Herod Antipas and Salome
Salome talks about that on the terrace of Herod’s palace, people are staring at and talking about the Salome who is the daughter of the queen, Herodias. Salome finds many people are talking about her and she leaves the feast for the outside. Salome talks to the prophet, Iokanaan, and Salome says she will kiss Iokanaan’s mouth. The King, Herod and the Queen, Herodias go to find Salome. When they find Salome, Herod commands Salome to dance for him and he will give everything Salome wants to her. Salome chooses Iokanaan’s head to exchange to dance with Herod. Herod gives Salome Iokanaan’s head, and then Salome kisses Iokanaan’s head. Finally Herod commands to kill Salome. In Salome, an illustration named The Climax on page 66 well illustrates the play. This illustration shows that Salome loves Iokanaan so much that she does not care what will happen to her, it also indicates that Salome is a wild and impulsive woman. This illustration has four images that illustrates different scene in the play. The first image is that Salome is holding Iokanaan’s head, and Iokanaan’s head is bleeding. The second image is that many circles are growing behind the image of Salome. The third image is that the total black part with flower and plant roots. The fourth image is that there are many lines that try to cover up other images. In the first image, Salome’s face is looked pale but happy, and her hair makes her look like she becomes monstrous. Herod tries to please Salome by asking her to drink wine and eat fruits with him. Salome refuses him directly but it does not stop Herod pleasing and seducing Salome.
HEROD: …Salome, come drink a little wine with me…
SALOME: I am not thirsty, Tetrarch.
…
HEROD: … Salome, come and eat fruits with me… SALOME: I am not hungry, Tetrarch. (Line 1-16, p 32)
Salome does not want to do anything with Herod, but she decides to dance for him because Herod swears he will give anything Salome wants to her. SALOME: I am ready, Tetrarch.

    Using herself and her children (Son, Kell and Daughter, Arella) as the focal point of the painting, it captures a maternal, motherhood like feeling by adding abstract line contours and detail to the painting setting off a free motion throughout the composition. The texture and tone used for the figures are soft, light and pale. Detailed patterns and abstract line work are used in the foreground to emphasize the figures.…

    Salome Review

    “Salomé” by Lourdes Ortiz is a rewritten biblical story of John the Baptist’s martyrdom, which focuses on the daughter of Herodias, Salome. In this story, Salome is given a subjective position. John’s pure, firm eyes, different from all others that Salome used to see, causing her crazy fascination with John the Baptist. However, John spurned her affection, which converted Salome’s desperate love into crazy desire of possessiveness. Thus, the pathetic character is figured with an extreme narcissistic subjectivity.…

    Paris in Not a Hero

    Paris in Not a Hero

    In Eth Clifford's Greek myth "Paris and the Golden Apple", the character of Paris does not demonstrate the qualities of a hero. A hero is someone that shows loyalty, respect and is very courageous. In this Greek myth, Paris does not represent a hero when he does not show his love for Oenone when he gratefully leaves her to go seek out the most beautiful woman in all the world. Once Paris gives Aphrodite the golden apple claiming her to be the most beautiful among the three, Paris shouts "I am tired of living a shepherd's life. It is time for me to see more of the world. I shall go to Sparta as Aphrodite directs." (213). Paris is stating that no matter what Oenone says he has made up his mind to leave her and go to Sparta. The true meaning of loyalty would be Paris staying in Mount Ida to be with the one he truly loves rather than leave her and risk all that he has. In the following quote, Paris shows no heroic actions because he is not being loyal to Oenone. He willingly leaves her to follow Aphrodite and he does this with no regret. Another reason making me believe Paris is not a hero is he shows much greed when arriving in Sparta. while in Sparta, Paris tries to take Helen away from Menelaus . This makes Paris a non hero because a hero would be someone who would stay true to himself and not try to hurt other people for no reason at all. "Leave Menelaus and come with me"(213) Paris says. In this quote Paris is trying to get Helen to leave Menelaus and to go away with him. He shows no regard for Helen and Menelaus knowing that they are truly in love with each other. This is showing that Paris does not care about anyone besides himself and he will only do what he thinks is best for him. These characteristics demonstrate that Paris is in fact not a hero. All the qualities he portrays go against what is said to be a true hero. Therefore, Paris is not a hero in the Greek myth, "Paris and the Golden…
