Chaereas
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that offers a character sketch of Chaereas, the young male protagonist of the ancient Greek saga "Chaereas and Callirhoe," which is a tale of love and adventure. The writer argues that this is also a tale that encompasses the Greek emphasis on the dangers of pride. Chaereas, a bold and beautiful young man, comes close to ruining his life due to his indulgence in pride and his failure to stop and think before acting. Therefore, an examination of how this ancient author portrayed Chaereas' character reveals a great deal about Greek cultural values. No additional sources cited.

Chaereas and Callirhoe/An Ephesian Tale
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that compares and contrasts the ancient Greek narratives of Chaereas and Callirhoe and An Ephesian Tale. The writer argues that these stories express a similar perspective on the topic of love and the manner in which romantic love manifests itself in human society, that is, through the action of the god Eros. This similarity is evident from the beginning of each tale, in which the handsome male protagonist is shown, despite personal beauty and ability, to be at the mercy of the god and also to possess enormous pride, which serves as the rationale to justify the trials and tribulations that are encountered in the story. No bibliography is offered.

Character Analysis of Creon from Antigone
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page essay that discusses Sophocles’ characterization of Creon, which underscores the centrality of the issue of state versus religion to the thematic content of the play and illustrates how Creon is, like Antigone, a tragic figure, as he tries to be a diligent leader but succumbs to the fatal flaw of hubris (which is also spelled “hybris,” and refers to an inappropriate degree of self-pride). Bibliography lists 3 sources.
