News had spread that the princesses had gone missing! Everyone felt the pain of losing the heart and joy of the kingdome. The king especially, so he demanded huntsmen to find his daughters, every huntsman in Germany came to the castle to volunteer to rescue the princesses. ********* The girls were screaming, crying, and yelling for help but there was no answer. It was getting late, the light grew darker. Something was approaching them. They screamed. No answer. Suddenly, Erigone felt a cold breeze on her neck or maybe it was someone’s breath. She opened her eyes and there it was… The next thing they knew, they were in a sak flying over Lake Yiki by a big Gargoyle. …show more content…
“Hurry up you useless piece of lard” commanded a small troll that was sitting on the gargoyle’s shoulder.
“Help! Help! Please! Someone help us! Please!” pleaded Rhea “Shhhhhhh! You don’t want them to hear us!” reminded Athena “Besides, it is no use we are done for. We are toast.” “Yum, toast.” craved Rhea Erigone however, being the only one with any common sense, sat up and leaned toward her sisters and said, “Listen, stay still I will untie our feet and we will fall but we can swim away. Ok?” The girls agreed and were off. However, they weren’t free for long until the troll noticed they were gone and sent the gargoyle off to find and capture them again. ********* Back at the castle, King Charlemagne was attempting to find a huntsmen to save his daughters. “Name, business, and experience.” said the king “I need to make sure you are the best huntsman I can
hire.” “My name is Peter Waiss. I am here to find the three princesses and return the home safely. I have little experience, your majesty.” stated the first huntsman. “I am Henry Waiss, I as well am here to return your three young daughters. I have a great deal of experience, your highness.” said the second huntsman. “Good evening your majesty! I am Frederick Waiss and I am here to rescue your beautiful daughters, but I want something in return. I would like to marry your oldest daughter Edna, we will become the next king and queen of Germany. I have more experience than both of my brothers combined.” claimed the third huntsman. “Oh my, it seems as though I have made my decision. The Waiss brothers will be rescuing my daughters and shall be rewarded as necessary.” announced King Cleomenes. So, the hunstmen packed up their horses and set off to find the princesses. They searched and searched and finally they found an old wooden cottage that they could stay in n for the night. But something else was in there, it was the gargoyle, the troll and the princesses. As the brothers looked through the windows, Frederick made eye contact with Erigone and immediately felt in love with her. This love would soon bring them together. They waited until everyone was asleep and snuck into the cottage. The brothers woke up the princesses. “Shhh, it’s ok we are here to bring you back to the castle. You can trust us.” they explained. But that wasn’t what happened with Frederick and Erigone. “Hey wake up princess, wake up!” Frederick whispered “I am here with my brothers to save you.” When Erigone finally woke up she screamed with fear. “AAAAAAHHHH!” she was not prepared to find a strange man standing above her when she awoke. “Shhh princess Erigone it’s okay I am here to save you and your sis…” Frederick reassured her. But it was too late, the troll and gargoyle had woken from her screams and were not happy. “Oh no” “Run!” yelled the the two younger huntsmen as they left the princesses and ran out into the woods. Frederick however, was not a coward like his brothers, he was brave and strong. He protected the princesses and fought off the evil gargoyle, he launched the troll into the woods with his bare hands. “Is everyone alright?” he asked. “Yes, thank you for saving our lives.” answered the princesses. After a long journey home they reached the castle. The king was delighted to see his daughters again so he held a ball. A ball where Frederick would propose to Erigone and ask for her hand in marriage. “Who is responsible for bringing my daughters home safely?” said the king. “That would be us. Yes we did all the work, we even fought off a gargoyle.” lied the younger brothers. “That is a lie!” yelled Frederick. “I did all that not you fools!” “He is telling the truth father!” said the princesses So, the two danced together at the ball. Soon after, Frederick proposed and everyone lived happily ever after. The End

“Being sister and brother means being there for each other” (thefreshquotes.com). Siblings are one’s most important relative because they’re basically an irreplaceable friend that will love and care for one another forever. People’s relationship with their siblings is emotionally powerful and critically important for their everyday life. Antigone believes that her siblings are her most significant relatives because they can’t be replaced, unlike a husband or children, because her parents are deceased; she will do anything for them, even go against the rules and put her own life in danger. In the play Antigone by Sophocles, the character Antigone can be seen as immoral because of her defying Creon’s laws, however, she receives sympathy for the injustices that were done to her brother, Polyneices, of him not being provided with a proper burial.

The four lovers run away to the woods outside of Athens. In the woods, a world of fairies dwell. The fairy king, Oberon, stumbles across Demetrius and Helena while Helena is begging Demetrius to love her. Since Oberon is having some problems with love on his own, he tries to help Helena with her unfortunate situation. He sends his jester, Puck, to use a flower that, if its juice is dropped onto someone who’s sleeping’s eyes, will make the person fall madly in love with the first person they lie their eyes on. “Take thou some of it, and seek through this grove; A sweet Athenian lady is in love with a disdainful youth; anoint his eyes; but do it when the next thing he espies may be the lady. Thou shalt know the man by the Athenian garments he hath on.”(64) Puck, following Oberon’s orders, finds Lysander and Hermia instead of Demetrius and Helena. Anointing Lysander’s eyes, he leaves, thinking he did his bidding. Helena finds Lysander sleeping, and, wi...
Thebes was invaded by Oedipus’ son, Polynices, and his followers. As Oedipus predicted in the previous play, Polynices and his brother, Eteocles, killed each other during battle. Creon, the king of Thebes, ruled that Eteocles should have a proper burial with honors and Polynices, the invader, be left unburied to rot.
In the story of Antigone, Oedipus has already died, his two sons. Polyneices and Eteocles, left to contend for the throne of Thebes. In their contention for the throne, the two brothers slay one another, leaving Creon once again to be the acting regent of Thebes. With this power, Creon declares that Polyneices must be left to rot on the battlefield, the highest disgrace to any Greek. Antigone, daughter of Oedipus, is left torn between state of family, and in the end, chooses family over state. Disregarding Creon 's edict with grave danger to herself, Antigone ventures to bury the body of Polyneices, and thus begins her adventure. Antigone is truly a tragic hero, marked by her station as son of Oedipus, and her proud and perhaps arrogant

In Sophocles’ Antigone, Antigone saw her action of burying her brother as a just one. It may not have been just in the eyes of Creon and the people of Thebes, but she was not concerned with the laws that mortals had made. Antigone saw the divine laws of the gods to be much more important than those of mortals. She felt that if she died while upholding the laws of the gods, that her afterlife would be better than if she had not. Our lives on this earth are so short, that to see a good afterlife over the horizon will make people go against the laws of humans.
In an attempt to reassure and comfort her, Athena appears as a “glimmering phantom” and says these comforting words, “Take heart, and don’t be afraid. The guide who goes with him is one many men pray for to stand at their side, a powerful ally- Pallas Athena. And she pities you in your grief, for it is she who sent me to tell you this” (Homer 342). There are many motivators for Athena in The Odyssey.
