Lyre

accomplished all arts but specifically in poetry and music. Whenever Orpheus would play his lyre, a stringed instrument similar to a harp, everything and anything would stop just to hear him play. Even though music was important to Orpheus, and he knew he was good at it, it wasn’t enough. He knew something was missing and he knew just what it was. Orpheus later fell for a wood

argue that Sappho’s lyre, at least historically, acts as a metaphor for broken body when the lyre breaks following Sappho’s suicidal plunge, Robinson’s writing suggests otherwise. The lyre is does not represent her body, but her voice, immortalised through poetry. In Sonnet XXV, it is the voice of Sappho that creates “melting ev’ery thought to fond desire” (XXV:3). The rhyme between “Lyre” and “desire” in the Italian sonnet form emphasises this connection between the voice of the lyre, and Phaon’s desire

to Apollo’s lyre. The Nine Muses were named Calliope, Clio, Melpomene, Euterpe, Erato, Terpsichore, Urania, Thalia, and Polymnia. Although there were nine, they were considered one mind. Each of the Muses represented a form of art. To some, Apollo, god of music, was seen as their leader.

In greek mythology there is a total of twelve Olympian Gods. Apollo (god of sun) was one of these 12 olympian gods. Apollo was the son of Leto and Zeus and a twin brother to Artemis. In Apollo's story we learn that Zeus was a mischievous guy. While he had his wife whose name was Hera he had a side women who was Leto. Leto and Zeus messed around for a bit and Leto came out to be pregnant. When Hera, the wife of Zeus, found out that Leto was pregnant she was infuriated and she immediately

Counterargument 1: The soul does not live on after bodily death. Simmias equates the soul to a harmony and the body to a lyre. A harmony is invisible, without form, and comparable to the divine. On the other hand, a lyre is physical, structured, and composite. If a lyre's strings were to be broken a harmony would cease to exist. And if the body is like a lyre and the soul is like a harmony, then the soul must die before the body. Counterargument 2: In the eyes of Cebes, the soul is like a man and

Out of the wind instruments, the most popular were the aulos (flute) and the lyre. The most popular stringed instruments were the oboe and clarinet. The lyre produced a low, deep sound and was played by men of noble birth to accompany

tortoise, and make the first lyre from its shell. To finish the lyre Hermes needed string so he stole a herd of Apollo’s cows by making them walk backwards so that it’d confuse Apollo since the tracks would lead him in the wrong direction and he killed them for the strings for the lyre which he made from their guts. After being caught by Apollo he was brought before their father, Zeus. Instead of Zeus being angry at his infant son he was amused, and when Hermes produced the lyre and played it, even Apollo

But, little do they know that he is the one protecting their homes from being robbed, he is stopping criminals and he is keeping their city safe from danger. Nero has extraordinary powers that he received when struck by lightning while playing his lyre. He received these powers during the sixth year of his reign and that is when everything went downhill. He couldn't control the powers and that led him to do crazy things such as killing his own mother and executing innocent Romans. This gave Nero
