In "Hymn to Intellectual Beauty", Shelley describes his realisation of the power of human intellect. In seven carefully-constructed stanzas, he outlines the qualities of this power and the e ect it has had on him, using the essential themes of Romantic poetry with references to nature and the self. In the first stanza, the concept of the "unseen Power" – the mind – is put forward, and Shelley states his position on the subject. Throughout the stanza, extensive

In the song “The Battle Hymn of The Republic” by Julia Ward Howe, is a bit longer than expected, it has a great beat, words, and musical instrumentation throughout the whole song. Being drawn to this piece of music by its title and having had family fight for our freedom, I chose to learn more about this song. The introduction is an announcement of the “eyes” of the soldiers seeing enough of war. With the wording of “God’s truth is marching on” and the war coming to an end, shows soldiers singing

Battle Hymn of the Republic A1: When I listened to the song in its entirety, rather than what we were instructed to sing in church, I heard many lyrics and music that I had not heard before. The song reminds me of growing up in church. We would sing this song often. However, it was the lyrics were always only accompanied by the piano and maybe the organ. I appreciated the song much more with all the instrumental pieces in the background. This is a song that I believe will always make you feel patriotic

Julia Ward Howe: Leader, Social Activist, and Her Success as a Woman in the Late 1800s The post Civil War-era was an extremely pivotal point in the way women in the United States were treated. African-American women were slaves, and most were treated as such by their fathers, brothers, and ultimately their husbands. No women had the right to vote, the right to an education, or the right to serve in the military; all of which are inherent rights women are born with present day. Women were expected

In Ovid Metamorphoses, the Roman literature described the ruthless act of Pluto of rape, to seize and carry away Proserpine without the consent of Ceres and in parallel in the Homeric Hymns of Demeter; Persephone was seized and carried away by Hades without the consent of Demeter. The invariant theme that was identified in both the Greek and Roman literature was the loss of innocence of Persephone/Proserpine. Despite the various differences the story was presented, it reinforced the innocence that

compare two theories of myth – Max Müller’s natural allegory and Carl Jung’s Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious (Dowden, 1992, pp. 17-23) – and their effectiveness in analyzing Demeter’s response to the Rape of Persephone, from the Homeric Hymns (Homeric Hymns pp.169-177, translated in Trzaskoma et al., 2004). Demeter’s myth can be divided into two parts: one that describes her days in the House of Celeos and one that describes earth’s long sustained famine due to Demeter’s sorrow until her daughter’s

pre-Homeric Eastern deities including the Mesopotamian Ishtar and Astarte, Avestan Mithras, and the Vedic goddess Uṣas. In Homeric epic, although Aphrodite is a singular goddess, she appears to be an amalgam of beings syncretised into one. The Homeric Aphrodite combines together a multitude of motives traditional to other goddesses in other cultural traditions into one being: just Aphrodite. With so much character, tradition, and power behind her, I argue that the intention of the Homeric tradition

Both Homeric hymns to Apollo and Aphrodite feature classic mythology that explains various situations between the god and goddess and the mortals. In particular how each god and goddess elude mortals into behavior that both favors each party and has negative consequences. Apollo and Aphrodite have similarities and differences in which they manipulate the humans in the stories that lead to very different outcomes. A similarity between the manipulation on Apollo’s and Aphrodite’s part is that they
