How To Make A Greek Satire

Satire is a literary manner built on wit and humor with a critical attitude directed to human institutions and humanity.  A successful satiric play will show certain truths about society and then try to improve upon them.  Satire is meant to be constructive rather than destructive.  Aristophanes uses satire in Lysistrata to convey many different themes such as war and peace, the struggles of power and class, and the life and death issues that are seen in war.  Satire is successfully used and seen in Lysistrata by stereotyping women in general and then the different classes of women as well.  Double entendres are seen throughout the play to help add humor to the play.  Sex is

Long ago, Artemis and Apollo were twins born by the king of the gods, Zeus, and the Titan goddess, Leto. Artemis became the goddess of the moon, and Apollo became the god of the sun. The sun and moon duo rose to take their rightful place amongst the greatest of Olympians. However, twins are not without their disputes, especially when they're major Olympian gods/goddesses and neither of them like any competition for what they're worth. Therefore, Artemis and Apollo had a huge quarrel over whom the mortals relied on most - the sun or the moon. Apollo countered that the sun was essential for all living things, gave energy to Earth, and provided the mortals

There once was a martyr, who due to his immortal abilities, he became the immortal god of football.

In the beginning, the goddess of the sun looked upon the earth, and created animals to roam in the rays of her sunshine. She blessed the land with animals like squirrels, to scurry and scatter the seeds of the tall trees. She created the deer, to frolic in her sun bathed meadows, and graze upon the lush grasses. The butterflies and bees she created to spread the sweet nectar of the plants, and cover her green earth in vibrant colors. At last, the sun goddess was pleased with her work, and decided it was time for her to rest. When she took her leave of day, the moon god emerged and took over, creating the many creatures of the night. In contrast to the sun goddess, he created the owl and cricket, to perch in the trees and bushes, and fill the night with sound. He created bats, to fly through the night sky, and feed on insects, which he created to be their sustenance. While the moon god was busy creating animals to fill the night, he made a simple, easy to miss mistake. When he created the panther, he gave it a velvety black coat, to blend in with the darkness of its environment. He gave it agility to run from

Every human being is unique in his or her own way. Yet they all feel pain, anger, sadness and joy as reactions to everyday events. Although the reactions may be different, the response is always immediate. This is because all humans act out of impulse, and are best shown through the similarities between Greek Mythology and Biblical Stories. They reveal that it is in human nature to oppress the weak, be optimistic, and to fear being replaced.

But what we don’t realize is that the Greek Gods are still alive. They have companies and products

Everybody went against everybody.

Greek myths served numerous purposes in early Greece. When the Greeks first walked on the world, they did not know what anything was. Mythology and the Greek gods were created by human beings to explain the world around them. Because of the exploration and theories done by the Greeks, they had a better understanding of the Earth. In Mythology by Edith Hamilton, the purposes that the Greek myths served ranged from educational morals, all the way to pure amusement.

Have you ever wondered about Greek Mythology? If so you’re in for a treat!! There were many gods and goddess involved in Greek Mythology. There were many strong beliefs about different gods or goddess and Heroes. This brings me to my first question.

Theater in ancient Greece was considered the climax of the days long cultural festival of The City Dionysia. At the festival, various types of plays were shown but one of the most popular was tragedy. These tragedies show the main character, usually a god or person of myth, going through human suffering and the terrible sequence of events that followed; and were produced in 472- 401 BCE. In order for a play to be performed at The City Dionysia festival; tragic playwrights would first have to appeal to the state official that was organizing the festival by submitting ideas to him and his committee. The ideas submitted were outlines of main themes and points of interest to be performed in the play. If a playwright was selected by the state official and his committee, then they received a financial backer and a chance to compete in the drama competition of the festival. The state official, or his committee, was likely pushing their own agenda and choose playwrights that matched their ideals. This is just one example of how theater in ancient Greece was used to influence the morality of Greek culture by using the stories of tragedies, like those of Euripides.

Overall, the customs define who the people of Greece are, making it one of the most amazing cultures one can come across.

     Mythology is a way that the ancient societies explained why things are the way they are and how they came to being. Two ancient societies are infamous for their mythology. These societies are Greece and Rome. Great authors were made be the mythological works they wrote. Homer was a famous author who is best known for his epics. It is from these epics that most of the gods and actual myths well known. I am writing of two of these gods in particular, Saturn and Dionsysus.

Since the beginning of time the people of the world have their share of beliefs. Greek mythology is the arguably the most popular region of study. In Ancient Greece every citizen had a patron that would protect them and pantheism was commonplace. The Romans admired the Greeks in their art and culture and even took different aspects of their gods. Polytheism was widely accepted in all cultures so the seed of mythology bloomed. The time line of the creations of gods to the end of their reign is an important factor in Greek Mythology.
