Hero Meets Hero-Jesus and Gilgamesh

5 Heroes!

Hercules-The most popular of Greek heroes, Hercules was the essence of strength and manliness. Hercules was celebrated in stories, sculptures, paintings, and even the geography of the ancient world. This hero's life was non-stop action, from start to finish.

Beowulf-Beowulf is from the most important work of Old English literature. Beowulf is a Scandinavian prince who rids the Danes of the monster Grendel (half man, half fiend) and Grendel's mother. Fifty years later he is a king of his native land and fights the dragon who is against his people.

Knights Templar-The Knights Templar was a military religious order. It was also one of the three major orders of medieval Christian knights. This order was established after the First Crusade. The French gradn master Jacques de Molay confessed under torture, and the knights were all eventually burned at the stake.

Gilgamesh-Gilgamesh was a tyrannical Babylonian king who ruled the city of Uruk. His people disliked him and prayed to the gods about it. Enkidu was sent, and the two wrestled. There was no clear victor, so they became friends. He, advised by an elder, found the plant of eternal youth, but lost it to a serpent and later died.

Jesus-Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, and is the Son of God. He taught of God's love. Jesus was crucified for our sins, and rose from the grave. He now lives in heaven with God.

The Olympics-Ancient Vs. Modern-With 6 Major Differences

The Ancient Greek Olympics are very different from the modern-day Olympics, but they still have the same general idea. The winners still gain the fame and glory. There are also no monetary prizes, as in the Ancient Olympics. Some ancient events also remain (discus, javelin, etc.) The French Baron Pierre de Coubertin also wished to regain the ideals of the Ancient Olympics in the new modern-day Olympics.

6 Major Differences
1. Only a few hundred of Greek descent could participate in the Ancient Greek games
The Salt Lake City Olympics featured 2600 athletes from 77 countries.
2. Only men could participate in the Ancient Olympics. It was even part of their citizen's education.
Now, women can participate in the modern-day Olympics. The first women to compete were Marie Ohnier and Mme. Brohy (they participated in croquet games in the 1900 Olympics)
3. The Ancient Olympic Games were a religious event to honor the Greek god Zeus (king of the gods). A hundred oxen were also given as a sacrifice.
Frenchman Pierre Baron de Coubertin, who helped revive the Olympic Games, insisted that they feature the international competition of athletes
4. The Ancient Olympic events only had one winner, who received the olive branch crown. A statue of him was also erected in Olympia
Now there are 15 types of events with a bronze, silver, and gold medal. People now don't die to win.
5. The Ancient Greeks never thought of the Winter Olympics.
The Winter Olympics are a modern invention. The first Winter Olympics was held in Chamonix, France
6. The Ancient Olympic Games were always held in Olympia.
They are now held at different places each year, with Greece only being the site of the 1st modern Olympic Games.

On the Pleasures of Love in Old Age
Is love in old age? Truly, the pleasure is less, but less also is the desire. However, we worry nothing, if we do not desire, and he who does not desire does not lack. Youth desire excessively; the old often have enough love and much wisdom. I think, therefore, this time of life is pleasant.

On the Pleasures of Love in Old Age
Is love in old age? Truly the pleasure is less, but less also is desire. But nothing is a concern to us, if we are not desiring, and he who does not desire does not lack. Youths desire excessively; old men often have much love and wisdom. Therefore, I think that this time of life is pleasant.

The Myrmidons (Ant People)

Once upon a time, Aeacus was ruler of Aegina, whose name he took from his mother Aeaci, who at the time Jupiter joined her in love. Juno, who was not able to tolerate the bad morals of Jupiter, sensed this deed and kept the memory. Many years after this, she sent death to everyone who lived on the island. "Oh, father Jupiter," Aeacus called, "Juno destroyed my whole population! Help me, your son, who you love and you ought not to neglect." The god heard him and without delay began to mutate ants into humans! And so Jupiter, when nothing is too difficult, male small men and women out of animals. (Truth tells, can it not be?)
The son of Aeacus is Peleus, whose son is that man Achilles, the leader of the Myrmidons (Ant people)
