5 pages in length. The authors of the student's class texts have varied in chronological time as well as and historical, political and religious perspective.

Oedipus And Antigone: Significance Of Teiresias
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Teiresias' significance in Oedipus and Antigone speaks to the importance of prophecy as it exists in Greek mythology. Teiresias, a famous Thebian prophet, gained his special powers as a trade-off for the blindness Athena cast upon him for accidentally seeing her bathing. Now bestowed with the ability to prognosticate, Teiresias's foretelling becomes an instrumental component in many characters' lives, not the least of which were found in Oedipus and Antigone. The messages Teiresias deliver are not always what the recipients wanted to hear; however, the truth that resides in his disclosures often seeks to alter a given character's entire existence for the better, which establishes Teiresias' most significant contribution to each play. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Of Gods And Heroes In The Modern World

This 15 page paper argues that myth is more than a symbol or a format for storytelling - it includes the seeds of change. Through the development of myths, the modern individual may be able to impact the future as well as to provide meaning to the present. Bibliography lists 6 sources, all by Joseph Campbell.
