Since this is based on Shakespear's "Julius Caesar," I am guessing, talk about the development on how Brutus changed from trusting Caesar to eventually stabbing him in the back. It would be important to talk about Cassius in the sense that he persuaded Brutus slowly but successfully. Go over the importance of the relationship between Brutus, Cassius, and Caesar and how they changed throughout the play.\n\nThat's what I get from it at least. Take a look at Sparknotes.com for help on specific details of the plot you can use to your advantange on this paper.

The most common metamorphosis in ancient mythology is a god or goddess changing themselves (or their appearance, anyway) into an animal of some sort, generally in order to fool a human.  Some of the stories are fascinating, like Leda and the swan, where Jupiter morphed himself into a swan, and Leda gave birth to an egg from which sprang the twins Castor and Pollux.  Apparently he managed to transform some of her basic functions too, for her to give birth to an egg!

Yes and no. Here is my academic, working-on- my-master's -in-mythology answer: Anything can be both oral history and mythology. For that matter, anything can be hard-fact history and mythology. The academic definition of a myth is a story that gives significance to a religion or a culture, *whether true, false, or unproven*. The entire Bible, though much is historical fact, can be classified as mythology, as can the documented details of Siddhartha Gautama's life, the writings of Confucius, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster's global warming chart.

My great-aunt once wrote an entire book about Greek mythology in a sort of story-telling form. It was a very informative book, and it helped me stay aware of Greek and Roman references more often. People (including me) often speak of the weather as being "hotter than Hades" as a more polite way of saying "hotter than hell." Hades was the Greek god of the underworld, which would be compared to a Christian concept of hell. Companies still use these references even today in shoes (like Nike), sporting equipment, technological equipment, flowers (think FTD Florist using Hermes as their symbol), and cleaning supplies (think Ajax). As an English major, I wrote at least two poems with mythological references. I love the musical "My Fair Lady" which is related to "Pygmalion" and the old myth of the man who created his ideal woman. If you watch Disney's "Monsters Inc." there is one part where the little one-eyed monster Mike is contemplating how to smuggle the little girl Boo back into the company, and he uses a Greek reference to the Trojan horse, but dismisses it as "Too Greek!" Children would probably not understand what he said, but those of us who have studied mythology would. I do not use mythology as a replacement for religion, but it helps to understand historical references and symbolism around us.

The temples in Greece were made to honor various Greek gods and goddesses, and were designed around statues of the god or goddess as a rule.  You can read all about the Greek gods and goddesses in Bulfinch's Greek and Roman Mythology, which is available from Dover Press.

There are a lot of Roman temples in Europe-- in England, France and Italy. However, the most beautiful temple, Pantheon is in Rome. The temple has a lot lot of Spanish, African, French and British visitors and tourists.\n\nIn Rome, the Concordiae and Vestae temples are also landmarks. There are a lot of things to see and do in Rome. You can watch for the ruins or the statues, or you can practice your Roman vocabulary or eat good food. The party goes and goes all the week, not only on weekends.\n\nThe Goddess Ceres, mother of Proserpina had a lot of concerns. She was expecting a daughter. Without the aid of the Goddess the field were not raising. Then, Mercurius, Messenger of the Gods, hasted to Pluto. There was a debate: Proserpina was to star six months with Ceres and six with Pluto. When Prosepina is on Earth, the crops are plenty, when she is underground, the crops are not plenty.

July 12, 100 BC – March 15, 44 BC\n\nHe was a Roman military and political leader. He played an important part in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. His conquest of Gaul extended the Roman world all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, with the first Roman invasion of Britannia. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest military geniuses of all time, as well as a brilliant politician and one of the ancient world's strongest leaders. In 42 BC, two years after his death, the Roman Senate officially proclaimed him as one of the Roman deities.\n\nCaesar fought in a civil war which left him undisputed master of the Roman world, and began extensive reforms of Roman society and government. He was proclaimed dictator for life, and he heavily centralized the government of the Republic. Caesar's friend Marcus Brutus conspired with others to assassinate him, to restore the Republic and because they were afraid that Julius might try to make himself a king. This dramatic assassination took place on the Ides of March (March 15th) in 44 BC.

Greek mythology distinguishes itself from the others in many reasons, but the most interesting fact to me is that these gods we´re not in an unreachable plane. They descended among the humans and participated directly in their choices and actions, deciding the path of history for them in numerous cases.
