By using the power of nature and reorienting the river, Hercules is successful in cleaning up the stables atAugeias The fertile plain that results is sacred to the goddess and is located on the west shore of the NorthernPeloponnesus. Olympia The most sacred buildings are closer to the hill commemorating the goddess. The Great Alter of Zeus: here, the sacrifice is given to the god by burning the inedible parts (the pastidentity of the gods) and sending the smell and incense, leaving the ashes behind. The whole Olympian family contributed to this pile of ashes, burnt at different locations from Zeus alter. Temples are made of colonnades wit a porch, either in the front or the back with a central chamber. Alltemples must be approached from the eastern side.

The artist, Phidias, made a sculpture of Zeus with sheets of ivory and his clothing was made of gold. Lionsand other female symbols are placed beneath him to show the subservient nature of women. In one hand, heholds his favorite daughter, Athena. He gives Athena to the winners of contests. The victors are the onlyones allowed in the temple.

The gods refused to eatthe food, and put Pilaps back together. Demeter had nibbled on Pilaps shoulder and that part was replacedby a piece of ivory.

Everyone who came after Pilaps also had ivory as his shoulder. Tantalos is put in theunderworld and is tormented by food. There was another Hippodameia whom Hercules rescues. (there are many Hippodameias in the worldbecause all it means is horse woman).

Temple of Hera ——————————————————————————–It is an old temple because the goddess feels supreme. A particular stone replaced the wooden columnsbecause they had rotted. There is a disc that still remains @ the apex of the roof. The wall that surrounds Olympia marks off the sacred ground from the profane.

Athletics are done to musicthus gracefulness and strength are both important. There was no respect for the loser and the winning familycould justify aristocracy from the gods.

Only wealthy people could really fight originally. Later the citywould sponsor an athlete to train to fight at these competitions. Pentatheletes were people who competed infive events.

Hercules 2 Marriages——————————————————————————–1) Megara = miss chambers (can be seen in Euripides play) 2) Deianeira (can be seen in Sophocles play) Euripides Play——————————————————————————–Herakles has his two fathers Zeus, and Amphitryon. Amphitryon cares for Hercules while Zeus does nothave the human love bond that the others possess. There is a saying that it is better to lose than to win, or itis better to be human than divine. The audience who watches the play becomes emotionally involved andcries and boos for characters.

Megara says that there is no sense in trying to keep up a fight, when theymight as well be dead. She requests for them to be dressed for death when Lykos comes to kill them. Just intime Hercules comes to rescue them, but because of Megaras love for Hercules, she reversed the world.Hercules kills Lykos, but then he goes insane and kills his family through madness. He almost kills his dad,but Athena stops him by throwing a stone at him.

It would not have been good if he had killed his humanfather, because he would have lost touch with the human world.

One of them is Eolae who is a princess who has novoice. As soon as Deianeira sees her, she believes that her beauty will cause her pain. As a result she usesthe potion by sprinkling it on some female clothing and giving it to Hercules.

Hercules is intoxicated andDeianeira kills herself so as not to be killed by Hercules himself. When he comes back 2 Africans attack him because they did not see any blackness on him. Butunfortunately Hercules had a black (hairy butt). He hangs them upside down. Hercules plans his own funeral cuz he knows that hes going to die. Hercules directs his son to marry Eolae,which adds more confusion, and he is burned after dying so he can ascend to Olympia. Theseus——————————————————————————–Theseus =set =settled on a stone =herm OR he puts stones down to settle a place by burying pollutionbeneath it.

Peirithoos = Theseus sidekick and best friend. They met at the marriage of Hippodameia. These guys liked each other so much that they wanted to have a double wedding.

The answer that she provides is that Aegeus is a goat, and that he should not have sex till hegets home to have sex with her. Entrances to the underworld are usually very beautiful.

King Pitthens = pine tree, puts Aegeus (whos drunk)with his daughter Aithra = ether= a highly intoxicating liquid that turns to vapor. Aithra is a turncoat. Shewalks across the plain and jumps into the water and makes it to Porous. She falls asleep and sleeps withPoseidon on the same night as she sleeps with Aegeus. Aegeus placed two tokens underneath a rock, whereAithra takes her son Theseus to when he reaches puberty. He receives a sword and one sandal.

After Aegeus goes home he sleeps with Medea and they have a child named Medos ( who will later be theancestor of the Persians), named after the queen. Theseus 6 Labors——————————————————————————–The place where the labor occurs is usually a place of the old civilization. 1.

Sinos the tree man who uses 2 trees to tear apart his victims. 2. Skeron he would ask u to tie his sandal and then push you off the cliff.

She goes to the ocean with her sisters and is raped by thisbull. It is not really Zeus but th older version of zeus as the consort of the Queen. He may have used anentheogen to swoon her away.

She journeys on the bull across the waters being led by a bird with a longneck with Eros following them. Europa gives birth to Minos at Crete. Minos gets married to Pasiphae whois the aunt of Medea. Pasiphae has estrual lust for a bull in Minos crowd. Daidalos (a craftsman) helps herby building a fake cow for her to climb into so that she can sleep with the bull.

Daidalos tells Icarus, his son, not to fly too high up because the wings were melt=thisgives the name Icarian see = myth of antagonism of fathers and sons The palace of Minos was the place of the deadly dance. ——————————————————————————–The myth is similar to the true history = form of labyrinth which is the emblem of the mother goddess andthe womb passage.

There is only one story in which he goes to Olympus where he refounds the whole world to a new religion.(Tragedy is a losing phase). Hippolytus——————————————————————————–Theseus puts a curse on the son of Hippolytus and it becomes clear that he is Poseidons son. In Athenian plays the hero and the wife are played by the same person (doubling of roles).

Aphrodite is mad because Hippolytus is one sided and is in love with Artemis. Aphrodite, and Thedra isplayed by Artemis actor. Thedra wants to be Artemis and be in love with Hippolytus. She does not want to live in the liminal world. She wants to be Artemis but is forced to be Aphrodite. This all leads to the similar solution of fasting.

Theseus cannot have a Minoan wife, matrimonial son, and horse relatives. The remedy is that Thedra commits suicide and Hippolytus is dragged to death by horses. Human is thecivilized form of worship.
