Greek mythology is chiefly dominated by males, as were most literary works during and after their time. However, mother figures have a notably significant role in Greek mythology. Mothers in Greek mythology are usually depicted as women who would do anything for their children. In the story of “Gaea and her Children” and “Rhea and Cronus,” Both Gaea and Rhea gave their children the tools they needed to murder their fathers after the evil acts they committed. Demeter is willing to let the earth, and

“The Importance of Greek Mythology” History Between the Titans and the Gods The Titans ruled the world before Olympians, while they lived on Mount Othrys. The first generation of Titans were children of Gaea and Uranus who originally gave birth to Twelve Titans, Coeus, Kronos, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, Oceanus, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Rhea, Theia, Themis and Tethys. They arose to power when Kronos along with his mother and siblings defeated his father Uranus and took the ruler ship from him

Artemis was the Greek goddess of childbirth, chastity, virginity, hunting, and wild animals. Artemis held so much power, she was capable of killing, plaguing, transforming people, or even healing, which arguably makes her one of the most powerful Greek Goddess’s. Artemis’s birth is associated with some conflict, as some accounts affiliate her to be siblings to Athena, Ares, and Demeter.

Originating from different sides of an ancient and bloody war, Prometheus and Zeus start from different ends of a spectrum. As a young god, Zeus is thereby a young ruler. His inexperience in ruling is obvious. Zeus had established his reign by violently overthrowing his father in a bloody war and spread his rule through subjugation. By imprisoning Cronus and the Titans in Tartarus and appointing his relatives and children in positions under him, Zeus forcefully raised himself into the position of

Modes of Power for Women The struggle for control over birth transcends centuries and continents. Gloria Steinem, a women’s rights advocate of the 1990s describes how “the traditional design of most patriarchal buildings of worship imitates the female body” in order that “men [can] take over the yoni-power of creation by giving birth symbolically” (Steinem XV). The struggle for control over the power of procreation between the sexes existed in Ancient Greece. It is apparent in the Theogony

Often times in ancient works, women do what they must to reach their goals. In the Odyssey and the Theogony, women use deceit to achieve their goals, with the difference being that in times of trouble Penelope is able to create and enact multiple plans on her own while Rhea must ask for help. While Homer gives some agency to his female characters, Hesiod does not. Penelope is able to deceive those around her into doing as she wants without the help of others; she has the agency to rise above the

Sierra Martinez ENH251 Roxanne Timmerman 21 July 2017 The Greek God, Zeus I chose to write about Zeus for my independent project. By the time my paper is written and finished, I can only hope to have discovered more and more information about him than at the beginning of this essay. Some things I do want to remember and learn about him are what made him so great, is he the Greek God’s leader, and what did he accomplish? When somebody speaks about Greek mythology, it seems as though

Gaia is characterised as a feminine divinity, she has the ability to give birth and is the mother of Ouranos’ children. As she is Earth, all life origins from her and Gaia could, therefore, be seen as a source of creation. As the source of creation, she is the opposite of violence and destruction. When Ouranos imprisons his children, it is Gaia who comes up with the plan to repay him for his wicked crimes, but she is not the one who carries out the plan. That Gaia is the one to come up with the plan
