There is no doubt in my mind that Acheron felt the same way. “I don’t like your hair black.” Artemis stated. The fact that she could not have him look exactly the way she wanted made her very upset at times. When love is involved, it is easy to allow yourself be abused believing it is for the best of that relationship. Acheron loved Artemis so much that he was willing to allow her dark side to inflict scars emotionally and internally, which is extremely saddening.
Most readers found it hard to point out the main point because of the way idea are presented within the text. The author didn’t do a good job with the flow of ideas because in the beginning of the story, he exposed the readers to the main character shame behavior. The main character Achilles refuse to fight with the Greeks because king Agamemnon took the girl (Briseis) that was given to him as a prize for being a great soldier. When asked to go fight the Trojan, Achilles further responded “Well, I’m going back to Phthia now” (page 6). The author shouldn’t disgrace the main character in the beginning of the story if he were to praise him in later part of the story since, this confuse the readers.
As one of the few gods to be married of the Greek Pantheon she is frequently unfaithful to her husband. Hephaestus is one of the most even-tempered and humorless of the Hellenic Deities. Of her many lovers Aphrodite preferred Ares, the volatile god of war as she was attracted to his violent nature according to the narrative embedded in the Odyssey. She is one of a few characters who played a major part in the original cause of the Trojan War itself: not only did she offer Helen of Troy to Paris, but the abduction was accomplished when Paris, seeing Helen for the first time, was inflamed with desire to have her—which is Aphrodite's realm. In the novel The Golden Ass, Lucius Apuleius written in the second century A.D , Aphrodite poses as a secondary character in the Tale of Eros and Psyche.
Romeo and Juliet’s love is doomed not only by the world around them but also by its intensity, because it leads them to death, to be completely blind and oblivious to their lives, and it caused them to move too quickly. First of all, the love between Romeo and Juliet is doomed because it was strong enough to drive them to their tragic ends. The love that was shared between the two enemies was so odd and wrong that it made them do completely irrational things. They not only tried to kill themselves over each other, but they both succeeded in their ends. Juliet was so distracted by the needs of herself and Romeo that she tried to kill herself three times: first when Romeo is banished, then again to avoid marrying Paris, and finally when she stabbed herself.
Psyche was the major reason behind Orual’s actions because Orual was jealous that everyone noticed Psyche and never acknowledged her, and this would ultimately lead to the sacrificing of Psyche to the mountain god, Ungit. It is evident that Lewis portrays Psyche as a believably perfect person because she is very noble throughout Till We Have Faces(Abromaitis, 4246). These traits are shown when Psyche is referred to as a “goddess” by Redival, when she tries to nurse the Fox, a Greek slave purchased by the King to teach Redival, Orual, and Psyche various things, and when she met with Orual to plan the Fox’s escape. The first time Psyche shows her noble character was when Redival made fun of Psyche by saying, “Why don’t you honour the goddess?” to Orual. She said that quote in reference to Psyche’s action of kissing a woman’s baby when the woman claimed it would make her baby beautiful.
Violence is the most awful way in which someone could die. No one deserves to die in pain, no matter of the acts made in the past. In the case of “The Lottery”, Mrs. Hutchinson says, “It isn’t fair, it isn’t right, she screamed, and they went upon her”. (Jackson’s 324). On the other hand, in “The Jewbird” the author tells in
The mortals in the Odyssey are scared of the gods of their great power and influence in their lives. Therefore, they try to act in a manner which will not offend the Gods. The roles of the Gods and Goddesses are a mixture of good over evil which is important to any good story. The super-natural powers of the Gods enables the mortals to interact with them for good or bad. Odysseus was a favourite of the Gods and had most of them on his side and
Odysseus had many chances where he could have been given great glory but would just let other’s have the glory. Odysseus solved many problems while on his epic quest in the Odyssey where he had to use his knowledge and wisdom to save his shipmates. Although these small little adventures were not helping Greece to much Odysseus was able to stop others from getting hurt if they ever have to meet these terrible creatures and scenarios which helps Greek’s even a little. This just shows how when he isn’t even trying to stamp himself in history he does it

Admired in peace and dreaded in war, for much of the Archaic and Classical periods Sparta was the most powerful city in the Greek world. It was also different from other poleis. To be sure, the Spartans shared many basic institutions with other Greeks: their society was patriarchal and polytheistic, servile labor played a key role, and agriculture formed the basis of the economy. As elsewhere in Greece, law was revered and martial valor prized. Nonetheless, Sparta was unique in many important ways.
