Tragedy of Dido
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that examines Book Four of Virgil's epic poem of Rome's founding, the Aeneid, which relates the tragic love of Dido for the epic's hero Aeneas. This section of the poem pictures the course of Dido's love in five stages, which range from her realization that she loves Aeneas to her suicide, as his ships sail away. Throughout this narrative, Virgil pictures love as the equivalent to disease, an external force that subverts attention from what it truly important in life, that is, one's responsibilities. The implication in the poem is that Aeneas, being male, is better able to keep a proper focus than is the hapless, lovelorn Dido. No additional sources cited.

Vasilis Arvanitis
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page book review that argues that Stratis Myrivilis, in his novel Vasilis Arvanitis presents a hero who often seems paradoxical in that his behavior frequently seems to violate his cultural norms. While there is seeming incongruity, a closer examination of this work, informed by background knowledge of rural Greek culture, shows that Myrivilis takes an ethnographic approach to the life of his protagonist so that the choices that are dramatized should be understood within the context of the novel as powerful cultural expressions. It is against the backdrop of Greek village life that Myrivilis portrays his hero Vasilis and this dictates the nature of the heroism that is central point of the novel. Bibliography lists 1 sources.

Violence in Mythology vs. Violence in Modern Times
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. In this well-thought essay, the writer argues that the contemporary media is not to blame for our violent ways. Thousands of years ago, crowds jeered at public executions and fights to-the-death staged in large arenas and coliseums.. Using examples from myths such as Oedipus, The Odyssey, Aeneid, and more, it is shown that the violent imaginations of today are really no different than those of thousands of years ago. The only thing that has really changed is the media through which we express our myths. Bibliography lists 9 supporting sources.
