Earliest heroes
The document summarizes several ancient Greek myths about early heroes and the origins of certain flowers. It describes the punishment of Prometheus and the travels of Io as she is turned into a cow. It also tells the stories of how Zeus seduced Europa by appearing as a bull, how Odysseus outsmarted the cyclops Polyphemus, and the myths behind the flowers Narcissus, Hyacinth and Adonis. The overarching theme is how these myths attempt to explain natural phenomena and events through the actions of the Greek gods and heroes.
The Earliest Heroes
1) Odysseus and his crew encounter the cyclops Polyphemus in his cave. Polyphemus kills and eats some of Odysseus' men. Odysseus gets Polyphemus drunk and blinds him with a wooden stake.
2) As they escape, Odysseus taunts Polyphemus. Polyphemus throws a boulder at their ship but misses.
3) Polyphemus later falls in love with the sea nymph Galatea but she does not return his affection. He sings mournful songs to her by the seashore.
Greek Flower Myths
Flowers are considered very beautiful in Greece due to their scarcity in the rugged landscape. Several Greek myths explain the origins of particular flowers, usually arising from tragic stories of love, rejection and death. Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool and died gazing at it, and the narcissus flower grew where he lay. Hyacinthus was accidentally killed by Apollo during a game, and the hyacinth flower sprang from his spilled blood. Adonis was fatally gored by a boar while hunting, and the anemone flower grew from his blood on the earth.
The earliest heroes.pptx eng28
Zeus saw the beautiful maiden Europa and fell in love with her. He transformed into a gentle bull and allowed Europa to climb on his back. While her companions played, the bull swam across the sea with Europa to the island of Crete. There, Zeus revealed his true identity and they lived happily together. Europa gave birth to three sons who became legendary kings, with two later serving as judges in the underworld.

Prometheus and Io - Io was a priestess seduced by Zeus, who turned her into a cow to hide her from his wife Hera. She wandered in torment until reaching Egypt, where she was restored to human form.
Europa - Zeus fell in love with Europa and tricked her in the form of a bull. He carried her across the sea to Crete, where he revealed himself and they had two sons.
Odysseus and the Cyclops - When Odysseus' crew landed on the shore of the Cyclops Polyphemus, he trapped them in his cave. Odysseus blinded Polyphemus with a wooden stake, allowing them to escape.
Beowulf and female monsters
This document discusses the characteristics of epic poems from Anglo-Saxon times. Some key points:
1) Epics from this era typically centered around battles and wars, with descriptions of visual imagery and repetitive language. They featured mostly male characters and circular narratives.
2) Anglo-Saxon society was warrior-based, where glory was gained in battle and revenge for slain kin was expected. Women's roles were often as peaceweavers or cupbearers.
3) Grendel's mother challenges gender expectations as she takes revenge for her son's death, displaying both monstrous and warrior traits despite being a female character.

The wolf of gubbio
1) Saint Francis of Assisi felt sympathy for the wolf of Gubbio that was stalking and killing people, as he saw the wolf's behavior as reflecting the violence and fear within all humans.
2) Francis bravely approached the wolf and preached to the townspeople about loving all of God's creatures. He then found and confronted the wolf alone.
3) By speaking gently to the wolf and making the sign of the cross, Francis was able to calm the wolf. He then struck a deal where the wolf would be protected in exchange for guarding Gubbio as its protector.
Post-colonial Poetry Analysis
The poem "Vultures" by Chinua Achebe uses vivid imagery to describe vultures and draw parallels to cruel human behavior. It depicts a pair of vultures nestled together after eating a corpse. In a later section, it compares the vultures' behavior to that of the Commandant of the Belsen concentration camp, who murders Jews but still buys his child sweets. Though capable of cruelty, even the worst creatures can feel love. The poem suggests there is a thin line between love and hate.
Pliant like a bamboo
The document summarizes a Filipino folk story about a mango tree and a bamboo tree that call on the wind to determine which is stronger. When the wind blows, the mango tree refuses to bend and is eventually uprooted, while the bamboo tree bends gracefully and survives. It uses this story as an allegory for how the Filipino people have historically survived foreign domination by yielding and adapting to their conquerors, like the bamboo tree. The document argues the Filipino people are well-suited to this role through their ability to learn languages and adjust to different cultures that have governed the Philippines.
