INCIDENTS IN MYTHOLOGY


Judgement of Paris

THE JUDGEMENT OF PARIS was a contest between the three  most beautiful goddess of Olympus, In the infamous story of the mythology from Greece, Judgement of Paris. Paris was on the foolish side of him, because he chose the gift of Aphrodite, rather than Athena's and Hera's. Aphrodite offered him the most beautiful woman, Helen of Troy, for his wife. While Athena offered him military glory, and Hera offered Paris wisdom. He was foolish and was swayed by looks over strength.

The Two Creations in Genesis

Image result for the bible genesisGenesis opens with two different creation stories, the accounts are similar that they both describe the creation of animals, plants, and humans. But they are distinct in many ways and even contradict each other on key issues. In the Genesis 1, God creates plants, then animals, and then, at the same time, creates the both gender, man and woman. In Genesis 2, God creates the human first, and then the animals, and later he divides the human into female and male.

So, in short, the second book of Genesis is not following the story of the first book. And, right now, I am doubting The Bible because of the two different stories in Genesis.




The Homecoming of Odysseus

After 20 years, our ship-wrecked hero comes back home. He arrives on his rocky island kingdom of Ithaca disguised as a beggar and finds that his palace is full of suitors wooing his wife, the faithful Queen Penelope. He and his son Prince Telemachus plot a fearful revenge. The story Odysseus:Homecoming is full of exciting fights and touching moments of recognition. When you read the story of the Homecoming of Odysseus, I bet you get goosebumps and get your heart touched by the moments in the story. It is heartbreaking stuff, but in the end, Athena helped Odysseus by reclaiming what he have, and helped him plot the revenge of the suitors courting his wife.
