The Journey Of Phineus And Amara

Odysseus ends up in Phaeacia and forms relationships that he probably should not be forming while his wife is back at home waiting for him. After finally escaping from Calypso’s grasp and surviving Poseidon's rage, Odysseus washes up on the phaeacians land. Odysseus goes out to socialize with the girls walking around town, while naked and covered in filth and goes up to Nausicaa. He proceeds to tell her that she is the most beautiful person his eyes have ever landed on and that whenever he looks at her, a sense of wonder strikes him (6.148-177).

When he lands at Carthage and Venus is kind enough to give him information about Dido's people, she is disguised and departs immediately after having spoken, to the despair of Aeneas ("you so often mock your own son...you too are cruel" A.1.406). The other help he receives is limited ("thick mist" A.1.411) and with no knowledge of its existence. Whilst his mother is vehement in defending her son and his people when she is on Olympus ("it is unspeakable. We are betrayed" A.1.252 "take pity on them" A.10.60), no action is taken to ease him in his distress or console him in person. Within the Aeneid, the gods are not the ever-present guardians that Athene is to Odysseus in the Odyssey, whether they agree or not ("Hercules checked the great groan... helpless tears streamed" A.10.465). Athene on the other hand, not only helps Odysseus with her divine power but she gives him advice ("go to the swineherd" O.13.403), disguises him ("change you beyond recognition" O.13.396), and even cares for his family ("instil more spirit into Odysseus' son" O.1.89,  "prompted the wise Penelope" O.21.1). She is very intimate with Odysseus, conversing at length and speaking very openly ("you are so persuasive, so quick-witted, so self-possessed" O.13.333). Whilst Venus never alights on the earth to console Aeneas in his grief ("heart sick at the sadness of war" A.8.29), Athene can not bear to leave her hero

To attempt to appease the sea gods, Cassiopeia tied Persephone (her daughter) to a rock as a sacrifice. Andromeda was saved by Perseus.

On the way to the ships Odysseus plotted to kill Diomedes and take all the credit, but Diomedes saw the glint of moonlight reflected off the sword, spun and grabbed it with his bare hands, he then trussed Odysseus up like a chicken and tied his hands behind his back and drove along in front beating him with the flat of the sword all the way back to the ships. During the sack of Troy Odysseus spots an injured Aeneas fleeing the burning city with his young son and carrying his feeble father. Odysseus right away runs to inform Diomedes, who has lusted for the blood of Aeneas, Diomedes rushes to make the kill, but his heart is softened upon seeing the brave soldiers efforts to save his family. Diomedes then allows them safe passage from the city. After the fall of Troy Diomedes was one of the few Achaean kings to return home safely and without much delay. Upon reaching Argos he found his wife had taken another lover in his absence and under her orders he was barred entrance into the city. He then set sail for Atolia but was shipwreaked of the coast of Lycia there he was captured by the king Lycus, and was to be sacrificed to the war god Ares, but the kings own daughter took pity on him and helped him in escaping. He set sail again and landed in Italy where he founds

A journey to return home: into the arms of his wife and child. But that’s not really why he left me, I know that. He may have wanted to return to Ithaca, but it definitely wasn’t because of them. As much as his tellings of the story make Penelope into some saint-like figure who’s so morally pure, she wouldn’t leave a man who’s got as much shame as the dead, she wasn’t his top priority. He may have thought of her from time to time, as an extra incentive for him when he returned home, but she was never his main goal. He cared about his power, his fame, and the glory his journey (and story) would bring him. If he really loved his wife, he would have told her the whole story, about us, about Circe, about every place he thought about settling, from Troy to

Theseus and Pirithus were in love with Helen and Persephone respectively. When I found out about this, I invited both along with Aethra to the Underworld. When they sat at the table to eat, snakes appear around their feet to hold them. Then, Heracles found out that I had prison Aethra. So, Theseus and Pirithus went to the underworld to rescue them. I was able to save only Theseus and Aethra, but Pirithus stayed as a punishment for seek the wife of a God.

Two months later she would gave birth to a son whom they named Agamemnon. Eventually the day came for Atrius to sail to his old home with 15,000 men. When they arrived Atrius asked the Trojans for a meeting with the king of Troy. Priam was excited to hear about Atrius’s return, but that excitement quickly died when Atrius explained that he was there to destroy him not join him. Priam tried to change his mind but Atrius wouldn’t listen and replied, “ I will give you and your people a day to prepare”. Priam was stunned and didn’t know what to do, so he did the only thing he could do and prepared his army. He brought all his people out of the city and inside the city walls. He then would gather up his military and prepare for

Thales said goodbye to her friend and flew away. As Tetra walked home she replayed the day’s events. She felt very lucky to have such good friends who would tell her about so many new and interesting facts about

“I am Aphrodite. I will protect you from my vindictive sister Athena who thinks you committed a sacrilege against her. You have done the right thing and now you must lead your people to a land which will be boundless in its ability to bring mores and a refined culture to the world. I will guide you and let you know when you have arrived! Like your great grandfather, Aeneas, you have a destiny to fulfill!” Then she turned and looked at Ignoge and mused, “She is beautiful isn’t she? That’s because she looks something like me! Almost as beautiful as I am. Take care of her!” Brutus burst into full consciousness. Aphrodite was gone! He looked at Ignoge then at Capetus on the afterdeck and fell back into a deep restful

When he has accomplished this, Odysseus finally reunites with Penelope. As the story closes, the Ithacans are in pursuit of Odysseus, because he has killed their sons, the suitors of Penelope. Before retribution can take place, the feud ends by divine intervention. Thus the story of Odysseus and his long and troublesome return home comes to an end.

Isis cried over the loss of her husband and Nephthys felt sorry for her sister. Isis, has great powers, so she decided to look and find all of the pieces of osiris her husband. Nephthys went and helped. After Isis and Nephthys found osiris’s pieces Isis put him back together, Isis breathed the breath of life into his body and resurrected

Athene is the goddess who favors Odysseus and Telemachus. She wishes for the return of Odysseus, and it is thanks to her in part that Odysseus survives.

Upon their death sentence, the lives of Agape and Chionia were taken and to be burned alive on the pyre, however Sisinnius chose to spare Irina because of her youth and also he might be able to convince her to change her ways. Though his attempt to persuade her failed, she was left in the hands of the soldiers who left her on top of a mountain.

Yet the most cunning legends once told on this island must be the Ancient Greek myths. They were remembered, retold; they survived from the fires of war, traveled from islands to mainlands, they were washed by time without fading away. In it we not only saw gods and love, but also humanity.
