1500 word odyssey

The Odyssey is one of two most ancient Greek epic poems. Homer was the author to such a great poem the Odyssey and Iliad. He carried the name of "the great ancient Greek poet" and from what I have read, it is so. His work contains Greek heroes. Also including Troy and his great fall, the great god Odysseus. Odysseus was a great piece of literature in the Odyssey with his actions and characteristics. He was one of the great Gods and was surly shown about in the Odyssey. The Odyssey had many gods and goddesses and they were almost all related to one another. Greek mythology plays a very important role in history and English literature. Olympians were commonly known for their work during this time in history. A reason to why the myths of Olympians have been around for so long is for its followers and great value of history and people. There were many Olympians, twelve known. All of these Olympians were known to have special powers, or gifts. There was good and bad in this world. Like in every other world where you would find the same. These myths have luster for over four hundred years and because of its believers it has drown for a long time. Myths were created for many reasons but generally known for the Greeks to escape and have freedom from terror they had. It has been learned that Greek mythology was written by Homer. Homer was the poet to Iliad and the Odyssey, not much information has ever been learned from Homer and his life but that he was a Greek living in Ionia around the time of the eighth century. (B.C) Homers poetic views to Iliad deals with events of a short time towards the end of the Trojan War. The Odyssey was distinguished with the voyages and return to Ithaca by Odysseus but both imply many people and events outside their immediate scope. Other than the Gods from the Olympians there were other elder Gods, which were the Titans. The Titans had ruled the world before the Olympians had taken over. Their ruler was Coronus. The Titans were commonly known to be strong and very powerful but lost to the Olympians and were banned. They were moved to Hades deepest cave Tartarus. Hades was the God of the underworld. He was son of Coronus and Rhea. Hades later on was swallowed by his father along with his brother Poseidon and sisters. Zeus was also his brother, a younger brother who told their father to vomit them. Zeus had been the chosen one from all the siblings young or older. Homer had stated that the three brothers, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades divided the world. Zeus received the skies, Poseidon the seas, and Hades the underworld. Hades then ruling the underworld wanted to take Zeus’ daughter as his wife. He had fallen in love with Persephone also daughter of Demeter. Demeter did not except, and wanted her back. Persephone had eaten a pomegranate seed given to her by Hades and was forced to return every four to six months. She then became ruler of the underworld with Hades. After Zeus had taken over his father’s thrown he married his older sister Hera. Hera was a very jealous woman. She was also a Goddess, the Goddess of marriage and the Queen of Heaven. These gods and goddesses had conflicts between each other, and were all somehow related. Aphrodite is a great Goddess, very well recognized in our time as well. She was the Goddess of beauty, love and sexual rapture. Her father, Zeus, married her off to the Smith God Hephaestus. He was known to be the ugliest God and was married to the most beautifulness Goddess. Thinking Hephaestus would lose his wife he would make her beautiful jewels, making her still more attractive. Both of them together had many sons but she was also greatly loved by Ares, but also caught with Apollo by Hephaestus. They were made to pay consequences. There were always affairs, marriage problems, sibling situations, and like I have said they were all somehow related. Like the Gods and Goddess I have mentions there are many others as well. All gods had their purpose of existence. Zeus was the ruler and God of the Olympians and ruled over his father. Heras was Zeus’ wife, protector of marriage. Poseidon was God of the seas, Hades was God of the underworld and marries Persephone daughter of Zeus and Demeter. Demeter was the Goddess of corn and harvest, Goddess of growing. Hestia was the Goddess of hearth, Zeus’ sister. Athena was Goddess of wisdom, justice, war, peace, and civilization. Apollo was the god of the sun, music, light and truth, he inspired me for the art, knowledge, and creativity he had as a great God. Like him they all had their own meaning and conclusion to their powers. Artemis was the Goddess of the woods, moon, and the hunt; she was Apollo’s twin sister. Dionysus was the god of revelry and the vine. Ares was the god of war; Hephaestus was the God of fire, volcanoes and the forge. Aphrodite was the Goddess of love and beauty like I have mentioned, and Hermes was the herald and messenger of the Gods guide and travelers. Like all these Gods and Goddesses they were all powerful and amazingly beautiful. Greek mythology consists of many stories that have been told and known for, stories having to do with immortals and mortals. There was always an aspect of life to each god and goddess. Greeks had great beliefs in these gods and followed those doings. Mythology was brought to show expressions, doings of good and bad of every day struggles. Greeks were people that had great courage and knowledge that is not often seen now. For many in our times now it is no sign of respect or regularity to marry your brother, sister, niece, or nephew, etc. In those times those were things that were done on a daily basis. It sounds crazy. If it wouldn’t have been for the peoples reason to believe. The creation to Gods and Goddesses would not exist. Greek mythology is very good, great myths to learn about, and stories to believe in but everyone has their own thoughts and faiths. Greek mythology is amazingly historical.

The Conditions Of El Salvador

        El Salvador is a violent country that has the highest murder rate on earth. It has one the most known gang known as the "Maras". El Salvador’s main urban hubs are San Salvador, San Miguel, and Santa Ana. Urban homes are made out of bricks and cement. Homes in the slums however, are  huts made out of aluminum, plastic, and cardboard. My dad describes El Salvador as a beautiful place but there are people like me with different opinions of the country. I have been to El Salvador once and it had by far the worst weather i have ever  experienced. you can barley breath in the weather of El Salvador because of the humidity in the country. The majority of male Salvadoran citizens are farmers that work almost every day of the year, twelve to fourteen hours a day, to grow the food that their families will eat. More than half of those living in cities are barely able to afford to survive. Fewer job opportunities and high costs of living explain why urban poverty is so widespread. It becomes a problem when far too many Salvadorans are living in the cities because the government is not able to provide the necessary services to everyone. There's a problem with El Salvador is that if it rains it will continue rain for a long time and at a really high temperature. The country has beautiful places just like any other place you visit in the world but the violence in El Salvador is tremendously high. The road conditions of Salvador aren't so great either because people don't really respect street lights or road signs. Most of the streets in El Salvador are are full of graffiti and trash. Salvador is a small country but is full of people with pride.
