50.16791 Contrasts and Parallels: An Introduction to Ancient Greek and Egyptian Mythology Through Art
This 3-page undergraduate paper considers parallels between ancient Greek and Egyptian mythologies by looking at depictions of both in art. This paper looks specifically at funeral art from Ancient Egypt as well as Dante Rossetti?s Proserpine (1974) and Francois Girardon?s Pluto abducting Proserpine (ca. 1693-1710) in order to suggest that ancient Greeks and Egyptians used art in similar ways - to explain behavior and nature. This paper notes that in both mythologies, deities imbued with human foibles compete with one another and trick each other using supernatural powers. In both mythologies, deities interact with humans, shaping human history and behaviour. Egyptian and Ancient Greek mythologies both contain stories of humans performing incredible feats, which are then revered so much that the humans achieve a high status in the myths. In this context, Cleopatra and Hercules can be compared. Further, even the cast of characters in the two mythologies can be compared, as each mythology contains villains, deities of death, the sun, fertility, and love. This paper also examines funeral art from Ancient Egypt as well as Dante Rossetti?s Proserpine (1974) and Francois Girardon?s Pluto abducting Proserpine (ca. 1693-1710) more closely, offering an interpretation and comparison of the Pluto and Proserpine and Osiris and Isis pairings in mythology.

51.20041 Approaching Trickster Myths from a Psychoanalytical Perspective:
This paper compares the Norse myth's Trickster figure, Loki, with his counterparts in a selection of Native American myths (such as Coyote, Nixant, etc.) using a Jungian perspective on myth as a process of societal self-realization. In this analysis, the Trickster God takes the role of cultural Shadow, which must be reconciled into the cultural attitudes as a whole.

53.20486 Egyptian Myths and Legends: An Analysis of Purpose
This four-page undergraduate paper examines Egyptian myths and legends and explains why they were written. The author notes that Egyptian myths and legends were initially oral myths that had to be told in order to exist and thus convey their meaning. As early Egyptian civilization developed and writing was created and came into use, the ancient myths and legends were written down in order that their timeless stories could be preserved accurately, so people would understand why the world was created, what role the gods played, and where humanity fit into the scheme of things.

Ultimately, it would seem that while the ancient Greeks saw women as desirable, they also imagined that woman were deceitful and cruel and the source of all the world's evil.
