the east side and what is now the Tyrrhenian Sea off to the west, which caused Rome to grow to become one huge city-state. Rome dealt with immigrants and intruders from the north and south.

The technological aspect of film changes the way the myth is distributed, but the core idea of the myth is the same. The basis of modern storytelling in both cinema and television lies deeply rooted in the mythological tradition. Many contemporary and technologically advanced movies often rely on ancient myths to construct narratives. The Disney Corporation is notorious among cultural study scholars for “reinventing” traditional childhood myths (Koven, “Folklore Studies and Popular Film and Television: A Necessary Critical Survey”, 176-195). While many films are not as obvious as Disney fairy tales in respect to the employment of myth, the plots of many films are largely based on the rough structure of the myth.
