This category is for best archetypal theme. Our winner by 5% of the vote is Athena!! There are many different themes for stories such as Appearance vs Reality. Themes help the reader understand the story and make it entertaining to read. Athena can represent the theme Good vs Evil. She represents good by helping others and going out of her way to make life easier for those around her. Athena also goes against other Gods just to help humans. For example when Poseidon turned a river into salt water which was not helpful for people, Athena turns it into an olive tree so people can have food resources. Evil is represented by the characters in the story that only think of the benefits for themselves like Poseidon did.
Our next award goes to best archetypal situation. It was close but the winner is Demeter and Persephone!! In stories there are many different situations that take place such as Death and re-birth. These situations help make the story interesting to the reader. Demeter and Persephone is an excellent example of ‘the quest’. It best represents ‘the quest’ because after Zeus handed his daughter over to Hades to be married Demeter grew depressed and would not come out of her temple or grow any fruit on earth. However after Persephone was found and brought back fertility was restored to the land. That is similar to the description of ‘the quest’ where there is a search for someone and once they are found it brings fertility to a wasted land.
