Note: These characters did not exist in the odyssey by Homer but in the Illiad.  My memory of the movie is a little faded, but I believe this is what you are referring to...\n\nArgument = Who is the fairest of the three goddesses?\n\nHera: Zeus' wife and the mother of Ares and Hephaistus. Hera supports the Greeks in the Iliad, since Paris did not choose her as the fairest goddess. \n\nAthena: The daughter of Zeus, Athena had no mother but rather sprang (fully armed) from Zeus' head. Athena supports the Greeks in the Iliad because she was not chosen by Paris as the fairest goddess.\n\nAphrodite: The daughter of Zeus, Aphrodite was born from the ocean's foam. She is the goddess of love and beauty. Paris chose her has the fairest of the three goddesses. She in turn gave Helen to Paris and (obviously) supports the Trojans in the Iliad.

Acually, you should watch the movie but read this if you need to...\n 1) What do you mean??\n 2) Gluttony, I guess, ate Lyra but Dante took over Lyra's body (sorry if I spoiled it for you).\n 3) Envy went onto the other side of the Gate into Europe and killed Ed's dad (there's alot more-watch the movie..)\n 4) No, wait, he did get his libs ripped off because of the weird thingies in the Gate...\n 5) What do you mean? Okay, in the least possible way of confusion, I'm going to try to explain the Gate to you. There are two sides of the Gate. One side there is a world in which alchemy exsists and where Ed and Al were born and the other side there is a world in which is like what we used to live in-no alchemy exsisted. For ever person on one side of the Gate, there is a person who looks like that person on the other side that looks like that other person. For example, Edward was transported by Dante (in Lyra's body) onto the other side of the Gate with Rose's baby. His original body was stuck inside the Gate and he took over the other Edward's body for a while-until that Edward died and he went out of the Gate. There was another Al on the other side. I hope you get it now...\n 6) Al's memories came back when he grew up-he was found as a 10 year old boy when he transmuted Ed because he offered the four years they spent together for Ed's soul and body.\n 7) Watch the movie, he goes to the other side for a while meets Winry-then goes back.\n 8) Auto mail works on both sides.\n 9) He was taken in by Winry and given Ed'a auto-mail they perpared for him.\n\nSorry if some of this is not accurate...I don't have a good memory...

Cinde-fu**ing-rella... oh, sorry... PRETTY WOMAN. Let me refresh your memory with 2 of the best parts of the movie.\n\nVivian: I just wanna know who it works out for. You give me one example of somebody that we know that it happened for. \n[They start talking over each other.] \nKit: Name someone? You want me to name someone? \nVivian: Yeah, you know a person that it's worked for. \nKit: You want me to, like, give you a name, or something? \nVivian: Yeah, I'd like a name. \n[Kit puts her hands to her temples.] \nKit: Oh, God, the pressure of a name… \n[After some hard thinking, an inspired Kit throws her hands out.] \nKit: Cinde-fu**ing-rella! \n\nAnd also:\n[Edward, arriving in a white limo and armed with an umbrella and roses, climbs Vivian's fire escape to meet her.] \nEdward: So what happened after he climbed up the tower and rescued her? \nVivian: She rescues him right back.

Do you mean the King of Ithaca?  As in Homer's Odessey, Odysseus, and the Trojan War?  I've never seen a movie about Odysseus with a character by the name of DIMIDIOCE.  Sorry.

The Good And Bad Characteristics Of Odysseus \n\nAn individual's characteristics are the key to their behavior. Homer's The Odyssey takes place about 700BC in the Mediterranean, near Greece. The epic tells of a man who left his home twenty years earlier to fight in the Trojan War. His mission now is to make his way home to Ithaca. Odysseus shows good and bad traits throughout the epic that influence his way home. \n\nThe courage and wisdom of Odysseus help him survive through the whole epic. For example, Odysseus kills the Cyclops while the giant is asleep, even though the monster ate two men minutes before (P.110). Odysseus has courage to stand up for his beliefs and never lets the opinion of others keep him from doing what is right. Some think Odysseus shows his courage throughout the epic because he is proud and does not want to leave any job unfinished. Furthermore, Odysseus by plugs the sailors' ears with wax when going through the Sirens, whose sweet singing lures sailors to there doom (p. 141). Odysseus often hesitates before acting, because he uses reason to evaluate the situation, which saves him and his men many times. Odysseus knows that there is no progress without the wisdom to back it up. Using courage and wisdom throughout life allows a person to see greatness in life. \n\nAs great as he was, Odysseus still had some weaknesses, most importantly that of his pride and sensualness, that prolongs his voyage back to Ithaca. This is clearly evident in the episode on the Cyclopes' Island when Odysseus and his men are safely away from the island when Odysseus brags about his exploits making Polythemus hurl giant boulders almost sinking the ship (P. 114). This incident hurt Odysseus more than just losing a few men, because Poseidon makes his travel home very long and arduous. This proud characteristic shows Odysseus has a lack of respect for others and that he is selfish. Furthermore, Odysseus stays with Circe for one year before his men remind him of home (p. 116). This characteristic of sensualness demonstrates that Odysseus is unable to resist temptation. This hinders his mission; setting him back in his journey. Odysseus's weaknesses in life downsize him, making himself less powerful. \n\nThe story portrays how an individual's characteristics can affect the outcomes of their life. Nonetheless, Odysseus survives all that happens to him. His courage, wisdom, intelligence and endurance enable him to come through each and every difficulty and bring him home safely.

The book is generally considered to be the dawn of the modern Western literature.\n\nWhile eastern civilizations (notably Chinese and Persian) had written records and stories, Odyssey recorded a legend and a fable at a time when not much was recorded and written down other than official state histories.\n\nMoreover, the clever use of wit, hyperbole and structure made the work of Homer a truly visionary piece of art.

Similarities between "O Brother Where Art Thou" and "The Odyssey":\n* The names of George Clooney and Holly Hunter's characters (Ulysses & Penelope)\n* one-eyed Big Dan as the Cyclops (blinded with a burning pole)\n* the three girls by the river as the Sirens\n* Ulysses' wife marrying someone else when he comes home\n* the old-man disguise\n* the changing of one of Ulysses' companions into an animal\n* the Baptists as the Lotus-eaters\n* the Ku Klux Klan has a rank of Grand (or Exalted) Cyclops\n* they catch a ride on a hand-pumped railcar that is being operated by a blind prophet, who tells them that they will not find the treasure they seek. The prophet character in the Odyssey was Teiresias, whom Odysseus consulted in the underworld when he needed information on how to get home again\n* the movie theater scene as the trip through the Underworld.\n* Odysseus nearly drowned, but clings to a piece of wood.\n* Odysseus and Everett both reveal themselves by performing an act no one else could: Odysseus strings a special bow and fires it through seven rings; Everett sings "Man of Constant Sorrow" as only the leader of the Soggy Bottom Boys can.\n* "Pappy's" given name, Menelaus, is the same as the king who declared war on Troy in the first place.\n* the Latin equivalent of the Greek name Odysseus is Ulysses.\n* "Sing in me O Muse... ", the line at the beginning of the film, is the first line of the Odyssey.\n* the killing of the cattle of Helios by the "fools" in the Odyssey is mirrored by Baby Face Nelson shooting the cows.\n* every time Ulysses falls asleep something bad happens.\n* the song which plays throughout the movie is called "Man of Constant Sorrow", Odysseus means "man who is in constant pain and sorrow".\n* a man of constant sorrow is also a description of Odysseus.\n* Pappy's opposition for Governor's has the first name Homer.\n* when Ulysses first meets Big Dan in the restaurant there is a statue of Homer in the background.\n* There is a "Blind Bard" who pays the boys to "sing into his can". Homer was often (and probably erroneously) thought to be a blind bard who told his stories verbally to his students.

it wasn't the words that were important.  It was the melody.\n\nBut for a man who has been at sea for as long as the guys in the Odyssey were, just the idea of a woman would have been enough to get them to the siren's island.

wow, that's inflamatory, and i wouldn't be surprised if this went away in a hurry, but the Ancient Greeks held that it was for men to be rational, and women emotional.  Seperate areas of expertise.  Perhaps you should get some tips on sensitivity from one of the females of the species, in return for your fine figuring skills.

WOW I'm learning about odysseus too and what I think is that he would have the same feelings he had when eurylochus(one of his men)said this or something like this:that he had the anger of drawing his sword and cutting his head off and he did not care who was beside him, also he said this"kinsmen or no kinsmen"(which means I think brother)and thats all I remember.

I will be very brief.  Hercules, the great Greek hero (Heracles was his Greek name), was driven mad by the goddess Hera, and in his madness he slew his entire family.  In atonement he was made to perform twelve heroic tasks, imposed upon him by Eurystheus, king of Tyrins.\n\n1. Slay the Nemean Lion, a beast with impenetrable skin. He choked the beast to death.\n\n2. Slay the Hydra, a moster with many heads.  As he cut off each head, two grew in its place.  His friend Iolaus cauterized each would with a torch so they could not regenerate.\n\n3. Slay the Erymanthian Boar.  He slew a lot of things, come to think of it.\n\n4. Catch the Cerynitian Hind, a deer with golden antlers.  He chased it for a year.\n\n5. Scare away the Stymphalian Birds.  They were really mean birds.\n\n6. Clean the Augean Stables in one day.  He diverted a river and let the flood do the hard work.\n\n7. Capture the Cretan Bull.  He let it go at Marathon.\n\n8. Tame the Horses of Diomedes.  They ate human flesh.\n\n9. Retrieve the Girdle of the Amazons.  He ended up fighting a war to win a corset.\n\n10. Capture the Cattle of Geryon, a three headed giant.\n\n11. Fetch the Golden Apples of the Hesperides.  For this he had to travel to the end of the earth.\n\n12. Descend into the Underworld and return with Cerberus, the three headed dog.\n\nHeracles had tons more adventures, but I think I'll let you look those up yourself. vale.
