Athena resolves the conflicts of the Oresteia with an ambiguous judgment that seems to satisfy all parties involved. However, in any conflict, at least one party must make sacrifices to work toward a resolution. Athena achieves her paradoxical result by misleading Apollo to think that he has received total victory in judgment and by offering compensatory powers to the Erinyes, thus creating an illusion of satisfaction for all amidst a reality of compromise.

It will therefore argue that, while journeys undoubtedly have cultural significance and personal implications, and inner journeys influence the nature, trajectory, and perception of outer journeys, and vice versa, the manifestations of these journeys do not necessarily reflect one another in a traditional sense. To demonstrate this, the necessity of these characters undertaking journeys, and thus the personal implications of these journeys, will be analysed. Further, the influence of culture on Icarus and Damon’s respective journeys will be detailed and investigated. Finally, Damon and Icarus’ internal and external journeys, as well as their awareness of, and ability to actively or passively participate in these journeys, will be compared and contrasted. Ultimately, such analyses will establish that journey narratives are subjective, complex, and nuanced, and even between two comparable pieces of literature can vary greatly in conception, application, and influence.

Also, Nic must face the truth that his sister, Livia, has turned on him to assist General Radulf, leaving him with very few allies. The author does a great job with the setting throughout the book. In the first chapter, Nielsen describes the slave mines in the outskirts of Rome, “The entrance to the secret cave was buried deep below the earth’s surface” (12).

Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a book set during World War 2 about a group of young boys having to fend for themselves on an island with no signs of civilization. Within the novel, there are many different themes, most conveying the ingrained evil within all human beings and the malevolent complexions of humanity. As the story advances, Golding manifests the continuous conversion of the boys from being civilized and methodical people to ferocious savages. The book can be expounded in terms of political and social allegory. Golding covers a myriad of details that evince two contrasting political factions. By analyzing the allegory of Jack and the beast it is

The myths of Achilles are well known, and are mentioned in modern society. But, they have been morphed to society’s desires. This is demonstrated in the movie Troy, where the stories have been changed for modern audience. The director condensed the story, and changed the story to show some romanticism and love. This is shown from the absence of the greek gods, significance of certain characters, inaccurate information, the morphed traits of certain characters, and the falsehood of romantic presence. In greek society the gods played a great role in the Trojan war, which was not mentioned in the movie.

In the origins of Greece, ancient Greek mythology and sources have explained incidents of the oracles of Delphi. The Delphic oracles were primarily female prophets who were told to have inhaled certain vapors from a spring in the temple of the Greek god, Apollo, which allowed the prophets to serve as a supernatural connection to the specific God. Despite the historical evidence that supports the idea of the mysterious oracle vapors, modern day archeologists and geologists rejected the idea completely. Many of the rejections are due to the lack of archeological findings of vapors at Delphi. Two men by the name of Jelle Zeilinga De Boer, a chemist, and John Hale, an archeologist, had then stepped up to study both the geological

In Oracle Bones, Peter Hessler (2006) explores the history and culture of China, incorporating personal and social commentary. Hessler (2006) also weaves personal stories of individual Chinese people into Oracle Bones, to provide both a broad and an intimate narrative. The three core personal narratives are vastly different, to capture the diversity of Chinese culture and society. One of the people that Hesler (2006) follows is a Uighur (Muslim from Eastern China), who successfully endeavors to leave China for the United States. Named Polat, the Uighur's perspective on Chinese society and politics provides an interesting counterpart to the entire tale of Oracle Bones. The second personal narrative belongs to Chen Mengjia, who lends Hessler's book its title because Cheng Mengjia was an oracle bone scholar. The oracle bones become the title for Hessler's (2006) book because they symbolize the continuity between past, present, and future that characterizes modern China.
