What Does Hephaestus Look Like

King Acrisius was king of Argos. He had an amazingly beautiful daughter, but he wished deeply for a son, so he prayed to the gods for them to give him a son. Apollo,the god of culture and prophecy, told him that he will never have a son in all his days and that the son of his daughter will slay him. Acrisius thinks of just killing his daughter,Danae, to prevent his prophecy, but fears of the punishment he will receive from the gods for this act, so he instead locks his daughter in an entirely bronze house and guards it closely. What he did not expect is for the king of the gods Zeus to come directly to his daughter and impregnate her. From this comes a son named Perseus. When Acrisius learns of his daughter's offspring, he puts both Perseus and Danae in a trunk and sets it off into the ocean. By luck or by the will of Zeus Perseus and Danae wash up onto a small island, where a kind hearted fisherman named Dictys takes in the two strangers. They live contently with Dictys until Dictys' brother, King Polydectes, fell in love with Danae. He decides to construe a plot to get rid of her son,Perseus, so that he can have her. The plan he comes is to convince Perseus to go and slay the woman-beast Medusa. He thinks this feat impossible by a mortal man, because any man who lays eyes upon her turns to stone. To aid him on his quest Hermes gives him a sword stronger than that of Medusa's scale. He also told him he would need equipment from the nymphs of the north, who's location was unknown by all except the Gray Women who are ray and live in gray.The three sisters share one eye between them all and

When Hercules was a young adult, his stepmother Hera cast a kind of spell on him that drove him temporarily insane and caused him to murder his beloved wife and their two children. Guilty and heartbroken,

Shortly after humans were created, they came to suffer. With fire recently taken away, the conditions were harsh. It rained almost everyday, and humans were dying at a remarkable rate. Recently abandoned by Zeus, Hephaestus was angry. Why should humans have to suffer like I do? What did they do to Zeus? Being a builder, Hephaestus knew that he must do something. He built and he built, trying to find a way to keep humans safe. Finally, he built a house made of mud and sticks. It kept humans protected from the elements, and kept them warm in the coldest of conditions. He brought it to the humans, who rejoiced. Now, Zeus was angry. He had taken away fire to punish Prometheus, and now Hephaestus was interfering? Angry and bitter, Zeus banished

Hera was jealous of all the girls who were madly in love with Hercules. She eventually drove Hercules insane. This insanity drove him to throw all of his children and two of his own brothers into a massive fire. Later, Hercules marries Deianeira. Deianeira and Hercules were madly in love. A centaur that goes by the name of Nessus eventually abducted Deianeira. With the desperation of getting her back, Hercules shot Nessus with an arrow coated in poison. As Nessus withered away, he gave Deianeira his bloody shirt. He claimed that if Hercules truly loved her, he would wear the shirt. That was the only way she would ever know if his love for her was real. Deianeira became obsessed with this information given to her, and came to believe Hercules was having an affair. She gave him the shirt, asking him to wear it. He denied it, but with her pleads, put it on. As soon as the shirt touched his skin, the poison left from his own arrow touched it as well. He writhed in pain as the flesh was ripped from his bones. Because Hercules was a demigod, his mortal body burned to death, yet his immortal body ascended to Mount

Hephaestus was the Greek god of blacksmiths, sculptors, metallurgy, fire and volcanoes. He is known as the greek god with a hammer, an anvil, and a pair of tongs. Hephaetus was the son of Zeus and Hera. When Hephaestus was born, Rumor was Hera his mother threw him from Olympus because he was crippled at birth; he was thrown into the ocean to die was discovered and raised by Thetis and Eurynome. Another myth was that he tried to protect his mother Hera from Zeus' advances only resulted, that his father flung him down to an island on hard impact from Olympus, which caused his physical disability. The island he fell on is called Lemnos where he became a master craftsman. He was later reaccepted back to Olympus, and became the craftsman of the

The female characters portrayed in Aeschylus and Sophocles’ works have considerably different personalities and roles, yet those females all have the common weaknesses of being short-sighted and stubborn. They intensify the conflicts within their families while being inconsiderate of the impacts that they may bring to their nations and societies, which leads to consequences that they are incapable of taking responsibilities for. Clytemnestra and Antigone, two major characters in their respective author’s works, possess different motivations for their deeds in the stories. While Clytemnestra is driven by the desire of revenge to murder her husband Agamemnon, Antigone acts against Creon’s will and strives to properly bury her brother. Despite having different motivations and personalities, Clytemnestra and Antigone both commit

That fall has said to have made him lame. According to Martin “Hera never knew her lame son’s fate…she never gave him a second thought” (89). As time passes and Hephaestus matures in the sea with Thetis, he was found to be skilled at making jewelry. When Hera hears of the skilled craftsman, she “divined that it was her own son and demanded him back” (Evslin 50). She only wants her son back because he became useful, she does not care for him. When Hephaestus returns to his new home on Olympus, Hera gives him a decrepit mountain as a place to work and live. She does not give him a home like the other gods have and has him making her fine things with Cyclopes around the clock. Hephaestus agrees to go back only because “…he loved her and excused her cruelty to him” (Evslin 50). Sacks writes that Hephaestus once “took his mother’s side in a quarrel between her and Zeus, and this time Zeus threw him down from the mountain” (“Hephaestus” Par. 3). All Hephaestus is searching for is his mother’s approval and will to do anything to get it.

Hephaestus is the Greek God of fire, metalworkings, stone ma sonry, forges and the art of sculptures . He is known to the Romans as Vulcan . Hephaestus was the son of Hera and Zeus .

Hestia was napping peacefully, when a god named Priapus suddenly attempted to rape her (“Hestia”). Coincidentally, a donkey that Silenus, another god, rode to the banquet, let out a loud screech for no apparent reason (“Hestia”). Hestia is suddenly awakened by this, and the gods rush to help her from Priapus (“Hestia”). Myths are scarce when it comes to Hestia, but there are a few buried underneath the

She was a bad wife and got what she deserved. Aphrodite was a beautiful goddess. She got all of the attention from all of the male gods, even if she was married to Hephaestus. Her favorite suitor was Hephaestus’s brother Ares, God of war. They were often seen hooking up by Heliod the sun titan.

Ernest Hemmingway was one of the most influential authors of the early twentieth century. He wrote many of his infamous novels and stories from the 1920s to the 1950s. Hemmingway was known for his way to write simple and terse, yet he was able to hold an unseen power behind his words. He lived a life filled with adventures and exploration, but died feeling alone. His experiences in life very much influenced his writing, and in many ways, his own personal stories can be seen in his works.

In the Greek play Antigone writer Sophocles illustrates the clash between the story’s main character Antigone and her powerful uncle, Creon. King Creon of Thebes is an ignorant and oppressive ruler. In the text, there is a prevailing theme of rules and order in which Antigone’s standards of divine justice conflict with Creon’s will as the king. Antigone was not wrong in disobeying Creon, because he was evil and tyrannical. The authors of “Antigone: Kinship, Justice, and the Polis,” and “Assumptions and the Creation of Meaning: Reading Sophocles’ Antigone.” agree with the notion that Antigone performs the role of woman and warrior at once. She does not only what a kinswoman would, but also what a warrior would do.

The mythological character and God, Zeus, is portrayed in many ways, by many different people. Hesiod describes Zeus as being relentless in his fury. When he gets mad he unleashes all of his power. If his brother Hades wasn’t in charge of the Underworld, he’d make all of Hell break loose. For example, in Hesiod’s Theogony, which is about when Zeus defeated his father, Cronus, he says, “Then Zeus did not hold back any longer, but now immediately his heart was filled with strength and he showed clearly all his force.” (Morford and Lenardon 85) He tends to treat others, mortals and immortals, very unfairly. Two mortals could do the same exact type of sacrilege towards him, and depending on how he felt that day, he would take two very different approaches to how he would treat them. He also doesn’t take any threats towards him very lightly at all. If anyone ever threatens him, he normally punishes them very severely, if he doesn’t destroy them completely. Hesiod’s approach to Zeus’ behavior is overdramatic, and makes it seem more extreme than it probably would’ve been.

Hera was a goddess that was envied but also very cruel. She was very beautiful and powerful, but looks and power aren't everything. Hera would seek revenge after the

In this chapter, the researchers intend to move closer in understanding objectification of women using the Objectification Theory and Erotic Capital Theory. Through these theories and the methods to be used, the researchers aim to describe how women are presented in the videos of R-Breezy, analyze how women are portrayed in the R-Breezy’s Facebook page in the contexts of objectification and sexualization, determine why the women featured in the videos of R-Breezy allow such objectification and sexualization, and analyze the implications of women’s objectification on the perpetuation of women as sex objects.
