The definition of the word religion is the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. The Greeks and Romans, during the Trojan War, prayed, and made sacrifices to their gods, to better their chances of winning the war, or simply beating their opponent; in literature, the relationship between gods and devotees are portrayed much differently. Even though the stories contain different religions, Euripides’s the Bacchae, Homer’s the Odyssey, and…

The Bacchae, written by Euripides, and Euthyphro, recorded by Plato, are both centered around the issue of piety and what constitutes piety. The Bacchae delves a little further into piety by also elaborating on the repercussions of being impious. Both works were written around 400 BCE and share a common thread in regards to attempting to convert people to their respective ways of thinking. However it can certainly be concluded that the two works take very different approaches in order to gain…

dread the day that Death comes to us, which is why we always try to postpone our meeting with him. However, Antioch and Cadmus internally thought that they could eventually use their gifts to beat Death. In this case, it applies to Antioch, “a wand that would beat all of his master’s battle” could have easily been used to defeat Death the day he eventually comes to him. Cadmus, who “wanted to humiliate Death even further,” asked for a way to recall the dead to the mortal world, so Death created…

dancing around … ‘I’ve got an unbeatable wand’” It’s true if Antioch kept his mouth quiet maybe he could have lived longer.

The importance of religion in a society can go to the extreme, but in some societies it is not taken to consideration. A society has its own culture and religion is part of that culture in which people follow. Personally, in my family’s culture the religion that we follow is Catholicism. The force and power religion can have is scary in the part where people think that everything they are doing has to deal with the religion they practice. Religion can be a dangerous and disruptive force in a…

I had decided that being stabbed in the heart wasn’t as painful as I’d imagined. I tensed up, my hands wrapping around the hilt of the blade now embedded in my chest. The thief was still standing there, gripping my bag tight and shaking like a leaf. He looked young - a little older than me, maybe. He looked scared. Was this his first time killing someone?

The Greeks were ambivalent toward Ares: although he embodied the physical valor necessary for success in war, he was a dangerous force, "overwhelming, insatiable in battle,…
