The Indian culture of Nectar in a Sieve and the Greek culture Mythology are without doubt very different. However, despite those differences, both cultures share some similarities. The link between the Indian culture in Nectar in a Sieve and Greek culture is the fact that both cultures are polytheistic, meaning that they worship more than one god. For instance, in Nectar in a Sieve, a massive storm came upon the village where Ruku (main character) and her family lived, which caused the destruction of their home and more importantly the crops, which provided them with food in order to survive. Since Ruku and her family, amongst the other villagers, saw that the situation was not going to improve any time soon they began to pray to their gods.
Time is an adventure that humans seem to be preoccupied in for everything from when we get up in the morning, when we go to work and when we go to bed, but if you compared all the clocks and watches of the world, there’s a new atomic clock out that is so accurate that it will only lose one tiny second in a timeframe of 15 billion years!

In the origins of Greece, ancient Greek mythology and sources have explained incidents of the oracles of Delphi. The Delphic oracles were primarily female prophets who were told to have inhaled certain vapors from a spring in the temple of the Greek god, Apollo, which allowed the prophets to serve as a supernatural connection to the specific God. Despite the historical evidence that supports the idea of the mysterious oracle vapors, modern day archeologists and geologists rejected the idea completely. Many of the rejections are due to the lack of archeological findings of vapors at Delphi. Two men by the name of Jelle Zeilinga De Boer, a chemist, and John Hale, an archeologist, had then stepped up to study both the geological
The Greek Miracle was a revolution of thought that swept over Greece during a time of confusion and fear of the unknown. During this time period, “mankind realized what mankind was,” and the people of Greece began to change what had been originally thought and done. Although the exact time of when this period took place is unknown, the ripple effect has been crucial to the world today. “The world became rational” in the most irrational way.

So There should not be a death penalty because it violates human rights, it does not deter crime, and is a cruel and unusual punishment.

The antediluvian Greek Mythology’s roots can be traced back to the Mycenaean Age. This mythology was basically an amalgamation of the myths and the teachings which were actually the threshold for the pillars of ancient Greeks’ traditions and theology. And their main focus used to be the gods, goddesses, their heroes and along with all this, the perception with which they use to observe the world and its genesis, by focusing on their beliefs and
Ritual purity and ritual pollution are nearly the same concept, when looking at the reason for why they are followed. They are both categories used in Greek religion used so that homogeneity would be held among the everyday Greeks that was only supposed to be used during or immediately before rituals. Both categories were also only applied during situations that could be contributed to a divine being, like being struck by lightning after having sex in a religious area during the day. Both purity and pollution were also the opposite of “normality,” and would not be expected to follow during all times, especially since the Greeks seemed eager enough to gain pollution if they wanted or needed something enough. On top of this, both were used in times of distress (like a city-wide plague) in order to treat or end the plague, for example by blaming a murder for the pollution and by purifying the city through killing, sacrificing, or banishing the murderer.
The Correlation Of Greek Myths and Greek Geography- How did the Greeks use their mythology to explain the world around them? The Greeks used supernatural explanations based off of their mythological religion to explain natural occurrences and geography through the stories of oracles, olive trees and Athens, and the creation of Greek soil. In the myth of oracles, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, which are now known to be caused by tectonic plates, were thought to be sings from the gods.
Prophecy and premonition played a major role in Greek Mythology. The people of Greece traveled far and wide to grasp a piece of the truth or learn of their future. These things could be given to them through prophecies from the gods’ mouthpieces at shrines called oracles. Oracles varied in numerous aspects including: kind of prophecy given, rituals required, and to whom they are dedicated. The Oracle of Trophonius is an example of an oracle with a very unique story.
"A myth is a collective term denoting a symbolic narrative in religion, as distinguished from symbolic behavior (cult, ritual) and symbolic places or objects (temples, icons)". (The New Encyclopedia Britannica. Vol. 24)Mythology is a collection of myths meant to explain the universe. Mythological stories were told in many different cultures and civilizations. The existence of myths is known in every society. Many different myths were conceived to explain occurrences that happened in nature.
The gods and goddesses of Greek are mostly cruel to the innocent people; nonetheless, this is not the hindrance in all stipulations. Within the myths “Pandora" by Barbara McBride-Smith, "Arachne" by Olivia E. Coolidge, and "Echo and Narcissus" by Anne Terry White, it shows the fiendish actions of immortals against the mortals to educate them a lesson. The cruelty of immortals can also be justified when it's being accomplished to teach a lesson considering the fact that this may occasionally instruct the mortals not to disobey, disrespect, and delude the immortals. In the fable of "Pandora," Prometheus and the mortals disobey Zeus’ words by stealing the fire; thus, Zeus takes a revenge on Prometheus and the mortals via releasing catastrophic effects on his creations referred to as "humans.
I have been raised in a family that values logic and reason, but one that also appreciates other people’s morals and beliefs. Among these have been individuals of different Christian denominations, Hindu, and Islamic beliefs. Sense a predominant number of religious beliefs and logical ideas stem from early civilizations, I often wonder the extent to which logical ideas differ from religious tenants-sense both manifest from the human mind. To engage this research question, I have specified my topic to compare and contrast the ideas of Greek philosophers (such as Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, and Pythagoras) to the ideas of Greek Mythology. Logically, it makes sense to focus on Greek ideas because they laid the foundation for modern government and religious tenants.
