    I chose “The Iliad” by Homer and related it to “Medea” with the theme and subject matter of a hero’s temper and how the hero stops being tragic once they do something to avenge. I specifically chose Achilles from “The Iliad” because I was able to connect his actions, when Patroclus died, to Medea’s, when her husband betrayed her. These two situations are completely different, however, both characters felt deeply betrayed and whatever pity the authors intended for the audience to have dimmed down

    Chapter Two Arkansas. Bennett Cromwell had never liked the South. The summer humidity disagreed with him, and there was something about Southern hospitality that he didn't care for.

    We catch tiny cutthroat and rainbow trout but they're a lot of work for the meat they provide. We won't be eating like the kings I'd imagined.

And because of this, pride was his

    The biggest and most indicative social activity in ancient Roman society was that of gladiatorial combat, and all of the additional components that went along with it. Roman’s of all ages, backgrounds, and social classes spent an exorbitant amount of time observing and enjoying this brutal pastime. For many, especially historians that hold Rome in high regard, it’s hard to believe that these games were such a critical and pervasive component of Roman social life. “To historians the games are scandalous

    Is doomed love a popular subject? It sure seems like it. Between The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet and Pyramus and Thisbe fated demise seems to strike the attention of many authors.

On page fifteen it showed the emotion in which Gilgamesh was feeling, “He began to rage like a lion, like a lioness robbed of her whelps. This way and that he paced round the bed, he tore out his hair and strewed it around. He dragged of his splendid robes and flung them down as though
