The Greeks are better than the Egyptians because their gods are more realistic, not having eagle heads on the bodies of humans and so on. Zeus changes over time, becoming obnoxious, cowardly, and even takes the form of humans. Three purposes for myths are for entertainment, telling old science, and literature. Cronus (Saturn) is the most

If a citizen lived near the coast, they would enjoy fish and small roasted fowls. They also enjoyed cow or goat milk which would be drank fresh or turned into yogurt (also a drink), coupled with wine "since fermentation was the best way to preserve grape juice". As with many other civilizations and cities during this time frame, the average person had

Independent Cultural experience. The independent cultural experience that I chose to participate in was going to dine at the Taj Palace, in Yakima, Washington. This place is very authentic. When you walk in the restaurant, it felt very traditional because they had Indian music playing, and it was well decorated. I felt very interested in doing this experience because I have an Uncle related by marriage who is from India, and I do not know very much about this culture. Although I don’t know very

Kendal’s party was going to be at the Roller Palace, which was exciting to me because I loved to go skating there. They had the best music and the coolest looking carpet. Before I left, I made sure to put on my cow toe-socks because we had planned on matching, like normal ten year olds do. Sadly, I was the only one who wore the socks.

The West prior to and after the Civil War was largely unpopulated by the white man, the Indians, as a result, dominated the landscape mostly undisturbed. However, this separation came to a halt as legion of white pioneers invaded the great plains, displacing the Indians and “civilizing” the West.

I will be doing my source analysis paper on the prologue of the Prose Edda. I’ve read this text previously in one of my humanities classes, which is why I chose this text to do my source analysis paper on.

Introduction This paper will offer a commentary on Herodotus’ Histories 2.129-135.
