with the last sentence (the roman and greek poets....) it is the third topic in my essay. all of them show the similarities and differences. i was asking you guys a while back what were the similarities between roman and greek mythology and the only thing i could get was the similar gods (which i already had) so i added the AND DIFFERENCES part because i was stumped. but now it seems my whole essay is falling apart.... i need help to sew it all back together. :\

Since most of the Greek deities were adopted by the Romans, it would make sense that there would be many similarities and some differences between the Greek and roman poets and mythology. Some of the names and characteristics of certain Greek gods can be compared to the Roman gods. The only animals are those of Greek mythology because the Romans had no creatures in their mythology. The Roman and Greek poets are the only difference because of the content they write in their play and poems.

sorry. i have a deadline at 1 pm and its 12:50. :(

the culture is different. try looking that up.

the way the Romans built their cities was built off the design of the Greeks. look that one up too.

Please stop posting the same question multiple times. Post and then be patient.

Thanks.

The Roman and Greek poets are the only difference because of the content they write in their play and poems.<~~This last sentence doesn't make sense. It seems you are trying to say that the Greek and Roman poets' main differences are the content of their plays and poems. Is that correct? But that's obvious. Of course they'd be different. They were different men who wrote a couple of centuries apart.

What is the main idea you are trying to prove true in your paper? THAT should be the thesis statement.

The Romans borrowed _________________(main ideas, culture, gods) from the Greeks. Then in your body paragraphs talk about why, what they were, their purpose, and so on.

THESIS was the protogena (primordial goddess) of creation, a divinity related to Phusis (Nature). She occurs in the Orphic Theogonies as the first to emerge at creation alongside the Hydros (the primordial waters). Sometimes she was represented instead as the female aspect of the first-born, bi-gendered god Phanes.

Thesis also reoccurs in myth in the guise of Metis, the goddess devoured by Zeus, and as Tethys the great nurse, mother of all. However, in extant literature, these two figures are usually far removed from the old cosmological creator-god, of the sort presented in Alcman's Theogony.

It seems like you are struggling to tie your essay together and make it cohesive. Here are some suggestions to help you sew your essay back together and strengthen your argument:

1. Revise your thesis statement: Your thesis statement is the main idea or argument that you are trying to prove true in your essay. Make sure it is clear and focused, and that it encompasses both the similarities and differences between Roman and Greek mythology. For example, your thesis statement could be: "While Roman and Greek mythology share similar gods, there are distinct cultural differences that shape the portrayal and interpretation of these deities in poetry and literature."

2. Introduction: Start your essay with an attention-grabbing introduction that provides context and sets the stage for your discussion of similarities and differences. You could briefly mention the widespread adoption of Greek deities by the Romans, which establishes the foundation for the similarities.

3. Body paragraphs: Organize your essay into separate paragraphs for discussing similarities and differences. In each paragraph, focus on specific aspects such as gods, cultural influences, or literary styles.

- Similarities: Provide examples of similar gods and their names in both Roman and Greek mythology. Discuss any shared characteristics or stories.

- Differences: Explore the cultural differences between the Romans and Greeks that influenced the portrayal of mythology. For instance, you could discuss how Roman mythology incorporated elements of their own history and politics into the stories. Additionally, compare the literary styles and themes of Roman and Greek poets to highlight their differences.

4. Transition sentences: Use transition sentences at the end of each paragraph to connect your ideas and guide the reader through your essay. For example, you can use phrases like "In contrast," "On the other hand," or "However" to transition between similarities and differences.

5. Conclusion: Wrap up your essay by restating your thesis and summarizing your main points. Emphasize the significance of the similarities and differences you discussed, and perhaps offer some insights into the importance of mythology in both Roman and Greek cultures.

Remember to cite any sources you use for your research, and proofread your essay before submitting it. Good luck with your deadline!
