What Is Ara Myth

Every culture known to history and anthropology has seen in the heavens distinctive patterns, called constellations, and formed by the stars.Constellations are usually comprised of bright stars that appear close to each other. There are 88 'official' constellations have known and my favorite one is Phoenix because it was named after the mythical bird that rises from its own ashes so this story makes this constellation interesting . Phoenix constellation lies in the southern sky and It is a relatively small constellation, but it is the largest among the 12 constellations created. The constellations Phoenix, Grus, Pavo and Tucana, are known as the Southern Birds.

Hey there! Taking bold actions are risky. Some people might think risks are worth the rewards but i really don't think they are. The 2 myths Arachne and flight of Icarus are examples showing why risks are not worth the rewards.

In Greco-Roman Culture, humans imagine the deities of mythology to be and act certain ways, due to the needs they must fill. People invented certain deities for reasons that align with what they needed from them. To examine how a deity has a certain purpose, one must first examine what they are like. Athena and Ares are examples of deities invented for very specific purposes. One must first look at Athena and Ares’ similarities and differences in relation to their characteristics, their sexuality and physical appearances, as well as their different powers and how they are worshipped, to discover why they were created.

The constellation was named after Princess Andromeda, also known as "The Chained Woman" - wich is, too, the nickname of the own constellation -. Andromeda was known for her beauty, and her mom one day claimed that she was even more beautiful then the Nereids, a particularly alluring group of sea nymphs. The Nereids were outraged by the affirmation and decided to ask Poseidon, the God of The Seas to give her a lesson. Poseidon then send a monster to destroy Andomedra's father's territory, and Andomedra decided to sacrifice herself to pay for the sins of her mother, and then was given chained to Poseidon to die. The story goes on, and it ends with Perseus - the son of Poseidon - saving her, but that's the bit that named the constellation.

The handsome giant Orion was a companion of the goddess but her jealous brother Apollon tricked her into killing him with a distant bow-shot. In her grief Artemis placed him amongst the stars as the constellation Orion.<>

In the Iliad, a book wrote by Homer, Athena represented “the intellectual and civilized side of war and the virtues of justice and skill.”(“Athena”, Britannica) She was represented by a golden shield and helmont, a spear, a spindle and the number 7. The olive tree also represents her and her wisdom because she gave it as a gift to a city.(“Goddess symbols:Athena”, Goddess Gifts)Athena’s male counterpart(Greek Gods, “Athena”) Ares lived on Mount olympus as the god of war and representing Mars. He was seen as a warrior in art. Ares represented the bloody and gruesome parts in battle. ( “Ares” Britannica) His symbols are the spear, helmet, chariot, boar, vulture, species of owls and the flaming torch. He is represented by the color red because red is the color of war and Mars. ( “Ares” Greek Gods and

So for this assignment i have chosen my favorite constellation the Pegasus. I find this myth quite fascinating and wondrous.

Though Zeus condemned Atlas to hold the heavens apart from the earth, Atlas was able to “become the god who turns the heavens on their axis, causing the stars to revolve.” (“ATLAS”) His close relations with the heavens made people believe that he had “superior knowledge of the stars and constellations.” (Roman 93) This belief was furthered when Atlas’s children died and became constellations. His son, Hyas, “was killed by a lion and became the constellation Aquarius, and the lion became the constellation Leo…His grieving sisters were transformed into the Pleiades constellation.” (Roman 92) Even more, Atlas himself is represented as the constellation Kneeler. (“ATLAS”) Thus, it is no surprise that Atlas, “the father of many constellations,” is also seen as the father of astronomy.

Apollo decided to intervene, and he sent a giant scorpion to kill Orion. Even though he was a very skilled huntsman, he was unable to defeat the scorpion, and he died. When Artemis found out, she was heart-broken, and in order to maintain his memory and legacy, she placed him among the stars in a constellation.

In the midst of early church controversy over the Marian title “Theotokos” and the person of Christ, Greece experienced a growing Marian devotion. The Akathist hymn, attributed to Romanos the Melodist, survived during this period as a method of praising Christ through the gift of His mother, Mary. Glorifying Mary through various titles and biblical images, the Akathist hymn enhances not only the identity of Theotokos, but also calls one to contemplate the entire mystery of God, thus drawing the participant into the Love of the Trinity and the centrality of Christ.

To illustrate Orion was given as an infant to a poor shepherd, Irieus, who had shown hospitality to Zeus and Poseidon without knowing they were gods. Orion grew into a great hunter. He eventually fell in love with Artemis, the moon goddess.” This example shows that Greek mythology has influenced our culture through astronomy because thousands of years ago we would taking a look at the sky and by seeing where and what the constellations looked like, that helped us travel and know where we were. In fact “ The constellations that we see in the sky provide a set of human patterns that we can use to recognize the various stars. Because the stars appear to move very slowly, unchanging over human lifetimes, the patterns have lasting value as an aid to human memories.” This example shows that Greek mythology has influenced our culture through astronomy because people found a use the constellations as a calendar to know what year and month it was if they were traveling. Additionally, some of the many constellations Greek mythology has influenced our culture through

This constellation has qute a rich mythology in a few cultures. For example, the Babylonian mythology tells us, that Sagittarius had been identified as the god Nergal. Nergal is a centaur-like creature firing an arrow from a bow. He's usually portrayed with a pair of wings and two heads - one of a human and one of a panther. He also typically has a scorpio's sting at the end of the horse tail. In Greek mythology, Sagittarius is portrayed as a centaur, a hlaf-human and a half-horse. However, the Greek adopted some features from the Sumerian mythology, which caused some confusions when speaking about the identity of the archer. One group of people says, that the

Ursa Major is the one constellation I have often thought of since my childhood. I just remember, in elementary school, going on a field trip to the planetarium for my science class. The whole day was fascinating but the part that really blew me away was being shown all of the stars of the sky. When shown the sky bear, it some how lodged itself in my memory for years to come, it's so beautiful. Now, when the stars come out at night, it's one of the first things I look for. Ursa Major is made up of some of the brightest stars in the universe (seven of which make up the big dipper) so it truly makes itself know to all of the world.

My favourite constellation is Apus. Apus is also known as 'The Bird of Paradise'. It is called this as the Greek, who named the costellation, knew the bird of paradise to have no feet. By looking up at Apus, you can see the body figure but no feet. Apus also translates into 'no feet' in Greek. I chose this constellation because I am intrigued at why the bird of paradise, so to speak, has no legs and why this is so great. Apus intrigues my sense of curiosity as to it's origin and why it is called what it is.
