Europa Europa is an icy moon of the planet Jupiter. It is the fourth largest moon of Jupiter, and the sixth largest moon in the solar system, being slightly smaller than Earth's moon. Europa, along with three other moons of Jupiter, Io, Ganymede, and Callisto, was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei, and has been studied by humans using telescopes and space probes since the 20th century. Europa is believed to have a global ocean of water with a rocky seafloor. If this ocean floor is proven true, Europa
through his homemade telescope when he came across Jupiter. He notice four objects circling Jupiter and described them as "four fixed stars, totally invisible by their smallness" it was there were he discovered four large moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, which underwent several name change but are now known as the Galilean moons. This was the first time celestial bodies were seen circling an object other then Earth. Jupiter spins faster than any other planet, taking 10 hours to complete a turn on

to a woman who slighted her mother, Artemis has no care for cutting down three innocent young women. Another illustration of this complex personality is seen in the myth of Callisto, in which a young and devout follower of Artemis is raped by Jupiter, and in doing so loses her purity. Ashamed to tell Artemis of the event Callisto tries to hide what occurred but unfortunately discovers she is with child. When this is discovered rather than try to help or understand what occurred Artemis rejects her:
Showman, “More recent observations of water ice on the surfaces of the outer three moons led to the inference that the satellite compositions range from mostly silicate rock at Io to 60% silicate rock and 40% volatile ices (by mass) at Ganymede and Callisto” ( 77). The Voyager flybys of Jupiter in 1979 exposed indication of extensive geological activity like Europa's fractured terrains, which probably result from tidal heating and bending... ... middle of paper ... ...nal Geographic.

This liquid water, in combination with a rocky silicate sea floor and radiolytically produce surface oxidants, may provide for a chemically rich ocean that would be considered habitable. While the surface of Europa may contain clues about the composition of an interior ocean, debate still continues about the surface’s chemistry and how exogenous radiation processing and endogenous oceanic emplacement play a role on this moon. One way of understanding Europa is determining if the external composition
accomplish what they want. They don't think about the people that are hurt along the way. In Ovid's collection of stories, Tales From Ovid, he shows through his characters how a selfish person thinks how far they will go to getting what they want. In “Callisto and Arcas”, Jove sees a beautiful huntress and wants her for himself so he rapes her without caring what his jealous wife would do to her. In “The Rape of Proserpina”, The goddess Aphrodite wants to take over the underworld since she has already
that starts with Zeus and Callisto, branches to the daughters of Stheneboa and ends with Heracles and Auge. The narcissism and derogation begins with Zeus and Callisto. Simpson begins the telling Zeus and Callisto’s relationship by informing the reader that Callisto hunted with Artemis and had promised to remain a virgin, but Zeus “fell in love with her” and raped her and did so in the form of Artemis (Simpson 167-168).
these women were Callisto and Semele. Callisto was a follower of Artemis, and being one of Artemis’ followers requires one to stay a virgin. Knowing she would not accept him as a lover, Zeus came to her in the form of Artemis. Transforming back into himself, Zeus then took advantage of Callisto. Artemis soon kicked Callisto out after discovering she was pregnant with Zeus’ child. Hera took this as her chance to torture Callisto. The goddess turned Callisto into a bear. Callisto, in the form of a
Callisto also uses her stars and moons system to form and develop her relationships. She believes that, as a moon, she should be around stars so she can borrow their light while simultaneously caring for them and letting them use her. Her system suggests that stars need someone who is in the background and can be used when they need so they have freedom to shine and moons can fufill this role. Callisto actively seeks out relationships with people whom
themes differ and the different paths that they branch down to create a more complex relationship. It is made explicitly clear the power the gods possess, along with their penchant for transforming people and this is adamantly clear in the tale of Callisto; there are multiple instances of transformation within this tale, all for different reasons. The
There were two major rape narratives in the Metamorphoses: one in Book I, when Jupiter rapes the nymph, Io; and one in Book II, when Jupiter rapes Diana’s follower, Callisto. After the first instance, Ovid sympathizes considerably with Io. First, he addresses her with the title “fleeing girl” (Ovid 9), which gives her the characterization of being innocent and unwilling towards Jupiter. In addition, after the rape, Io is turned into a heifer then taken away from her home to be kept in captivity by

However they displayed the errors of society differently. Both of them writes in realistic style, which is a literary style that gives audience the impression of recording or reflecting faithfully an actual way of life. In realistic
situation in Metamorphoses showed the differences of lust and how it affected individuals. In the specific tale of Apollo, he handled lust negatively as he fell in love with someone that would not love him back. On the other hand, Jove lusted over Callisto because of her stunning appearance. Additionally, Myrrha was in love with her father and was unable to resist that feeling. Lastly, Tereus sexually assaulted Philomela with force because of lust. Each of theses stories showed the different sides
Artemis Artemis was born of Leto and Zeus, on the island of Delos, later helping with the delivery of her twin brother, Apollo. Some sources state that her actual birthplace is not Delos, but an island called Ortygia. Although the two islands could be one and the same, it is not clear. In helping with the birth of her brother Artemis fulfilled her role as a goddess of childbirth (which she shares with Eileithyia and Hera). She is the goddess of chastity, the hunt and the moon, too. But I'll get
Authors tend to put their own opinions on the subject in their literary works; some do it subtly and others prefer to impose their opinion on their readers. When the author is retelling the history of a civilization, they often criticize or support the government or ruling authority. Both Virgil’s epic, the Aeneid and Ovid’s Metamorphoses are considered a commentary on the Roman Empire and specifically the reign of Augustus. Virgil uses minor details as well as Aeneas’ deteriorating humanity to criticize
Artemis: Goddess of Light and Protector of the Vulnerable Artemis is the Greek Goddess of the hunt, wild animals, the wilderness, female fertility, and the moon. Out of all the Olympian goddesses Artemis is the only one to actually have a real mother. She is the daughter of Zeus, the ruler of all the Greek Gods, and Leto a Titaness. Zeus was involved in an affair with Leto and secretly impregnated her. Leto was forced to give birth to the babies while being chased around by a python sent by Zeus’
it is the story of Callisto translated meaning the Moon which is a fitting transition as it starts with the ending of the story of the Sun. Ovid uses the destruction caused by Phaethon after using this fathers chariot and winged horses to prove his paternal parentage. An important narrative within at least the first two books of the Metamorphoses must be the repetitive and increasingly disturbing nature of the sexual attacks upon Diana’s nymphs. The story of Callisto brings about the forth
Hera As the wife of zeus, Hera is the queen of all gods and the goddess of marriage. Her parents were titans and her father did try to destroy Hera and her siblings, but her younger brother set them free. Also, Hera, in fact, is zeus’s sister and his wife. Because of this, Hera had three children, or three olympians. Hera is also a harsh goddess, and for those who displeased her, she would send them her wrath. Hera’s family Hera was “the daughter of Cronus and Rhea”. Cronus was the youngest
Ancient Greece is known for having worshiped many gods. Gods in Ancient Greece represented many factors in everyday life, such as love, harvest, wisdom, sea, etc. Among all of them, there was the goddess Artemis. Artemis was the goddess of the chastity, virginity, hunt, forests, hills, the moon, and archery. Homer refers to her as “Artemis Agroteca, Potnia Theron:”, "Artemis of the wildland, Mistress of Animals". She was the daughter of Zeus and Leto, although Arcadians believe she was the daughter
