Clytia then tells Leucothe’s father, King Orchamus, and in turn he allows his daughter to be buried alive (Parada).

Amorrell https://litwiki.org/index.php?title=Aigeus&diff=7320 2005-04-16T02:56:54Z

<p>Amorrell: /* Works Cited */</p> <hr /> <div>Aigeus was the king of Athens. Pandion was the father of Aigeus, Pallas, Nisos, and Lykos. Metion took the kingdom from Pandion and when Pandion died Pallas, Nisos, Lykos, and Aigeus took control of Athens. Aigeus then took complete control of the kingdom of Athens and ruled as the king.<br /> <br /> Aigeus did not have any male children with his first wife, Meta. He married a second wife, Chalciope, in hopes of having an heir. An heir was not produced by either wife; therefore, Aigeus decided to go to Delphi to visit with the oracle and hopefully find out what was required for him to get an heir. The oracle tells Aigeus &quot;to not loosen the hanging foot of the wine-skin&quot; (Norton 656). Aigeus does not understand the meaning; he then travels to see Pittheus in Troezen. Pittheus is Aigeus's father-in-law and he is considered to be a righteous man(Norton 656). Aigeus travels through Corinth while on his way to Troezen and visits with Medea. Medea tells Aigeus how Jason has treated her and requests that Aigeus give her a haven of protection. Aigeus tells Medea what the oracle has told him and Medea tells Aigeus she can help him get male children. Aigeus tells Medea he will provide protection to her, but she has to reach Athens on her own accord (Norton 657).<br /> <br /> The oracle's words are told to Pittheus and Pittheus then encourages Aigeus to drink to the extent that he becomes drunk (Thompson). In Aigeus's drunkenness, he has sexual intercourse with Pittheus's daughter, Aethra. Aigeus realizes what he has done and he puts his sandles, spear, and shield under a rock. Aigeus gives clear instructions to Aethra if she has a son. She is to wait until the boy is old enough to lift the rock, he is then to be told that Aigeus is his father, and he must travel in secrecy to Athens. <br /> <br /> Aethra gives birth to a son and he is given the name Theseus. Theseus reaches the age to lift the rock and he is told about his heritage. Theseus travels to Athens as he has been instructed. During this time Medea has committed her crimes and has escaped to Athens (Lucas). Medea marries Aigeus and gives him a son, Medus. Medea tries to convince Aigeus that Theseus is an enemy to the kingdom and he must be destroyed. Aigeus gives Theseus a drink laced with posion. Theseus lifts the drink to his lips when Aigeus recognizes the sword and he pushes the drink from his lips. Father and son are united. Medea and Medus are kicked out of the kingdom.<br /> <br /> The sons of Pallas war with Theseus when they realize he is the heir to the throne; regardless, Theseus has victory over his enemies. He then goes to destroy the Minotaur and he tells his father he will display a white sail to show his victory when he returns, but he forgets to change the sail. Aigeus sees the black sail when the ship approaches and assumes his son has died. Aigeus commits suicide by jumping into the sea thus named the Aegean Sea after Aigeus(Oldaker).<br /> <br /> <br /> == Works Cited ==<br /> <br /> &lt;i&gt;Medea&lt;/i&gt;. Trans. Rex Warner.

Zeus sent a thunderbolt that caused Phaeton to crash to his death and further causing the land to burn, thus the flood was sent to extinguish the fire (Parada).<br /> <br /> The job of Helios was to light the world; he started in the east and finished his day in the west. Since Helios drove the chariot during the day, he was privy to many things. Many people swore by his name as their witness (Hunt). Helios is believed to have been the one that reported to Hephaestus about Ares and Aphrodite having a love affair. Aphrodite caused Helios to fall in love with Leucothoe as payment for revealing her love affair. Helios disguised himself as Leucothe’s mother to enable his entrance into the room with Leucothe where she was seduced. Clytia, a former lover of Helios, finds out about the affair. Clytia then tells Leucothe’s father, King Orchamus, and in turn he allows his daughter to be buried alive (Parada). Helios did not associate with Clytia anymore and Clytia became a flower, the first heliotrope. Her face turned into a violet and her body into a plant (Hunt).<br /> <br /> The sun god was worshipped mostly in Rhodes. Rhodes was the location of the Colossus of Rhodes, the sixth of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The Colossus of Rhodes was built in honor of Helios (Lindemans). Herds were also dedicated to Helios, one such place was located on the island of Ithaka (Lucas). Teiresias told Odysseus, in &lt;i&gt;The Odyssey&lt;/i&gt;, to avoid the cattle of Helios, but the crew of Odysseus, through their famine, decided differently. Helios learned that the cattle had been killed and he demanded that Zeus punish Odysseus and his crew or he would light the underworld. Zeus sent a thunderbolt that destroyed the crew and ship, leaving Odysseus as the only survivor. <br /> <br /> <br /> == Works Cited ==<br /> Hunt, J.M. &quot;Children of Hyperion&quot;. 12 Apr 2005.

Amorrell https://litwiki.org/index.php?title=Hector&diff=8477 2005-04-12T02:39:35Z

<p>Amorrell: </p> <hr /> <div>Hector was also known as Hector breaker of horses and man-killing Hector. Wikipedia says, “ Homer calls him ‘breaker of horses’, largely to maintain the meter of his lines and because Troy in general was known for horse raising. Hector is never specifically mentioned breaking horses.” The name man-killing Hector does not require further explanation.<br /> <br /> Hector was the eldest son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba. Nothing seems to be known of Hector’s childhood or life before the war. His fighting was more for the protection of Troy than for his personal glory. He was married to Andromache and they had one son, Astyanax. Hector was more of a family man than a warrior as opposed to Achilles, nonetheless he was a great warrior in the Trojan War and was the stronghold of Troy. Wikipedia says, &quot;During the Trojan War, Hector was equal to Ajax and surpassed only by Achilles&quot;. Encyclopedia.com says, “Hector was portrayed in the Iliad as the mainstay of Troy”. The Achaeans knew conquering the city meant killing Hector first. <br /> <br /> Hector’s brother Paris caused the Trojan War because he abducted Menelaus’ wife Helen. The men of Troy fought against the Achaeans while Paris was with Helen. Hector was annoyed with his brother and he did not understand why he was not fighting. Hector was aware of his duty. He never drank wine nor wandered from any of his duties in contrast to Paris. Andromache begs Hector to not return to the war, but his duty is to Troy and he must fight. <br /> <br /> Parada says, “In one occasion, Hector and the Achaean champion Ajax fought in a single combat that was without issue because the heralds parted them as the night was coming. In recognition of their courage the contenders exchanged gifts. But, as it is said, the gifts of enemies bring no good, for Ajax gave Hector the belt by which he was later dragged by Achilles, and Hector gave Ajax the sword with which he killed himself”.<br /> <br /> Achilles was mad with Agamemnon and prayed that the Achaeans would suffer. Thetis made the request to Zeus and he granted several victories for the Trojans. Hector killed Achilles’ best friend Patroclus and in doing so, enraged Achilles. The Achaeans retrieved the body of Patrolcus, but not the armor, which was Achilles’ armor. Hector’s parents tried to talk him out of facing Achilles, but Hector did not listen. Hector wore the armor of Achilles, he became afraid when he saw Achilles coming, and he ran from Achilles. Athena disguised herself as Deiphobus, one of Hector’s brothers. She convinced Hector to stand up to Achilles and he met his fate. Achilles killed Hector and avenged Patroclus’ death. Achilles tied Hector by his tendons and dragged him face down around the city to further shame Hector. (The Norton Anthologies, ''The Iliad''. 186). “Some modern scholars have even suggested that he, not Achilles, is the true hero of ''The Iliad''”. (Wikipedia)<br /> <br /> Before Priam came to meet with Achilles, Thetis told Achilles he must give back the body per Zeus’ request. Achilles gave Hector to Priam and the proper burial was given. The war was won by the Achaeans, Astyanax was thrown to his death, and Andromache was carried away by the Achaeans as chattel.<br /> <br /> <br /> Works Cited<br /> <br /> ''The Iliad''. Trans.

<p>Amorrell: /* Works Cited */</p> <hr /> <div>Aigeus was the king of Athens. Pandion was the father of Aigeus, Pallas, Nisos, and Lykos. Metion took the kingdom from Pandion and when Pandion died Pallas, Nisos, Lykos, and Aigeus took control of Athens. Aigeus then took complete control of the kingdom of Athens and ruled as the king.<br /> <br /> Aigeus did not have any male children with his first wife, Meta. He married a second wife, Chalciope, in hopes of having an heir. An heir was not produced by either wife; therefore, Aigeus decided to go to Delphi to visit with the oracle and hopefully find out what was required for him to get an heir. The oracle tells Aigeus &quot;to not loosen the hanging foot of the wine-skin&quot; (Norton 656). Aigeus does not understand the meaning; he then travels to see Pittheus in Troezen. Pittheus is Aigeus's father-in-law and he is considered to be a righteous man(Norton 656). Aigeus travels through Corinth while on his way to Troezen and visits with Medea. Medea tells Aigeus how Jason has treated her and requests that Aigeus give her a haven of protection. Aigeus tells Medea what the oracle has told him and Medea tells Aigeus she can help him get male children. Aigeus tells Medea he will provide protection to her, but she has to reach Athens on her own accord (Norton 657).<br /> <br /> The oracle's words are told to Pittheus and Pittheus then encourages Aigeus to drink to the extent that he becomes drunk (Thompson). In Aigeus's drunkenness, he has sexual intercourse with Pittheus's daughter, Aethra. Aigeus realizes what he has done and he puts his sandles, spear, and shield under a rock. Aigeus gives clear instructions to Aethra if she has a son. She is to wait until the boy is old enough to lift the rock, he is then to be told that Aigeus is his father, and he must travel in secrecy to Athens. <br /> <br /> Aethra gives birth to a son and he is given the name Theseus. Theseus reaches the age to lift the rock and he is told about his heritage. Theseus travels to Athens as he has been instructed. During this time Medea has committed her crimes and has escaped to Athens (Lucas). Medea marries Aigeus and gives him a son, Medus. Medea tries to convince Aigeus that Theseus is an enemy to the kingdom and he must be destroyed. Aigeus gives Theseus a drink laced with posion. Theseus lifts the drink to his lips when Aigeus recognizes the sword and he pushes the drink from his lips. Father and son are united. Medea and Medus are kicked out of the kingdom.<br /> <br /> The sons of Pallas war with Theseus when they realize he is the heir to the throne; regardless, Theseus has victory over his enemies. He then goes to destroy the Minotaur and he tells his father he will display a white sail to show his victory when he returns, but he forgets to change the sail. Aigeus sees the black sail when the ship approaches and assumes his son has died. Aigeus commits suicide by jumping into the sea thus named the Aegean Sea after Aigeus(Oldaker).<br /> <br /> <br /> == Works Cited ==<br /> <br /> &lt;i&gt;Medea&lt;/i&gt;. Trans. Rex Warner.

<p>Amorrell: </p> <hr /> <div>Aigeus was the king of Athens. Pandion was the father of Aiqeus, Pallas, Nisos, and Lykos. Metion took the kingdom from Pandion and when Pandion died Pallas, Nisos, Lykos, and Aigeus took control of Athens. Aigeus then took complete control of the kingdom of Athens and ruled as the king.<br /> <br /> Aigeus did not have any male children with his first wife, Meta. He married a second wife, Chalciope, in hopes of having an heir. An heir was not produced by either wife; therefore, Aigeus decided to go to Delphi to visit with the oracle and hopefully find out what was required for him to get an heir. The oracle tells Aigeus &quot;to not loosen the hanging foot of the wine-skin&quot; (Norton 656). Aigeus does not understand the meaning; he then travels to see Pittheus in Troezen. Pittheus is Aigeus's father-in-law and he is considered to be a righteous man(Norton 656). Aigeus travels through Corinth while on his way to Troezen and visits with Medea. Medea tells Aigeus how Jason has treated her and requests that Aigeus give her a haven of protection. Aigeus tells Medea what the oracle has told him and Medea tells Aigeus she can help him get male children. Aigeus tells Medea he will provide protection to her, but she has to reach Athens on her own accord (Norton 657).<br /> <br /> The oracle's words are told to Pittheus and Pittheus then encourages Aigeus to drink to the extent that he becomes drunk (Thompson). In Aigeus's drunkenness, he has sexual intercourse with Pittheus's daughter, Aethra. Aigeus realizes what he has done and he puts his sandles, spear, and shield under a rock. Aigeus gives clear instructions to Aethra if she has a son. She is to wait until the boy is old enough to lift the rock, he is then to be told that Aigeus is his father, and he must travel in secrecy to Athens. <br /> <br /> Aethra gives birth to a son and he is given the name Theseus. Theseus reaches the age to lift the rock and he is told about his heritage. Theseus travels to Athens as he has been instructed. During this time Medea has committed her crimes and has escaped to Athens (Lucas). Medea marries Aigeus and gives him a son, Medus. Medea tries to convince Aigeus that Theseus is an enemy to the kingdom and he must be destroyed. Aigeus gives Theseus a drink laced with posion. Theseus lifts the drink to his lips when Aigeus recognizes the sword and he pushes the drink from his lips. Father and son are united. Medea and Medus are kicked out of the kingdom.<br /> <br /> The sons of Pallas war with Theseus when they realize he is the heir to the throne; regardless, Theseus has victory over his enemies. He then goes to destroy the Minotaur and he tells his father he will display a white sail to show his victory when he returns, but he forgets to change the sail. Aigeus sees the black sail when the ship approaches and assumes his son has died. Aigeus commits suicide by jumping into the Aegean Sea (Aegeus).<br /> <br /> <br /> == Works Cited ==<br /> <br /> &lt;i&gt;Medea&lt;/i&gt;. Trans. Rex Warner.

<p>Amorrell: </p> <hr /> <div>Hector was also known as Hector breaker of horses and man-killing Hector. Wikipedia says, “ Homer calls him ‘breaker of horses’, largely to maintain the meter of his lines and because Troy in general was known for horse raising. Hector is never specifically mentioned breaking horses.” The name man-killing Hector does not require further explanation.<br /> <br /> Hector was the eldest son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba. Nothing seems to be known of Hector’s childhood or life before the war. His fighting was more for the protection of Troy than for his personal glory. He was married to Andromache and they had one son, Astyanax. Hector was more of a family man than a fighter as opposed to Achilles, nonetheless he was a great fighter in the Trojan War and was the stronghold of Troy. Wikipedia says, &quot;During the Trojan War, Hector was equal to Ajax and surpassed only by Achilles&quot;. Encyclopedia.com says, “Hector was portrayed in the Iliad as the mainstay of Troy”. The Achaeans knew conquering the city meant killing Hector first. <br /> <br /> Hector’s brother Paris caused the Trojan War because he abducted Menelaus’ wife Helen. The men of Troy fought against the Achaeans while Paris was with Helen. Hector was annoyed with his brother and he did not understand why he was not fighting. Hector was aware of his duty. He never drank wine nor wandered from any of his duties in contrast to Paris. Andromache begs Hector to not return to the war, but his duty is to Troy and he must fight. <br /> <br /> Parada says, “In one occasion, Hector and the Achaean champion Ajax fought in a single combat that was without issue because the heralds parted them as the night was coming. In recognition of their courage the contenders exchanged gifts. But, as it is said, the gifts of enemies bring no good, for Ajax gave Hector the belt by which he was later dragged by Achilles, and Hector gave Ajax the sword with which he killed himself”.<br /> <br /> Achilles was mad with Agamemnon and prayed that the Achaeans would suffer. Thetis made the request to Zeus and he granted several victories for the Trojans. Hector killed Achilles’ best friend Patroclus and in doing so, enraged Achilles. The Achaeans retrieved the body of Patrolcus, but not the armor, which was Achilles’ armor. Hector’s parents tried to talk him out of facing Achilles, but Hector did not listen. Hector wore the armor of Achilles, he became afraid when he saw Achilles coming, and he ran from Achilles. Athena disguised herself as Deiphobus, one of Hector’s brothers. She convinced Hector to stand up to Achilles and he met his fate. Achilles killed Hector and avenged Patroclus’ death. Achilles tied Hector by his tendons and dragged him face down around the city to further shame Hector. (The Norton Anthologies, ''The Iliad''. 186). “Some modern scholars have even suggested that he, not Achilles, is the true hero of ''The Iliad''”. (Wikipedia)<br /> <br /> Before Priam came to meet with Achilles, Thetis told Achilles he must give back the body per Zeus’ request. Achilles gave Hector to Priam and the proper burial was given. The war was won by the Achaeans, Astyanax was thrown to his death, and Andromache was carried away by the Achaeans as chattel.<br /> <br /> <br /> Works Cited<br /> <br /> ''The Iliad''. Trans.
