...Ares, the god of war, represents the more violent and bloody aspects of war (Jordan 28). Ares revels in warfare, not caring who wins or loses as long as a lot of blood is shed (D’Aulaire 32). Ares is vain and cruel; described by Zeus as “the most hateful of gods” (D’Aulaire 32; Jordan 28). Ares’ sons, Deimos and Phobos, are even more barbaric than he is (Jordan 28). He is described by Homer as murderous and bloodstained, yet also a coward (Hamilton 34). Ares can not bear pain and when he was wounded would scream so loudly he could be heard for miles (D’Aulaire 32). Despite Ares being the god of war, he is not the best fighter among the gods; Athena would often beat him with her intelligence alone and he occasionally lost in hand to hand combat (Devambez 52). Ares is depicted as tall and handsome, wearing a helmet and armed with a spear 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...

...2 Reflection Paper “Off the Shelf and into Yourself” In this modern time of electronic explosion, using the right tools to properly exegesis the word of God is crucial. Not eliminating the bible as the concrete foundation of our Christian knowledge but allowing other resources to become windows in our biblical mansion. The author Mr. Black is sharing with us the necessity of having the right tools to properly make application of the word of God. Greek is the language used by the Gentiles in the New Testament and to adequately teach or preached the New Testament scriptures one need understand Greek translations. There are tools to assist in understanding Greek and we must take advantage of them just like a mechanic always update their tools according to modernization of cars. Paul writes to Timothy and states “to study to show ourselves approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”, (II Tim. 2:15). The author recommends ten essential tools in using and understanding Greek in ministry, which six of those tools will be discussed in this assignment. Let me establish that all of the tools are essential although I am discussing only six. The first tool is an English bible, whether the King James, (which is the recommended one), the Amplified Bible or whatever your preference is, one need a bible that adequately explains in English for easy comprehension. Secondly, one will need a modern edition of Greek New Testament...

...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...

...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...

One such mystery is that of the sons of God and the Nephilim in Genesis 6, an intriguing passage that recounts the existence of giants, called the Nephilim, that roam the earth in the days of Noah. To unlock the mysteries of the Nephilim, we first need to clearly understand who are the sons of God are, also their role in the producing the Nephilim.

...Rites of Passage Your Name ANT 101 Instructor's Name Date In times we see many different cultures that evolved around the earth and throughout time as well. This paper will examine Native Americans, Greek and the Japanese rites of passage. Ceremonies that mark important transitional periods in a person's life, such as birth, puberty, marriage, having children, and death. Rites of passage usually involve ritual activities and teachings designed to strip individuals of their original roles and prepare them for new roles. The traditional American wedding ceremony is such a rite of passage. In many so-called primitive societies, some of the most complex rites of passage occur at puberty, when boys and girls are initiated into the adult world. In some ceremonies, the initiates are removed from their village and may undergo physical mutilation before returning as adults (Rites of passage,(n.d.). Rites of Passage have been a path of life throughout time and space. Anthropologists have found many differences between cultures but also many similatries. Rites of passage from boy to man or girl to woman are different in some and strange in others. The Native Americans and the Greeks were not the same as the Japanese, but yet believed in some of the same old blood ways. Rites are not taught but learned throughout one’s lifetime. Native Americans had a volatile version of passage. In the earlier years, the Native American boys would play as boys. They would follow fathers and...

Jeremiah warned that the Lord would was sending the Babylonians to punish Judah. In 605 B.C. , Nebuchadnezzar led the Babylonian army to victory over the Eygptians at Carchemish, establishing control over Syria and northern Israel. Then he marched south and took some exiles including Daniel.1 “The Book of Daniel is not only one of the most intriguing works in the Bible, but it is also filled with timeless truths that are just as relevant to modern believers as they were to those who first heard them.”2 In this research paper we are going to assert that Daniel foresees the antichrist who will appear at the end of the age. There is much controversy about the antichrist. Who is he? Was he Hitler or Mussolini or some other despot that persecuted and...

...Brock Bilger ENGL 102 Research Paper October 14, 2011 Outline: I. The introduction and brief statement about the drama II. Discuses the theme of the paper and how it relates to the drama III. The Tragic hero definition and how that applies to the play IV. The big revaltion in the play that Oedipus sees V. Talk about Apollos power and the meaning of that and conclude to paper with that. The first criterion of a Greek tragedy is that the protagonist be a good person; doubly blessed with a good heart and noble intention. Sophocles reveals immediately at the start of the play that Oedipus is such a man. As is common in the Greek tragedy Oedipus is also an aristocrat. Born of the King and Queen of Thebes he is of true nobility. Oedipus on the other-hand believes his parents are the King and Queen of Corinth. Oedipus was abandoned as a baby and adopted by them. Because that information is known to the audience and not to Oedipus prior to the start of the play, it is a perfect example of tragic irony because when he declares that he will find the murderer he is the man that he pursues. Here he is told by Tiresias,” I say you are the murderer you hunt” (1235). The theme of Oedipus the King is not clear-cut. The theme in this tragic play seems to be you can‘t escape your fate. Contentment leads to ignorance as Oedipus lends fate a hand in his bitter end. This trait is touched-on in these lines spoken by Creon. “Look at you, sullen in yielding, brutal in...

...Research Paper: Discipleship Because I became a Christian at an early age, there are many terms and ideas used in the church that I never pondered upon; I simply accepted them. For example, the term "disciple" I identify as one of Jesus' twelve closest followers, one of the paper characters placed on the felt board during Sunday school. Through my research, I have discovered that while accepting Christ through faith alone grants us salvation, to become a disciple of Christ, or practice discipleship, requires work and commitment from the believer. The word disciple, or the Greek word mathetes, is used over 220 times in the Gospels, but not once in the Epistles, those letters written right after Christ's resurrection ("A Church-speak, n. d.). As customary for the Greek usage of the word, mathetes refers to a student who has personal interaction with their teacher. This offers one explanation as to why the word disciple is not used in the Epistles. No one had direct contact with Jesus anymore because He had gone on to Heaven to be with God. Another explanation for the absence of the word in the Epistles is that the churches that these letters were directed to were aware of Jesus' teachings about discipleship. It is possible that the writer did not mention discipleship because it would have been redundant to do so (Haines, 1999). According to the lecture notes, a disciple is a "student" or a "pupil" and the act of discipleship is "advancing the cause of the kingdom". During...
