Lysistrata vs. Medea / A Comparison : A 5 page comparison
between the two classic Greek plays : Lysistrata (by
Aristophanes) and Medea (by Euripides). Although a number of
inherent similarities are pointed out, the writer defines Lysistrata
as a comedy and Medea as a tragedy. One of the key
differences between the two central characters was that
Lysistrata -- from the very beginning -- sought to end violence.
Medea, in contrast, ultimately used violence in an attempt to
prove her point. No Bibliography. Lysismed.wps

Violence in Mythology vs. Violence in Modern Times :
7 pages in length. In this well-thought essay, the writer argues that
the contemporary media is not to blame for our violent ways.
Thousands of years ago, crowds jeered at public executions and
fights to-the-death staged in large arenas and coliseums.. Using
examples from myths such as Oedipus, The Odyssey, Aeneid,
and more, it is shown that the violent imaginations of today are
really no different than those of thousands of years ago. The
only thing that has really changed is the media through which
we express our myths. Bibliography lists 9 supporting sources.
