home greek Greek Mythology The sources for ancient Greek myth are myriad. Indeed, references to myth range from those written by contemporary Greek historians and authors; to poems composed in honor of the gods and goddesses; to plays (comedies, tragedies, and so-called satyr plays) meant to dramatize man's relationships with the divine (and sometimes man's aspirations to be divine...); to works of art created to represent a particular deity, hero, or mythical creature. Truly, to compile a complete list of ancient sources is far beyond the resources of most individuals. However, the alternative is probably more useful, in that a description of the major characters of Greek myth has the distinction of being accessible.

The Olympians The Olympians are a group of 12 gods who ruled after the overthow of the Titans . All the Olympians are related in some way. They are named after their dwelling place Mount Olympus Zeus Poseidon Hades ... Hephaestus Zeus Zeus overthew his Father Cronus . He then drew lots with his brothers Poseidon and Hades . Zeus won the draw and became the supreme ruler of the gods. He is lord of the sky, the rain god. His weapon is a thunderbolt which he hurls at those who displease him. He is married to Hera but, is famous for his many affairs . He is also known to punish those that lie or break oaths. Poseidon Poseidon is the brother of Zeus . After the overthow of their Father Cronus he drew lots with Zeus and Hades , another brother, for shares of the world. His prize was to become lord of the sea. He was widely worshiped by seamen. He married Amphitrite , a granddaughter of the Titon Oceanus At one point he desired Demeter . To put him off Demeter asked him to make the most beautiful animal that the world had ever seen. So to impress her Poseidon created the first horse. In some accounts his first attempts were unsucessful and created a varity of other animals in his quest. By the time the horse was created his passion for Demeter had cooled. His weapon is a trident, which can shake the earth, and shatter any object. He is second only to Zeus in power amongst the gods. He has a difficult quarrelsome personality. He was greedy. He had a series of disputes with other gods when he tried to take over their cities.

7. Faithful Friend and Doting Lover The strictures against an uncritical acceptance of the superficial conventionalism and innocence of the beautiful boy motif apply with equal force against an uncritical acceptance of the superficial and "purely virtuous" themes of the Renaissance friendship tradition. Nearly every praise of friendship in Renaissance literature, be it trite and stale or genuinely moving, allots a line or two for an allusion to the friendship of Achilles and Patroclus. Yet in the view of Shakespeare himself, the relationship between these two men was that between a bugger and his catamite. Thersites says to Patroclus in Troilus and Cressida , "Thou are thought to be Achilles' male varlet." Patroclus queries, "Male varlet, you rogue! What's that?" and Thersites answers, "Why, his masculine whore." The Renaissance friendship tradition two sharply differentiated philosophical sources - in Plato and Aristotle - and a number of contributing . The dullest and most often repeated cliché in friendship literature is the "catalogue of famous friends" that originates in the eighth fragment of Bion, in which he praises the men who have found mutual love: Achilles & Patroclus, Orestes & Pylades, and Theseus & Pirithous. Marsilio Ficino in his Commentary on Plato's

20. Brave Women Warriors Of Greek Myth: An Amazon Roster Brief summary of Amazon myths, listing of Amazon warriors. Part of Xena fan site. http://whoosh.org/issue12/ruffel3.html

B RAVE W OMEN W ARRIORS OF G REEK M YTH: A N A MAZON R OSTER IAXS Research Project No. 326 By Julie Ruffell 2513 words Author's Note: Although Amazons have spread through many cultures, they originated from Greek myth. Xena also was inspired from the Greek world, so due to that, the following Amazons discussed are only from Greek myth. I also refer to Hercules as Herakles, because Herakles was his Greek name. Graphic Editor's Note: While looking for pictures that would best illustrate this particular article, I found a very interesting site dedicated to serious scholastic study of Amazons. The pictures used in this article are by kind permission of Mag. Gerhard Poellauer, and readers are invited to visit her site at: [ Mysteries of Ancient History and Archaeology INTRODUCTION THE AMAZONS: A LISTING AMAZONS AS PART OF OUR CULTURE Brave Women Warriors Of Greek Myth: An Amazon Roster Amazon rider. INTRODUCTION The word Amazon is of unknown origin, however a folk etymology popped up which explained the word as being a deriviative of the preface "a-", meaning "without", followed by "mazos", meaning "breast". This folk etymology was supported by the folktale that Amazons cut off one breast to facilitate archery. However, this is most likely a story designed to discourage women from taking up archery. This speculation is supported by even the most casual observation of modern day female archers who are more than capable of using the bow with all breasts intact. Historically, Amazons were portrayed as beautiful women in Amazonomachies, which was an artform showing battles between the Amazons and Greeks. Amazons were trained to use all weapons and especially in single combat. They were honorable, courageous, brave and represented rebellion against sexism. Their tales spread quickly and soon stories of the Amazons were everywhere, including Africa, Asia, Europe, South America (the Amazon River was named after the female warriors), and North America in the mid-1900s with the comic book hero, Wonder Woman. The following is a list of eighty-two Amazons from Greek myth.
