Homer's Odyssey/Relationship with Gods
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page essay that discusses the information can be inferred from Homer's Odyssey concerning the relationship of humanity with the gods. The writer argues that religion gave ancient peoples not only an explanation of natural phenomenon that would otherwise be inexplicable, but also a feeling of control towards fate. Examination of this epic poem shows that to the ancient Greeks religion was not a remote or abstract subject, but rather a force that interacted with their lives directly. In the Odyssey, characters are influenced, guided, and warned through direct communication with their gods. No additional sources cited.

Homer's True Identity
[ send me this essay ]
12 pages in length. As popular as Homer's classics are in the context of history, so too is the mystery that surrounds the author's true identity. The extent to which the authenticity of Homer's existence has spawned myriad theories throughout the ages is both grand and far-reaching; that no single conjecture is the least bit verifiable speaks to the notion that Homer very likely did not exist within his own right but rather as an image concocted by at least one other person - but more than likely by several others. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Homer/Iliad & Greek Culture
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page essay that examines what Homer's Iliad tells the modern reader about ancient Greek culture. In many ways, ancient sagas are like windows on another time as they reflect the mores, customs, traditions, beliefs and lifestyles that were prevalent in societies that existed in past millennia. An examination of Homer's Iliad in this regard teaches the modern reader a great deal, not only about ancient Greek practices, but also about the way in which they viewed life, that is, the values that they considered paramount to a person of exemplary character. No additional sources cited.

Homosexuality and Young Adult Literature
[ send me this essay ]
This 6 page personal essay discusses homosexuality and the fact that it should be presented in young adult literature along with any other issue that will have an impact on a young person’s life. The author points out that there are people who think of it as a the most heinous of sins “against nature” and others who believe it is of no more relevance than the color of one’s eyes. And, of course, there are others who are convinced that they “aren’t bothered” by gays and lesbians but don’t understand why “they can’t just keep to themselves.” Each of these attitudes are attitudes which have evolved as the result of personal experience and belief systems, most of which were established before a person reached adulthood. What an adolescent or teen reads serves as an important component in shaping his or her beliefs. To deny that homosexuality exists r to declare it as a perversion or sin only serves to negate the existence of an entire group of people. No sources listed.
