Nero or Nero Claudius Ceasar Drusus Germanicus as his family called him was a roman emperor. Nero rained over Rome to October 13, 54 to June 9, 68. Nero was a cold blooded carless man that didn’t care about anybody but himself. Nero was adopted by Burrus and Seneca. He was a fat, weak and violent as a teen and didn’t like to be around people.
Still feeling terribly guilty Hercules searched for forgiveness. To receive forgiveness he needed to perform “The Labors of Hercules” (Hamilton). There were 12 labors and they were practically impossible. Hercules did indeed achieve to finish all 12 tasks. “He was taken to heaven, where he was reconciled to Hera and married to his daughter Hebe.” (Hamilton) None of this was mentioned in the movie but I think it was for a good
[2] The Greeks were ambivalent toward Ares: although he embodied the physical valor necessary for success in war, he was a dangerous force, "overwhelming, insatiable in battle, destructive, and man-slaughtering. "[3] Fear (Phobos) and Terror (Deimos) were yoked to his battle chariot. [4] In the Iliad, his father Zeus tells him that he is the god most hateful to him. [5] An association with Ares endows places and objects with a savage, dangerous, or militarized quality. [6] His value as a war god is placed in doubt: during the Trojan War, Ares was on the losing side, while Athena, often depicted in Greek art as holding Nike (Victory) in her hand, favored the triumphant Greeks.
An example of Evyn being unintelligent was when her so-called friends, Andrea’s group, calls her Evelyn and doesn’t talk to her unless it’s to ask about updates with Ajax, she doesn’t realize that they’re just using her. Evyn was also, very inconsiderate and selfish. She didn’t seem to notice how happy her father, Birdie was after he had proposed to Eleni. Evyn doesn’t seem to care what his father felt and made it harder for him. “Bounce” was an interesting book that showed problems that actually happen to 13 year olds.
Okonkwo and Macbeth are both heavily influenced by other characters, fuelled by the expectations of their societies, and driven to act based on their tragic flaw. The reason behind all the actions Okonkwo takes can be traced back to one person; his father. Okonkwo grew up hating Unoka’s laziness and he “was ruled by one passion- to hate everything that his father Unoka had loved” (Achebe 13). This led him to rule “his household with a heavy hand” (Achebe 13), and treat his family poorly. He is afraid to show affection, as seen with Ezinma and Ikemefuna.
Gods feared that because of her beauty, jealousy would disrupt the peace among them leading to war. Therefore Zeus married her to Hephaestus. Being the God of technology, blacksmith craftsmen, artisans, sculptures, metals, metallurgy, fire, and volcanoes did not pose a threat. Aphrodite never appeared to have a childhood, in every image and each reference she is born as an adult, nubile, and infinitely desirable. Aphrodite, in many myths involving her, is deemed as vain,
He was their only son. Odysseus did not want to go to the Trojan War so he pretended to be insane. Palamedes tested his insanity. He placed baby Telemachus in front of his father’s plow to see if Odysseus would hit his child. Of course, Odysseus failed and that proved to Palamedes he was mentally sane.
He is depressed, and in need of someone to talk to and to spend time with. His brother, Allie, was very important to him. When Allie died, Holden was a wreck, and is still affected by it today. He is also mad about his other brother, D.B., for leaving for Hollywood to become a “big time writer.” Holden is severely depressed by prior events in his life, and has no one to turn to for help and advice. In conclusion, the course of events that happened prior to Holden’s attending Pencey had changed who Holden was negatively, and this is apparent in his lack of attempt to become
Dipping wax wasn’t cutting it for Ben’s creative mind so he apprenticed at his brothers print shop when he was 12 despite his brothers harsh treatments. Ben’s brother would not publish any of Ben’s work so he made
It seems to numerous historians that only young people were allowed to participate. The Greek writer, Plutarch states that, “‘one young man was rejected for seeming too mature, and only after his boyfriend interceded with the king of Sparta, who presumably vouched for his youth, was he permitted to participate.’” Ancient athletes received no pay for participating, but had to train carefully for several months. In the end, the winner, (there were no second or third place winners), was given lavished
