Of the many Greek heroes, Jason is the most heroic due to the fact that although he is abandoned at a very young age, he is still able to survive, also he proves to Hera the goddess who hated heroes that he is worthy to be favoured by her, and he completes the impossible quest of the Golden Fleece.

Reflective statement QUESTION: How was your understanding of Cultural and contextual considerations of the work developed through the interactive oral? In our interactive oral we discussed the cultural and contextual considerations of Euripides’(c. 480 – 406 BC) play Medea. We discussed Greek theatre and influential playwrights like Sophocles, Thespis and Aeschylus. Thespis added multiple actors to the originally single person chorus.

She was battling over the two emotions way out of her control which is exactly how fate makes everyone act. Euripides is an innovator that is how he was capable of grabbing the audience’s

Medea punishes him, because she feels that he wronged her, even though her gruesome plans were much more sophisticated and horrid than Jason’s acts against Medea. Some may argue that Medea would be considered the victim of Jason’s wrath and terrible acts against her. They may believe that she was always innocent, and that everything bad that happened,

Annabeth’s whole journey centers around falling into Tartarus. The Titan and Earth Mother Gaea would be rising in just 11 days. If the Earth Mother rose before Annabeth got to the Doors of Death then monsters would be reborn into the mortal world for an eternity. Before Annabeth fell into the pit she promised her friends that she would close the Doors on the Tartarus side while her friends found the Doors in the House of Hades to prevent Gaea’s awakening. Annabeth had only known about Tartarus through
