Myths and Scripture
In the academic humanities and social sciences, myth is a well-established category, particularly in classics, literature, anthropology, and religion. Scripture is a generic native category used by biblically based faiths to represent themselves. Some academics extend it to other religions as well.
hermes was here
orion
Orion was a huge huntsman in Greek mythology who Zeus set among the stars as the constellation of Orion. There are two major versions of Orion's birth and multiple tales of his death, according to ancient texts. His birth in Boeotia, his visit to Chios where he met Merope and raped her, being blinded by Merope's father, regaining his sight at Lemnos, hunting with Artemis on Crete, his death by the bow of Artemis or the sting of the giant scorpion which became Scorpius, and his elevation to the heavens are the most important recorded episodes.
Jonah and the whale
The narrative of Jonah and the whale revolves around a Hebrew prophet named Jonah, whom God commissions to travel to the great city of Nineveh and preach repentance to its residents due to their wickedness. Jonah, on the other hand, denies God's assignment and attempts to flee by boarding a ship sailing in the opposite direction.

SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF ORION (GREEK MYTHOLOGY) AND JONAH AND THE WHALE (SCRIPTURE)
- When the both character face the conflict or struggle in the story, they fight against it and noth learned a new lesson.
- The protagonist of the two story have their own special ability given by their creator
- Jonah and Orion got a reward for their faithfulness
- Their God put them in a hardest situation where they need to show their love and trust to their Gods
- At the end of the story, Jonah and Orion are both forgiven by their God
Nisus and Scylla
The narrative of Nisus and Scylla can be found in Book VIII of Ovid's Metamorphoses, which was published around the year 8 AD. The work is divided into fifteen (15) books and is known in English as "transformations," or simply "the myth of transformations" (Volk, 2010).
Nisus was killed (or committed suicide) and changed into a sea eagle. Scylla later drowned, presumably at the hands of Minos, and was transformed into a sea bird (Greek keiris, Latin ciris), possibly a heron, who was relentlessly followed by the sea eagle.
Samson and delilah
Samson was God's chosen man during the reign of the judges over Israel. He was destined from infancy to liberate Israel from the Philistines. While Samson was physically immensely strong, he was a very weak character. Among his shortcomings was a penchant for Philistine women. Delilah was one of them.
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF NISUS AND SCYLLA (GREEK MYTHOLOGY) SAMSON AND DELILAH (SCRIPTURE)
- The strength of Samson and Nisus is derived from their hair.
- Both stories illustrate betrayal of loved ones, with Scylla betraying his father and Delilah betraying Samson.
- When the protagonists are no longer present or have perished, the one who betrayed them pursues them, such as Scylla became a seabird as his father became a sea eagle, and Delilah and Samson both die in collapse.
- Nisus and Samson both have secrets that have been spied on, and they both deceived each other.
- King Minos disguised himself as Delilah to spy on Nisus, leading Samson to feel she loves him when, in fact, she only wants to discover his secret.
For the last time, Poseidon. The answer is no!- Hades
abraham and sarah
The Genesis story of Abraham and Sarah centres around the themes of descendants and the country promised by God. God tells Abraham to leave his father Terah's house and go to the land that was previously given to Canaan but which God now pledges to Abraham and his descendants.
Baucis and Philemon
The story of Baucis and Philemon, which exists on the edge of Greek and Roman mythology, is told in Ovid's moralizing fables gathered as Metamorphoses. Baucis and Philemon were an old married couple in Tyana, which Ovid placed in Phrygia, and the only ones in their town to welcome disguised gods Zeus and Hermes, representing the pious exercise of hospitality, the ritualized guest-friendship known as Xenia, or theoxenia when a god was involved.

LOL! HAHAHA ARROW GO BRRR!-Apollo
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF BAUCIS AND PHILEMON (GREEK MYTHOLOGY) ABRAHAM AND SARAH (SCRIPTURE)
- The Myth and Scripture story is strongly incorporated in the aspects of ethical code.
- The stories are manuals of morality, providing models for correct conduct with examples of which behaviors are rewarded and which are punished.
daucalion and pyrrha
noah's ark
The story of Deucalion and Pyrrha is the Greek equivalent of Noah's ark, as told in the masterpiece of Roman poet Ovid, The Metamorphoses. The Greek version is the story of Deucalion and Pyrrha. The flood, like the stories found in the Old Testament and Gilgamesh, is a retribution meted out by the gods to humanity in the Greek version.
In the Genesis flood story, Noah's Ark is the vessel in which God saves Noah, his family, and examples of all the world's animals from a world-destroying flood. The Ark appears in the Quran as Safinat N and al-fulk, with slight modifications on the Genesis tale.

The distinction between the two flood accounts is that Noah and his entire family were chosen to survive in order for them to procreate and re-populate the planet. On the contrary, according to the story of Deucalion and Pyrrha, who repopulated the world by flinging stones. The floods in both stories were employed to punish humanity. . The two stories depict how the old planet was beautified and gave birth to a new human race.

Labors of Hercules
Eurystheus had originally assigned Hercules 10 labors to accomplish, but because Eurystheus invalidated two of them, he assigned Hercules two extra labors to perform. Hercules' task in this labor was to steal apples from Hesperides' garden. Hercules toured the world in pursuit of the apples and was advised by Prometheus to ask Atlas to steal them. While Atlas snatched the fruits, Hercules held up the heavens and the earth.
In the town of Nemea, there lived an unstoppable lion who wreaked havoc and terror. Hercules was tasked with killing the lion and retrieving his skin. Hercules used raw strength and cunning valor to choke the lion and bring the skin to Eurystheus.
Slay the Namean Lion
A nine-headed serpent lurked in the swamps of Lerna, terrifying the residents. The hydra was venomous and had a single immortal head that could not be killed. Hercules and his nephew, Iolaus, set out for Lerna. Hercules was able to destroy the nine-headed hydra with the assistance of Iolaus.
Slay the Lernean Hydra
Ceryneia, a town in Greece, was home to a hind. Because this deer had golden horns and bronze hooves and was devoted to Artemis, the goddess of hunting and animals, Hercules would not kill it. Instead, Hercules spent a year hunting deer every day. Hercules took advantage of an opportunity to shoot the deer. On his way home, Hercules saw Artemis and Apollo and had to explain why he had apprehended the deer. Hercules revealed to them his service to Eurystheus. Artemis and Apollo agreed to let Hercules take the hind on the condition that he return it unharmed.
Capture the Golden Hind
Eurystheus commanded Hercules to bring him the wild boar from Erymanthos Mountain. Hercules paid a visit to his centaur friend, Pholos. Other centaurs were drawn to the cave after the two ate and drank wine. Hercules slew the centaurs with his arrows, which would be Pholos' downfall. Pholos picked up an arrow and wondered how it was so fatal until he accidently put the poisoned arrow on his foot and killed himself. Hercules found Pholos, buried him, and set out to hunt the boar. Hercules was able to drive the scared boar into the snow, where he trapped it in a net and brought it to Eurystheus.
Capture the Erymanthian Boar
Over 1,000 animals were housed in King Augeas' stable. Hercules volunteered to clean the stables in a single day in exchange for a tenth of his livestock. Hercules used his fast intellect and clever ingenuity to reroute the two main rivers, Alpheus and Peneus, in order to wash out the waste. When he went home, Eurystheus told him that his labor was in vain because he had utilized the rivers to clean their stables.
Clean the Stables of King Augeas
Eurystheus sent Hercules to drive away a large flock of birds that had congregated in the town of Stymphalos. Because the birds were vicious man-eaters, Hercules had to figure out way to properly remove the birds from town. Athena paid Hercules a visit and offered him a noisy clapper to help him chase the birds away. Hercules shot the birds as they flew away from town with his bow and arrow, while the rest flew away.
Defeat the Stymphalian Birds.
Hercules traveled to Crete, where King Minos granted Hercules permission to capture the bull. This bull was ruining the city and frightening the citizens. Hercules wrestled the bull to the ground and returned him to Eurystheus.
Capture the Cretan Bull.
Eurystheus asked Heracles to return the Mares of Diomedes to him. These mares represent the lure to excessive asceticism, which constrains life's energy and must thus be reoriented.
Bring Back the Mares of Diomedes.
When Hercules landed in the country of the Amazons, Hippolyta approached him and inquired as to why he was there. Eurystheus desired the belt for his daughter, Admete. As they approached Hercules, the tribe got fearful and outfitted in armor. Hera, dressed as an Amazon warrior, informed the tribe that Hercules was on his way to capture Hippolyte.
Obtain the Belt of Hippolyta
To collect the livestock, Hercules had to journey to the island of Erytheia. In order to find the cattle, he had to slay several beasts along the route. When he found the cattle and began the journey home, the bulls in the herd became agitated. Hercules would have to quit the herd in order to find the ones who had escaped. Hercules eventually gathered the herd and led it to Eurystheus, who sacrificed the cattle to Hera.
Obtain the Cattle of Geryon
Eurystheus had originally assigned Hercules 10 labors to accomplish, but because Eurystheus invalidated two of them, he assigned Hercules two extra labors to perform. Hercules' task in this labor was to steal apples from Hesperides' garden. Hercules toured the world in pursuit of the apples and was advised by Prometheus to ask Atlas to steal them. While Atlas snatched the fruits, Hercules held up the heavens and the earth. Atlas asked Hercules to take the fruits to Eurystheus, and Hercules complied, asking Atlas to hold the heavens and earth while he adjusted his clothes. Hercules departed and returned to Eurystheus to give the golden apples when Atlas took the heavens and earth back onto his shoulders.
Bring the Golden Apples of Hesperides
The beast, Cerberus, was to be captured as the twelfth and last assignment. Cerberus was a three-headed hound who guarded the underworld's gates to prevent the living world from entering. Hercules journeyed through a deep cave to access the underworld after realizing he couldn't enter by this door. Hercules fought several animals and monsters in the underworld until he arrived at Hades. Hercules requested permission from Hades to bring the Cerberus to the surface. Hades consented, but only if Hercules could stop the music with his bare hands and no weapons. Hercules was able to subdue the Cerberus and take him to Eurystheus, who demanded he return the Cerberus to the underworld.

Samson
Samson lived in the territory given to the Israelites by God. However, there were still other people that lived on the area or attacked the Israelites. During the time when Israel did not have a ruler, God used men (and one woman) named Judges to guide and protect the people.Samson was one of these judges. Despite the fact that we probably think of Samson as a bad man, God nonetheless used him to fulfill His goals. This narrative is found in Judges chapters 13-16.
According to legend, Samson is heading towards the hamlet of his future wife when a juvenile lion attacks him. The Lord's Spirit descends on him, and he cuts the lion apart with his bare hands! He was not only powerful enough to fight the lion, but he was also strong enough to tear it apart limb from limb. What a macabre scene!
A Young Lion
Samson's riddle appears in the biblical Book of Judges, where it is part of a wider story about Samson, the last of the ancient Israelites' judges. Samson confronts his thirty wedding guests with the following riddle: "Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet."
Samson's Riddle
Samson's wife was stolen from him, and his father-in-law forbade him from having her. Instead, Samson's father offered him a younger sister. The thought of a substitute did not sit well with Samson. Samson punished himself by tying 300 foxes together by their tails in pairs and lighting a torch between them. The foxes rushed through the Philistines' corn fields, destroying their crops. The Philistines retaliated against Samson by destroying his wife and her household. More at: https://www.whatchristianswanttoknow.com/samson-bible-story-summary-and-study/#ixzz7O34xB4Tg
Foxes and the Corn
Samson's 20-year rule over the Philistines began with this single-man war against the Philistines. Despite the fact that Samson did not always obey God or His purpose, God used him to govern and protect Israel. As a result, he is one of the numerous judges mentioned in the Bible by God.
Judge
Delilah is commonly assumed to have been a Philistine, despite the fact that she is not mentioned in the Bible. The name "Delilah" is a Hebrew name; yet, many foreigners in the Bible had Hebrew names, therefore Delilah's name cannot be considered conclusive proof that she was Hebrew.
Delilah
Samson's hair had been shaved and his eyes had been gouged out. He was subjected to the Philistines' grinding wheel. Samson was humiliated in public. Samson was humiliated once more in front of the prison house. He asked the young boy who was leading him out (probably like a dog on a leash) to lay his hands on the building's pillars. Despite being blinded and humiliated, or perhaps because he had finally been humbled, Samson appealed to God to let him to undertake a job on behalf of Israel once more. God gave him the strength to demolish the building. According to the Bible, Samson killed more people in his death under the debris of the building than he did in his life.
Capture and Death
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF HERCULES (GREEK MYTHOLOGY) SAMSON SAMSON (SCRIPTURE)
- Both Hercules and Samson overcame many obstacles with their great strength. Samson killed thirty Philistines, set 300 foxes on fire in the Philistines’ fields after discovering his wife had been given to another, broke his bonds when captured, and killed 1,000 Philistines with a donkey’s jawbone.
- Hercules completed 12 challenging labors, rescued the princess of Troy from a sea-monster, and helped Zeus defeat the Giants battling for control of Olympus
- A striking similarity between Samson and Hercules is that they both defeated a lion. Samson used his great strength to kill a lion in Timnah (New American Bible Judges 14:1-6). Hercules killed a lion at the hills of Nemea as one of his 12 labors (“Hercules”).

LEGENDARY PERSONAGES IN MYTHS AND HISTORY SAMPLES
ODYSSEUS
Ulysses is a Roman name. The hero of Homer's Odyssey is Odysseus. He is Ithaca's king and a famous fighter in the Trojan War, but he is best known for his decade-long journey home from the war. Odysseus overcomes the difficulties he faces by using his wits. He is the most modern and human of the classical heroes, a great talker and excellent strategist.
hercules
Another well-known Greek hero, a son of Zeus who ascends to Olympus after his death. Hercules is known for his enormous strength and valor, yet he is also lacking in wisdom and self-control. Most of his exploits begin with a terrible error that he subsequently strives to correct. The Twelve Labors of Hercules are the punishment he receives for slaying his family in a bout of craziness.
theseus
A classic Athenian hero and the son of King Aegeus of Athens. Theseus is a model citizen: a caring leader who is considerate of his friends and countrymen. However, Theseus has flaws: he abandons Ariadne and subsequently doubts his own son, which leads to his terrible demise.
Jason
One of the Greek heroes who left the most to be desired. Jason's greatest significant achievement is the gathering of a band of heroes to embark on a long-false quest to recover the Golden Fleece. When Jason arrives in Colchis to collect the Golden Fleece, the king's daughter, Medea, falls in love with him. Jason abandons her and subsequently marries a princess for political reasons. In retaliation, Medea murders Jason's new wife and her own children, whom Medea inherited from Jason. Even though he is still alive, he bears the burden of this catastrophe, which is in some ways worse than death.
Perseus
Zeus's kid with the lovely princess Dana. Dana's father, forewarned that Perseus will murder him eventually, locks the newborn and his mother in a trunk and throws it into the sea. Perseus lives, matures, and sets out to kill the monster Medusa and retrieve her head. As predicted, he kills his grandfather, albeit unintentionally, by striking him with a wayward discus.

achilles
In Greek mythology, Achilles is the son of the mortal Peleus, ruler of the Myrmidons, and the Nereid, or sea goddess, Thetis. Achilles was the most valiant, attractive, and powerful warrior in Agamemnon's army during the Trojan War. Achilles was raised by his mother in Phthia alongside his inseparable comrade Patroclus, according to Homer. Patroclus may have been Achilles' kinsman or lover, according to later non-Homeric stories.
agamemnon
Agamemnon was a Mycenean king, Helen's brother-in-law, and the commander of the Greek forces sent to Troy (to fight the Trojan War) to reclaim Helen for her Greek husband, Menelaus.

Hector
Hector was King Priam of Troy's son and the best Trojan warrior during the Trojan War. He assassinated Patroclus and was assassinated by Achilles.
HELEN OF TROY AND MENELAUS
Helen of Troy is famous for being the visage that launched a thousand ships, igniting the Trojan War. When Paris abducted Helen, she was married to King Menelaus of Sparta.
patroclus
Patroclus was responsible for Achilles' return to the Trojan War, first by proxy and subsequently for vengeance. While Achilles continued to refuse to fight for the Greeks, he allowed his friend Patroclus to wear his armor and command his warriors. Patroclus was killed by the Trojans, who mistook him for Achilles. Achilles returned to the battle to avenge Patroclus' death.
TROJAN HORSE
Odysseus conjured up the Trojan Horse to get the Greek forces inside the Trojan Walls. The Trojans accepted the horse as a gift, unaware that it was brimming with troops. After welcoming the gift into their city, the Trojans celebrated what they thought was the departure of the Greeks, but while they were sleeping, the Greeks spilled forth from the horse's belly and devastated Troy.

paris
Paris, also known as Alexander, is a mythological prince who appears in a variety of Greek mythology. He is the son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy. The elopement with Helen, queen of Sparta, was arguably the most well-known of these appearances, and it was one of the direct reasons of the Trojan War. Later in the conflict, as predicted by Achilles' mother, Thetis, he fatally wounds Achilles in the heel with an arrow.
aeneas and rome
In Greek mythology, Aeneas was a Trojan hero who was the son of Anchises and the goddess Aphrodite. He is more prominently featured in Roman mythology, and is regarded as a forefather of Rome's founders, Remus and Romulus.
Augustus' hero was a poem whose hero represented not just the course and goal of Roman history, but also Augustus' own career and policy. Virgil portrayed the virtues of persistence, self-denial, and obedience to the gods that, according to the poet, founded Rome in Aeneas' trip from Troy westward to Sicily, Carthage, and eventually to the mouth of the Tiber in Italy.
Virgil, who lived in the first century BCE, gave the many strands of Aeneas tale the shape they have had ever since. The Aeneid, Virgil's masterpiece, is a Latin epic.
jason and the argonauts
Apollonius of Rhodes wrote the epic poem Jason and the Golden Fleece in Ancient Greece. It is also known as the Argonautica and is the sole surviving epic from the Hellenistic period in Greece. Jason, the son of Aeson and the god Hermes' grandson, embarks on a journey for the legendary Golden Fleece in order to reclaim his father's reign from his evil uncle Pelias. Jason journeys to numerous islands with a group of demigods and monarchs, braving monsters, storms, and other challenges in his quest for the Golden Fleece, which no one has ever been able to retrieve.
In Greek mythology, the Argonauts were a group of 50 warriors who sailed from Thessaly, where their captain, Jason, was the rightful king of Iolcus. The Argonauts accompanied Jason to Colchis in his search for the Golden Fleece years before the Trojan War.
attica
A peninsula that juts out into the Aegean Sea in a triangle shape. It is naturally divided from Boeotia to the north by the Cithaeron and Parnes mountain ranges, which are 10 miles (16 kilometers) long. The Greek mainland narrows into Megaris to the west of Eleusis, connecting to the Peloponnese at the Isthmus of Corinth.
theseus
Theseus is a Greek mythological hero who was regarded as an early ruler of Athens. His most famous adventure was the slaughter of the terrible Minotaur of the Cretan ruler Minos. He was famous for murdering villains, Amazons, and centaurs.
THE MARATHONIAN BULL
Now, the Marathonian Bull is actually the same bull Heracles managed to capture for his seventh labor. Formerly known as the Cretan Bull, the creature was either set free by Heracles or escaped from Tiryns by itself. After traversing the Isthmus of Corinth, it arrived at Marathon and bothered its inhabitants for years before Theseus finally managed to master it. After showing it to Aegeus and Medea, Theseus killed the Bull and sacrificed it to Apollo
foreshadowing of a hero
The night Theseus was conceived, his mother Aethra slept with Aegeus, the king of Athens, and Poseidon, the god of the sea. Whoever his father had been, Theseus’ exceptional parentage was evident even in his early years. Soon after Theseus reached adulthood, Aethra sent him to Athens.
THESEUS IN TROEZEN
ARIADNE AND THE MINOTAUR
Soon after Theseus’ return to Athens, it was due for Aegeus to pay the third yearly tribute to Minos, the king of Crete. Namely, in recompense for the death of Minos’ son, Androgeus – once savagely killed by the Athenians out of jealousy and envy – Athens obliged to regularly send fourteen of its noblest young men and women to Crete, where each of them was destined to meet the same end: to be thrown into Daedalus’ Labyrinth and be devoured by the monstrous half-man half-bull Minotaur
Always in pursuit for fame and glory – and now deeply despaired over the gruesome fate awaiting the innocent young Athenians – Theseus resolved to do something about this. When the time came for Theseus to enter the Labyrinth, Ariadne gave him a ball of thread (provided by Daedalus) that was supposed to help him navigate himself inside the structure and guide him safely out of it. As beastly as he was, the Minotaur was no match for Theseus' strength and determination: after a brief fight, the Athenian killed the monster and followed the thread back to safety.
THESEUS IN CRETE
a broken promise
Before setting off for Crete, Theseus had promised his father that, if he survived the Minotaur, he would change his ship’s black sail to a white one. Thus, Aegeus would be able to discern from some distance whether his son was still alive. Unfortunately, he either forgot his promise altogether or was too distraught to make the change on time. Watching from a vantage point, Aegeus couldn’t bear the sight he had most dreaded to see, so he hurled himself to his death straight away.
theseus and ariadne
After the brief marital ceremony, Theseus took Ariadne with him and, together with the other young Athenians, left Crete. As soon as his ships reached the island of Dia (later called Naxos), Theseus sailed away. Some say that he did this because he had fallen in love with another girl in the meantime (Panopeus' daughter Aegle) or because he was forced to obey the will of Dionysus. The latter claim that the god arrived on the island just moments after Theseus had left it.
THESEUS IN CRETE
theseus and perithous
A few years later, the two companions attempted a similar raid in the Underworld, but the abduction of Hades' wife, Persephone, didn't go as planned, and instead of fleeing with Persephone, Theseus and Pirithous remained bound on two enchanted seats, immobile. On his way to catch Cerberus, Heracles noticed and recognized the heroes; while he was able to save Theseus with great effort, the earth trembled when he attempted to do the same with Pirithous; as a result, Heracles had no choice but to abandon Pirithous to the Underworld forever.
unification of attica
Theseus was now the king of Athens – and what a king he was! The list of his achievements is rather lengthy, but most authors agree that the greatest among them was the successful political unification (synoikismos) of Attica under Athens. In addition, Theseus is credited with instituting the festival of the Panathenaea and the Isthmian Games.
ship of theseus(fun fact)
In the metaphysics of identity, the ship of Theseus is a thought experiment that raises the question of whether an object that has had all of its components replaced remains fundamentally the same object. The concept is one of the oldest in Western philosophy, having been discussed by the likes of Heraclitus and Plato by c. 500–400 BC. One common example of this thought experiment is from the last episode of Wandavision, where two Vision – instead of battling physically – resolves their conflict by using the Ship of Theseus. Wanda’s Vision aims to stop White Vision by questioning his objective to destroy the Vision, using the thought experiment to prove that White Vision would destroy himself if he would go on with his directive. Below is the link to watch the debate between the two AI robots.
death of theseus
Once freed from the Underworld, Theseus hurried back to Athens only to find out that the city now had a new ruler: Menestheus. He fled right away for refuge to Lycomedes, the king of the island of Scyros. A tragic mistake, since Lycomedes was a supporter of Menestheus! After a few days of feigned hospitality, Lycomedes took the unsuspecting Theseus on a tour of the island; the second they reached its highest cliff, he violently pushed Theseus to his death.
ship of theseusfun fact (cont.)
After watching the debate between the two, choose a side from below and explain your thoughts why you came to a conclusion: White Vision: The Ship of Theseus is an artifact in a museum. Over time its plank of wood rot are replaced with new planks. When no original plank remains, is it still the ship of Theseus? Vision: If those removed planks are restored and reassembled, free of the rot, is that the ship of Theseus?
the fall of troy
The Fall of Troy occurs when the Greeks decide that their army is too powerful to overcome the City of Troy. The Greeks decide that the only way to beat the Trojans is to get their army inside Troy.

return of the greeks
The Trojan War was decided through a combination of ingenuity and a stroke of luck. Instead of believing their own priest, Laocoon, the Trojans chose to accept as true the testimony of a Greek traitor named Sinon, and this resulted in them mistaking Odysseus' shrewd stratagem, the Trojan Horse, for a divine gift. During the sack of Troy, the Greeks killed every member of the Trojan royal family and took with them almost every Trojan princess. Most of those who did return to Greece met their ends in ways unfitting for legendary warriors.
POWER RANGERS!-DIONYSYUS
- Menelaus' was the one who embarked on the journey first, but he reached Sparta much later than Agamemnon—by that time, already killed by his wife.
- First, Menelaus' fleet was blown by strong winds (sent by the vengeful Athena) to Crete and then to Egypt.
- Advised by the nymph Eidothea, Menelaus eventually captured the shapeshifting sea-god Proteus, who informed him both of the death of his brother and of the sacrifices he is entitled to make to be granted favorable winds from the gods.
- Accompanied by his wife Helen, Menelaus reached Sparta on the very day that Orestes killed Clytemnestra
- and Aegisthus. The two lived a quiet and happy life and, on their death, the lovers were supposedly both made immortal by Zeus.
Menelaus
- Compared to that of his brother Menelaus, Agamemnon—joined by the Trojan princess Cassandra and probably guarded by Athena—enjoyed a prosperous journey back home.
- ·However, he didn't know that, in his absence, his wife Clytemnestra (angry at him for sacrificing their daughter Iphigenia) had taken his cousin Aegisthus as her lover; neither could he have guessed that the day of his arrival would be the last day of his earthly existence; in actual fact, his murder had been prepared long before he came ashore and kissed the Greek land with otherworldly joy.
- ·Eight years would pass before Agamemnon's death is avenged by his son Orestes, an event which will put an end to the cycle of death and revenge for more than this family.
Agamemnon
- It's safe to say that not only he needed a decade to reach his home, but he also had to deal with the suitors of his wife Penelope once he reached there.
- ·It is difficult to say what happened next since different authors tell different stories of Odysseus and Penelope's later years, ranging from a murder motivated by infidelity to a "happily ever after" marriage.
- ·Either way, there should be no doubt that Odysseus' glory years were those between the fall of Troy and his arrival in Ithaca; whether in peace or infamy, he spent the rest of his life far from the eyes and ears of poets.
Odysseus
- Diomedes, the son of Tydeus and Odysseus' most faithful companion, was one of the few Greek heroes who safely reached their homeland.
- However, back in Argos, he found out that his wife Aegialeia had become the mistress of Cometes, Sthenelus' son.
- Either way, Diomedes left Argos for Italy, where he settled in Daunia, marrying the daughter of King Daunus, Euippe, and founding quite a few famous cities.
- It is said that in his later years, Diomedes was visited by Turnus, the prince of the Rutulians, who came to seek his help against an old enemy of his, Aeneas. "
- Diomedes met his end at the hands of Daunus, most probably jealous of the fame his son-in-law had acquired in the meantime.
Diomedes
- He took, as his war-spoils, the Trojan seer Helenus and Hector's widow, Andromache.
- ·However, unaware of Menelaus' pledge, Hermione's grandfather Tyndareus had also promised her to Orestes in the meantime.
- ·However, all of them end at Delphi with Neoptolemus being killed because of some sacrilege.
- ·It seems that, despite Tyndareus' promise, Menelaus decided to send Hermione to Phthia; however, she turned out to be barren, which is why Neoptolemus went to search for advice at Delphi; there, he either didn't sacrifice properly or casually offended Apollo for having killed his father.
- ·Be that as it may, he never returned to Phthia, and both of his wives remarried: Andromache to Helenus, and Hermione to Orestes.
Neoptolemus
Rest of the Heroes
HAHA, DEDZ-Poseidon!
- Calchas
- Demophon
- Taucer
- Philoctetes
- Nestor
The rest of the heroes
Many of the Greek heroes who sacked Troy never reached Greece again, dying in a great storm sent by Poseidon at Cape Kafireas; of those who did, few more bear at least a passing mention.
- It was predicted that Calchas, the seer who accompanied the Greeks to the Trojan War, would die only if he met a prophet more farseeing than him.
- That happened very soon after the end of the war, in Colophon, a city near Troy.
- Mopsus dared Calchas to a duel, which the latter pridefully accepted, challenging Mopsus to say the exact number of figs borne by a nearby wild fig-tree covered with fruit.
- Mopsus gave the right answer, and, in turn, challenged Calchas to guess the number of piglets an adjacent pregnant sow would give birth to.
- Humiliated and heartbroken, Calchas died on the spot.
Calchas
- ·At Thrace, Demophon fell in love with the Bisaltian princess Phyllis and married her; however, he got tired after a while and decided to go home to Athens.
- ·Assuming that he had no intention of coming back, Phyllis gave him a casket and told him to open it only if it ever happens that he abandons all hope of returning to Thrace.
- ·Probably out of curiosity, Demophon did open the casket after some time; nobody knows what was inside it, but whatever it was, it sent Demophon in a mad frenzy; he died a lunatic, falling down on his own sword.
Demophon
- ·The great archer Teucer successfully returned home to Salamis, but, as he had predicted, it wasn't a warm welcome by any means.
- ·His father Telamon, angry for not bringing with him the body of his dead half-brother Ajax on his arms, quickly disowned and banished him.
- ·This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA-NC
- Either because he managed to conquer the island with the help of King Belus of Syria, or because he married the daughter of king Cyniras, Teucer eventually settled in Cyrus, where he founded a new city.
- ·He named it Salamis, after his home city-state.
Teucer
- ·Philoctetes too reached his hometown of Meliboea in Thessaly, but, much like his fellow-archer Teucer and Diomedes, he was expelled from there—in his case, by rebels.
- ·He fled to Southern Italy where he founded at least two cities.
- ·After his death, he was buried in their vicinity, beside the river Sybaris (Coscille).
Philoctetes
- ·It seems that only Nestor, the most just and most pious of all Greek heroes under Troy, was blessed with a peaceful and safe journey to his hometown of Pylus.
- ·He spent the rest of his life there, undisturbed by wars, joyous and serene, and surrounded by wise and courageous sons and grandsons.
- ·He died a revered sage, into extreme old age, having ruled through three generations of men.
Nestor
Hippolyta and the amazons
Hippolyta, the strongest and wisest of the Amazons, was their leader. Ares, the God of War, was a descendant of the Amazons. They were well-renowned for their bravery, strength, and pride, even beyond the known world's boundaries at the time.
Ninth Labor of Hercules
Heracles' ninth labor carried him to the country of the Amazons, where he had to retrieve the queen's belt for Eurystheus' daughter. The Amazons were a warrior women's race, superb archers who had invented the technique of horseback combat.
theseus and the conflict of the amazons & the athenians
The Amazons accuse the Defendant (Theseus) of kidnapping them. Theseus allegedly kidnapped Hippolyta, the queen of the warrior women, and forced her to marry him. The Amazons seized control of the law and waged war against Theseus and Athens.

Circumstances surrounding Noah's ArkGenesis 6:1 - 8
Noah's arkStory Tower
According to the Bible, Noah's time was a horrible time. God recognized that man's bad ideas were leading him away from God. The times were so bad that God declared that He would wipe man from the face of the planet. But suddenly God remembered Noah. God knew Noah might be used to preach repentance to the people and build an ark (a big ship) to save those who would trust God since Noah loved God and tried to obey Him. The Bible reads in Genesis 6:8 that Noah found grace in the eyes of God.
Noah's FamilyGenesis 6:9 - 13
Noah's arkStory Tower
Noah and his wife had three sons and three daughters-in-law. They were a family of eight, including his wife. At the end of the novel, we learn that these eight people are the only ones who were saved and were summoned to replenish the earth. Shem, Ham, and Japheth were Noah's three sons.
Instructions for the ArkGenesis 6:14 - 7:6
Noah's arkStory Tower
God told Noah to build a big boat that He would use to save life on Earth. The animals were brought to Noah by God. The pure animals would enter the ark in groups of seven (Genesis 7:2), while the unclean animals would enter in pairs (Genesis 6:20). God explained the structure of the boat. He specified the type of wood to be used and the size of the ark. This was supplied as a unit of measurement known as a "cubit," which is approximately 18" (45 cm) in length. That suggests the ark was around 450 feet (135 meters) long and 45 feet broad (22.5 meters). The ark stood 45 feet (13.5 meters) tall and was divided into three tiers.
The FloodGenesis 7:7 - 24
Noah's arkStory Tower
We don't know how long Noah spent building the ark, but by piecing together some of the ages and dates given between Genesis 5 and Genesis 11, it appears that Noah constructed the ark and preached for at least 55 years and possibly as many as 120 years before the deluge. The popular number of 120 years is derived from Genesis 6:3, where God says that man's days will be 120 years. When he entered the ark, he was 600 years old. Noah and his family were the only ones that boarded the ark because no one else did. They waited in the ark for seven days before the flood. It rained actively for 40 days, according to Genesis 7:12 and 17. The earth was submerged for 150 days, or nearly six months.
After the FloodGenesis 8
The ark landed on Mount Ararat after 150 days at sea. Noah released a raven, which flew away and returned repeatedly until the floods receded. The first time he released a dove, which he did three times, it had nowhere to rest. He dispatched the dove again seven days later, but this time it returned with an olive branch. Because there was evidence of vegetation and dry earth, Noah knew it was time to leave. The floodwaters began to decrease as the floodwaters came to a halt.
The RainbowGenesis 9:8 - 17
God promised Noah that a deluge would never again devastate the earth. He created the rainbow as a symbol of His promise. Even though the rainbow is now a natural phenomena, it is important to remember that it had never rained prior to this event. God irrigated the planet with water from below. Before the flood, there was never an opportunity for a rainbow to appear.

Myths and Scripture
In the academic humanities and social sciences, myth is a well-established category, particularly in classics, literature, anthropology, and religion. Scripture is a generic native category used by biblically based faiths to represent themselves. Some academics extend it to other religions as well.
hermes was here
orion
Orion was a huge huntsman in Greek mythology who Zeus set among the stars as the constellation of Orion. There are two major versions of Orion's birth and multiple tales of his death, according to ancient texts. His birth in Boeotia, his visit to Chios where he met Merope and raped her, being blinded by Merope's father, regaining his sight at Lemnos, hunting with Artemis on Crete, his death by the bow of Artemis or the sting of the giant scorpion which became Scorpius, and his elevation to the heavens are the most important recorded episodes.
Jonah and the whale
The narrative of Jonah and the whale revolves around a Hebrew prophet named Jonah, whom God commissions to travel to the great city of Nineveh and preach repentance to its residents due to their wickedness. Jonah, on the other hand, denies God's assignment and attempts to flee by boarding a ship sailing in the opposite direction.
Hades, if you're reading this, I need that gold.- Poseidon
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF ORION (GREEK MYTHOLOGY) AND JONAH AND THE WHALE (SCRIPTURE)
Nisus and Scylla
The narrative of Nisus and Scylla can be found in Book VIII of Ovid's Metamorphoses, which was published around the year 8 AD. The work is divided into fifteen (15) books and is known in English as "transformations," or simply "the myth of transformations" (Volk, 2010). Nisus was killed (or committed suicide) and changed into a sea eagle. Scylla later drowned, presumably at the hands of Minos, and was transformed into a sea bird (Greek keiris, Latin ciris), possibly a heron, who was relentlessly followed by the sea eagle.
Samson and delilah
Samson was God's chosen man during the reign of the judges over Israel. He was destined from infancy to liberate Israel from the Philistines. While Samson was physically immensely strong, he was a very weak character. Among his shortcomings was a penchant for Philistine women. Delilah was one of them.

abraham and sarah
The Genesis story of Abraham and Sarah centres around the themes of descendants and the country promised by God. God tells Abraham to leave his father Terah's house and go to the land that was previously given to Canaan but which God now pledges to Abraham and his descendants.
Baucis and Philemon
The story of Baucis and Philemon, which exists on the edge of Greek and Roman mythology, is told in Ovid's moralizing fables gathered as Metamorphoses. Baucis and Philemon were an old married couple in Tyana, which Ovid placed in Phrygia, and the only ones in their town to welcome disguised gods Zeus and Hermes, representing the pious exercise of hospitality, the ritualized guest-friendship known as Xenia, or theoxenia when a god was involved.

daucalion and pyrrha
noah's ark
The story of Deucalion and Pyrrha is the Greek equivalent of Noah's ark, as told in the masterpiece of Roman poet Ovid, The Metamorphoses. The Greek version is the story of Deucalion and Pyrrha. The flood, like the stories found in the Old Testament and Gilgamesh, is a retribution meted out by the gods to humanity in the Greek version.
In the Genesis flood story, Noah's Ark is the vessel in which God saves Noah, his family, and examples of all the world's animals from a world-destroying flood. The Ark appears in the Quran as Safinat N and al-fulk, with slight modifications on the Genesis tale.

The distinction between the two flood accounts is that Noah and his entire family were chosen to survive in order for them to procreate and re-populate the planet. On the contrary, according to the story of Deucalion and Pyrrha, who repopulated the world by flinging stones. The floods in both stories were employed to punish humanity. . The two stories depict how the old planet was beautified and gave birth to a new human race.

Labors of hercules
It was a fun TIME-hERCULES
Labors of Hercules
Eurystheus had originally assigned Hercules 10 labors to accomplish, but because Eurystheus invalidated two of them, he assigned Hercules two extra labors to perform. Hercules' task in this labor was to steal apples from Hesperides' garden. Hercules toured the world in pursuit of the apples and was advised by Prometheus to ask Atlas to steal them. While Atlas snatched the fruits, Hercules held up the heavens and the earth.
In the town of Nemea, there lived an unstoppable lion who wreaked havoc and terror. Hercules was tasked with killing the lion and retrieving his skin. Hercules used raw strength and cunning valor to choke the lion and bring the skin to Eurystheus.
Slay the Namean Lion
A nine-headed serpent lurked in the swamps of Lerna, terrifying the residents. The hydra was venomous and had a single immortal head that could not be killed. Hercules and his nephew, Iolaus, set out for Lerna. Hercules was able to destroy the nine-headed hydra with the assistance of Iolaus.
Slay the Lernean Hydra
Ceryneia, a town in Greece, was home to a hind. Because this deer had golden horns and bronze hooves and was devoted to Artemis, the goddess of hunting and animals, Hercules would not kill it. Instead, Hercules spent a year hunting deer every day. Hercules took advantage of an opportunity to shoot the deer. On his way home, Hercules saw Artemis and Apollo and had to explain why he had apprehended the deer. Hercules revealed to them his service to Eurystheus. Artemis and Apollo agreed to let Hercules take the hind on the condition that he return it unharmed.
Capture the Golden Hind
Eurystheus commanded Hercules to bring him the wild boar from Erymanthos Mountain. Hercules paid a visit to his centaur friend, Pholos. Other centaurs were drawn to the cave after the two ate and drank wine. Hercules slew the centaurs with his arrows, which would be Pholos' downfall. Pholos picked up an arrow and wondered how it was so fatal until he accidently put the poisoned arrow on his foot and killed himself. Hercules found Pholos, buried him, and set out to hunt the boar. Hercules was able to drive the scared boar into the snow, where he trapped it in a net and brought it to Eurystheus.
Capture the Erymanthian Boar
Over 1,000 animals were housed in King Augeas' stable. Hercules volunteered to clean the stables in a single day in exchange for a tenth of his livestock. Hercules used his fast intellect and clever ingenuity to reroute the two main rivers, Alpheus and Peneus, in order to wash out the waste. When he went home, Eurystheus told him that his labor was in vain because he had utilized the rivers to clean their stables.
Clean the Stables of King Augeas
Eurystheus sent Hercules to drive away a large flock of birds that had congregated in the town of Stymphalos. Because the birds were vicious man-eaters, Hercules had to figure out way to properly remove the birds from town. Athena paid Hercules a visit and offered him a noisy clapper to help him chase the birds away. Hercules shot the birds as they flew away from town with his bow and arrow, while the rest flew away.
Defeat the Stymphalian Birds.
Hercules traveled to Crete, where King Minos granted Hercules permission to capture the bull. This bull was ruining the city and frightening the citizens. Hercules wrestled the bull to the ground and returned him to Eurystheus.
Capture the Cretan Bull.
Eurystheus asked Heracles to return the Mares of Diomedes to him. These mares represent the lure to excessive asceticism, which constrains life's energy and must thus be reoriented.
Bring Back the Mares of Diomedes.
When Hercules landed in the country of the Amazons, Hippolyta approached him and inquired as to why he was there. Eurystheus desired the belt for his daughter, Admete. As they approached Hercules, the tribe got fearful and outfitted in armor. Hera, dressed as an Amazon warrior, informed the tribe that Hercules was on his way to capture Hippolyte.
Obtain the Belt of Hippolyta
To collect the livestock, Hercules had to journey to the island of Erytheia. In order to find the cattle, he had to slay several beasts along the route. When he found the cattle and began the journey home, the bulls in the herd became agitated. Hercules would have to quit the herd in order to find the ones who had escaped. Hercules eventually gathered the herd and led it to Eurystheus, who sacrificed the cattle to Hera.
Obtain the Cattle of Geryon
Eurystheus had originally assigned Hercules 10 labors to accomplish, but because Eurystheus invalidated two of them, he assigned Hercules two extra labors to perform. Hercules' task in this labor was to steal apples from Hesperides' garden. Hercules toured the world in pursuit of the apples and was advised by Prometheus to ask Atlas to steal them. While Atlas snatched the fruits, Hercules held up the heavens and the earth. Atlas asked Hercules to take the fruits to Eurystheus, and Hercules complied, asking Atlas to hold the heavens and earth while he adjusted his clothes. Hercules departed and returned to Eurystheus to give the golden apples when Atlas took the heavens and earth back onto his shoulders.
Bring the Golden Apples of Hesperides
The beast, Cerberus, was to be captured as the twelfth and last assignment. Cerberus was a three-headed hound who guarded the underworld's gates to prevent the living world from entering. Hercules journeyed through a deep cave to access the underworld after realizing he couldn't enter by this door. Hercules fought several animals and monsters in the underworld until he arrived at Hades. Hercules requested permission from Hades to bring the Cerberus to the surface. Hades consented, but only if Hercules could stop the music with his bare hands and no weapons. Hercules was able to subdue the Cerberus and take him to Eurystheus, who demanded he return the Cerberus to the underworld.
Capture Cerberus
Topics related to Samson
They said I copied heracles-samson
Samson
Samson lived in the territory given to the Israelites by God. However, there were still other people that lived on the area or attacked the Israelites. During the time when Israel did not have a ruler, God used men (and one woman) named Judges to guide and protect the people.Samson was one of these judges. Despite the fact that we probably think of Samson as a bad man, God nonetheless used him to fulfill His goals. This narrative is found in Judges chapters 13-16.
According to legend, Samson is heading towards the hamlet of his future wife when a juvenile lion attacks him. The Lord's Spirit descends on him, and he cuts the lion apart with his bare hands! He was not only powerful enough to fight the lion, but he was also strong enough to tear it apart limb from limb. What a macabre scene!
A Young Lion
Samson's riddle appears in the biblical Book of Judges, where it is part of a wider story about Samson, the last of the ancient Israelites' judges. Samson confronts his thirty wedding guests with the following riddle: "Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet."
Samson's Riddle
Samson's wife was stolen from him, and his father-in-law forbade him from having her. Instead, Samson's father offered him a younger sister. The thought of a substitute did not sit well with Samson. Samson punished himself by tying 300 foxes together by their tails in pairs and lighting a torch between them. The foxes rushed through the Philistines' corn fields, destroying their crops. The Philistines retaliated against Samson by destroying his wife and her household. More at: https://www.whatchristianswanttoknow.com/samson-bible-story-summary-and-study/#ixzz7O34xB4Tg
Foxes and the Corn
Samson's 20-year rule over the Philistines began with this single-man war against the Philistines. Despite the fact that Samson did not always obey God or His purpose, God used him to govern and protect Israel. As a result, he is one of the numerous judges mentioned in the Bible by God.
Judge
Delilah is commonly assumed to have been a Philistine, despite the fact that she is not mentioned in the Bible. The name "Delilah" is a Hebrew name; yet, many foreigners in the Bible had Hebrew names, therefore Delilah's name cannot be considered conclusive proof that she was Hebrew.
Delilah
Samson's hair had been shaved and his eyes had been gouged out. He was subjected to the Philistines' grinding wheel. Samson was humiliated in public. Samson was humiliated once more in front of the prison house. He asked the young boy who was leading him out (probably like a dog on a leash) to lay his hands on the building's pillars. Despite being blinded and humiliated, or perhaps because he had finally been humbled, Samson appealed to God to let him to undertake a job on behalf of Israel once more. God gave him the strength to demolish the building. According to the Bible, Samson killed more people in his death under the debris of the building than he did in his life.

LEGENDARY PERSONAGES IN MYTHS AND HISTORY SAMPLES
ODYSSEUS
Ulysses is a Roman name. The hero of Homer's Odyssey is Odysseus. He is Ithaca's king and a famous fighter in the Trojan War, but he is best known for his decade-long journey home from the war. Odysseus overcomes the difficulties he faces by using his wits. He is the most modern and human of the classical heroes, a great talker and excellent strategist.
hercules
Another well-known Greek hero, a son of Zeus who ascends to Olympus after his death. Hercules is known for his enormous strength and valor, yet he is also lacking in wisdom and self-control. Most of his exploits begin with a terrible error that he subsequently strives to correct. The Twelve Labors of Hercules are the punishment he receives for slaying his family in a bout of craziness.
theseus
A classic Athenian hero and the son of King Aegeus of Athens. Theseus is a model citizen: a caring leader who is considerate of his friends and countrymen. However, Theseus has flaws: he abandons Ariadne and subsequently doubts his own son, which leads to his terrible demise.
Jason
One of the Greek heroes who left the most to be desired. Jason's greatest significant achievement is the gathering of a band of heroes to embark on a long-false quest to recover the Golden Fleece. When Jason arrives in Colchis to collect the Golden Fleece, the king's daughter, Medea, falls in love with him. Jason abandons her and subsequently marries a princess for political reasons. In retaliation, Medea murders Jason's new wife and her own children, whom Medea inherited from Jason. Even though he is still alive, he bears the burden of this catastrophe, which is in some ways worse than death.
Perseus
Zeus's kid with the lovely princess Dana. Dana's father, forewarned that Perseus will murder him eventually, locks the newborn and his mother in a trunk and throws it into the sea. Perseus lives, matures, and sets out to kill the monster Medusa and retrieve her head. As predicted, he kills his grandfather, albeit unintentionally, by striking him with a wayward discus.
oedipus
The king of Thebes's son. Oedipus liberates Thebes from the threat of the Sphinx and marries Jocasta, the widowed queen, unaware that she is his mother. After discovering the truth, he accepts fate and blinds himself as penance.
orestes
The protagonist of Aeschylus' trilogy of plays, The Oresteia. Orestes' father is Agamemnon, the great king who led the Greeks in the Trojan War, and his sister is the sacrificial Iphigenia. Orestes murders his mother, Clytemnestra, in order to avenge Iphigenia's death. As a result, he is plagued by the dreadful Furies until he atones for his wrongdoing.
achilles
In Greek mythology, Achilles is the son of the mortal Peleus, ruler of the Myrmidons, and the Nereid, or sea goddess, Thetis. Achilles was the most valiant, attractive, and powerful warrior in Agamemnon's army during the Trojan War. Achilles was raised by his mother in Phthia alongside his inseparable comrade Patroclus, according to Homer. Patroclus may have been Achilles' kinsman or lover, according to later non-Homeric stories.
agamemnon
Agamemnon was a Mycenean king, Helen's brother-in-law, and the commander of the Greek forces sent to Troy (to fight the Trojan War) to reclaim Helen for her Greek husband, Menelaus.
ajax
Ajax was the second-best Greek warrior during the Trojan War. When he was denied the honor of the deceased Achilles' armor, he attempted to assassinate the Greek commanders but was driven insane instead.
Hector
Hector was King Priam of Troy's son and the best Trojan warrior during the Trojan War. He assassinated Patroclus and was assassinated by Achilles.
HELEN OF TROY AND MENELAUS
Helen of Troy is famous for being the visage that launched a thousand ships, igniting the Trojan War. When Paris abducted Helen, she was married to King Menelaus of Sparta.
patroclus
Patroclus was responsible for Achilles' return to the Trojan War, first by proxy and subsequently for vengeance. While Achilles continued to refuse to fight for the Greeks, he allowed his friend Patroclus to wear his armor and command his warriors. Patroclus was killed by the Trojans, who mistook him for Achilles. Achilles returned to the battle to avenge Patroclus' death.
TROJAN HORSE
Odysseus conjured up the Trojan Horse to get the Greek forces inside the Trojan Walls. The Trojans accepted the horse as a gift, unaware that it was brimming with troops. After welcoming the gift into their city, the Trojans celebrated what they thought was the departure of the Greeks, but while they were sleeping, the Greeks spilled forth from the horse's belly and devastated Troy.
chiron
Chiron, also known as Cheiron, was a benevolent centaur who mentored heroes. Hercules murdered him by accident.
homer
The blind bard is thought to have penned one, if not both, of the Iliad and Odyssey.
paris
Paris, also known as Alexander, is a mythological prince who appears in a variety of Greek mythology. He is the son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy. The elopement with Helen, queen of Sparta, was arguably the most well-known of these appearances, and it was one of the direct reasons of the Trojan War. Later in the conflict, as predicted by Achilles' mother, Thetis, he fatally wounds Achilles in the heel with an arrow.
aeneas and rome
In Greek mythology, Aeneas was a Trojan hero who was the son of Anchises and the goddess Aphrodite. He is more prominently featured in Roman mythology, and is regarded as a forefather of Rome's founders, Remus and Romulus.
Augustus' hero was a poem whose hero represented not just the course and goal of Roman history, but also Augustus' own career and policy. Virgil portrayed the virtues of persistence, self-denial, and obedience to the gods that, according to the poet, founded Rome in Aeneas' trip from Troy westward to Sicily, Carthage, and eventually to the mouth of the Tiber in Italy.
Virgil, who lived in the first century BCE, gave the many strands of Aeneas tale the shape they have had ever since. The Aeneid, Virgil's masterpiece, is a Latin epic.
jason and the argonauts
Apollonius of Rhodes wrote the epic poem Jason and the Golden Fleece in Ancient Greece. It is also known as the Argonautica and is the sole surviving epic from the Hellenistic period in Greece. Jason, the son of Aeson and the god Hermes' grandson, embarks on a journey for the legendary Golden Fleece in order to reclaim his father's reign from his evil uncle Pelias. Jason journeys to numerous islands with a group of demigods and monarchs, braving monsters, storms, and other challenges in his quest for the Golden Fleece, which no one has ever been able to retrieve.
In Greek mythology, the Argonauts were a group of 50 warriors who sailed from Thessaly, where their captain, Jason, was the rightful king of Iolcus. The Argonauts accompanied Jason to Colchis in his search for the Golden Fleece years before the Trojan War.
attica
A peninsula that juts out into the Aegean Sea in a triangle shape. It is naturally divided from Boeotia to the north by the Cithaeron and Parnes mountain ranges, which are 10 miles (16 kilometers) long. The Greek mainland narrows into Megaris to the west of Eleusis, connecting to the Peloponnese at the Isthmus of Corinth.
theseus
Theseus is a Greek mythological hero who was regarded as an early ruler of Athens. His most famous adventure was the slaughter of the terrible Minotaur of the Cretan ruler Minos. He was famous for murdering villains, Amazons, and centaurs.
THE MARATHONIAN BULL
Now, the Marathonian Bull is actually the same bull Heracles managed to capture for his seventh labor. Formerly known as the Cretan Bull, the creature was either set free by Heracles or escaped from Tiryns by itself. After traversing the Isthmus of Corinth, it arrived at Marathon and bothered its inhabitants for years before Theseus finally managed to master it. After showing it to Aegeus and Medea, Theseus killed the Bull and sacrificed it to Apollo
foreshadowing of a hero
The night Theseus was conceived, his mother Aethra slept with Aegeus, the king of Athens, and Poseidon, the god of the sea. Whoever his father had been, Theseus’ exceptional parentage was evident even in his early years. Soon after Theseus reached adulthood, Aethra sent him to Athens.
THESEUS IN TROEZEN
ARIADNE AND THE MINOTAUR
Soon after Theseus’ return to Athens, it was due for Aegeus to pay the third yearly tribute to Minos, the king of Crete. Namely, in recompense for the death of Minos’ son, Androgeus – once savagely killed by the Athenians out of jealousy and envy – Athens obliged to regularly send fourteen of its noblest young men and women to Crete, where each of them was destined to meet the same end: to be thrown into Daedalus’ Labyrinth and be devoured by the monstrous half-man half-bull Minotaur
Always in pursuit for fame and glory – and now deeply despaired over the gruesome fate awaiting the innocent young Athenians – Theseus resolved to do something about this. When the time came for Theseus to enter the Labyrinth, Ariadne gave him a ball of thread (provided by Daedalus) that was supposed to help him navigate himself inside the structure and guide him safely out of it. As beastly as he was, the Minotaur was no match for Theseus' strength and determination: after a brief fight, the Athenian killed the monster and followed the thread back to safety.
THESEUS IN CRETE
a broken promise
Before setting off for Crete, Theseus had promised his father that, if he survived the Minotaur, he would change his ship’s black sail to a white one. Thus, Aegeus would be able to discern from some distance whether his son was still alive. Unfortunately, he either forgot his promise altogether or was too distraught to make the change on time. Watching from a vantage point, Aegeus couldn’t bear the sight he had most dreaded to see, so he hurled himself to his death straight away.
theseus and ariadne
After the brief marital ceremony, Theseus took Ariadne with him and, together with the other young Athenians, left Crete. As soon as his ships reached the island of Dia (later called Naxos), Theseus sailed away. Some say that he did this because he had fallen in love with another girl in the meantime (Panopeus' daughter Aegle) or because he was forced to obey the will of Dionysus. The latter claim that the god arrived on the island just moments after Theseus had left it.
THESEUS IN CRETE
theseus and perithous
A few years later, the two companions attempted a similar raid in the Underworld, but the abduction of Hades' wife, Persephone, didn't go as planned, and instead of fleeing with Persephone, Theseus and Pirithous remained bound on two enchanted seats, immobile. On his way to catch Cerberus, Heracles noticed and recognized the heroes; while he was able to save Theseus with great effort, the earth trembled when he attempted to do the same with Pirithous; as a result, Heracles had no choice but to abandon Pirithous to the Underworld forever.
unification of attica
Theseus was now the king of Athens – and what a king he was! The list of his achievements is rather lengthy, but most authors agree that the greatest among them was the successful political unification (synoikismos) of Attica under Athens. In addition, Theseus is credited with instituting the festival of the Panathenaea and the Isthmian Games.
ship of theseus(fun fact)
In the metaphysics of identity, the ship of Theseus is a thought experiment that raises the question of whether an object that has had all of its components replaced remains fundamentally the same object. The concept is one of the oldest in Western philosophy, having been discussed by the likes of Heraclitus and Plato by c. 500–400 BC. One common example of this thought experiment is from the last episode of Wandavision, where two Vision – instead of battling physically – resolves their conflict by using the Ship of Theseus. Wanda’s Vision aims to stop White Vision by questioning his objective to destroy the Vision, using the thought experiment to prove that White Vision would destroy himself if he would go on with his directive. Below is the link to watch the debate between the two AI robots.
death of theseus
Once freed from the Underworld, Theseus hurried back to Athens only to find out that the city now had a new ruler: Menestheus. He fled right away for refuge to Lycomedes, the king of the island of Scyros. A tragic mistake, since Lycomedes was a supporter of Menestheus! After a few days of feigned hospitality, Lycomedes took the unsuspecting Theseus on a tour of the island; the second they reached its highest cliff, he violently pushed Theseus to his death.
ship of theseusfun fact (cont.)
After watching the debate between the two, choose a side from below and explain your thoughts why you came to a conclusion: White Vision: The Ship of Theseus is an artifact in a museum. Over time its plank of wood rot are replaced with new planks. When no original plank remains, is it still the ship of Theseus? Vision: If those removed planks are restored and reassembled, free of the rot, is that the ship of Theseus?
the fall of troy
The Fall of Troy occurs when the Greeks decide that their army is too powerful to overcome the City of Troy. The Greeks decide that the only way to beat the Trojans is to get their army inside Troy.

the mighty five
return of the greeks
The Trojan War was decided through a combination of ingenuity and a stroke of luck. Instead of believing their own priest, Laocoon, the Trojans chose to accept as true the testimony of a Greek traitor named Sinon, and this resulted in them mistaking Odysseus' shrewd stratagem, the Trojan Horse, for a divine gift. During the sack of Troy, the Greeks killed every member of the Trojan royal family and took with them almost every Trojan princess. Most of those who did return to Greece met their ends in ways unfitting for legendary warriors.

The rest of the heroes
Many of the Greek heroes who sacked Troy never reached Greece again, dying in a great storm sent by Poseidon at Cape Kafireas; of those who did, few more bear at least a passing mention.
Calchas
Demophon
Teucer
Philoctetes
Nestor
Hippolyta and the amazons
Hippolyta, the strongest and wisest of the Amazons, was their leader. Ares, the God of War, was a descendant of the Amazons. They were well-renowned for their bravery, strength, and pride, even beyond the known world's boundaries at the time.
Ninth Labor of Hercules
Heracles' ninth labor carried him to the country of the Amazons, where he had to retrieve the queen's belt for Eurystheus' daughter. The Amazons were a warrior women's race, superb archers who had invented the technique of horseback combat.
theseus and the conflict of the amazons & the athenians
The Amazons accuse the Defendant (Theseus) of kidnapping them. Theseus allegedly kidnapped Hippolyta, the queen of the warrior women, and forced her to marry him. The Amazons seized control of the law and waged war against Theseus and Athens.

Circumstances surrounding Noah's ArkGenesis 6:1 - 8
Noah's arkStory Tower
According to the Bible, Noah's time was a horrible time. God recognized that man's bad ideas were leading him away from God. The times were so bad that God declared that He would wipe man from the face of the planet. But suddenly God remembered Noah. God knew Noah might be used to preach repentance to the people and build an ark (a big ship) to save those who would trust God since Noah loved God and tried to obey Him. The Bible reads in Genesis 6:8 that Noah found grace in the eyes of God.
Noah's FamilyGenesis 6:9 - 13
Noah's arkStory Tower
Noah and his wife had three sons and three daughters-in-law. They were a family of eight, including his wife. At the end of the novel, we learn that these eight people are the only ones who were saved and were summoned to replenish the earth. Shem, Ham, and Japheth were Noah's three sons.
Instructions for the ArkGenesis 6:14 - 7:6
Noah's arkStory Tower
God told Noah to build a big boat that He would use to save life on Earth. The animals were brought to Noah by God. The pure animals would enter the ark in groups of seven (Genesis 7:2), while the unclean animals would enter in pairs (Genesis 6:20). God explained the structure of the boat. He specified the type of wood to be used and the size of the ark. This was supplied as a unit of measurement known as a "cubit," which is approximately 18" (45 cm) in length. That suggests the ark was around 450 feet (135 meters) long and 45 feet broad (22.5 meters). The ark stood 45 feet (13.5 meters) tall and was divided into three tiers.
The FloodGenesis 7:7 - 24
Noah's arkStory Tower
We don't know how long Noah spent building the ark, but by piecing together some of the ages and dates given between Genesis 5 and Genesis 11, it appears that Noah constructed the ark and preached for at least 55 years and possibly as many as 120 years before the deluge. The popular number of 120 years is derived from Genesis 6:3, where God says that man's days will be 120 years. When he entered the ark, he was 600 years old. Noah and his family were the only ones that boarded the ark because no one else did. They waited in the ark for seven days before the flood. It rained actively for 40 days, according to Genesis 7:12 and 17. The earth was submerged for 150 days, or nearly six months.
After the FloodGenesis 8
The ark landed on Mount Ararat after 150 days at sea. Noah released a raven, which flew away and returned repeatedly until the floods receded. The first time he released a dove, which he did three times, it had nowhere to rest. He dispatched the dove again seven days later, but this time it returned with an olive branch. Because there was evidence of vegetation and dry earth, Noah knew it was time to leave. The floodwaters began to decrease as the floodwaters came to a halt.
The RainbowGenesis 9:8 - 17
God promised Noah that a deluge would never again devastate the earth. He created the rainbow as a symbol of His promise. Even though the rainbow is now a natural phenomena, it is important to remember that it had never rained prior to this event. God irrigated the planet with water from below. Before the flood, there was never an opportunity for a rainbow to appear.
