The city that once had homed thousands and been the most economically successful country ever, was now a contaminated wasteland. The land looked dry, destroyed and lonely. The morning breeze felt like crying sorrows, and the grey deceitful sky awed down at us. In the deepest corner of despair lies dystopia where hope dies. As someone looks through the eyes of the devil, they see his utopia. Only visible by the dim light of the moon was the great wall. Beyond the wall? No one knew. Stretching away from the wall was a humongous bridge that towered the wall. Standing tall on the bridge was a tower, which had two circles that almost looked like eyes. Those mysterious, creepy and dangerous looking eyes stared down at the city giving away a haunting look.

When people wonder about Ancient Greece the first thing that comes to their minds is Greek mythology; gods and goddesses that have helped shape many historical events. “In ancient Greece, stories about gods and goddesses and heroes and monsters were an important part of everyday life.” (“Greek Mythology.”) The civilization showed that numerous characters and stories helped shape Greeks. The beliefs the Greeks had with mythologies was they understood the meaning behind all the characters that are known today.

I feel it is necessary to distinctly define the different gods and goddesses. As mentioned in class, while most gods and goddesses might hint at the virtue of xenia, Zeus is the main god who truly enforces it. Poseidon is furious with Odysseus; therefore, the moment he sees anyone helping Odysseus, he wants to punish them. This fact cannot be ignored, even if the ones who help Odysseus are Poseidon's own people, the Phaiakians. As for Zeus permitting Poseidon's act, I would assume that Zeus did not want to deal with a whiny god, so he simply let Poseidon have his

Certain mortals should be aloud to live with the gods upon mount Olympus. This should be a select few that are hand picks mortals. Men that are not just great leaders and saviors, but are that of heroes. The underworld is full of dead peopling through history. The prize after death is not good enough for a true hero. Hercules after saving all the gods lives from the titans should be more than just an honorary god. Plus there are a few mortals already on mount Olympus; “One such exception were the Dioscuri.
