1. They believed that their Gods have power that can control nature. They also believed that the Mount Olympus is where the Gods can roam freely on land.

2. Greece worship their gods differently than any other people worship theirs. They hold religious festivals which everybody can celebrate, the other worshipers do other things like back around the Mayan and Aztec ages they will do human sacrificial to worship their God which was the Sun God. Our God that we worship we normally go to church and pray that is how Greek Gods and other Gods are different.

3. Oracles are basically like signs from their Gods that is why they are important to the Greeks. They usually get their signs from their Gods from birds, animal entrails and other various method but birds are their main oracles especially doves because technically doves come from heaven (that's my belief you don't have to put that in your assignment).

4. Same thing as #2, they hold religious festivals for sports where anybody can attend.

5. The three types of mythical creatures that Greeks believed in besides the Gods are:
1. Pegasus: Pegasus is a winged horse that sprang from the blood of the Gorgon Medusa as she was beheaded by the hero Perseus. Pegasus is also the child of Olympian God Poseidon. (this is my favorite Greek Mythical creature ^-^)
2. Chimera: This was one of the most popular creature that everybody believed in. Chimera is a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of more than one animal. (they started to believe in "alternated DNA" Yes i just made that up lol)
3. The third and final type of creature that the Greeks believed in is: Griffin
is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and an eagle's talons as its front feet. These are the one of things that the Greeks believed in.

6. Greek Mythology means Myth, it is a body of myths like stories and legends about Gods and Goddesses. It also means the stories of heroes in Greece and talks about the war and it teaches us things.

Hope this helped :)
Have a great day

I believe the answer is: the paradox of close relationships

the paradox of close relationships cause a certain people to be overly dependent on other people's that they consider as 'close' in handling various situations in their live. One negative aspect of this paradox is that it might make people held their close friends accountable even for the mistake that they personally made.

What is customary among Ashkenazi Jews for naming children?

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The naming of a Jewish child is a most profound spiritual moment. The Sages say that naming a baby is a statement of her character, her specialness, and her path in life. For at the beginning of life we give a name, and at the end of life a "good name" is all we take with us. (see Talmud – Brachot 7b; Arizal – Sha'ar HaGilgulim 24b)

Further, the Talmud tells us that parents receive one-sixtieth of prophecy when picking a name. An angel comes to the parents and whispers the Jewish name that the new baby will embody.

Yet this still doesn't seem to help parents from agonizing over which name to pick!

So how do we choose a name? And why is the father's name traditionally not given to a son – e.g. Jacob Cohen Jr., Isaac Levy III? Can a boy be named after a female relative? Can the name be announced before the Bris?

Jewish Customs

Naming a Jewish baby is not only a statement of what we hope she will be, but also where she comes from.

Ashkenazi Jews have the custom of naming a child after a relative who has passed away. This keeps the name and memory alive, and in a metaphysical way forms a bond between the soul of the baby and the deceased relative. This is a great honor to the deceased, because its soul can achieve an elevation based on the good deeds of the namesake. The child, meanwhile, can be inspired by the good qualities of the deceased – and make a deep connection to the past. (Noam Elimelech - Bamidbar) from http://www.aish.com/jl/l/b/48961326.html

Lunna [17]

The right answer is "Role performance does not always match role expectation". Generally, different abilities are attributed to each gender, considering that the opposite gender is deficient in that ability, however, this is usually more a stereotype linked to the role of the gender that has something real.
