Pandora and roman Gods

Pandora is the story of a beautiful girl made of clay. The gods made her curious. This was part of their plan to punish two brothers that had stolen fire from them. Who knew it was so bad to be curious!

The Romans believed in many different gods and goddesses. Roman gods were a strange mixture of influences and considered divine manifestations, faceless, formless, and powerful, theirs names of plants that we study every day. Varro uses the name Dii Consentes for twelve deities whose gilded images stood in the forum. The Romans worshipped the main pantheon of 12 Gods called Dii Consentes: six gods and six goddesses: Jupiter, Juno, Minerva, Vesta, Ceres, Diana, Venus, Mars, Mercurius, Neptunus, Volcanus, and Apollo. We are going to draw and color some of the gods and goddesses. In fact, religion was an important part of Roman daily life. If the gods were angry, terrible things could happen. To keep the gods happy, animals were sacrificed as

The gods and goddesses of ancient greece were a big part of their history. Zeus was the reason why they had the olympics. The olympics are all around the world now. There are many gods and goddesses that have shaped events and objects we used today.

In Greek mythology, there were two brothers named Epimetheus and Prometheus. The two of them gave fire to the people without asking Zeus. As punishment for what they did Zeus chained Prometheus to a mountain. For Epimetheus, Zeus planned to create charming and deceitful woman. He sent her as a gift. Her name was Pandora she was the first woman on Earth. He had Hephaestus, the god of craftsmanship, to create her. She was made out of water and dirt. Pandora and Epimetheus were arranged to get married as engagement gift Zeus gave pandora a box and asked her to never open it.

The legendary Queen Cassiopeia one day announced she was more beautiful than all the Nereids. Nereids are stunningly beautiful sea spirits, who thought this was terribly wrong. They then told Poseidon, god of sea and storms. Poseidon sent a sea monster after her husband King Cepheus. He then discovered that he would would need to give the serpent his daughter, Andromeda, so he could save his kingdom from the monster. He put his daughter where the serpent would find her. Then along came the wonderful hero Perseus who saved her.

She callously asks for her womanliness to be sacrificed so that she will be able to carry out her murderous intentions:

Athena was the virgin goddess of wisdom and good counsel, war, the defense of towns, heroic,endeavor, weaving, pottery, and various other crafts. Athena was depicted as a stately woman armed with a shield and spear, and wearing a long robe, crested helm, and the famed snake trimmed cape.Known for protecting civilized life, she was the goddess of the city. Athena was praised for her compassion and generosity.She is the daughter of Zeus.

She lived in this house all alone with nothing to do. One day a shower of gold fell from the sky and filled the chamber. She became pregnant with a child that she knew belonged to the god Zeus. She tried to keep the child a secret, but in the end her father discovered her son Perseus.

The myth I have chosen is from the Ancient Greek culture. It is the tale of Perseus and Medusa. From 800 to 500 B.C., this culture flourished in what is now northeastern portion of the Mediterranean region. I believe this myth shows the complexities and difficulties in Ancient Greek culture. The story of Perseus’ journey to face evil arose to give the Greek’s hope and courage.

Perseus: king Aerisius of Argos was uncertain in battle, unlucky in the hunt and had flaring temper. His daughter wants a husband but he doesn’t want a son in law because he thinks that all he wants is to take the throne. He sent a messenger to the prophecy and it said that when she has a child, he would one day kill him. King Aerisuis killed the messenger and went back to his room to think about ways to prevent his daughter from having a child. He decided to lock her in a tower. One night, he saw the tower shine and when he went near the tower, he heard the cry of a baby. When he got inside, she was holding a baby and named him avenger, Perseus. Her father sent her on a boat with her baby and ended up getting to an island where her and her

Pandora into the world to bring to mankind “grief, cares, and all evil” (Shattuck 15).

Persephone was the gorgeous daughter of Zeus and Demeter. She was so beautiful that it attracted many of the gods and goddesses. As this was tough to have many pursuers Persephone was able to stay chaste and innocent.

The Romans as we know had many different gods and goddesses, for each and every aspect of their lives. The first god that I think of when thinking of the Roman Empire was Mars, the god of war. I can only assume that Mars was a god that was heavily prayed to because of the fact that he was the god of war, and so much of the Roman Empire revolved around this identity. A Roman soldier would hence most likely pray to Mars prior to battle in return for victory, success and survival. Since Mars was amongst the more powerful gods I closely associate Mars with much of the Roman Empire because of his association with war, and that it is said that he was the father of Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. The next god that comes to mind was Neptune,

Persephone is the queen of the underworld and is the daughter of zeus. Persephone was also called kore. She carries into effect the curses of men upon soles. Persephone was married to Hades. Persephone as a vegetation goddess witch means she can make things grow. Hades actually abducted her and brought her to the underworld. Her father allowed her to be kidnaped to marry zeus.

Ares was the god of war. He was handsome but hateful. He was the brother of Hephaestus and the son of Zeus. His power was that he was immortal, he was strong, and he was scary. Aphrodite was married to his brother, but she would have rather married him. Ares had the fastest and strongest horses in Mount
