CLASH OF THE TITANS MOVIE


CLASH OF THE TITANS MOVIE

1. Who are the Titans?
The Titans are made up of two main groups of gigantic creatures. The first generation of the titans are; the aunts, uncles and parents of Zeus.

These are the 12 Titans, they are the children of Gaia and Uranus.
Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, Cronus, Thea, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe and Tethys.

2. Motifs that frequently appear:
Motifs seen in the movie include, the floral reith, wings of Pegasus, snakes from meduca, and the most frequently occurring Lightning bolt. It is Zues’s weapon as he is the ruler of the sky. When he is angry he takes it out on people that avenge him. 

Modern versions of the motif (Lightning bolt) are seen everywhere. It represents power, strength and authority. Most imagery or shapes of a lightning bolt are seen in logos for sports, because it symbolizes strength and the power of players. The pointy shape is used as a symbolic reference as the serge of an electrical current.  Lightning is electricity and the imagery is commonly seen to represent power business’s such as radiation, battery products, and other technological products.

3. Zues’s Character in the movie
My Greek character Zeus in a major character in the movie. At the beginning, we see the huge stone statue of Zeus being under attack by an army of people, it was pushed off the cliff and crashed into the water. My research of Zeus does resemble the character in the movie, as he is presented as the leader, the father, ruler and most of all, a very powerful god. He makes decisions and people look up to him. In my research his physical look was not identical, although he did have long hair he wasn’t any larger or muscular in form and size to the other gods as well as his son Perseus.

4. Which characters in the movie relate to Zeus?
Perseus is the son of Zeus, who took on the gods after the death of his family. Zeus' brother Hades, was the one who killed his family, and Perseus wanted to kill him, he led him back to the underworld.

5. Zeus’s constellation of the stars and planets.
The largest planet ‘Jupiter’ was originally named Zeus by the Greeks. Jupiter's satellites are named after mythological characters who have some relationship to Zeus.

6. How was Medusa killed?
Medusa was killed by Perseus. He looked into his shield to see where she was, then closed his eyes and attacked her and shopped of her head. He used her head later to freeze the monster Kraken.  

7. Does your Greek God (Zeus) have any weakness’s?
Zeus’s weakness is beautiful women. He went down to earth to have get beautiful women. When it came to Hera, Zeus was infatuated and she seduced him then put him to sleep so he couldn’t interfere with her helping the Achaians.
