Hymn to Demeter speaks volumes about marriage in Greek society‚ from several points of view‚ including the mother‚ the daughter‚ and the husband‚ as well as the bystander. The hymn starts with the abduction of Persephone by Hades‚ to which Demeter is angry and “in rage at the dark-clouded son of Cronus” and travels to the earth to find a sort of replacement to sooth her broken heart (Hymn to Demeter 85). She then stays with a family who sees her heavy grief‚ “her heart tormented with sorrow‚” and

Late Classical Period (Dionysus and Pan) Based on the visual observations and analysis conducted on paper assignment one‚ I would classify the sculpture‚ Dionysus and Pan‚ under the Late Classical period.

It is sculpted from the finest marble which was created in the Roman period A.D. 50-150. Artists from this period of time drew a lot of attention to the statues’ expression of emotion

Demeter is the Greek goddess of grain and agriculture. Her daughter Persephone was kidnapped and taken to Hades with permission from Zeus. Demeter was worshiped through celebrations in hopes of bringing vegetation growth‚ especially as famine spread throughout Greece. I enjoy seeing the various areas each God looks over; the possibilities seem never ending. As Athens grew it could no longer feed its people and in return took over Eleusis‚ which is also the city that host Demeter’s shrine/temple

After re-reading the Homeric Hymn to Dionysus‚ in my opinion I believe there are more differences than there are similarities. The similarities that the Exekias Dionysus Cup picture has related to the book is: 1) There are vines growing on the ship and grape clusters‚ which are written in the book on lines thirty-eight and thirty-nine. 2) When Dionysus turns the pirates into dolphins‚ as seen on the cup‚ as well as written on line fifty-three. 3) Dionysus‚ who is on the boat in the book and the

goddess of astuteness‚ enveloping tricky insight‚ she gets regard and a position of power both on and off Olympus paying little respect to her sexual orientation. This is correspondingly found in the character Dionysus‚ the child of the god Zeus and the mortal lady‚ Semele. While Dionysus is a male god‚ the mortal structure he takes is said to be to a great degree womanly in The Bacchae by Euripides. "Well! You are very good looking‚ stranger‚ for ladies’ taste—and that is the thing that conveys

The chosen art piece‚ from Roman origin‚ is titled “Dionysus” and portrayed Dionysus‚ the god of wine‚ with his follower Pan. This artwork is a great example of Greek art’s influence in Roman artwork. The main elements of Greek’s naturalistic art‚ specifically of High Classical period‚ are rendered beautifully in this piece combined with distinctive elements from verism‚ unique to Roman art. So‚ the idealism of Greek art and the individualism of Roman art come together to create an art piece that

Apollo and Dionysus In Greek Mythology a rivalry always occurs between certain Gods and Goddesses. In the case of Apollo and Dionysus there is no exception. They are half brothers‚ both sons of Zues and they compete just as most brothers do. Though the two Greek Gods‚ Apollo and Dionysus‚ were actually very similar in some ways‚ they severely contrasted in others.

Pentheus and Dionysus different? In what ways are they similar? Pentheous and Dionysus are first cousins who remain different because one is a god and the other mortal. Pentheous is the headstrong mortal king of Thebes who uses strength and power and acts as a moral opposite the Dionysus who otherwise uses his ability to offer pleasure to his loyal followers.
