    Marcus Aurelius was born on April 20, 121 AD into a family of royalty. His uncle and adoptive father, Antoninus Pius, was the emperor of Rome. Aurelius, too, was trained from birth to be a great ruler like his father. At age eleven, he dedicated himself to religion, although he considered philosophy to be the "true, inward" religion, one which did not require ceremonies necessary in others. He was appointed by Emperor Hadrian to priesthood in 129. The Emperor also supervised his education, which was with the best professors of literature and philosophy of the time. From his early twenties, he deserted his other studies for philosophy. In 161, Marcus Aurelius ascended the throne and shared his imperial power with his adopted brother Lucius…

    I agree with what your saying, I think Socrates understood what everything he was asking Euthyphro about the gods and what they believed in and didn't believe in. When Euthyphro told him that somethings are right by god and wrong by other gods which makes action that people were doing maybe holy/sinful. Socrates wanted to make Euthyphro stop moving fast and slow down and actually think about what he was saying because turning in his father maybe both wrong/right by the gods he was just making his self believe it was the right…

    The main victims of these persecutions were those that publicly refused to sacrifice, or voluntarily presented themselves as Christians. Most people would be imprisoned and put on trial where the judge would issue the sentence. Ranging from a simple dismissal of the case to a very rare edict of the death penalty, most Christians were subjected to torture and longer periods of imprisonment in order to persuade them to dismiss their Christian beliefs. The author Eusebius quotes a letter from Dionysius of Alexandria to the Bishop of Antioch, Fabius, which describes the scene of the persecutions in Alexandria. Dionysius explains that all of the Christians were afraid and most of which came forward and dismissed their Christian beliefs, participating in sacrifice and creating false documentations. Those that did not come forward and relinquished their previous beliefs either fled, were captured, imprisoned and put on trial, or tortured. Cyprian, a bishop from Carthage, fled Carthage…

    The play Pericles, Prince of Tyre is arguably one of Shakespeare's best plays. In this play Shakespeare displays two informative underlying themes. One of the themes that Shakespeare is trying to portray in this play is what goes around, comes around, and in the end good always triumphs over evil. Shakespeare also displays a belief in Gods, and how they control fate in peoples' lives. This theme represents loyalty. If you are true to yourself, worship the Gods, they will oversee your life, and bless it with gifts. The gods play a major part in the play Pericles, Prince of Tyre. They used good people, pirates, and coincidental events to reward Pericles in the end for overcoming adversity. Also the gods use the same method to punish the people…

    Hephaestus’ birth is a significant part of his identity and traits, and although the details vary from source to source, there are some key elements that carry through. In some stories it is said that Hera and Zeus were the parents of Hephaestus; others say that Hera gave birth to him without a father to get revenge for Zeus fathering Athena (Hamilton 32). He was born extremely misshapen — some stories say he was also lame at birth (Kirkwood 47) — and Hera was ashamed to have given birth to such an ugly child. Because of this, she threw him off of Mount Olympus and into the sea below (Cavendish 1177). Where some say he was born lame (Kirkwood 47), others state that he broke his leg(s) in his fall from Mount Olympus (Graves 15). Once he landed…

    Ancient Rome is recognized as being the forefront of technological innovations and efficiency improvement. The Pont du Gard aqueduct is no less than an impressive engineering feat, stretching for miles to deliver water to town centers. Roman architectural features, such as arches and domes, still remain a prominent presence in modern architecture, proving just how timeless, and more importantly, functional these inventions are. However, one notable difference between the two societies is that unlike Ancient Rome's approach to technological adoption through the appropriation of foreign territories, the United States gained its technological edge through development and research. From the invention of electricity and automobiles to computers,…

    The way the Romans tried to connect to the Greek heritage was through creating an epic story of their own, like the Iliad and the Odyssey. The epic story created for the Romans by Virgil was called “The Aeneid”, where the Romans origins and their fake history began. Just like in the Iliad and the Odyssey, there was a hero, obstacles, and a victory in the end. The Aeneid tied the Romans to the same gods the greeks worshiped and it was where the greeks believed they also sprouted from. Virgil created Aeneas who was part of one of the Greek stories, the Iliad, and made it seem like the Roman’s ancestors were the Trojans, which leads to the Romans being part of the Greek family and they shared the Greek heritage. Although the Aeneid was very…
