The Trials Of Apollo: The Hidden Oracle

In Greek Mythology a rivalry always occurs between certain Gods and Goddesses. In the case of Apollo and Dionysus there is no exception. They are half brothers, both sons of Zues and they compete just as most brothers do. Though the two Greek Gods, Apollo and Dionysus, were actually very similar in some ways, they severely contrasted in others.

The Apollonian and the Dionysian is a philosophical concept based on different mythologies, many Philosophers and figures have invoked this dichotomy in critical and creative works. Both are one of the important themes within Nietzsche’s first major work, The Birth of Tragedy and they are terms used to designate the two central principles in Greek culture.

Most people associate myths with made up creatures like werewolves and unicorns, or supernatural beings with magical powers like Gods and Genies. But the only thing that is required to make a myth what it is, is it can’t be real. Every made up story is a myth. But, to the Greeks a myth was more than just a made up story. They were sacred texts used to explain how the Earth and humans came to be. But once rational explanations about the world’s history started appearing in other areas, the myths they valued so much remained as cultural artifacts, stories to pass down to the next generations. One of the popular myths still appears in some modern literature, and that is The Myth of Prometheus.

The people whose lives we read about in the Bible are not the invention of some writer’s fertile mind. They were flesh, blood, and bone human beings. Feelings, emotions, trials, and temptations, were as real in Joseph’s time as they are today. It is a fact we must never lose track of. The Odyssey, Ivanhoe, and The Chronicles of Gilgamesh, are literary works containing historical figures, but we do not take them as literal truth. The word of God is absolute truth containing literal events as they pertained to the Revelation of God’s will for the people in the Bible.

To be a prophet is to see the future with the same intention as God himself while being seen as the one who speaks for Him. Apollo, a God of Olympians, is known as a God of Prophecy. As well as being the God of Prophecy, he was known as the God of Poetry, Archery, Healing, Protection of the Young, and Light. Apollo, also known as Apollon and in another case, Phoebus, is known to be one of the most complex gods. Apollo plays many different roles in Greek Mythology which in turn make the role of Apollo himself, one of the most important.

Greek mythology is a subject that has fascinated humans for millennia, that has inspired numerous books and movies alike. While the family tree of the Gods is a huge, and slightly confusing article of notice, full of many characters, both monstrous and beatific, two siblings are worth noting more so than others. Apollo and Artemis, twin siblings of the moon and sun, patron of archers, have been a subject of fascination for historians and mythology fans alike. These siblings have been known as both ruthless and fair on many occasions in Greek literature and are believed by some to be the most influential characters of the Ancient Greece. While they have been viewed as equal in importance, there are some key differences that make Artemis superior

Ask anyone whom they believe to be a musical “god,” and they can cite many proficient musicians: Classical prodigies like Mozart and Beethoven, 20th century modernist composers such as Shostakovich, Wagner, and Arnold Schoenberg; even rock and roll legends like Jimmy Page, Frank Zappa, or Jimi Hendrix. But this term, “musical god,” could only have originated from one: Apollo, the literal Greek god of music. No matter how often mortal musicians practiced and dedicated themselves to their instrument, Apollo could easily best them. The god’s prowess was the subject of contrast in Ancient Greek culture.

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.

It may be possible, if the monstrous rhetoric could be traced to its origin, to establish a type of meta-structure by which to identify uses of language and metaphor which rely on the monstrous to create difference or marginality. A brief look into the European origins of cannibalism, not as a practice but as a metaphorical construction, leads back to the Saturn myth. Again, Zika notes the use of the Saturn myth as the “explicit basis for [the] association between witch and cannibal,” and notes the similarity between depictions of the god who ate his own kind and depictions of both witches and cannibals. Sociologically, marginalized classes of people tended to be associated with Saturn throughout the Middle Ages, including “criminals, cripples, beggars, the elderly and low-born, the poor, and those involved in vulgar and dishonorable trades”; by the time of Columbus, the category of “Saturn’s children” had been expanded to include “the dead, magicians, and witches.” It is also easy to see how the fear of consumption, so plainly manifested in the Saturn myth, also manifested in blatantly similar ways in a variety of Christian metaphors from the sixteenth century. For instance, hell was often depicted as an all-devouring mouth that opened as a cleft in the earth, and many popular representations of Satan, including Dante’s in the Inferno, depict him as a figure who consumes the bodies of sinners, often with limbs still hanging from his slavering jaws. Such imagery

Zeus, though married to Hera, had some problems with fidelity. He impregnated Leto, the daughter of a Titan.When he was four days old, he asked Hephaestus to make him silver bows and arrows. Hephaestus created them for him. Apollo was

While the film and poem have the same overall plots, revolving around the takeover of Troy by the Greeks, the feud between Achilles and king Agamemnon, and such events that ultimately triggered the actions of the Trojan prince Paris stealing Helen of Sparta. While at the same time, revolving around the same general plotline, in that of Homer’s Iliad, many significant differences separate these two works of art from one another. This indifferent between several key aspects is most noticeable in regards to the overall progression of years
