...Which hero is truly a hero to mankind Zeus, or Perseus? Zeus is the most powerful deity, god in ancient Greece. Zeus's role was that he was the god of social order, and law. They say Greek mythology Perseus is the son of Zeus. Perseus was a demigod and Zeus was a deity god. Perseus was the heroic slayer of the Gorgon Medusa, the mythical creature who turns people into stone. The mother of Perseus was Danae the daughter of King Acrisius of Argos. Zeus was also known as the king of the gods, protector of justice and social order. Although, Zeus and Perseus are outstanding, brave, and strong heroes in Greek mythology, to human Perseus showed more heroic deeds than Zeus. First, how is Zeus and Perseus lives differ from each other. Zeus was the most powerful god in Greek mythology, he was a deity god. Perseus was known as the slayer of Medusa and he was a demigod. Zeus was the supreme ruler, he was “The Lord of the Sky” (Hamilton 24). An oracle predicted that Danae the mother of Perseus would bear a child who would one day kill his grandfather who is the most powerful god Zeus. Zeus's most powerful skill is to the bolts out of lighting. He could also have the authority to take control over the weather causing huge storms and rain to the human world. That’s how Zeus and Perseus lives differ. (Zeus. Myths and...

...My research paper is about the Greek Titan Kronos also known in Greek as Cronus or Saturn in Latin. According to pop culture, he is depicted as a monster who was the father of the Olympians. He was also the king of the Titans, who were overthrown by their own children the Olympians in Greek mythology. Today when we read the Greek myths about him, all we really know about him is his ending. We barely know how his life started and what he was like in the middle of his life. The purpose of this paper is to describe the rise and collapse of Kronos, the god of time and King of Titans. The Titans’ timeline was rather brief in comparison to the Olympians in Greek mythology. However, they have a very strong story about their creation. In the...

...Cosmic Creation Myths Across Cultures Jessica Farrah Hum/105 Janurary-18-2016 Paul Nersesian Mythology. When you think of what that means to you it may be mainstream as in Hercules, Troy, and many other movies and stories that have been inspired by the gods and religion. Yet there is a much deeper story behind what we know. Tracing back for centuries in forms of different religions and countries upon their own belief. In this paper I will discuss the Greek Theogoina and the Sumarian creation myth of Ulligara and Zalgarra. In Greece, circa 700 BC, Hesiod lived and wrote a poem called the Theogonia, which means “the birth of the gods.” Today, we call it the Theogony, and it is more spiritual than Greek and Latin poetry about myths that followed the Theogony. Hesiod is closer to a time when there was less distinction between the world of myth and that of daily life. (63. Leonard, McClure) The Earth, in the Theogony, is represented by Gaia. The Sky is represented by Ouranos. Tartarus is an early stage in the development of the Underworld. Chaos, or a “yawning void” came into being, and then Gaia, also known as the mother of the Earth in some cultures, followed by Tartaros and Eros. Chaos, Gaia, Ouranos, and Tartaros are the creators of all things in the Theogony. Things kind of generated spontaneously and eventually Gaia and Ouranos, who are also considered brother and sister, produced twelve Titans; six male and six female. They also gave life to the Cyclopes...

...Ahriz for his guidance throughout the writing of this report. I would like to thank Richboy and Ete Akumagba for their guidance and for proof reading this report. I would like to thank my family for their support and love. ii Abstract This era of explosive usage of networks have seen the rise of several opportunities and possibilities in the IT sector. Unfortunately, cybercrime is also on the rise with several forms of attack including, but not limited to botnet attacks. A Botnet can simply be seen as a network of compromised set of systems that can be controlled by an attacker. These systems are able to take malicious actions as needed by the attacker without the consent of the device owner and can cause havoc. This paper is the first part of a two-part report and discusses on several reportedly known botnets and describes how they work and their mode of infection. Several historic attacks and the reported damage have been given to give a good picture and raise the bar on the capabilities of botnets. Several existing tools have been considered and examined which are useful for detecting and terminating botnets. You would find that each tool has its own detection strategy, which may have an advantage on some end than others. iii Table of Contents Declaration ........................................................................................................................................... i Acknowledgements ..............................

...Ancient Olympics Essay, Research Paper Since 1896, the year the Olympics were resurrected from ancient history, the Olympics have been a symbol of the camaraderie and harmony possible on a global scale. The gathering of athletic representatives, the pride of the pack, from participating governments, even throughout the recent Cold War period, is proof that world unity is possible; just as it was in Ancient Greece with the polis or city-states. Olympic Games were held throughout Ancient Greece, but the most famous are the games that were held in Olympia in honor of Zeus every four years from August 6th to September 19th. The first record of these games is of one Coroebus of Elis, a cook, winning a sprint race in 776 BC. Most historians believe the games to have been going on for approximately 500 years before this. In the year Coroebus was made a part of history, there was apparently only one simple event, a race called the stade. The track was said to be one stade long or roughly 210 yards. In subsequent games, additional events were to be added, most likely to increase the challenge to these amazing athletes. In 724 BC, the diaulos, a two stade race, was added, followed by a long distance race, about 2 1/4 miles and called the dolichos, at the next games four years later. Wrestling and the famous Pentathlon were introduced in 708 BC. The Pentathlon consisted of five events; the long jump, javelin throw, discus...

...Identity Thief an Old Problem in a Modern Era Your name KNOCK, KNOCK!!! …Who there? It Is I...I who? This is the question everyone must pose nowadays, for we don’t know who actual is behind that door. It could be your friend, family member or you banker but worst yet it can some devious individual posing to be someone you know or impersonating someone else to gain your trust in order to steal from you by stealing your identity. Identity thief has become a common practice in this Age of High Tech. One such area is the internet which has made transmission of our personally identifying information quick and easy, and sometimes less secure. Therefore just about anyone and everyone is susceptible to getting their identity stolen or compromised. So how did we get here you may ask? Well, that a good question. Brief History Identity thief is not something new despite the belief that it began with the internet. It has been around for thousand years or more. One of first recorded Identity thief in history and perhaps one of the greatest to occur happen in the Bible. It is The Blessing of Jacob by Deception (Genesis 27:1-46, King James Version). Jacob the youngest son of Isaac deceives his father by claiming to be his oldest brother, Esau (eldest son of Isaac) in order to receive the blessing that was reserved for the firstborn son. And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pay thee, sit and eat of my venison,...

...clever. Now I have a simple suggestion in order to fix such a problem, let’s get rid of all of the technologee. Wouldn’t you say life would be easier when we didn’t have a device to distract. Technologee is a variable than should be removed. Papers, papers, papers, shall be everywhere. Only paper and pen for assignments for the adolescence to increase their knowledge. No laptops, why research online when there are books. I once knew a man, who had the brain of a panda. He was such a technologeee young fella, always up to date with the new equipment. He knew so much but so little. Never had he ever received an A on a test in elementary. He was ridiculed by so many. He then decided to throw away all the technologee and wrote a paper. That paper helped him so so much. Such knowledge was produced out his mind. That young fella is the set example of why paper over rules technologee. Now let’s cut the trees and make these papers. Papers with so many assignments for the children shall solve this low education. 2nd graders given 5th grade work and so on, so the world will be shrewd. Doesn’t that sound intriguing, a smart world. And lets make the education free, no payments. This concept will elevate the youth onto the highest pedestal as of Zeus in Olympia, Washington up north of this nation. The additional work will one, get kids to be smarter. They will be the new leaders of our world. Kids will consume so much work...

...Jordan Koch Sociology 101 Research Paper Patriarchy What is Patriarchy? The basic definition is control by men and literally means “the rule of the father”. The term was used to refer to autocratic rule by the male head of a family, however; in modern times it typically refers to social systems where adult men primarily hold power. Males hold primary roles such as political leadership, moral authority, and property control, and fathers hold control over wives and children. Matriarchy is when women have control. Many countries including America are mainly a patriarchy. Throughout the history patriarchy has wiggled its way into the social, political, legal, and economic organization of a range of different cultures throughout the world. Evidence suggests that prehistoric hunter and gatherer societies favored equality for all people and that patriarchy social structures didn’t develop until years after the end of the Pleistocene era. One researcher, Robert M. Strozier, says historically there is no evidence found yet that there was a specific event that triggered patriarchy. Others think that the beginning of the spread of patriarchy had started six thousand years ago when the concept of fatherhood took place. The geographical record shows that there was climate change around 4000 BCE that had led to famines in the Sahara, Arabian Peninsula and the Central Asian deserts. James DeMeo argues that this is the event that occurred and led to patriarchy. This resulted in warlike...

...Second Temple Period Paper Liberty University Baptist Theological Seminary David Campbell NBST 510: New Testament Introduction June 28, 2015 It is imperative if one is to be a student of the bible they must know the history and chain of events surrounding the major areas of the bible and prominent figures. Do you not know that the history of the Old Testament is found primarily in the first 17 books Genesis-Esther, of our English Bibles? Genesis 1-11 more or less serves as the introduction to the whole Bible. Themes developed throughout the rest of scripture begin here. The Old Testament serves as a schoolmaster into the New and therefore requires extensive hours of study and comprehension to grasp what was happening under the law during Old Testament time. It cannot be studied without considering the influence of worldly events. Combined, the Old Testament and secular history merge to form a tapestry revealing God’s plan for humanity. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief history of the Second Temple Period beginning with the Persian Period and Israel’s return from exile and end with the destruction of the Second Temple in AD 70. This paper will also address how various events, individuals, and groups impacted the Jews and the land of Israel leading up to and during the time of Christ. In the Second part of the research we will look at Alexander the Great highlight the event...

...Niall Martin Lit – 101 – 057 Professor Scahill April 18th, 2014 Final Paper A Splice of the Future The theme of the mega-corporation runs deep in the history of science-fiction a genre that is continually evolving to reflect today’s technology. As far back as Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927), and as recently as James Cameron’s Avatar (2009), mega-corporations have served as the physical embodiment of the absence of humanity. Furthermore, these films continue to generate more complex and more compelling perceptions of the relationship between humans and technology, which is often made manifest in the mega-corporation. As often as the identity of the “natural” human may be called into question, in nearly all of these films the character the audience perceives to be most human is victorious in the end. Cameron’s Avatar, for instance, sees the protagonist Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) remain on the alien world of Pandora in the body of an alien. Although not innately human in form, it is Jake’s preserved sense of morality and his ability to sympathize with the other characters that give him his sense of humanity. However, in Vincenzo Natali’s Splice (2009), the victory does not lie with the most human characters, but rather with the dehumanizing corporation, which threatens to recreate all of humanity in its likeness. Natali argues that the creation of Dren (Delphine Chanéac) represents the future of humanity in the sense that humans are becoming creatures with equal parts human...

The dog was part of it. He wasn't fond of German shepherds, and this one, though he was standing quietly, reminded him of Panther, the police dog that rode with Deputy Kenny Moore and was quick to bite suspects in the crotch at the slightest command. Most of the time he regarded Moore as an idiot, but he was still just about the closest thing to a friend that Clayton had in the department, and he had to admit that Moore had a way of telling those crotch-biting stories that made Clayton double over in laughter. And Moore would definitely have appreciated the little skinny-dipping party Clayton had just broken up, when he'd spied a couple of coeds sunning down by the creek in all their morning glory. He hadn't been there for more than a few minutes and had snapped only a couple...
