One hot and sunny day in Olympus, Poseidon’s daughter, Akeyla, was planning her escape. Akeyla has always wanted to leave Olympus but her father says that the outside world is scary. Even though she wouldn’t know anybody there, she would have her daughter, Tylin with her. So one day Akeyla decides it’s her day to leave. She would leave at night so nobody would see her. As she waits for the night she gathers some things that she might need in the outside world, clothes, money Tylin, and weapons. Akeyla wakes up Tylin as they’re about to leave. As the night came, Akeyla opens the big, shiny, golden gate that leads to the outside world. She says the fancy spell that would take take her to any place she wanted to go. When they got there, of
Odysseus was a very robust individual who was obligated to leave his kingdom of Ithaca to embark on a journey to fight the battles of Greek and win over Troy. To do this, he was required to leave behind his newborn son Telemachus, and his wife Penelope the Queen. The war lasted 10 years, and once the battle was over Odysseus and his fleet split and attempted to sail back to Ithaca. There, he was favored by Athena, goddess of handicrafts, learning, and the arts, and despised by Poseidon, god of the sea. His journey back home went off track and Odysseus eventually returned home after 20 years. Throughout the journey, Odysseus encountered many different situations in which he made some respectable choices, but the poorer ones landed him in a
The dim lighting reveals the hopeless and melancholic feelings of Penelope. Similarly, numerous shadows and dark shading appear in the scene where Odysseus swims in the ocean (Hinds 70-71). The shadows and shading display the emotions of trepidation and apprehension felt by Odysseus as he paddles through the deep, churning and stygian water. Both examples convey how contrast delineates emotions. Second, Hinds wields perspective to project the emotions. Viewpoint and proportions define perspective in several scenes. High and small, Mount Olympus stands (Hinds 2). The perspective conveys the disunion the characters in the story feel with the gods. Furthermore, the viewpoint of the small and elevated Mount Olympus exemplifies the sacredness of the immortals. Likewise, Penelope and Ogygia appear on the same page, but separated into two different panels (Hinds 46). This disconnection demonstrates the emotion of severance Penelope and Odysseus feel for each other. Also, the detachment between Odysseus's ship and the island of the Sirens portrays separation (Hinds 137). The artwork displays the emotions of disjunction and longing that Odysseus feels for the Sirens. The feelings of detachment,
Athene asks her father, Zeus, king of the gods, to force Kalpyso to release him. Odysseus leaves the island on a makeshift raft. Poseidon creates a storm, causing Odysseus to wash ashore in the land of Phaiakians. Athene the makes the princess of the Phaiakians, Nausikaa to develop feelings for Odysseus. She takes him home to meet her parents, the King and Queen of Phaiakia, and Odysseus ends up
Twenty years from home can be enough to break a man down. In Homer’s The Odyssey, Odysseus struggles to get home over his two-decade hero’s journey. While he fought against monsters, women, suitors, and even his own men, his most tremendous battles are against himself, fighting his own officiousness and hubris. This conflict causes his expedition to not only be significantly longer but also notably more difficult. Odysseus’s flaw of curiosity provoked the god Poseidon, who is arguably his most heinous enemy. Once Odysseus’s and his men arrived at the Land of the Cyclopes, Odysseus inquisitiveness prompted him to explore the island, provoking Polyphemus, the Cyclopes. After violating the barbarian’s household, Odysseus quickly finds himself escaping Polyphemus’s wrath, however the Cyclopes was still able to curse Odysseus, calling upon his father, praying, “Should destiny intend that he shall see his roof again among his family in his fatherland, far be that day and dark the years between.
Athena’s Helping Throughout the epic poem, The Odyssey, written by Homer, Odysseus is having a very tough time trying to get home from Troy. There are many things that are holding Odysseus back and not all of the gods, especially Poseidon, are helping him. Although Odysseus does eventually make it back to Ithaca, he did not do it all by himself. Even though Poseidon is doing all he can to prevent him from getting home, there is one goddess that is doing exactly the opposite.

When he is almost home, Poseidon sees him and sends a storm that destroys and sinks his raft. Ino helps Odysseus by giving him her veil, which protects him from the water. After two days of swimming, Odysseus reaches the Phaeacians and their kind king, Alcinous. The king’s daughter, Nausicaa, finds Odysseus and takes him to the king. Odysseus expalins how he and his crew first saw the Lotus-Eaters, then they docked in front of a cave to search for food. There was wine, food, and pens full of
The Odysseus who leaves Troy changes into a completely different man before he arrives at his home in Ithaca. The hero endures many trials and tribulations induced by the menis of Poseidon, but learns from his mistakes and matures much through his trek. Poseidon serves as a symbol of the supernatural and the threatening. In a way, he is the abusive, but pedagogic father. It is Poseidon who keeps Odysseus in the face of danger, and it is Poseidon who keeps him suffering. Until the seventh year of Calypso, Athena does nothing and observes patiently. She is the gentle and guiding mother. She stops the father from killing the son, but lets the son gain wisdom through his suffering. It is only when the hero gains enough wisdom that she allows
Hermes soon soared to Ogygia; there, he commanded Calypso to send her captive back to Ithaca. By means of Zeus’s authority, Odysseus was set free and soon was gliding through the seas with the nymph’s aid. However, the waters upon which he navigated were the ocean god’s domain; and on his seventeenth day sailing, when Poseidon returned to Greece, Odysseus’s fate went sour. The “Earth Shaker’s” omnipotent wrath punished Odysseus with a sinister storm, and soon, his raft was rendered unusable. If not for the whims of Leusothoe “the White Goddess,” Odysseus’s return would have ended there. With the help of her, and also Athene, Odysseus was able to survive and reach the shores of Phaeacia (where he would continue to receive “help from

As Telemachus tracks Odysseus' trail through stories from his old Comrades- in- arm, Athena arranges for the release of Odysseus from the Island of the beautiful goddess Calypso, whose prisoner and lover he has been for the last seven years. Odysseus sets sail on a makeshift raft, but the sea god Poseidon, whose wrath Odysseus incurred earlier in his adventure by blinding Poseidon's son, the Cyclops Polyphemus, conjures up a storm. With Athena's help Odysseus reaches the Phaeacians. Their princess, Nausicaa, who has a crush on the handsome warrior, opens the palace to the stranger. Odysseus withholds his identity for as long as he can until finally, at the Phaeacians' request, he tells the story of his adventures.
After assisting Telemachus, Athena ventures to the Island where Calypso lives to free Odysseus. Odysseus is then given a boat by Calypso to return to home. On the way home, he lands on a strange place which is unknown to him. Athena, cognizant of Odysseus' arrival, travels to the palace of Alcinous disguised as one of Nausicaa's friends. Athena enters the palace and gives Nausicaa advice to venture to river so she would clean herself up to make her presentable to men. In doing this, Athena has sent Nausicaa to meet up with Odysseus at the river. It was then Odysseus' turn to be disguised.

The information put forth in this TED talk was regarding the manner treatment of disease was approached. But to discuss the future of medicine, he begins with addressing the past. The prior and current model has a downward motion and is “so profoundly simple is can be summarized in 6 words: Have disease -> Take pill -> Kill something” (TED 2015). This method has been dominant since the 1950’s because of the antibiotic revolution stemming from the introduction of antibiotics into the United States which took place over 100 years ago. The mechanism under which antibiotics function is likened to a lock and key and the specificity of the lock and key mechanism was so exquisite that fatal or lethal diseases, such as tuberculosis or pneumonia,
