Each choice would predetermine the next one, and although man could strike off in a new direction at any time by making a choice, his actions would still inevitably lead to his fate. In short, one’s choices affected little more than the where and when of one’s predetermined destiny, but due to the fact that the individual possessed the freedom of choice, the Greeks believed that he bore all responsibility for his actions, and ultimately for the realization of his fate, as we ...

So Iocaste and laios go on living worry free thinking that they outsmarted the gods and avoided their hor ...

... were honoring the Native American culture. According to the book In Her Own Image, "women artists have been silenced, lost hidden, or neglected through the centuries, that is in large part because they have lacked an audience aware of their existence or willing to consider their work". (page xxv) Although that statement is true, I don't think it ever occurred to the author that maybe Native Americans do not want nor do they feel the need an for audience in order for their art to be of value.

This comes form the Anglo-Saxon word "cnyht" (De La Bere 35). The idea of a knight being a servant does not fit most people's ideas of knighthood or chivalry, but in essence that is what a knight is. A knight's duty is always to his king. The duality of these roles is what makes chivalry unique. (Barber 9). So where did chivalry get its start? Many believe it started with the barbaric Huns or the Roman Empire. Both civilizations had soldiers who can be called knights, but t ...
