    Powerful and harsh are the gods of ancient Greece. They are to be respected, worshipped and feared in order to live a peaceful and long life. Hesiod represents these gods in similar but contrasting ways through the tale of Prometheus and Pandora in his poems, Works and Days and The Theogony.

In these poems we examine the gods through the eyes of the man working for a living and through the eyes of the gods fighting for their place among themselves in Olympus.…

Cyrus, King of Ansan, he pronounced his name to be king all over the world”.

When Cyrus and his army entered, the people of Babylonia embraced Cyrus as their new King and it was their chance of a new life that was previously mistreated by Nabonidus, who during his reign destroyed temples in Babylonia and other Mesopotamian areas like Elam and what would eventually be Assyria.…
