...8/2/2016 Twelve Olympians Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Twelve Olympians From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the ancient Greek religion and Greek mythology, the Twelve Olympians are the major deities of the Greek pantheon, commonly considered to be Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hermes, and either Hestia or Dionysus.[1] Hades and Persephone were sometimes included as part of the twelve Olympians (primarily due to the influence of the Eleusinian Mysteries), although in general Hades was excluded, because he resided permanently in the underworld and never visited Olympus. Contents 1 Concept 2 Membership 3 List 3.1 The major Olympians 3.2 Other Olympians 3.3 Minor residents of Mount Olympus 4 Genealogy 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References Concept The Twelve Olympians, also known as the Dodekatheon (Greek: Δωδεκάθεον from δώδεκα,[3][4] dōdeka, "twelve" and θεοί, theoi, "gods"), were the principal deities of the Greek pantheon, said to reside atop Mount Olympus. The Olympians gained their supremacy in a war of gods in which Zeus led his siblings to victory over the Titans. Fragment of a Hellenistic relief (1st century BC – 1st century AD) The concept of the "Twelve Gods" is older than depicting the Twelve Olympians carrying their attributes in any extant Greek or Roman sources.[5] The procession; from left to right, Hestia (scepter), Hermes (winged cap gods meet in council in the Homeric epics...

...Brei’Anna Barber Classical Mythology Essay 1 . There are many similarities between reality and the world of mythology. Whether it is through emotions, actions, or the overall message of the myth, reality can be intersected with mythology. Our culture and customs can be compared and contrasted in almost every myth. This proves true when examining the myth of Aphrodite and Adonis. Its “love lost” theme intertwines with how humans view the subject of love. Another example would be through the myth of Hephaestus, Aphrodite, and Ares. This myth can be relatable with human life because of how the underdog (Hephaestus) ultimately comes out on top. Mythology intersects with reality when the subject of loyalty between friends arises. “Tormented by her sense of shame and guilt, the poor girl was on the point of suicide, but she was rescued just in time by her faithful nurse, who eventually wrenched the secret from her. Although the old woman was horrified by what she learned, she preferred to help satisfy the girl’s passion rather than to see her die.” (Morford, pg. 185) In reality, it is not uncommon to see friends go to drastic lengths for each other. Most of us do not like to see our friends hurt, and we would do anything to make them happy again. This is no different when analyzing this section of the myth. Aphrodite’s nurse admitted that her helping Aphrodite engage in sexual activities with her father was horrible; however she proceeded to do so anyway. Often we say we would...

...The Flight of Icarus and Daedalus The myth of the adventure of Daedalus and his son Icarus is often told and holds a lesson many parents try to instill in their children. According to Edith Hamilton, author of Mythology, it shows that “what elders say youth disregards” (193). Many people have heard about the myth of the Labyrinth, which held the Minotaur, but what most don’t know is that it was built by Daedalus, who was, according to the Encyclopædia Britannica, a great “inventor, architect, and sculptor” (“Daedalus”). Clearly, Daedalus was quite talented. Karen Carr, author of the article “Daedalus and Icarus”, says that Daedalus invented many things, but the great Labyrinth was his greatest achievement. After he built it, King Minos,...

...pieces. With this in mind, there is one suite that Holst created that has long been recognized by its 1st movement, Mars, The Bringer of War. This suite, of course, is known as The Planets. It was the most famous suite written in its time and is still used today because of its enticing, dark, and pure melodies. Holst has forever changed the way music is viewed through his music and The Planets, which still stands tall as a pinnacle of musical genius. Holst’s Life Early Years Gustav Holst was born on the 21st of September 1874 in Cheltenham, England. Holst’s father, Adolph Holst, was quite the musician as well. He was a talented piano player who would spend hours playing the piano at home. His mother, Clara, was an actress and took piano lessons from Adolph. After that, they were married and had Gustav. When Holst was eight, Clara and her baby died during childbirth. Gustav was often quite miserable as a child since that time. According to Ian Lace, “Gustav was an oversensitive and somewhat miserable child. His eyes were weak, but no one realized that he had to wear spectacles. His chest was also weak, and again no one bothered much with his asthma” (Lace, 2007). Adolph married another one of his piano students, Mary Thorley Stone, around 1885. During this time, Adolph made Gustav practice piano to become as great a player as he was. This posed as a bit of a problem for Gustav. At a young age, Gustav started to develop neuritis in both of his hands. This is a condition that affects...

...MULAN Overview In mythology, the journey of a hero is an ancient and universal theme. In every culture from ancient Greece to China, Southeast Asia, and the Americas, heroes have embarked on life-altering journeys (Kurtti 1998: 11). Stuart Voytilla states that there are twelve stages to a hero’s journey and no matter what the purpose is for their journey, in the end the heroes or in this case heroine, share the same destination. It does not matter if the hero gains a kingdom or returns home with the elixir, as mythologist Alexander Eliot puts it, “he actually earns self-integration, balance, wisdom, and spiritual health” (Kurtti 1998: 11). One of the most renowned and beloved of these “wandering heroes” says Kurtti, is a young woman named Mulan. It is a story that is well known in China and has been told from generation to generation. “Mulan” is a Disney animated film based on an ancient Chinese folktale about a brave young woman who is faced with the terrible dilemmas of war during ancient China. She is not like any of the other Disney heroines, such as Cinderella or Ariel from the “Little Mermaid”. You do not see her daydreaming or looking for her “Prince Charming” in the film. All she wanted to do was to please and honor her family. But every time she tried, it seemed as though she was destined to fail. She also had one simple motivation and that was to save her father from having to serve in the Imperial Army. So when the emperor sent his orders to the...

...He took a deep breathe and began to tell King School his almighty plan in a booming voice. “Hello King School, I know you are all startled but do not fear me. I am simply here to discuss a problem. I have noticed that not all of you are working as hard as you should and aren’t getting educated, so I have a plan to make sure that all of you are properly educated. There is a catch to this, though, as in order to do that I am going to bring the hardest test ever created to this school and if 74% of you or lower pass, then I will have to destroy this place. But keep in mind that if 75% or higher of you pass, you are all free. I will give all of you two days to prepare before I arrive again. I wish you good luck,” explained Zeus. Everyone was terrified as to them Zeus was a ball of light instead of god to them. But then Zeus decided it was time to go and began to leave before a shout was heard from the school. Zeus looked...

...Freedom Writers: A Message of Hope According to Joseph Campbell, a scholar of mythology states that, a hero is one who hero gives his or her life to something bigger than him or herself, to some higher end not to mention also the hero undergoes trials and tests to see if he or she has the courage, the knowledge and the capacity to survive. To explain what this means I will use the protagonist Erin Gruwell (starring Hilary Swank), in the 2007 drama film, Freedom Writers, directed and written by Richard LaGravenese, It is based on the book The Freedom Writers Diary by Erin Gruwell (teacher by profession) who wrote the story based on Woodrow Wilson Classical High School in Long Beach, California. She started her teaching career as would any teacher; by doing a lesson plan. However her mistake was not taking the time to fully understand the type of students in her class room. Most of her students think the new teacher is “odd” because she does not believe what everyone else seems to know about these classes; they can read and they can write, and Ms. Gruwell expects them to do both. Everyone else seems to think they are stupid and beyond hope. They think this new teacher is “too young and too white to be working here,” and most of the kids in class predict she will leave after a day; one student gives her a month. The class is out of control, and there are more students than desks. The entire school is divided into groups ranging from “Beverly Hills” and “Da Ghetto” to “China Town”...

...Introduction The idea of mentoring is rooted deeply in Greek mythology (Homer, 1980). The term “mentor” originally comes from Homer's epic poem The Odyssey. As a good friend, Mentor was asked by Odysseus to watch over his palace and his son when he left to fight in the Trojan War. In this position of responsibility, Mentor coached and counseled Telemachus, Odysseus' son, guiding him in his development from infancy to early-adulthood. A significant number of organizations, such as commercial ones, are adopting mentoring programs as a vital part of their professional development plans. Mentoring is an effective tool to foster professional development to both the mentor and mentee. The practice of mentoring beginning teachers emerged in the 1980s as a professional development strategy for achieving a variety of goals. Teacher mentoring programs are now perceived as an effective staff development approach for beginning teachers. Cooper and Miller (1998) state that the benefits of mentoring include :faster, more effective integration of new teachers, retention of quality professionals, increased transfer of skills from one generation to another; gains in productivity and performance; increased learning from professional development activities; enhanced communication, commitment, and motivation; and a stabilizing factor in times of change. Zimbabwe introduced the attachment model for the first time in 1995. Shumbayawonda (2001) says “In 1995 Zimbabwe introduced the attachment model...
