Zeus

2005-05-02T03:26:58Z

Chobbs:

Zeus, the King of the Gods and Husband of Hera. Zeus is the successor of Kronos as supreme god. His mother, Rhea, immediately after his birth concealed him from Kronos, who, because he was fated to be overthrown by one of his children, ate all his offspring.
Zeus tricked Kronos into disgorging his brothers and sisters and led them in a successful revolt against their father. When lots were cast to divide the universe, the underworld went to Hades, the sea to Poseidon, and the heavens and earth to Zeus.

Zeus was the god of the sky and ruler of the Olympian gods. He is lord of the sky, the rain god. His weapon is a thunderbolt which he hurls at those who displease him. Although he is married to Hera he is famous for his many affairs. He is also known to punish those that lie or break oaths. He was the rain god, and the cloud gatherer, who wielded the terrible thunderbolt. His breastplate was the aegis, his bird the eagle, his tree the oak. He is represented as the god of justice and mercy, the protector of the weak, and the punisher of the wicked.

The Metamorphoses Summary:Apollo and Daphne

[[Image:Daphne_apollo.jpg|thumb|Apollo and Daphne]]Phoebus Apollo seeks after Daphne a nymph the daughter of Peneus. An arrow that Cupid shot struck Apollo and made him fall in love, and the arrow that makes one reject struck Daphne. She wants to stay a virgin and unmarried. Cupid did this through his wrath at Apollo, because Apollo was criticizing the way he carried his bow and bragged about how he could do a better job. Apollo is determined to get Daphne to love him so they begin a chase throughout the woods. Daphne starts to get tired and she prays to her father to help her. She is then transformed into a laurel tree. Apollo says that he will love the tree forever.

Telémakhos (Telemachus)

Telemachus was the son of Odysseus king of Ithaca and Penelope. He does not remember his father Odysseus because Odysseus left for the Trojan War when Telemachus was still an infant. Odysseus fought in the Trojan War for ten years and after the fall of Troy he spent the next ten years trying to get home. During this time Telemachus had to contend with the suitors seeking the hand of his mother. In book I we find Telemachus setting in the court yard among the suitors when he encounters Athena. Athena encourages Telemachus to call a meeting with the islanders and tells him to “speak your will, and call the gods to witness: the suitors must go scattering to their homes.” (Book I 313-14) This order was met with cantonment from the suitors who refused to leave his father’s home. Telemachus sets out on his on adventure as he seeks the counsel of
“Nestor and Menelaus, whether he could learn about his father, or by chance pick up a truthful rumor from heaven. She also made clear for him his choices, saying that if Odysseus were alive and on his way back [sic]; he could reconcile himself with the Suitors' wastage still for some time. But, the goddess said, if Odysseus were dead he should build him a funeral mound, and give his mother to a new husband.” (1)
Menelaus encourages him with news that Odysseus may be alive and held captive by a goddess-nymph named Calypso. Athena keeps the prince alive by helping him avoid an ambush set up by the suitors on his return trip to Ithaca. During this voyage Telemachus becomes a man.
Upon his return home, Athena informs Telemachus of the ambush that was planned by the suitors, this advice helps Telemacus avoid being killed. But to Telemacus surprise his father had returned to claim his home and kingdom from the suitors. Telemacus and Odysseus destroy all the suitors and rid his home of the ones that had portrayed him in his absence. The valiant way Telemacus fought, earned the respect of his father.

But, the goddess said, if Odysseus were dead he should build him a funeral mound, and give his mother to a new husband.” (1)
Menelaus encourages him with news that Odysseus may be alive and held captive by a goddess-nymph named Calypso. Athena keeps the prince alive by helping him avoid an ambush set up by the suitors on his return trip to Ithaca. During this voyage Telemachus becomes a man.
Upon his return home, Athena informs Telemachus of the ambush that was planned by the suitors, this advice helps Telemacus avoid being killed. But to Telemacus surprise his father had returned to claim his home and kingdom from the suitors. Telemacus and Odysseus destroy all the suitors and rid his home of the ones that had portrayed him in his absence. The valiant way Telemacus fought, earned the respect of his father.

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.

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, "During the Trojan War, Hector was equal to Ajax and surpassed only by Achilles". Encyclopedia.com says, “Hector was portrayed in the Iliad as the mainstay of Troy”. The Achaeans knew conquering the city meant killing Hector first.

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.

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”.

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)

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.
