Perseus And The Odyssey

Perseus son of Danae and Zeus, was thrown into the ocean while locked in a chest at birth by his grandfather because of a prophecy. Later found by a fisherman named Dictys who raised Perseus with Danae. The ruler of the land Polydectes was the brothe of Dictys and wanted Danae, so he told Perseus that he wanted a gorgon head. Perseus went on a long journey trying to find a gorgon. Athena and Hermes help find the gorgons and give Perseus the Equipment to kill a gorgon. Perseus travels back home to

1. After Perseus has successfully attained the head of Medusa, along with losing many of his men, he is confronted by Calibos. During Perseus’ fight scene with Calibos, Perseus uses the sword granted to him by his father for the first time. The overall lighting of this scene is very dark to symbolize Calibos’ wickedness. However, once Perseus draws his sword, the lighting brightens only on Perseus, and he becomes the focal point of the scene. As a result, lighting is effectively used in this scene

If I were to summarize Clash of the Titans, it would be that Perseus, son of Zeus, watched his entire family die as a result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, as a result of which he pursues the gorgon medusa in order to use her head to defeat the kraken. My summery of the Greek version would be that, Perseus; son of Zeus was cast out on the ocean with his mother in a trunk. After being discovered by a fisherman, Perseus grows up accepting his godly half, goes after medusa to save his

but Zeus impregnates her. Danaë, the daughter, gives birth to Perseus. The King locks Danaë and Perseus in a chest and casts them out to sea. The two eventually wash up at the home of Dictys, a kind fisherman, whose brother Polydectes, is the cruel ruler of the surrounding area. Polydectes wants to get rid of Perseus and marry Danaë, and asks Perseus to go kill Medusa, a horrible Gorgon (a supposed impossible task) The Gods favor Perseus and give him a mirrored shield, a sword. The Graiae (three gray

guard at all time • But Zeus impregnated her and Perseus was born • Soon the King found the baby and put Perseus and Danae in a box and set them out into the Sea • But the boat landed on an island where a very kind fisherman called Dictys lived • Dictys’ Brother was called King Polydectes and fell in love with Danae • Yet he could not marry her as Perseus was in the way • So one day he told all the men on the Island that he wanted horses

brave, Perseus has the same description. Perseus is the son of the god of all gods, Zeus. His mother is Danae who was locked away in a tower by her father so she would not have kids. Well, that does not work because she has Perseus. Her father puts her in a chest and throws her into sea (Rector 1). A man who saves them falls in love with Danae named King Polydectes, who hated Perseus being around. According to Rector, “He sent Perseus on a quest to kill the Gorgon, Medusa, knowing that Perseus would

along the way, and in the end, Odysseus is the sole man of his fleet to survive the long journey. Although Odysseus from The Odyssey is portrayed as a brave hero who saves his crew from danger, in reality, it is Odysseus’ pride and overconfidence that put him and his sailors in unnecessarily dangerous situations, especially when compared to other greek heroes. The Odyssey makes Odysseus seem like a constant rescuer, but the negative impacts of his actions greatly outweigh the positives. Towards

The creative forms discussed from the speakers on drama, music, movie and animation where all very interesting different views on how the odyssey impacted them. Wether the speaker used it for theraputic instances or leisure reading or even theater. The type I experienced was in one of my favorite movies “Clash of the Titans” Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Science Fiction Directed by Louis Leterrier. The story takes place in ancient times after defeating their predecessors, the Titans, the gods divided

proving when Greek mythology actually began; Greek myths are chronicled through Homer’s epics, Iliad and The Odyssey, which seem to have existed at least 700 years prior to when Roman civilization even began (Greek vs Roman). Before these epics were written, Greek myths were passed along through spoken word. Also, when comparing and contrasting the Roman epic Aeneid to Homer’s Iliad and The Odyssey one will notice how similar they are. They both follow the story of the Trojan War. Aeneid follows the life

The Odyssey is a fascinating epic poem consisting of twenty-four books all written by Homer. It is based on a Greek hero named Odysseus, who spends twenty years away from his family. Odysseus was in a battle against the Trojans in the Trojan War for the first ten years. Then, another ten years of painful obstacles was added due to his boastful attitude towards the gods and goddesses. When returning back to Ithaca, Odysseus encounters numerous of hardships with the help of the goddess, Athena. He
