In the fourth and third century BCE, the Etruscans produced many engraved mirrors decorated with scenes from Greek or local mythology. A characteristic product of the Etruscans, they provide a great deal of information about Etruscan bronze technology and the development of Etruscan art. An example at the Walters Museum, "Mirror with Heracles, Dionysus, Ariadne, and Eros," allows the viewer to see such an object and come to an appreciation of the skilled and intricate work required by an artisan to make it. Many Etruscan mirrors are decorated with a similar scene, which also appeared in Greece during the fifth century BCE, often on painted terra cotta vases. Art historians at the British Museum have undertaken a project to catalogue all known existing Etruscan mirrors.

In the latter part of the nineteenth century, as the United States became more industrialized and larger portions of the population were granted the right to political involvement, newspapers became an increasingly important source of information. Those who could effectively portray the events of the time in a way accessible to the common man held the key to political influence. But there was another facet to this business: it was, above all, important to be able to reach the uneducated masses. Cartoonist Thomas Nast did just that, using his artistic skill to caricature inequality in weekly political magazines over the course of his 40-year career. It is widely agreed that Nast had an influence unparalleled by nearly any other in American history;

"Oedipus the King" written by Sophocles, is a powerful Greek tragedy story. The protagonist, Oedipus is a heroic mythical king who had it all. Oedipus pursues to find the true answers to his identity and destiny, while at the same time trying to avoid fulfilling his destiny.

The twelve labors of Heracles he had to do this twelve labor’s cause killed his family and if he wanted to have his freedom again he had to do Theas twelve dangerous deeds for his mother the queen.

The next task was to hunt and kill the gold deer he chased this deer for one year till finely one day he got the deer and killed it so he took the horns back the them they thought he would never kill it but once

Harm-Reduction Model Substance abuse affects people and their environments in diverse ways. Families crumble under its power. Societies restructure to accommodate areas subject to higher rates of substance abuse, as the issues seem to exist comorbid with mental illness and homelessness. That is not to imply that all people suffering from the relentlessness of the disease that is addiction are all mentally ill or homeless, but rather, there are some common threads that can be detected within the different cultures of substance abuse and addiction.

Fate chose him to kill his dad, marry his mom, and discover it all in Oedipus Rex, Sophocles’ tragedy. Oedipus was so determined to save Thebes from the plague bestowed on them by Apollo. But little did he know that he was the source of it all. His constant reversal of fortune, neutrality, and suffering make him the perfect example of a classic Greek tragic hero.

Sophocles lived during the Golden Age of Greece. He is renowned as one of the greatest dramaticist of

The most famous scene in Sophocles’, Oedipus Rex, is when Oedipus gouges out his eyes. But, that’s not the only example of sight and blindness in this play. In Sophocles ' plays there was always extensive content where he paid considerable attention to the element of “spectacle” in his plays. When observing the theme of vision, it invites the audience to look at the action with a double perspective, through their own eyes and through the eyes of those on stage. Within this play, sight and blindness are the underlying themes. Sight is commonly associated with light or positive overtones, and blindness is attached to darkness or negative undertones. The approach to describing blindness deals with not only physical blindness but also metaphorical blindness. Oedipus ' blindness changes from bad to worse at different scenes of the play. Although the word "blindness" seems quite simple, it can be very debatable. Blindness or the inability to “see” consist of two elements; Oedipus 's ability to see vs his desire to see. Throughout many scenes, the two elements are used in pattern form. Some scholars mention the two aspects of the play in addition to discussing the theme of knowledge. Lazlo Versenyi, Thomas Hoey, Marjorie Champlain, analyze the play from different perspectives. Versenyi says the play was “a tragedy of self- knowledge”, with the use of terms

The famed tragedian Sophocles is known for his unique ideas and intellect. Sophocles carefully utilizes of all of his intelligence and creative ability in order to make use of illuminating moments throughout the play which allow his audience to draw conclusions about free will, fate, knowledge, and power throughout perhaps his most iconic play, Oedipus Rex. the main character Oedipus experiences an illuminating moment when he gouges his eyes out at the discovery of the truth about his actions. This illumination is expressed in order to express Sophocles’ idea that fate overpowers free will.

In the popular Greek tragedy Oedipus the King, the plot shows how a single bad trait can lead to the fall of a once great man. The author Sophocles portrays the story of the titular where a hero rises to fame after solving the city of Thebes’ great riddle. The solution to the riddle frees Thebes of its curse from the Sphinx and relieves the city’s misery. Although Oedipus is praised and crowned king for freeing the city, he is not entirely a good man. Oedipus is very arrogant, which causes him to make several bad decisions. Through the story of Oedipus the King, Sophocles warns readers not to let arrogance blind them from reality, for it will eventually result in tremendous suffering.

Brutus and Antony both had very good speeches and both presented them very well. Both of their speeches had good examples of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. A good example of Brutus using Ethos is when he tells the people to believe him because of his honor and that they should also have respect for his honor. When Antony first starts off his speech he doesn’t tell the people to trust him. He simply asks them to just lend him their attention and to listen to what he has to say. These are both good examples of Ethos but I think that Antony would be more appealing to the people. I think this because he doesn’t just tell them to trust him because of what he has done or because of his honor, but to just simply listen to what he has to say to them at the funeral.

Thesis Statement: Oedipus is the personification of Aristotle’s characterization of a tragic hero through his ability to maintain and keep his virtue and wisdom, despite his shortcomings and situation in life.

This paper looks at two Greek philosophers, Heraclitus, and Parmenides. It examines their different theories as to how the universe was created, understanding of the universe, 'way of truth, ' 'way of opinion ' and the third way. The author explains that Parmenides, who came after Heraclitus, addressed part of his writings as a refutation of Heraclitus? views. He objected both to Heraclitus? view of the universe and how Heraclitus felt people could gain knowledge of it.
