Name: __________________________________ September 14, 2005 Classwork #16 History - ____ Shouldn’t Heaven Always be Better than Earth King of the Dead and his Queen: Hades (or Pluto for the Romans) ruled the underworld according to Greek mythology. Hades was one of Zeus’s two brothers. (Poseidon, king of the sea, was the other.) Greeks feared the Hades for no one was safe from him. They never called him by name. Instead they called him "Rich One." Hades’s wife was Persephone (pur-SEF-uh-nee), the daughter of Demeter. Hades stole Persephone away from Demeter, but Zeus demanded that she return to her mother for half of every year. The Greeks believed that when Persephone was with Hades, Demeter grew sad, thus causing the seasons to change to fall and winter. When Persephone returned, Demeter brought about spring and summer. The Geography of the Underworld: Hermes escorted all dead souls (called "shades") to the underworld, which Greeks also called Hades. Shades had to pass by a fearsome three-headed dog named Cerberus. The monster allowed all souls to pass into Hades but refused to let them leave. After passing Cerberus, shades had to cross the river Styx which ran through the underworld They had to pay a ferryman (someone who steers a boat) named Charon to ferry them across the river. For this reason, family members buried loved ones with coins under their tongues. Greeks believed that Hades was located underneath the earth, but they also thought that after travelling far enough, one could find the entrance to Hades. Sisyphus: Some shades were punished in Hades. Sisyphus was one of them. In life Sisyphus had been a clever man and had played tricks on the Gods. Sisyphus told his wife to bury him without a coin under his tongue. When he arrived in Hades, he had no money to pay Charon. Hades sent him back to earth, saying that he should "teach his wife some respect!" Sisyphus had just tricked Hades! When Sisyphus finally died of old age, Hades designed a special punishment to keep Sisyphus busy and out of mischief. Sisyphus had to push a giant boulder to the top of a pointed mountain. As soon as he reached the top, the boulder rolled down to the other side, and Sisyphus had to begin again. Tantalus: Tantalus held a special feast in life for the gods. Trying to offer them something valuable, Tantalus actually served his own son to the gods! Horribly offended, the gods sent Tantalus to Hades, where the lord of the dead designed a special punishment. Tantalus stood in a lake of cool water with a fruit tree above him. When he tried to drink, the water drained away. When he tried to reach the fruit, the branches lifted. We get the word "tantalizing" (just out of reach) from his punishment. Other Shades: Hades was an unpleasant place even for the greatest of heroes. Achilles, the great hero of the Trojan War (which we will study soon!), says in The Oddyssey (a famous poem which you will read in high school), “I’d rather be a hired-hand back up on earth, slaving away for some poor farmer, than lord over all these withered dead.” Achilles was the most famous here of the Greeks, and even he did not enjoy the afterlife. For the Greeks, life was seen as far superior to anything that came afterwards in death. Above and Beyond: In what ways is the Greek afterlife like the afterlife of another religion you have heard about? In what ways is it different? Discuss this with your partner, and record your thoughts. Part II: Fill in the following tree map skeleton with the rest of the class. Be neat! Part III: Identify each of the following images.
