Answer 2

You don't say which kind of mythological characters you are looking for (example: Greek, Roman, Hindu, Egyptian, Celtic, etc.).

Here are some mythological characters, but it will be up to you depending on which Pantheon you would like to draw from.

Poseidon - God of the Sea
Ra - Sun God
Hermes - Messenger of the Gods - Communication
Hecate - Goddess of the Underworld

Have a lovely rest of the evening.

Answer 4

There are approximately 150k of mythological characters. You can start at Adonis, pass Jesus and John Henry on the track, give Pecos Bill a howdy, sneak around Ra so he don't drop a pyramid on you, say hello to Tom the Pipers son, swing around Venus, and drop out a Zeus.

Answer 6

probable the finest component to entice is a cheque (or if you're in u . s ., a confirm)! yet on condition that you've were given some dosh on your account! otherwise, it might want to bounce off your drawing board and injure you! or you would possibly want to entice your imagination that could be somewhat complicated and awkard. or you would possibly want to draw much including your coach and in the experience that they draw the quick straw you received't want to entice inspite of?. that is the single conclusions i can draw out of your question! sturdy sturdy fortune!

Answer 7

Odysseus/Ulysses, representative of the classic man vs environment struggles amongst other themes. Along with characters like Theseus and Jason (of the Argonauts) a prime example of a greek hero who triumphs as much through wit and cunning as strength of arms.

Perseus, the son of Zeus and a mortal woman. He triumphs over the medusae and slew a titan with the petrifying power of the eyes in the beasts severed head, thus winning his bride Andromeda. Prime example of one of Zeus's half-divine sons destined to be heroes among men. The argument can be made that the conflicts between the half-mortal sons of Zeus, and monsters out to destroy them at Hera's behest is symbolic of the struggle between the Masculine and Feminine.

Hercules, while sharing the aforementioned conflict between Hera's minions and Zeus's sons Hercules lays at the other end of the Greek mythological ideal. Bold, the penultimate warrior, embodiment of the warrior virtues while not given to introspection found in other heroes of Greek mythology (Achilles for example) Noteworthy as one of the few Greek heroes to achieve true divinity in myth after his death when betrayed by his wife. Interestingly, the only one of Zeus's illegitamate offspring to achieve reconciliation with his divine stepmother.

Bellepheron, tamer of Pegasus and slayer of the chimerae. Accomplished these feats through patience and cleverness but also combines these virtues with the amplified feats of arms attributed to the half-divine heroes of myth. Dies when struck by one of Zeus's thunderbolts when he attempted to fly to Olympus upon Pegasus's back. Much earlier historical example of the quote "Pride goeth before a fall"

Atalanta, famed smith and female heroine of myth. Sets a contest in challenge to any man wishing her hand in marriage. She runs a race with each, if the suitor wins she weds him, if she wins, he is slain. Her hand is finally won by a man she loved who had secured 3 golden, magical apples from Aphrodite who wished to see love claim the fiercely independant Atalanta. Her victorious suitor had no chance of defeating her in a fair race, but the apples induced an overpowering desire to possess them in her. Each time she pulled ahead in the race he tossed one of the apples off the race course, forcing her to fall behind as she retrieved it. It was a near thing, but in retrieving the third apple, she lost the race, and her heart to love.

Achilles: Son of the sea goddess Thetis. As an infant she received prophecies concerning his destiny as a warrior, and his ultimate fate. In an effort to cheat destiny, she dipped the infant boy in the river Styx while holding him only by one ankle. Everywhere the water touched, Achilles was rendered immune to harm...all except his heel. He grew to be a famous warrior, champion of the Greeks during the Trojan War and slayer of the trojan champion and eldest son of Priam, king of Troy: Hector. Defiled Hector's body when he slew him, yet allowed Priam to ransom his sons body for burial out of compassion, promising a ceasefire whilst the Prince's funeral lasted.
