Incidents In Mythology Reaction Essay

Judgement of Paris:

For me, if being able to have something that helps me. This is something that I would do to live happily. And to have it be a person is something to really think about.

But in this situation, it is choosing among three incredible women as your lover. This is rather somewhat difficult cause you have to choose one and all of them are beautiful. However, Paris chose Aphrodite. Although she proclaims to bestow Helene as his wife. Thus leading to the Trojan War. But above all, it is important to know the traits and characteristics of the women. But most importantly they're understanding towards people and you being able to understand yourself when you're with her. Meaning it is meaningless if the person you pick does not love you for a reason. But what is the reason? Is that they must love you for who you really are, and if you show your true self is being selfish then that will not happen.

Thus this incident means choosing a women beautiful woman to be your partner, starts by seeing her true self and her incited knowledge of the world. As well showing who you really are as a person to one another helps you understand more about each other. Thus picking the right person for your wife to love and care about.

Japanese Creation:

In this creation story, two deities Izanami and Izanagi were asked by the god who sent them to form a land out of the water. After forming this land the two decided to get married as a result Izanami gave birth to many gods and deities. Further into the story, Izanagi performed a ritual of purification to cleanse the bad curse on him thus these created the three main gods, Amaterasu-omi-Kami, goddess of the sun, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, goddess of the moon, and Susanoo-no-Mikoto, god of the sea and storms. Thus the three were called "The Three Precious Children".

With this, I have understood a lot about god's creation and that about Japan's beliefs. Because they believed that keeping the surroundings clean was a sign of praising their gods as they believed that gods are living all around. This really makes me love Japan more, as it is definitely a wonderful place to visit. Thus it is amazing that so many gods were born. Very fascinating, and complex to know all the god's names.

Iliad:

In book 11 of the Iliad, one day Zeus rained blood upon the Achaean line. Thus filling them in panic, and suffered a massacre. During the late afternoon, Hector led an assault on a part of the Achaean line, but the Greeks were able to hold him off.  However, they went into a panic when they saw the healer Machaon receive wounds from Paris's hands. But when Patroclus persuaded Achilles to rejoin the battle, his terrifying aura was feared. Thus the battle shifted.

This shows the great use of strategy and knowledge, as Zeus rains his blood upon the Achaeans knowing it will fear them. Also amid need, Achilles' aura was so terrifying that the Trojans retreated. This has given us insight. That with wisdom and knowledge, we can change the course of conflict.

Odyssey:

During his 10-year struggle to return home to Ithaca after the Trojan War, Odysseus battled mythical creatures and gods. This is due to Odysseus wanting to prove his identity to the suitors who have mocked him. His wife Penelope and son Telemachus have waited for his return along with the suitors. Thus proving himself Odysseus slaughtered the suitors as proof of his win in the contest and reclaimed the throne of Ithaca.

This shows Odysseus' perseverance and will to continue on this path to prove and to find his place in the world. Thus revealing his identity to the suitors to where he belongs. Who had doubted him? As well we can do the same as he did, as long as we have perseverance and the will to strive for what we aim for we can truly see who we really are, and our role in life. But most importantly understanding and opening up to our real self.

Trojan War Argumentative Essay

From what I have understood, the story had a complex way of choosing what was right. Paris chose to pick the feeling of love and not the strength and logic they possess. This teaches us that we must trust our knowledge and wisdom at times, and not just our feelings. Cause in truth, being able to think and analyze the situation before choosing. And this can always solve a problem more than any other.

This was a Greek story that goes back a long time ago by Homer. As it said in the Wikipedia. However, it is not really stated if it is true or not. Many archeologists have researched if it is real or not. Thus the German archeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered a sitting on where it might have happened. And was called "Hisarik". However, it is not yet sure if it is real. And up until now they still search every area in Greece to find out if it is true. But as it is shown it is truly seen as a genuinely real story.

Therefore I conclude, that it is always right to use your wisdom of knowledge rather than your feelings. As it stands Paris and Helen had fallen in love with one another. But they chose their love blindly not thinking about what might happen. This is a true definition of love is blind. And as logic can comprehend anything.

Trojan War

TROJAN WAR SUMMARY

AND LEARNINGS

In the war, we learn how to adapt to any situation. Or rather the problems we face have an answer. No matter what is the challenge it does not mean it can not be solved through logic and wisdom. Cause anything can be solved in any way. As long as we put our mind to it our knowledge can really help us in terms of what we come across in our life.

It is tough to know if the war really happened or not. But what I know is that it is based on religion. In Greek Mythology, and began when the Greeks went to war with the people of Troy. Thus for nine years, the Greeks had ravaged the surrounding cities and countryside. Thus in the end the war constituted the main part of the Iliad of Homer.

Thus I conclude that conflicts always have a solution. It can't be solved by force. But through wisdom and knowledge of a person. Being able to solve a conflict without the need to fight is amazing and the right thing. That is also why there are politicians, who solve the problems of the people not by fighting. but by their knowledge to make the right solution.
