Cosmic Eagle In Greek Mythology

Historically, Americans treated their nation's symbol about as well as they did their other natural resources. Recent guesstimates of eagle numbers at the time of European settlement range from 25,000 to 75,000 birds, though the species distribution was spotty. Feeding largely on fish and carrion, and thus harmless to human interest, bald eagles were nevertheless classed as vermin, to be shot on sight. (Graham 2)

I chose the American bald eagle because it is one of the fastest and strongest species of eagles. It is the national symbol. The Congress adopted it as the national symbol in 1782. I think it was adopted as the national bird of the United States because the Roman soldiers used the eagle as a symbol of courage and power. In the early 1800's, Americans called the Bald Eagle, the American eagle.

Zeus, the god of the sky, ruler of the olympian gods, filler of Gaia’s' prophecy, “supreme deity in Greek religion”, (Cartwright, 2013), was a very mighty god as well as a big lothario. Zeus liked reverence, respect and morality and punished all who were impious and blasphemous, which is strange since he had forty some children or more from many women, which didn’t demonstrate much respect to his wife Hera. Zeus had many symbols such as the thunderbolt, sceptre, eagle, oak tree, and the aegis, all of which have a story behind them. The famous thunderbolt which Zeus is known for, represents ruling over the elements and was a gift given by the cyclops and turned into his major weapon which is retrieved by the eagle (which represented his ruling over the sky). The aegis was “forged by the Cyclopes in Hephaestus’ forge” (Karas, 2017), which is thought to be animal skin and offers protection to a god. The oak tree represents religion which is what Zeus stands for since he was the main god in ancient times. Lastly the sceptre represented Zeus being a ruler of the gods.

With his shield, Aegua, he was believed to be the god able to create any of the Phenomena that the greeks had seen in the sky. He was considered to be the ruler of the realms of the sky and air, and controlled anything that happened within them. Because he was the ruler of the sky, and had helped free the Cyclops, they rewarded him with the thunder bolt, a powerful weapon that allowed him to hurl lightning bolts at anything or anyone he desired. He was known to have a short temper, and to throw lightning at anyone who made him angry, particularly liers and oath breakers. He also used it on anyone who fell in love with his wife, even though he had many affairs. He is generally thought of as “wise, fair, just, merciful, and prudent. He was also unpredictable – nobody was able to guess the decisions he would make”(greekgodsandgoddesses.net). He tried to protect people from wrongdoing, punishing those who did, and is also the god of hospitality and quests, ready to fix any wrong done to a stranger. His main symbol is the lightening bolt, as it is his favorite weapon, but he has also been represented as an eagle, as it sees all, much like him from Mount Olympus, a bull to

Zeus, the god of the sky, ruler of the Olympian gods, filler of Gaia’s' prophecy, “supreme deity in Greek religion”, (Cartwright, 2013), was a remarkable god as well as a tremendous lothario. Zeus liked reverence, respect and morality and punished all who were impious and blasphemous, which is peculiar since he had forty some children or more from many women, which didn’t demonstrate much respect to his wife Hera. Zeus had many symbols such as the thunderbolt, sceptre, eagle, oak tree, and the aegis, all of which have a story behind them. The famous thunderbolt which Zeus is known for, represents ruling over the elements and was a gift given by the Cyclops and turned into his major weapon which is retrieved by the eagle (which represented his ruling over the sky).

Veterans Day is an important United States holiday for those who served in armed forces. People give honor to the military to remember and pay their respect to the soldiers. They made the risk for their sacrifices for the country. The Bald Eagle, a U.S. national bird symbolizes the strength, freedom, courage, and immortality. The symbolization was an appropriate choice by the Founding Fathers on June 20, 1782, as the emblem of the nation, for its majestic beauty, strength, long life, and proud independence. Also, it is believed that the Bald Eagle exist only on this continent of North America.

The bald eagle was chosen to represent America because it shows great strength, beauty, and long life. When you serve for our country, your character shows great strength as the bald eagle does.

Our service members, arose and continue to arise to serve for our country that has given them, and us so much.

An animal this is symbolic of Hades is the three-headed dog. This animal is the guard of the underworld and will only let the dead into the underworld.

To call myself an AU Eagle, it would mean that I am apart of a community with a large capacity to endure in hopes to produce meaningful change. It would mean that I actively seek truth and do not let it squander in my mind. It would mean that my character is constantly reshaping due to the diverse opinions that cause me to review societal norms. It would mean that I use my imagination to question, debate, rally for my passions because when thought is entangled with drive, greatness occurs. It means I am a wonk.

Sphere of Hermes The ancient Greeks and Romans identified their gods based on the spheres of nature they are believed to control. In the ancient hymns to the gods, rather than explicitly praise the gods, the praise of each god is valued and portrayed in their actions—what they did, to whom they did, why they did it and the repercussions of what they did. In the hymn to Hermes, the myth of Hermes stealing the cows of Apollo (page 189) is used as a tool for Praising the god of thieves.

Why is there such a focus on cosmic occurrences or natural phenomena like stars, moons, floods, rain, etc.? The concentration on these cosmic occurrences or natural phenomena can touch into the human psyche. Cosmic occurrences and natural phenomena can discover similar dreams and correlate them with the unconscious mind. Rosenberg states that "Myths usually originate in an ancient, oral tradition. Some explain origins, natural phenomena, and death; others describe the nature and function of divinities; while still others provide models of virtuous behavior by relating the adventures of heroes or the misfortunes of arrogant humans" (Rosenberg, 2006, p. xiii).

At the beginning of the novel when Abel was just a young boy, he had joined the Eagle Watchers Society. It was a learning experience for Abel as he got to experience watching these beautiful animals as they flew around the blue sky. They meant something to him, but at first he didn’t really know. Till one day, he looked up in the sky and noticed that one of the eagles had a snake in his mouth. In the Native American culture the eagle has a lot of wise meanings, but for Abel the eagle signified freedom within himself. He knew right then and there that he would later understand the eagle was always looking out for him. The eagle could have been looked at as messenger from a higher power. Freedom, vision, and power are what the young man strived

To the Trojans, Ares himself is an imperative symbol of war as his symbols include the spear and helmet. In the Trojan War, “Ares supported and favored the Trojans” (Encyclopedia). His symbols, the spear and the helmet, are the weapons and armor he uses in war and favors. Some of his other symbols include the dog, chariot, boar, vulture and flaming torch. Ares’ chariot is very vital to him. “In battle, he was accompanied by Phobos (Fear) and Deimos (Terror)” (Encyclopedia). It is said that the dog is a bad symbol for Ares because he is not a dog, he is more like the opposite of a dog.

Since the first Egyptian farmers discovered the annual reappearance of Sirius just before dawn a few days before the yearly rising of the Nile, ancient civilizations around the Mediterranean have sought to explain the movements of the heavens as a sort of calendar to help guide them conduct earthly activities. Counting phases of the moon or observing the annual variations of day length could, after many years' collection of observations, serve as vital indicators for planting and harvesting times, safe or stormy season for sailing, or time to bring the flocks from winter to summer pastures. With our millennia of such observation behind us, we sometimes forget that seeing and recording anything less obvious than
