King Leo Research Paper

I chose the constellation Andromeda because the back story and myths it has really fascinates me! I feel that some of the myths behind the consolations can be rather boring, but with the romance and danger all wrapped into one, I continue going back to it. This constellation is the 19th largest in the sky and is located in the first quadrant of the northern hemisphere. It takes seven-hundred-twenty-two square feet in the sky!

In today's society, constellations are known as a group of stars that when viewed from our planet earth, form a pattern that we can see at night with the unaided eye. There are also groups of constellation families; such as the Ursa major family, the Perusues Family, the Hercules Family, the Orion Family, the Bayer Group, the Heavenly Waters, the La Caille Family and finally the most known constellation group; the Zodiacal Family. The zodiacal family consists of the zodiac constellations signs. These signs usually describe your personality and who you are as a family. The constellation, Leo, is my zodiac sign, and in my particular interest for it depicts who I am. The Leo constellation is the twelfth largest constellation in the night sky and

In the mythology story “Pyramus and Thisbe,” by Edith Hamilton, Pyramus and Thisbe live next door to each other. They are in love, but their parents do not approve. They make a plan to meet under a mulberry tree. While Thisbe is waiting, she sees a lioness with blood on her mouth from a kill. As Thisbe runs away, she drops her cloak. The lioness tears the cloak, so when Pyramus comes, he sees the bloody cloak and thinks that Thisbe is killed by the lioness. Pyramus kills himself with his sword because he could not protect Thisbe. Thisbe returns to find Pyramus dying and uses his sword to kill herself. Their blood turns the white mulberries a deep red for their everlasting love.

1.The Nemean Lion: Hercules task was to “Kill the Nemean Lion.” Hercules was ordered because King Eurystheus told him to complete the tasks. He went to Cleonae, a town, this is where he was offered to stay. A person had requested him to get a lion's skin. Hercules requested the person to wait for thirty days. Finally, he killed the ferocious beast, and he carried it to Cleonae. After that, he returned to Mycenae where King Eurystheus was amazed by his accomplishment.

The Stamnos vase of Hercules and the Nemean lion depicts the Greek Hero Herakles first labor, the battle with the Nemean Lion. The twelve labors were a form of punishment for killing his wife and children in

Medea, from the story of the Golden Fleece, knew who Theseus was and wanted to keep her influence on the king, so she persuaded Aegeus to poison his son. Before Aegeus could give Theseus the poison, Theseus presented the sword his father left for him and while Aegeus embraced his son, dropping the cup of poison to the floor, Medea escaped to Asia. Aegeus confessed to his son that before his arrival, he sent the son of Minos, the ruler of Crete, on a dangerous mission to hunt a bull. The bull killed the son causing Minos to demand that every nine years, seven youths and seven maidens be sacrificed to the mighty Minotaur. Theseus decided to be one of the chosen sacrifices in order to kill the Minotaur. Minos' daughter, Ariadne, falls in love with Theseus and tells him that if he takes her back to Athens and marries her, she will help him escape the Minotaur's lair. He used a ball of

The clouds turned eerie and dark, as lightning struck beautifully, and the thunder roared loudly in the sky, welcoming the new king of the Lionheart Kingdom, King Leo XVI. Leo was a fortunate and young cub born in the wealthy side of the kingdom. He was chosen to be the king because his grandfather, Leo XIV had died. Leo was still a young cub, and he still had so much to discover about the world around him. He was not the typical lion who was brave, courageous, and audacious; he was more of a lazy, indolent, and an indecisive lion. As soon as he became king he moved into a paradisal and heavenly palace called Leon, where everything is what any poor animal could ever dreamed of. And what is a king without a queen? Leo decided

Hercules was the son of Zeus and Alcmene. Zeus had fallen in love with Alcmene, so he disguised himself as her husband. Hera was furious when she found out about Hercules so she sent down 2 snakes to kill him. Since Hercules was a half-blood he possessed inhuman strength, therefore he strangled the snakes and proceeded to play with their corpses as if they were toys. In his youth Hercules tended cattle after he killed his music tutor, Linus, by hitting him with a lyre. Hercule's first wife was named Megara. Unfortunately,

I have chosen the Perseus Constellation. I chose that contallation because I have always liked the Greek Gods mythology. Perseus, named after the Greek Mythology hero, is a constellation in the Northen Sky. Perseus is bordered by Aries and Taurus to the south, Auriga to the east, Camelopardalis and Cassiopeia to the north, and Andromeda and Triangulum the west.

The constellation that I have chosen is Capricornus. Capricornus is one of the twelve zodiac constellations, and it symbolizes the sea-goat. The best time to see this constellation would be at ten o'clock at night in September and October, especially if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. I chose this constellation because according to Astrology I am a Capricorn and thought it would be interesting to know more about the constellation relating to my zodiac sign. Capricornus has five stars with planets in it's constellation.

I have chosen the constellation Scorpius. I chose Scorpius because it is one of the most interesting looking constellations (in my opinion), and it contains many bright stars. Scorpius means scorpion in Latin, and it is a zodiac sign, although its name is changed to Scorpio. It is in the southern hemosphere, and it lies between Sagittarius and Libra.

The constellation I have chosen is Cancer. I chose this constellation because it is my zodiac sign. Naturally, I found it interesting to learn about and write an essay on my discovery and creation theory. Cancer is Latin for "Crab", The name was chosen because the representation of the the constellation is in fact a crab. The constellation is 506 sq. degrees and made up of faint stars.

I have chosen the constellation "Aries". I have chosen this constellation because it is also my Zodiac symbol. Aries is one of twelve of the Zodiac Constellations.

Aries is a mid-sized constellation. It ranks 39th in overall size. It has an area of 441 square degrees, which is 1.1% of the celestial sphere. Aries represents the ram whose fleece became the Golden Fleece of Ancient Greek Mythology, even though Aries has been represented as a ram since the times of Babylon.

Lions are known to be majestic creatures among many people. Throughout history lions had been referred to “King of Beast” due to their dangerous persona. During ancient times lions were associated with bravery and power by killing them.  These creatures have been a mystery to so many people. From the way they live, to their behavior around other animals or towards each other. As well as the history lions have endured and the symbol it meant to people in history. Through this research paper I will be explaining the life of lions and possibly answering a few of your questions.

Firstly, in agreement with Clarke, the lion similes are the similes that are the focal point in the Iliad. As Clarke states, there are other kinds of similes that feature in the epic such as wolves, leopards, boars and even cows but these do not hold as much importance as the lion simile does. In relation to all the other beasts and animals mentioned, the lion is the one that is at the top of the food chain, the one that is the most ferocious, strong and powerful.
