Senwosret III was a ruthless and autocratic king. During his long reign, he vanquished his rivals and enforced loyalty among his subordinates, instituting a new ideology of royal power and divine kingship. Changes in Egyptian culture reflect these ideas by portraying the pharaoh in a powerful light and giving him godlike qualities. Innovations in literature and in artistic representations suggest the authoritative and divine nature of Senwosret III and how he commanded loyalty from his subjects. In addition, changes in burial customs and military activity also demonstrated his ruthless qualities and how he consolidated power for himself.
Akhenaten, previously known as Amenhotep IV, was one of the most controversial Pharaohs to rule Egypt. As pharaoh, Akhenaten changed the polytheistic religion of Egypt to a monotheistic religion devoted to the Aten, which was depicted as a sun disk. The Egyptians despised this radical idea, but were forced to change their religion, art and their overall way of life. His reign began at around 1353 BC in the 18th Dynasty, following the death of his father Amenhotep III, and lasted until 1336 BC. His father’s reign was peaceful and prosperous, leaving Akhenaten with an Egypt of immense power and wealth.
Precise facial expressions help the reader truly get a sense of the author’s main purpose. Throughout Persepolis we see that to be true. Specifically, in the chapter “Kim Wilde”, on pages 127 and 128 throughout multiple panels, we get the facial expression of worriedness and fear. This is because they are trying to smuggle illegal posters across the border. The thought of bringing posters home for their daughter caused so much fear and worriedness in Marji’s parents lives because the government forbids any westernized life and the posters contained a western band on them.
Compare and Contrast: In The Odyssey Melanthius is brutally killed. “With rustless swords they lopped his nose and ears, pulled out his bowels to be eaten raw by dogs, and in their rage cut off his hands and feet” (Homer 283). He is killed in this manner because he is a wingman of Antinous, the unofficial leader of the suitors. This may symbolize the end of the suitors once and for all. Odysseus is making a statement, one that says he is the leader now.
Fear becomes a major element in restoring his identity as well by forcing the suitors to fear his identity; especially after he kills their leader, Antinuos. To exemplify Odysseus’s glory after he slaughters the suitors, Homer compares Odysseus who
allusion because I thought the earlier reference to Agamemnon on line 107 related to the description of Troy. The correct answer is A. personification because in lines 110-112 it uses a personification (“put your courage into my head as on the day when we loosed Tory’s fair diadem from her brow”). Corrections 54 I chose D. contrast with Odysseus’ ragged appearance because I thought the description of Odysseus in lines 2 (“looking like a poor miserable old beggar”) related to the description of the carpenter.
In Homer’s translation of The Odyssey, the epic sung many years ago, there is a struggle of warriors to return to their home land after the battle of Troy. They face many challenges and obstacles and generally rely on one person to lead them home, Odysseus. He is seen flawless by men and the smartest of them all. A leader must always carry qualities that make him such a person to be followed by many dozen men who enjoy his control. Although Odysseus was seen as a strong leader with no flaws, there were in fact many that have cost him many lives.
Odysseus in this scene is portrayed with the two evil thoughts hyperphania (false pride) and kenodoxia (boasting).
The name Odysseus means one of two things. Number one being hate; or hateful. Number two being pain or son of pain. Both of these fit Odysseus in one way or another. The first meaning, hatred fits him because of all the hatred he shows to the suitors/servants (killing them all was unnecessary and hateful).
Through this work, he was trying to express to his people with Naram-Sin at the helm of the monarchy that there was no possible way that they could ever be defeated or taken over. This piece was used to convey the trust and hope that the people should’ve had in their ruler, this sculpture expressed the great supremacy of Naram-Sin and the discipline of the Akkadians beneath him. He was resilient enough to conquer these barbaric and chaotic people and this showed his fierceness to the Akkadians. With this defeat, it is believed that he subjected them to life as slaves and placed them beneath society just as they were displayed placed beneath him in the relief
Today more and more people are going to college. Most people go to college to build their knowledge and to study a specific field that they want to get a job in some day. College is marketed to most people as a creative place where they will learn everything they need to know to get a job and enter the “real world”. As college students right now, don’t get us wrong we do learn many things but, we have found that in many classes we take, we just focus on getting a good grade or a passing grade. At the end of the semester we walk out of some class barely learning a thing because we retain information just long enough to do good on a test or exam and then forget it all together when the class is done.
