Homer’s “The Odyssey” was written around the year 750 B.C. and in addition to providing a great tale about the adventures of the king Odysseus, it also reveals aspects and qualities of the ancient civilization in Greece at that time. While Greece was recovering from the Trojan War, the journeys of Odysseus reveal to the readers that the ancients Gods and myths played a major role in everyday life and recollection of events in addition to the admiration of the qualities of hospitality, honor, athletic ability, story telling, organization and song within the everyday lives of the Greeks while qualities such as pride and arrogance were abhorred.

Barry Powell's "Classical Myth": Mythological Goddesses And Dominance
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Whether intentional or by happenstance, mythology places goddesses at the bottom of the totem pole with regard to their status as living beings. As a means by which to control the fairer sex, mythological gods have historically created a hostile environment in which goddesses are forced to exist. Hesiod's Pandora is but one instance when a woman's beauty is employed as a ruse for death, disease and treachery. Clearly, one of the most prominent literary motifs of mythology is that of power. When determining who truly exercises power in archaic society, one first must study the ancient societies and what was important in their existence. Indeed, it can readily be argued that patriarchy ruled ancient Greece, inasmuch as the ancestral ties associated with the male gender were as strong as steel. However, not all gods were deemed acceptable to adopt a position of power, a concept that is readily apparent within the literary boundaries of Hesiod's other mythological tales.

Psyche believes her husband to be human only to find out he is a winged God. Bella believes the Beast to be a beast until it is revealed he is actually human. Both heroines end up loving the “beasts” despite their appearances and both end up having to experience transformations in order to be with the men they love: Psyche becomes a winged God to be with Cupid and the Beast becomes a man to be with Bella (Beauty).
