Pompeii contained a temple to Apollo who was also associated with the cult of the Emperor following an edict from the Emperor Augustus attributing his win at Actium to this god. Herakles is the central figure on two frescos from the college of the Augustales at Herculaneum and is associated with the Roman goddesses Minerva and Juno. A marble statue of Athena was found in the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum. The temple in the Triangular forum, an original temple of the sixth century BC was probably dedicated to Hercules (Herakles) who was worshipped by both Greeks and Samnites before being appropriated by the Romans. The specifically Roman deities adapted from the Greek original such as Zeus, were the Capitoline triad of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva.
Other similarity is that Genesis says that God created the man from the dust and in the Popol Vuh myth the four gods created the man out of the flesh. In Genesis, God created nature and the world before humans. In Popul Vuh, humans were the last official creations. In addition, both creations seemed to either defy or dissatisfy the Gods or God in some way. In both stories the gods or God struck down a flood as a symbol of their anger as well.
), inspect its inner wall, the like of which no one can equal (lines 11-12). These text describe the walls and how the city Uruk was built by a mighty being like Gilgamesh. This at the end describing the city and certain thing built by Gilgamesh such as the Temples, Gardens, and the league (probably referring to the ocean or body of water). Another passage from I is the 3rd passge from which the people of Uruk prayer to he gods. This passage shows how the people of Uruk don’t enjoy Gelgamesh as a king due to how he treats his people for ex.
Leto who is one of Zeus’ wives is the mother of the great god. “But they trembled greatly and were afraid, and non dared to receive Phoibos, even the more fertile ones, until indeed queenly Leto came to Delos” (HHAp47-49).Several prosperous lands refused Leto based on a rumour that Apollo will be “brutally violent and tyrannical” (Clay 35).Essentially, Leto has to make a deal with Delos; which is a poor island before it
Zeus wouldn’t help those who lied or those who were dishonest (Hamilton 27). Also, Zeus was angry with men, so he made women as a punishment, and he made unmarried men cursed, so that they would grow old without anyone to care for them. This could have affected why women didn’t have as
The Epic of Gilgamesh is notably one of the oldest surviving works of literature ever written. It gives us a beautiful insight into the lives of people that lived approximately around 18th Century BC in ancient Mesopotamia. This epic tells us the story of Gilgamesh who is a demi god (two thirds god and one third human) and rules over a city state by the name of Uruk. The Epic is also a moving tale of friendship between Gilgamesh, the demigod king of Uruk, and a wild man named Enkidu. Accepting one’s own mortality is the central theme of the epic as Gilgamesh and Enkidu find their highest purpose of existence in the pursuit of eternal life.
But, on the bible the flood was intended for all of mankind with the exception of Noah and his family and due to man’s wickedness to Yahweh (God), but in the epic of Gilgamesh it was intended only for one city and all mankind and due to excessive man noise that disturb the Gods. In the Bible Yahweh had chosen Noah due to his righteousness but in the epic of Gilgamesh an assembly of gods chose a person named Utnapishtim in a dream but for no reason given. Both men were ordered to build a boat but Noah, which was building the boat only with the help of his family and took him 100 years due to the larger size, try to convince the people to change their evil ways and to repent to avoid the judgment, but by the contrary, Utnapishtim was told to lie to the neighbors so they could help him build a smaller boat in only seven days without knowing the truth. Both of the boats had many compartments inside, covered by tar with pitch on the outside, at least one window and only one form of entry. Noah’s boat was allowed to harbor family members only but Utnapishtim had his Family and few other people that helped him build the boat.
This is significant because the gods did interfere with the lives of the “mortals”, which caused Odysseus and his men to arrive home in 9 days instead of many more. Also, by the gods interfering and being in the “mortals” everyday life, the “mortals” look to them for advice and miracles by sacrificing them, which encourages the gods to help. Some gods tend to aide “mortals” more then help them, unlike others; Athena disguised herself as a young Sheppard boy who happened to be walking by as Odysseus landed in Ithica. Quickly he ran to her offering gifts and said “I pray to you like a God” sensing who she was. Once again when “mortals” cross paths with gods on Earth, the gods share what they know with them.
