Knowing about the Greek gods can be intresting. You can get to know things that you have not heard about them. Like the abilities the have, or the things they fight for. Some gods fight for honor, and some fight for power. Three important gods in Greek mythology are Zeus, Anthena, and Appollo.

Perceived merely by a bundle of myths and teachings belonging to the ancient Greeks, including gods, heroes, natures of the world, and ritual practices is the formation, stories, and everlasting affect and occurrence of mythology through novels, movies, tv shows, and even bedtime stories. Not only is this relevant in ancient and modern greek culture, but in modern cultures around the world as they are influenced by the stories of greek mythology, such as the olympic games, architecture, zodiac signs, and language.

In the Western Christian world, God has often been seen as a punishing deity that is easily angered and swiftly hands out discipline. Not remedial discipline to change the behavior of people, but vindictive, punitive judgment that only serves the desire for revenge. This vision of God usually twists people into being self-deprecating, guilt-laden zombies with a mindset not that different from the Flagellants. Many religious people today seem to constantly hold themselves in contempt, perpetually highlight their shortcomings, and denigrate themselves to no end. It is a blatant dishonesty to call such a god “good.” Instead, this is how a slave responds to a cruel master or a child to an abusive parent.

Folklore is a collection of stories passed down from generation to generation that include Legends, Myths, and Fairy Tales.

In John Stackhouse Jr.’s book he brings a different way of solving the problem of trusting a God with the realities of life. He starts out by asking the question, is there even a problem? To this he first looks at God from the point of view of the three main monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and finds God to be the only “Creator, Sustainer of the universe” who will lead us to final goodness (25). Then finds three main problems that Stackhouse says that we need to think of rationally before we do emotionally. We need to properly define evil, and it can be done in many ways. Evil is no more than an adjective, human beings, therefore, know what is good and evil because God shares with us the knowledge and this ability to judge and improve our morality. The pain, difficulties, and suffering we go through bring us character. Stackhouse often uses David Hume, as an example of a skeptic, who would then say if God is so all-knowing then why is there suffering in the first place. While modern philosophers can simply label the problem of good and evil to personal issues, because Jews, Christians, and Muslims have such a deep connection with a personal God, it brings issues. Stackhouse himself begins to wonder if this world is good, with all the evil,

Hubris is a Greek name that signifies a personality quality that possesses overconfidence, foolish pride. In the typical Greek, Hubris describes the characters of challenges and behaviors that gods send to an individual to imply nemesis or downfall. Hubristic is considered a personal characteristic not as a group (Russell 18). However, the group, which the offender belongs, may suffer similar consequences gods in the occurrence of the wrongful act. Furthermore, hubris shows the detachment from reality and overestimation of achievements, capabilities, and competence (Roman and Monica 16). Conversely, the quality is not associated with conventional expectation such as high esteem. Instead, it relates to variable self-esteem and inflated personal perception in the modest reality (Hansen 73). Regarding the above undesirable characteristics, the Greek and Roman mythologies do not like associating themselves with the quality (Hansen and William 34). The paper will use appropriate examples derived from the lessons to analyze the disadvantages of hubris as perceived in their mythologies.

In ancient mythology, the gods and goddesses that dominated Greek life, culture, and religious practices were essentially no different than humankind. Rather, it is suggested that the gods and goddesses worshipped by the Greeks were created in the likeness of man. Statues, monuments, paintings, and other artifacts depict these deities in human form, with human attributes and characteristics. The mythology that surrounds these immortal beings also reveals that Greek gods and goddesses were similar to humans in that they experienced highly complex emotions including love, jealousy, anger, and misery while exhibiting human actions of deception, retaliation, punishment, secrecy, and experimentation regarding sexuality.

In the beginning of mankind, religion was the centerpiece that cultures revolved their lives around. Such an important aspect in the development of mankind has caused much chaos and turmoil, as well as some of the most thought provoking theories and ideas from some of the greatest philosophers. One of those theories is the Divine Command theory. The Divine Command theory tries to explain the relation between God and what is morally correct and there have been many philosophers who have taken very opposing views on the theory in order to determine of society should accept this theory.

Relationships among man and woman Emilia and Iago Emilia's relationship with Iago has no trust or affection on either side. Her relationship with her husband is not directly exhibited, but is gradually shown throughout the story. In one of Iago's monologues he shows his distrust on his wife's fidelity and character. He assumes with no evident proof that his wife has been unfaithful to him. Throughout the play he shows no respect or affection towards his wife, and constantly attacks her and approaches her rudely. Emilia shows no more affection towards her husband then he does to her. In her talks with Desdemona she reveals pessimistic comments about men and her dissatisfaction with her relationship with her husband. She tries to be a good wife but shows no affection towards her husband. This kind of relationship shows that Iago would not have told her about his plans. The relationship between Iago and Emilia is also a superb example of power in gender roles as they were prescribed by the Renascence society. Iago, the masculine being in the relationship has the power to describe, define and ultimately destroy Emilia; the feminine persona. The definition of women as subservient to men is exemplified in their behavior toward each other. [Focault, 1978] Othello's centerpiece, the sexual union of a black man and a white woman, has fascinated audiences for generations, tapping into deep-seated fears of cultural and racial "miscegenation". Earlier generations were less willing to

To many individuals, morality and religion are two related but distinct ideas. To be specific, morality consists of principles set by societal norms concerning the distinction between right and wrong and good and bad behaviour among persons. Alternatively, religion involves the relationship between human beings and a transcendent reality or a superhuman controlling power, God. In many societies in the past and present, the idea of God is used to help reinforce moral codes as valuable and vital through rituals and methods of presenting the teachings of God. By many, religion is used to instil fear

Religion in the world has always been considered a rather important aspect of society. Although this is true, there are still people that question the existence of God. A survey done among 1000 people showed that 65 percent of Americans believe that religion is losing its influence on American life (Sheler, 8). Even so, Belief in a God is necessary for a moral society because since the beginning of history man has always made up some sort of role model to explain events and situations that seem inexplicable, God gives people a sense of comfort and hope to know they aren’t alone, and when a society believes in a God, there is a religion behind it that gives ethics and values that they must
