Running away from Minos, who fell in love with her, she flung herself into a net let down for fishing. Artemis made her into a goddess and not only the Cretans worship her, but also the Aiginetans, who say Britomartis appears to them on their island. Her title in Aigina is Aphaia and in Crete Diktynna.” (Pausanias, Guide to Greece 1: Central Greece, Translated by Peter Levi, Penguin Classics, London, 1979) Goddess Aphaia was assimilated into worship of “Athena Aphaia” in later years and the later goddess is featured prominently in the sculptures of the pediments.
Isis was another goddess that the ancient Egyptians believed in. She was the patron of health, marriage, magic, commoners, nature, and wisdom to the ancient Egyptians. Her affiliation with these aspects of life, especially magic and health, made Isis pivotal to the ancient Egyptian religion and the ancient Egyptian culture. Isis is described as a woman who adorns a headdress shaped like a throne who holds a Ankh in her hand. An Ankh is an object which resembles a cross but having a loop at the top.
The Etruscans were known for their belief in divination and their elaborate religious rituals (Bonfante, 2006). The Romans adopted many of these religious practices, including the practice of augury (the interpretation of signs and omens) and the worship of multiple gods (Beard et al., 2015). The Romans even adopted some Etruscan deities into their own pantheon, such as the god of the underworld, Dis Pater, who became known as Pluto in Roman mythology (Scullard, 1981). Furthermore, the Romans borrowed architectural and engineering techniques from the Etruscans.
The amphora was a valuable tool of the ancient times and was common among traders and merchants. Additionally, with the image of an Etruscan goddess on this common tool shows how much influence Etruscan culture and religion had at the time especially with an Etruscan king in power and their spread throughout Italy. Depicting an Etruscan goddess shows that Roman religion and theology had yet to take hold and Etruscan deities and traditions was the main belief at the time. The Etruscans would greatly influence the religious structure of Rome as they would adopt their rituals as well as their deities forming their own. It could also be noted how Thesan was a goddess of divination being presented on their art, a practice extremely revered among the Etruscans and a practice that would live on till the Roman Empire.

There are shared aims among cultures when it comes to mythology. Myths play a major role in all cultures, whether they are long gone or thriving, and they have a great deal of influence on both the people and the culture (Evans, 2018). In western literature, Circe by Madeline Miller, author of The Song of Achilles in 2011 (Quote), follows the entire life story of Circe, daughter of the Titan of the Sun, Helios, and Perse, one of the three thousand Oceanic nymphs (Quote). Circe, a Greek sorceress and one of the first goddess to be portrayed as a witch, is also one of the most intriguing figures of ancient mythology. Her portrayal of a witch laid the foundation and basis for many of the tropes that were later used to represent women throughout
In Mesopotamia they had one religion it was not named. The Sumerians would worship many gods and goddesses, but one of the most powerful goddesses, Ishtar father was Anu he was the god of all gods, Ishtar also has a brother Enki. These three gods and goddess are still worshipped Ishtar was the goddess of love, war, fertility and sexuality. Ishtar’s god symbol was a nine-pointed star; this star represents great significance and power. The Sumerians religion gradually with time faded, this was the time between the first and four centuries.
Within Ancient Greece people were polytheistic, worshipping many different gods and goddesses and using their stories to explain the unexplainable. One of these divine, important figures to the Greeks was Athena, a very wise goddess who often shared her knowledge with the Greeks. She was worshiped largely by the Greeks, especially in the city of Athens which patronized her for her impeccable skills. Since her traits were admired by people of many different professions and she is seen competing with other gods and mortals in a very large number of myths, she is one of the more widely known goddesses. Athena was born from the head of Zeus, king of the gods, fully grown and dressed in armor ready to win battles due to her extraordinary brainpower and extremely sharp reflexes (Downing and Ceccarelli).
One pivotal development that lead to humans developing civilizations from hunter-gatherer groups was the Neolithic Revolution. The Neolithic Revolution was a time where humans started developing agriculture. Agriculture is crop development and animal farming for food and animal product. The Neolithic Revolution is important because the development of agriculture allowed many people in a given area to focus on skills other than farming. This is what allowed many people to develop skills such as writing, pottery, tool development, and changes in gender roles.
The Resemblance and Distinctness in Hades and Hel Myths and legends served as bases for cultures of old and largely reflect the civilization they derive from. An undeniably extensive part of a culture is the gods that they prayed to and feared. Nations used gods and aspects of gods to demonstrate their way of life, terrors, ambitions, and to explain the strange occurrences in life. A great example of this reflection comes from the lore of the Nordic and Greek people. The Nordic goddess Hel and the Greek god Hades serve as prime examples of what these cultures had in resemblance and in polarity.
Comparing and contrasting the similarities between the Greek mythology of Pandora and the Biblical writings for Eve, is an enlightening topic. In Greek, the name Pandora means, “all gifts.” Hesiod had written, many literary works that included Pandora and her creation by Zeus. “Theogony” was one title work of Hesiod’s and the other was, “Works and Days.” Hesiod brings to light, in his writings that Pandora was created for the purpose to deceive man.
She is also always referred to being apart of the Olympian gods and was apart of the family on Mount
3000 BCE: Cuneiform (History) In Ancient Mesopotamia, the Sumerians developed the earliest standardized writing system: Cuneiform. Small marks were made with a pointed, wedge-shaped stylus on clay tablets, and were used to recorded business transactions. (Style) In its early forms, Cuneiform was written in columns from top to bottom. As many of the symbols were reoriented on their sides, the writing direction also turned to rows from left to right.
Following successful studies using TB-500 by researchers at Wayne State University School of Medicine to together with the Kresge Eye Institute in Detroit, Michigan, RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals, Inc published the results of this study which showed that thymosin beta 4 was an active corneal wound healing and anti-inflammatory agent Thymosin beta 4 is a protein that naturally occurs in all cells except in erythrocytes. Despite this protein being a key monomeric actin-sequestering peptide within cells and with ability to depolymerize F-actin, studies are showing that it has several diverse cellular functions. In this particular study, the researchers investigated the multiple mechanisms of action associated with Thymosin beta 4 and the role it
