...mammoth fields bloom and where majestic monsters roam. They spend a short period together before Shun passes on, leading Asuna to feelings of longing. It isn't long before Ryuuji Morisaki, a substitute teacher, discusses the legend of Agartha (Shamballa, Hades etc. in other literary beliefs) in class, picking Asuna's interest. She visits him later that day and comes to learn of his intentions, eventually agreeing to accompany him on his journey to Agartha. Evaluation: Well this movie obviously reflects the other belief of another world, god, and mythical creatures, which proves that this is really related to what we are studying especially in the story of Illiad and Oddysey. In comparison the presence of gods and goddesses, mythical creatures, prophets and heroes are bought seen in Homer’s Illiad and Oddysey and in this movie. I’ve spent almost two...

...Parmenides and Ancient Greek Mythology In early 6th century BC, certain ancient Greeks called the Pre-socratics began to challenge mythological tradition, one of Greece’s first methods for explaining natural phenomena and the cosmos. One of these revolutionary thinkers, Parmenides, diverged from the typical mythological frameworks in three specific ways. Parmenides moved from the standard divine source of appeal for truth, in the form of muses, to a personal source of appeal for truth. Furthermore, Parmenides dictates that reasoning, which in ancient myths is often contradicting and non-provable, should be both logical and provable. Parmenides developed his own theoretical framework that explained reality and the cosmos through a poem, Parmenides of Elea, describing two views of reality: “The Way of Truth” and the “Way of Opinion”. In the first view, reality consists of one whole where change is impossible and all that exists has always been existent and will always be existent (T8 v. 1-34). In the latter view, he explains that the concrete reality of life is deceitful and a matter of opinion, and ultimately does not exist. In his philosophy, Parmenides both sustains certain aspects of the mythological framework and diverges to Pre-Socratic thinking. Structurally, the “Road of Truth” reflects the famous mythology The Odyssey because both are an epic and a metaphysical journey. Furthermore, the Goddess, Eros, replaces the general muse found in myths. Eros, like myth goddesses...

...people think today. Famous or not, big or small, anybody in this world can be a hero. They just have to sacrifice themselves for what is right and say what they know is righteous. In the epic The Odyssey, I consider Odysseus a hero. An example of a situation Oddyseus was an actual hero was when he helped his men escape the Cyclops. According to The Odyssey, Oddyseus “tied then silently together, twinning cords of willow from the ogre’s bed; then slung a man under each middle one.” Oddyseus tied each of his men together under a sheep and tried his best to make sure they were safe and hidden o that they could escape without a doubt. I know youre probably thinking Oddyseus isn’t a hero since he got his men in danger in the first place. The Oddysey states “It is Odysseus’ famed couriosity that leads him to the Cyclop’s cave and that makes him insist on waiting for the barbaric giant.” Although Odysseu got his men in danger in the first place, he also got them out at the end and didn’t just leave them. In Homer’s time, being a hero meant you had to be strong and brave to take on gigantic obstacles. Today, being a hero means standing up for what is right and giving up yourself to help others. As stated in the article, “Heroes Aren’t Just Idols” written by Peter Georgescu, “a hero can teach what I means to choose the good through self sacrifice.” I agree because there are many ways a person can do an act of heroism like sacrificing your time to help someone. Lessons that can be learned...
