Early Christianity/A Mix of Myth
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that which addresses traditional Christian dogma that asserts that the Bible is literally true and that the story of Jesus' life, death and resurrection are unique. However, examination of ancient myth and Jewish tradition shows that this is not the case. Early Christians not only drew heavily on Hebrew scripture in describing the life of Christ, they also borrowed heavily from the pagan religions that they presumed to abhor. It seems reasonable to presume that this practice gave the new religion a ring of authenticity with various populations as it was not very different from the religions that preceded it. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Euripides' "Medea" And Seneca's "Medea": Compare/Contrast
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Both Seneca and Euripides envisioned something different when they each penned their individual version of Medea. That Euripides put forth a decidedly more humane and sensitive version illustrates how Seneca took her fundamental character and transformed it into an unsavory, vengeful sorcerer. Clearly, Seneca's Medea boasts a more defiant, anger characterization than does Euripides, asserting an obvious contempt for Medea in particular, as well as women in general. Contrarily, Euripides' Medea tells of a genuine love that is torn apart by greed and blind ambition; had it not been for Jason's impetuosity, Medea would have had no reason to utilize her magical abilities in such a vengeful fashion. The message that such vast difference says about each culture speaks to the issue of patriarchal control. No additional sources cited.

Fate and Oedipus the King.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp). Ancient Greeks cared deeply about the
pursuit of knowledge. Although the truth was often
a terrifying concept, they still saw it as a
critical virtue. The theater with its chorus and
collection of ancient stories, was one way in
which the ideas of knowledge and truth were
examined. How fate plays a role in this play,
and in our lives is discussed.
