This complaint written by her hand was found in the Greeklands: I hear that in the Greek lands they write great dramas about the struggle between man and the Gods. In this story, I Orual, Queen of Glome will do the same and make my fury against the God of the Grey Mountain known to all. I am old and have lived life to the place where I no longer fear the Gods. Let them kill me if they will. And all will see that the Gods give no answer...
Medusa has been in many myths since ancient times, even being shown in movies. She has changed in some ways and in others she has stayed true to the orginal myth. In the orginal myth Medusa was turned into a gorgon because she and her sisters boasted they were more beautiful than Athena and because Poseidon raped Medusa in one of Athena's temples. In the Lighting Thief it was just because the couple defiled Athena's temple. In both myths Medusa and her sisters are punished by turning into horrible beast.
The death of Baldar is the first indication that Ragnarok is approaching. After three terrible winters and much fighting the high ones will be destroyed and the world burned to the ground. After the endless winters one man, Lif, and one woman Lifthrasir, survive become the parents of the next race of human beings. In Greek mythology after the Chaos arose Gaia a divine being and supreme mother. She gave birth to her equal Uranus without the assistance of a male figure.
The Spartan King declared the war an angry voice against Troy, and then the movie story flows as you know well. However, according to Greek myth, There was something else beyond the human’s affairs which triggered the war, which was concerned with Greek gods and goddesses. Gods and goddesses in Olympus are mostly famous for their graceful and beautiful appearance, there is, however, always an exception, and Eris was the very one. She had such an ugly looking that gods and goddesses in Olympus were reluctant to be with her. The event happened on Zeus and Hera’s wedding anniversary day.
For several months, Athena grew inside of Zeus's head which gave him huge headaches. One day the pain became so unbearable, he finally he ordered Hephaestus, the god of fire, to cut open his head. Just as his head split, out sprung a tall, slim, goddess wearing a suit of armor with the helmet pulled back just enough to reveal her beauty. The manner she made her entrance to the world in, gave her the mark of a warrior goddess. To this day, she is portrayed with her spear in one hand and shield in the other, these objects became her symbols.
According to many versions of the story, Zeus took the form of a swan and seduced Leda on the same night she had slept with her husband. In other versions, she laid two eggs from which the children had hatched from. Contrary from these versions, some believe that Helen is a daughter of Nemesis, the goddess who personified the disaster which awaited those suffering from the pride of Hubris. Following this myth chronologically, Leda was a contemporary of Hercules, who had set her husband Tyndareus on the throne of Sparta. Her mortal sons joined the expedition of the Argonauts and the Kalydonian Boar Hunt, albeit at a very young age, while her daughters, Helene and Klytaimnestra, were wives of Trojan War heroes.
She’s also the patron of hunters (“Artemis”, Columbia). Apollo was born on the Island of Delos with his twin Artemis. When Hera (Zeus’s other lover) discovered that Leto was pregnant with Zeus’s offspring, she was so jealous that she sent a serpent after Leto to prevent Leto from delivering her children safely. Leto eventually found solace in the island Delos (formerly known as Ortygia). Artemis was born first, and she helped her mother through nine days of labor while she gave birth to Apollo (Osborn and Burgess 89).
The hammering caused such a headache for Zeus that he ordered Hermes to cut his head open and remove the source of the pain. As soon as his head was cut open, Athena jumped out, fully grown and clothed in a helmet and armour. Athena's appearance is always described as having gray eyes which were shining. She would always be accompanied by an owl. An owl is a symbol of wisdom and is a bird that has the capability of seeing in the dark.
When he got to medusa’s lair he crept up on her, looking at her reflection in his shield and sliced off her head. He put the head in his bag and took it back to Polydictes’ palace. There, he took it out of the bag turning all the people to stone and freed his mother. KEY GODS AND GODDESSES The goddess in the story is Athena because she helped Perseus by giving him a shield. She is the god of war and battle strategy.
This later on found out by Menelaus and the war eventually began. This totally differs from the epic because it was already nine years since the strife started that the story began. On the first encounter at the shore of the kingdom of Troy, Menelaus and Paris decided to settle the impending war between them since it all originated from a single woman they both desired. So the two fought and as depicted also in Iliad, Paris lost, but as he about to be killed by Menelaus, he ran off and search protection from his brother. Hector, as loving brother as he was, stabbed Menelaus by his sword, ending his life.
