Cyprus, our country
Cyprus is an island nation located in the Mediterranean Sea. It has a long history dating back over 12,000 years and has been influenced by many foreign conquerors. Cyprus today has a population consisting mainly of Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, with Greek and Turkish as the primary languages of each community, respectively. The island is divided between the areas controlled by the Republic of Cyprus and the northern area occupied by Turkey since 1974. Cyprus seeks to promote peace between its communities while maintaining its distinct Greek and Turkish identities and cultural traditions around food, arts, and mythology.
Celtic mythology yay
Celtic mythology originated from the religious beliefs and practices of the Celtic people who inhabited Europe. There was no single pantheon of gods and goddesses across Celtic tribes. Individual tribes worshipped their own local deities and nature spirits. Two major traditions discussed are Gaulish and Irish mythology. Gaulish myths were influenced by Roman religion, while Irish myths were primarily preserved in oral traditions and manuscript cycles. The Druids held a central role as priests and oral transmitters of Celtic myths. Several ancient Celtic festivals like Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane and Lughnasadh evolved into modern celebrations.
Ancient Greece
Ancient Greece was a civilization that lasted from the 8th to 6th centuries BC to the 600s AD. Society was stratified, with upper, middle, and lower classes. Men were citizens and held public roles, while women were confined to domestic life. Marriage was usually arranged, and divorce was possible. Families were patriarchal, with husbands and fathers in authority. Children were raised communally in Sparta but by mothers in Athens. Education differed by gender and class. The arts, including architecture, sculpture, and music flourished. Religion centered on the Olympian gods and their myths. Festivals honored the gods through processions, sacrifices, and competitions. Upon death, souls went to Hades and bodies received fun
Hawaiian Culture Analysis
During a psychology class we were asked to present a project on a culture of our choice. My choice of Hawaii was mostly because of the seperated culture between the U.S. and the last state of Hawaii.
