The Between Humans And The Gods

God and humans have had a relationship since God created them. This relationship started with humans thinking of God as their father and creator, and a God who forgives. We think of God this way because as humans we can be hospitable and kind, but we can also not follow God’s plan and make mistakes. These mistakes reveal the forgiveness in God, and our hospitality and kindness show that God is our Father and loves us. Humans direct relationship with God allows him to work through us and show humans

Despite the similarities between gods’ and humans’ emotions (and appearances, on occasion), gods should not be mistaken for humans, especially on the topic of their morals. For example, the gods are angry if a goddess marries/takes a human lover. This is shown when Dawn fell in love with Orion, and Orion was immediately killed.

undeniable similarity between them. In each text, there is a section that speaks of a flood brought down by the gods in order to kill all living things. An ark that saved one pair of each species ensuring that they can eventually repopulate the earth. Within these two texts, the flood stories have analogous events within them, but there is one pivotal difference that sets the two stories apart. There are many elements of the stories that leads to a major difference between the texts. These reasons

Covenant is promise or contract between two parties with certain set of conditions. Sometimes one of the parties involved could be stronger than the other. For example, in the case of the covenant between God and Israel, or other that, an agreement can be between two people at the same position or level. The covenants can be either conditional or unconditional. In this essay, I will discuss the use of Covenant as a way that people relate with God as well as the way people relate among themselves

The Iliad tells the story of the battles between the Achaeans and the Trojans, and the events happening during the weeks of arguing between King Agamemnon, the leader of the Greeks, and Achilles, Greece’s greatest warrior. These events play the role of a playground for the gods, as they often intervene and usually change the outcome of certain events. In regard to Homer, Longinus claims that he feels “indeed that in recording as he does the wounding of the gods, their quarrels, vengeance, tears, imprisonments

native Persians was focused on a main god, Ahura mazda. The Persian religion was “...centered on an elaborate cult of kingship…” and these kings were believed to have a connection to Ahura mazda. In contrast, the Greek people had the same gods and religion throughout their empire, which were present not only in myth and stories, but also in daily life.

The portrayal of Gods in Homer’s “The Iliad” and the ancient Sumerian poem “The Epic of Gilgamesh” has many parallels and divergences in regard to their interactions and relations with human beings. Although there is a difference of nearly 1000 years between the release of both of the epic poems, a firm analogy can be established between these works. The Gods in “The Epic of Gilgamesh” are portrayed as more inconclusive and detached from humans while the Gods of “The Iliad” are shown as decisive
