What are some myths with Poseidon in them?
149846
Poseidon is actually in a lot of different Greek myths, his Roman name is Neptune and he was one of the original 6 gods sired by the titans Cronos and Rhea. In the birth of the gods myth he was swallowed whole as a baby by his father Cronos. Later on Poseidon and his 4 other siblings Hera, Hestia, Hades, and Demeter were freed by their youngest brother Zeus who later became the King of the Gods. Supposedly he is married to Demeter, but like the other gods he has been known to stray. Poseidon is the god of the oceans and carries a Trident. He's also involoved in the birth of Aphrodite myth. He sent waves to guide her seashell to the shore. There's also the myth where he tries to win the city that is currently know as Athens away from Athena, he eventually loses though and instead becomes a patron to Troy, which sadly later on also becomes destroyed in The Illiad. A Greek hero that Poseidon was angry at would be in the Odessey, Odysseus ended up blinding a cyclopes, one of Poseidon's sons, and for that Poseidon unleashes a storm that dooms Odysseus to sail endlessly. Although in an act of mercy, when the crew was thrown overboard they were turned into dolphins.\nPS Aphrodite was actually married to the smith of the Gods known as Hephaestus.

The only known original references to the island of Atlantis are in the Plato's dialogs Timaeus and Critias. The dialogues are conversations between Socrates, Hermocrates, Timeaus, and Critias.

Well, I have studied mythology from a lot of various religions and the story of a great flood seems to be the one mythological story that is universal (the characters are always different and sometimes they don't build a boat, they climb a certain mountain or hill as instructed by the divine with all the creatures, but it is always basically the same story).\n\nScholars say that the oldest version of the story, atleast that is recorded, would be the one told in Hinduism about a man named Manu who finds a fish in a stream while bathing there. It is little and the fish asks Manu to take it home for safety to help it. So Manu does and the fish continues to outgrow its home and is transfered from one container to the next before finally being so large that Manu finally takes the fish to the ocean to set it free (not sure why the fish went from being a fresh water fish to a salt water fish, but it's a mythological story so let's just accept the story for what it is). Anyways, the fish thanks Manu and then tells Manu that there is going to be a great flood because waters from the North are coming and the ocean is going to rise because the waters of the North along with the rains will cause there levels to rise higher than normal. He advises Manu to gather up two of each animal and two of every seed (plants are included in the Hindu version) and to put them on a boat. Manu builds the boat and does as he is asked and just as the fish predicted, the waters start to rise. Well after a month of the ocean rising, the waters start to recede. The fish returns, but this time with a horn on its head. He calls out to Manu to tie a rope to the horn on the fish and so Manu does. The fish then toes the boat to the top of a nearby mountain and tells Manu to let everything go (the mountain in the story is not specified). Manu, having realized that the fish is God (the aspect of Vishnu) offers praise to God and is grateful for the help. (It is important to remember that in this story God is not punishing mankind or nature, but instead that the flooding is caused by natural things. the waters of the north are thought to refer to the ice melting and this along with the rains, implying that it is the normal cycle of rains, is what made the waters rise. Thus in this story God is preserving all life not punishing it. It's important to remember that Hindus believe that life reincarnates so more than two of the animals and seeds; male and female; would have been sufficient just to repopulate that type of creature and the others that may have perished would have been reincarnated. A bit different than the later versions, the Biblical version, where the flood is a punishment from God and only two of every animal are also spared; apparently even the animals were being bad??). This story is in one of the oldest Puranas of Hinduism (the only books older are the Vedas and the Upanishads). \n\nNow, many scholars believe there may be older versions of the story. However, being a practicing Hindu there is one aspect I can't help but overlook and that is that when Hinduism tells a mythological story then it isn't to be believed that the things actually happened just as the story is telling you. In fact, most Hindu mythological stories have a deeper meaning to them. The symbolism of the story represents aspects of our inner self and all the various symbolism is describing things about ourself and the processes we go through on our spiritual journey. That said, the flood may have in fact never happened and that the flood may be a symbolic tool used in the story (along with Manu, the fish and all the containers...because the story makes a point to describe all the containers which seems excedingly boring to read actually and sort of over makes the case that the fish is getting bigger). \n\nFrom Hindu India, the story then changed when it entered Zoroastrian Persia (Zoroaster is actually mentioned in the Hindu Vedas as a teacher that later it say

Most of the 'myth' we have of Antigone is from Sophocles' play by the same name.  In fact, it seems that perhaps Sophocles invented her and her name.  She does not appear in any other Greek literature before him.\n\nFor a synopsis of her story see the Perseus link below.\n\nFor a very detailed discussion of her and her myth (as well as any others, consult T. Gantz, Early Greek Myth: A Guide to Literary and Artistic Sources (usually 2 vols, but 1 vol available).\n\n\nThomas Talboy, PhD, Director\nUbiquity International, LLC\nExperience. Explore.

One of the basic themes in ancient greek tragedy is that the life threads of human beings are controlled by the gods.\nHecabe ~ Antigone: importance of burial; centrality of family relationships\nAntigone: personal/family relationships (Polyneices as brother) cross with social/political relationships (Polyneices as enemy of city). \nWomen as victims - Antigone, Polyxena, Hecabe (though n.b. context of male/male violence)\nMale antagonists - Creon, Polymestor\nMale victims of female violence: Polymestor, Heracles - in the latter case, the female is a goddess. \nfriendship vs enmity, loyalty vs betrayal in Heracles-Philoctetes, Greeks-Philoctetes\nethics\nlove\nloss\npride\nabuse of power
