The Knidian Aphrodites
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing various perspectives from which Praxiteles' nude and her effects are studied. The ancient Greeks had a god or goddess for every reason, many of which were personified in statuary which was then located in the various temples built in honor of these forms of deity. Study of these sculptures as art generally are limited to description and historical influences on later works, but at least one author wonders why we do not simply appreciate the Knidian Aphrodite for the beauty that she is. One common feature of all studies of the Knidian Aphrodite is that it was then and remains the standard by which all views of female beauty is portrayed. Bibliography lists 7
sources.

The One: Odysseus and Athena
[ send me this paper ]
Many have called the relationship between Athena and Odysseus in The Odyssey a mentoring relationship, particularly as Athena often takes the form of a character named Mentor, but their relationship has much more depth than mentoring. Theirs is a relationship that evolves from mistaken assumptions between two people, in this case, their roles in the battle of Troy, a role requiring the commitment of shared souls. Therefore, the relationship between Athena and Odysseus is a redemptive one borne of past grievances (storytelling focus). Athena’s need is to redeem the future, while Odysseus’s need is to redeem the past. Together, they fight to protect their present souls so that they can give birth to one soul containing the mortal and the immortal. Bibliography lists 3 sources. JVAthOdy.rtf
