'Iphonious Revealed In The Virgin Queen'
Love can be the greatest prize or the greatest loss that no god should massively interfere with. The gods should only deliver messages, not alter any events. A man by the name of Iphonious, Telemachus’ son, instantly falls in love with the sea nymph Ceria who equally fell in love him. Athena placed a curse on Ceria for calling herself as, if not more beautiful than the goddess. The beautiful Ceria now finds herself not capable of love, for whoever falls for her would end up dead. Iphonious meets the river nymph who informs him of an herb that could keep him from harm. She tells him that f he longs to be with Ceria, he can no longer rule Ithaca. Verizo Iphonios’ crew tries their best to keep the two lovers apart, but if Iphonious decides to be with Ceria, he will no longer be in line to control Ithaca. I, The Virgin Queen, believe …show more content…
There are many women out there, not just Ceria. Iphonious should go back to Ithaca and become the ruler. There, he find a woman if he desires. Together, Orion and I hunted as companions and grew closer. Orion even wanted to marry me at one point. I understand the special connection Iphonious and Ceria feel for each other, but Iphonious needs to realize that there are other women in the world. Ceria is most definitely not Iphonious’ only shot at being in love.
The gods should not intervene with the love between Iphonious and Ceria because there will be repercussions of their actions. It is better to let Hermes tell Ceria about Iphonious’ decision and then leave it alone. Iphonious will carry on the family throne by becoming king. Iphonious is best to leave Ceria because his love with her has already become too chaotic to carry on with. Ceria is not the only girl Iphonious will ever meet! There are plenty of women out there for Iphonious to share a life with. When dealing as something so powerful as love, it is best for Iphonious to leave Ceria and become ruler of

    An Example Of Loyalty In Homer's Odyssey

    There are many examples of loyalty in the epic, but not all can be said for lack of time. Two other examples of faithfulness is by the suitors and Penelope herself. The suitors remain faithful to each other and to their plan to attempt to kill Telemachus. Although their plan fails, they still were true to it. Penelope is an example of a true faithful wife. Not believing that her husband is dead, she refuses to marry another. She states on page 21, “…It breaks my sorrowful heart and reminds me of my lost husband, whom I mourn ever without ceasing…” The key word in that passage is lost; she believes that her husband is not dead but lost. Loyally she waits his return, all the while mourning the lost hero. Although marrying one of these men would…

    The Greek Idea Of Community In Homer's Odyssey

    Citizens of Ithaca greet their guest and provide them food and place to stay. This idea is however misused by suitors who come in Ithaca after few years. They bring sheep’s and goats to Ithaca and greet the queen by giving gifts to her. They do not leave Ithaca until Penelope doesn’t choose one of the suitors and marry. Suitors violate the idea of guest host relationship by seducing women’s and drinking liquor in Ithaca. The community of Ithaca could not take any decision until the king returns and were not able to throw the suitors from Ithaca. Suitors also ordered Eurycleia to serve them every time to make food for them. Eurcyleia does complain to the Queen about their behavior but she ignores…

    Heroic Qualities In The Odyssey

    A hero would not be thought of today as thinking of people as less than them. This shows the hubris of Odysseus, another detrimental feature of the King of Ithaca. His ego and pride are a huge flaw in his character which often can also lead to the death of his friends. On the island of the cyclops he would not leave the cave of Polyphemus even though it looked dangerous until he “saw him, saw what gifts he’d give” (Book 9, line 260) and even though it appropriate to arrogantly “set our hands on the cheeses” and “eat the bulk ourselves and [settle] down inside” (Book 9, line 260). This excessive entitlement leads to many of Odysseus’ men being slaughtered by the giant when even a soldier of Odysseus’ had suggested they take the food and leave rather than risking being killed, which Odysseus ignores. Another flaw of Odysseus is his infidelity to Penelope. While she waits loyally for Odysseus to come back he sleeps around with both Circe and Calypso. He makes it sound like he was forced to sleep with Calypso “since the nymph no longer pleased” (Book 5, line 170) but it is in fact shown that he at some time wanted to based on…

    Femininity In Odysseus

    Temptresses use their feminine charms to reveal Odysseus’s promiscuous acts as well as his hubris. Calypso, a temptress in the epic, is a nymph who is “imprisoned” on the secluded, beautiful island, Ogygia. In Book IV, Odysseus is washed ashore on Ogygia and is there for seven years, continuously being tempted by Calypso. “True enough,/ Calypso the lustrous goddess tried to hold me back,/ deep in her arching caverns, craving me for a husband”(Homer IX. 33-36). Calypso’s attempts to make Odysseus her husband are in vain, but she manages to expose Odysseus’s immoral behavior demonstrating that he is susceptible to her feminine charms. During his stay on Ogygia, he displays these human-like tendencies and weaknesses: “Though he fought…

    The Greek Gods In Homer's The Odyssey

    Calypso is one of the first Gods is mentioned in The Odyssey. Though she is in love with Odysseus, she lets him go and even aids him in his departure. She regrettably bids him farewell and explains how she will help, by saying “I at last will freely let you go… I will supply you with bread, water, and ruddy wine… and will send a wind to follow” (48). In this moment, Calypso shows that she cares about Odysseus’s feelings above her own. Her desire is for him to stay, while his is to leave. She knows this, and from the pureness of her heart, puts his feelings before hers. Proving that the Greek Gods were thought to be of pure heart.…

    Women In The Aeneid

    For example, Dido sets herself as Aeneas’s first obstacle in his journey to Rome, setting aside Juno with her indirect interferences. Although infatuated by Venus’s spell, in Book 6, Dido’s cold and fiery response to Aeneas in the underworld suggests that she is holding grudge against Aeneas due to his departure, which indicates that her love toward Aeneas partially comes out of her own will. Moreover, since Sychaeus recently passed away, Dido’s love demonstrates women’s unfaithfulness in marriage and to men. While representing disloyalty, Dido also attempt to prevent Aeneas from traveling to Rome by using love as a binding. Furthermore, in the poem, Helen and Lavinia are treated as objects, where Helen is the cost of the Trojan War and Lavinia is the prize to the victor of the Italian-Trojan War. In Book 12, before Turnus sets off to the battlefield, he proclaims, “the war will be decided by our blood; the bride Lavinia will be won upon that field.” (The Aeneid, 12.107-109) Through this quote, it is apparent that Turnus treats Lavinia as if she’s a prize, an object, that lacks her own free will; Turnus’s action further demotes the relationship between men and women in the eyes of Romans. Moreover, Lavinia being the prize to the war disorient the purpose to the war and causes Turnus to act irrationally and out of his passion for Lavinia. On top of that, in…

    Critical Analysis of Porphyria's Lover

    Robert Browning wrote “Porphyria’s Lover” in the 1830s. The speaker is Porphyria’s lover and he speaks in a very solemn tone. The poem never divulges the two characters’ real names. The mood is grim and despondent throughout the whole poem. The speaker in the poem shows through many ways that Porphyria yearned for her death, through the spontaneity of her murder, his solemn demeanor, her sickly symptoms, and the smile that was on her face when she was killed.…
