Oresteia: Suffering Into the Truth Oresteia is a script whose story goes on by recalling Orestes’ lost memories. The main idea which is prevalent throughout this story is about finding the truth hidden in the acts of revenge, lies, and fates which are intricately intertwined. However, as the truth does not always give us hope and pleasant, in this story, the characters are suffered by the truth and the way to find it.

Relationship between Paris and Helen and the Relationship between Hector and Andromache The relationship between Paris and Helen differs greatly from the relationship between Hector and Andromache. These differences are most evident in books three and six. A major difference between the two relationships is whether or not an outside force is pushing the relationship. In book three lines 486 to 489, Aphrodite forces Helen to go back to the bedroom with Paris. Initially, Helen does not want to go stating

I have chosen the constellation Cygnus. I chose this constellation because I really like swans and when it comes to seeing the image of the constellation I find it easier to see the swan in Cygnus than say the dolphin in Delphinus or the unicorn in Monoceros. Cygnus's brightest star is Deneb* which is the tail of the swan. We can see Deneb from earth despite the distance (1500 light years) because it is a white supergiant meaning it is larger and hotter than our sun. Between the two stars that

Aphrodite who offered him the most beautiful woman in the world who was Helen. At the time, he was living with the nymph Oenone but he became infatuated with Helen. His decision to give the apple to Aphrodite (a choice made out of love) started a chain of events that would eventually lead to the Trojan War. However, this was not the main cause of the war. The main cause of the war occurred soon after. Paris traveled to Sparta for Helen.

The representation of Helen in Homer’s work and with how she is depicted in Euripides Women of Troy enables the reader to understand different perspectives of Helen’s personality seen throughout both texts. Furthermore, these comparative methods in both texts will raise questions and awareness to the depiction of Helen.

To the outside, modern day, western observer, the role of women in Agamemnon makes a pretty clear mark as to how the Ancient Greeks viewed women. Notably, that they seem to hate them. Of the five women who are mentioned at all in the story, only one is portrayed positively, and even she is murdered and then only praised and remembered for her beautiful virginity, and her voice. Repeatedly throughout the play the women are demonized for things that are not necessarily their fault, and often times

Troy, which attempts to make an adaptation that reflects the Greek culture and appeals to the modern audience at the same time. In this essay Troy will be compared with the Iliad through examination of time spans, intended audiences, portrayals of Helen, Achilles and Hector, main themes of both sources and conveyed messages. One significant difference between the Iliad and Troy is the timespan. The Iliad is not a story of a Trojan war, but a story of a hero’s wrath. The time span it covers is only

talk about the debate between Hecuba and Helen. They both debate in front of Menelaus. Helen tries to prove her innocence whereas, Hecuba tries to prove her wrong. Helen carefully argues as a sophist. She tries her best to win the argument. On the other hand, Hecuba tries that Menelaus doesn’t take Helen back to Greece in the same ship as his. Therefore, Helen defends her innocence by lying which is why Hecuba argues that Helen is a liar. To begin with Helen is a queen of beauty. She can set magic

patriarchal society, it was as if Euripides made a point to have men stop viewing women under a passive light and give more thought on how women’s thoughts. Because Euripides partial understanding of women, he redefines beauty in his female character Helen, and has her viewed as a beautiful woman with good intentions instead of a “bad” woman. The beauty of a woman has an impact on men. In
