Trojan War: West vs. East

Image
Ok recap: Judgment of Paris: Paris awarded the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite as the Fairest of All. Paris won Helen and the wrath of two powerful goddesses. Helen: Helen’s background, the suitor’s military alliance deal, her decision to left with Paris. Suitor’s military alliance: Helen’s “kidnapping” sparked a war with Troy and her allies. Leaders of Greece assemble for the Rescue of Helen and the Destruction of Troy. Sacrifice:  Agamemnon sacrificed his daughter to the Goddess Artemis for favored wife. He has an enemy wait for his return from the Trojan Campaign. To War: The Greek fleet arrived at Troy. Deciding that the best tactic would be to cut off the supply of provisions to the city, the Greeks attacked the surrounding towns. These battles took place over the course of nine years. By destroying the surrounding kingdoms, the Greeks not only gained supplies but also captives. It was only during the war's tenth year that the Greeks attacked Troy directly. King Priam of...

The Power of Thunder

Image
The Olympic Games are a celebration dedicated to Zeus, King of the Greek Gods. Zeus is the Lord of the Sky and Ruler of Mount Olympus and  the  gods and goddesses of the Olympian pantheon. Not an easy job for they were quite an unruly bunch! When the Olympians won the war against the ruling Titans, Zeus and his siblings wrested the throne from his father Cronus (Kronos) and the Olympian Age began. Zeus, God of the Sky: As Ruler of the Sky, the God Zeus is responsible for bringing (or not, if he so chose) rain, drought, and thunderstorms. No one dared challenge the authority of the mighty Zeus since he was prone to release his fearsome thunderbolts to express his displeasure . . . an awesome way to keep the peace and maintain order, but it worked for several centuries! The birth of Zeus was to be a fateful event . . . and it certainly was an unusual one! Sixth child of the ruling Titan Cronus and the Titaness Rhea, Zeus was the first to escape the fate of being ...

The Wisdom of the Gods: Athena

Image
I thought I celebrate the Birthday of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and War. The Male Athena The Greek goddess Athena is usually portrayed as one of the most benevolent goddesses. She is also strong, fair, and merciful.  Athena is known as one of the three virgin goddesses, referred to as virgin because they were able to remain independent and free from men’s control, immune   to the   spells of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, and the consequent pull of marriage and motherhood.  In Greek mythology Athena was, in essence, the prototype of the "career woman". Athena is the daughter of Zeus and Metis. But there was a problem, Zeus  was told by Mother Gaia that if he had a son by her this son would be mightier than him (you know, the same way he was greater than his daddy and his daddy was greater than his grandpa). So to nick this in the butt he tricked Metis to come close to him and swallowing her. He figured she was no longer a threat. However, Met...

Ruler of the Water: Poseidon

Image
The reason I talk Atlantis this week so I can honor her greatest of all gods Poseidon. With power over world’s water, Poseidon is often considered second in command to Zeus. He is the mighty Ruler of the Seas and Oceans and fear and respect by all. Poseidon controls the seas and can create earthquakes. Ancient Greek sailors tried to appease him by sacrificing horses, but most of the ancients know not to piss him off went sailing the Mediterranean Sea. When the Olympian Gods divided the domains by drawing lots, Poseidon won the game. He chosen the seas because he saw the skies are empty and the seas is full with life, mysteries and adventure. Part of his domain is other bodies of waters such as lakes and rivers although most rivers do have their own gods, sons of Oceanus. They agree to all shares the power over the earth, though the greatest responsibility for it went to Poseidon. Poseidon is often called “Earth-Shaker” because he has the power to create earthquakes with his t...
