The Role Of The Mermaid And The Sea God

One afternoon Theseus was in his room when a little note was slid under his door and it told him to go down to the courtyard the crack of dawn and so he did. It was princess Ariadne who was going to help him defeat the Minotaur, she gave him a magical string that would help find his way through the labryrinth, the giant maze made by Daedalus and a sword. The next morning they were going into the labryrinth. As soon as they were in, it was dark and wet with bones all around. Theseus told one of the Athenian children to hold one end of the string when he set off. Once Theseus was deep into the maze he heard a rumble and he knew that was Minotaur. He ran in to the Minotaur with sword at hand it gave out a big groan. Theseus cut through it a couple more times to make sure it was dead. With a sigh of relief he walked back. At the entrance Ariadne was waiting to open the door to let them out. When the Athenians got out and quickly got a ship to sail back, but Theseus forgot to fly white sails so once King Aegean of Athens through himself off a cliff because he thought his son had died. After his death they named the sea after him, the Aegean

The Odyssey, by Homer, was written with the Greek mindset that women were supposed to be submissive. If the woman in question was not submissive enough, she was depicted as cruel, selfish, a monster, or a whore. This is true for both mortal women, such as Penelope, and immortal goddesses, such as Calypso. Mortal women were expected to be good faithful wives who listened to everything the head of the household said, while goddesses were expected to follow the gods every order and were called sexist slurs if they ever got involved with a mortal man.

The Greco-Roman society was a very patriarchal society. This is reflected throughout the myths in classical mythology. By looking at the classic mythology we will see that the roles women portrayed are very different than women's roles in today's society. Although there are a few similarities to women's roles in today's society, their roles are more like those women in the past. We can see this by looking at the attributes of Greco-Roman female gods and looking at the roles women play in the myths. By comparing the roles of women in the myths with women's roles today we will see that the roles have many differences and few similarities.

Long ago under the sea, there lived a royal mermaid family in a beautiful kingdom. Queen Ryell bore six flawless daughters to King Adron, however, one was not ordinary. She was the youngest mermaid and never fit in with the rest of the girls. She possessed long blonde curly hair with bright blue eyes. She was unique in her own way and talked to everyone she caught sight of. Although she was curious of what was outside of the Kingdom gates, she obeyed her parents and never departed. Her name was Luna.

The Greek’s conception of the universe was anchored in the ever presence of the sea and they imagined the farthest limits of the earth to be a wide expanse of water. While enabling them to be a sea-faring people, the ocean also forced them to face the constant threat of becoming shipwrecked and dying at sea. In face of the threat posed by the sea, the Greeks sought to demonstrate that the forces of nature must be endured by man, and more importantly, that these forces must also be overcome by his efforts, his action, and his intelligence.

The god of the sea is so powerful that he can sink ships with his trident. He punishes people with his trident, and with rough waves in the sea. He also punishes people with sea monsters. He punished Odysseus because he made Poseidon's son Polyphemus blind, taunted him, and revealed Polyphemus’ real name. Polyphemus prayed to his father Poseidon and he cursed Odysseus. Poseidon was furious at Odysseus for doing that. Polyphemus was furious at Odysseus for doing that too. Just for doing that Odysseus was cursed for the rest of his

Odysseus’s cunning thoughts that had allowed him to escape from the cyclops's cave holding him and some of his crew members captive, but it was Odysseus's egotistical self that revealed his true identity to Polyphemus as he sailed away and resulted in almost drowning his ship and everyone aboard. After hardly escaping, Polyphemus prayed to his father, Poseidon, the god of the seas,

Poseidon, the most famous God of the sea, was represented as extremely powerful, with a violent and vengeful disposition. (Sellers) First, Poseidon was the God of many things, such as the God of the sea, earthquakes, and horses. He was the brother of two Gods, Zeus and Hades. (Skidmore) Poseidon plays a very important part in The Odyssey because he is first introduced as a god who is out to get Odysseus because he blinded his son, Polyphemus, a Cyclops. Next, Poseidon tries to do everything he can to make sure Odysseus doesn’t get home to Ithaca, so he sends a very strong storm to mess up Odysseus’ raft which he was building to help him get off of Calypso’s island. Odysseus and his crew were swimming in the sea when they found a cave that was filled with sheep. The cave belonged to Polyphemus, and he wasn’t happy when he found out that Odysseus and his crew had slaughtered his sheep, so he said that since they had eaten his food, he was going to slowly eat them. Lastly, Odysseus steps up and tries to save his crew by giving Polyphemus wine which made him drunk. (Polyphemus) When he fell asleep, Odysseus blinded him so he couldn’t see them sneaking out. Poseidon was not happy at all when he found out that his son had to suffer this kind of way.

Many years ago, the world had no water. The land was dry and there was no water to drink. Poseidon always had dreams of a blue liquid, but he never knew what it was. The land became bad and would continue if someone didn’t help. His father, Cronus, told him every day that he would become a powerful god. Little did he know, pretty soon he would be the god of the sea with some help from a goddess.

The male equivalent of a mermaid is the merman. Mermaids is a worldwide folklore in many cultures, including the United States, many European Countries, Africa, and Eastern Asian Countries. It first appeared in ancient Assyria, in a story in which the goddess Atargatis transformed herself into a mermaid out of shame for accidentally killing her lover. Mermaids are associated with hazardous events such as floods, storms, shipwrecks, and drowning, but some folk can be benevolent or beneficent, bestowing, or devoting with humans. Some Famous Folklore are “The Mystery and Lore of Monsters”, “Incredible Mysteries and Legends of the Sea”, “Little Mermaid”, and “Mermaids The Body Found”.

He began his walk to his home up in the city, but it was as if a person wrapped their strong arms around his chest, and pulled him. He couldn’t fight back so he gave up trying. He spotted the tree that the group usually stopped at to wait for him, but they weren’t there today. His heart started to beat out of his chest. “Where could they be? What game are they playing?” Poseidon questioned. He passed the tree, searching around for any sign of them. Nothing. Nothing! He couldn’t believe that the day had finally come where he had some peace. He began to add a hop in his step. A faint smile creeped upon his smile, one that hadn’t appeared for months at times. Poseidon took a deep breath in and took a step across the tree. He sighed. He finally crossed the ‘death path,’ or so he called it, without being abused. Full of pride, he takes his next step. Little did he expect the painful impact of the heavy rock, flying from the shadows hiding in the

In the times of ancient Greece, there were ample tales, myths, and legends surrounding the realm of the sea; many of which included fearsome beasts, epic struggles, and angered gods. There are tales of vengeance, spite, cruelty, and rage, but there are also those of understanding, compassion, helpfulness, and benevolence. When one subjects many of the more malevolent (and sometimes disturbing) tales to closer inspection, it becomes fairly evident that a great number of these stories use a feminine force in order to display the wraith of the sea and the sea gods or goddesses. In fact, many sea monsters are said to be female including Charybdis and Scylla (the horrors between which Odysseus and his crew must sail through the Strait of

With a label such as "God of the Sea," it's difficult not to gain an interest in such a tale. The tale being of a Greek God who is commonly known as Poseidon. Now, like stated before, Poseidon is a well known Greek mythology character, but he holds many different titles due to his various abilities."God of the Sea" is just one of them, and it is pretty self explanatory. Poseidon had some serious control over the vast blue waters.

This is a tale from a distant past. The legend of founding of the Kingdom of Asterialune. Asterialune is where you will find desire and hatred, divided into seven territories. Where you are standing on the shore of they’re unique ocean, the waters stretches far as you can see, to the horizon. It changes color with the light and the color of the sky, from green to blue to gray. And then, in twilight, you cannot tell the ocean from the sky. Ripples and waves unceasingly flow toward you, eventually break into foam, creep up to your feet and slide back. The ocean makes a sound like water surging and retreating. There is a scent of the salt water in the air, a smell like no other. This is where mermaids, aquatic animals, water
