Before I do some Archetypes on movies, I would like to show you all who my favorite and least favorite god/ goddess are.
My favorite:
Athena, or Minerva if you prefer, is the daughter of Zeus,and Zeus alone. No mother bore her, just Zeus. In her story it says that she sprang from Zeus' head , full-grown and in full armor. She is a fierce and ruthless battle-goddess who defends the state and home land from outside enemies. She was the inventor of the bridle, who first tamed horses for men to use. She was Zeus' favorite child. He trusted her to carry the awful aegis, his buckler, and his devastating weapon, the thunderbolt. The word most people use to describe her is "grey-eyed". Of the three virgin goddesses, she was the chief.

In the picture, we can she her clothes,weapons, and shield. Her clothes are white, which symbolizes purity and peace, but her shield and weapons are orange which symbolizes pride and ambition. Also on her shield, you can see that she has snakes. They are green, which symbolizes death.
My questions to you are;
Is it ok that Zeus, from all the children he has, has a favorite child?
And...
Does it disturb you that Zeus had a child, all by himself? Is this possible?
In Greek mythology, we see Hades who is the third brother among the Olympians. He who rules over the underworld and death. In his story, it shows that he was also called him
My least favorite:
In Greek mythology, we see Hades who is the third brother among the Olympians. He who rules over the underworld and death. In his story, it shows that he was also called himPluto, the God of Wealth, of the precious metals hidden in the earth. He had a far-farmed cap or helmet which made whoever wore it invisible. It was rare that he ever left
underworld, or hell if you prefer, to visit Olympus or the earth and he wasn't urged to do so, he wasn't a welcomed visitor. A terrible, but not evil, god. His wife was Persephone (Proserpine) who he had carried away from the earth to make his queen of the underworld.
In this picture you can she Persephone's reaction to being taken away from the upper world and down to the lower by Hades.
By carring away persphore like an object, I see a relation to "House on Mango Street". In this book, they talk about how Esperanza's grandmother was talking away against her will like a "fancy chandelier" and was forced to marry her grandfather. In Greek Mythology it shows Hades taking away Persephone against her will as well. Making her his queen. In the end, of both Persephone's and Esperanza's grandmother's stories, it shows that they both are very unhappy because of the men in their lives.
My question is;
Does this prove that women are vulnerable towards men?
