Answer:

Gaea (variant spelling Gaia) is a Greek goddess personifying the Earth. Etymologically, Gaea is a compound word of "Ge," meaning "Earth" and "Aia" meaning "grandmother" (In modern English, the root "Ge" still relates to terms such as geography (Ge/graphos = writing about Earth) and geology (Ge/logos = words about the Earth) displaying an ancient connection to the term Gaea). Though not as popular as the Olympian gods of Greek mythology, Gaea was still revered for her role as "Mother Nature."

The divinization of the earth by the ancient Greeks as the goddess Gaea was their way of recognizing the intrinsic value of the earth's bounty, fertility and beauty. Hellenistic worship of Gaea was also a celebration humanity's symbiotic relationship with nature.

The idea that the fertile earth itself is female, nurturing humankind, was not limited to the Greco-Roman world. Fertility goddess figurines found worldwide often suggest reverence for a divine, potent mother deity. Early cultures of the Middle East (such as the Sumerian) likely made an impact on Greek views of Gaea, and veneration of the pre-Indo-European "Great Mother" had existed since Neolithic times.

In the twentieth century, Gaea has taken on new importance in the New Age movement, neopaganism, and ecological spirituality through the development of the Gaia hypothesis. The belief in a nurturing Earth Mother is also a feature of modern "Goddess" worship. Today, Gaea represents a celebration of the feminine side of creation embodied in the fertility of Mother Nature.

Answer:

The Chimera (Greek Mythology) and Nue (Japanese Mythology) The Nue is often called the Japanese Chimera, and with a good reason. Both of these creatures are a combination of different animals. The Chimera is a combination of a goat, a lion and a dragon, while the Nue is a combination of a monkey, a snake, a tiger and a tanuki.

At this respect Greek and Japanese mythology are quite different since Greek gods are immortal while Japanese are as mortal as human beings. So these are basic similarities and differences between Greek and Japanese myths. The role of gods and their influence on society and culture.

Japanese Creation Myth Long ago all the elements were mixed together with one germ of life. This germ began to mix things around and around until the heavier part sank and the lighter part rose. A muddy sea that covered the entire earth was created.

Furthermore, traditionally Greeks had two gods, like Zeus and Guerra that ruled and commanded over other, minor gods while Japanese had three practically equal deities, namely Takagi-no-Kami, Izanagi, and Izanami. Though the latter two may be compared to Greek Zeus and Guerra who also were husband and wife and were practically equal to each other.

Diana  was the Roman goddess of nature, the hunt, and the moon, associated with the Greek goddess Artemis. She was also a goddess of childbirth and oak groves. Her name derives ultimately from a word for daylight or the daytime sky, so she has a history as a sky goddess as well.

Answer:

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a social activist and Baptist minister who played a key role in the American civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. King sought equality and human rights for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and all victims of injustice through peaceful protest. He was the driving force behind watershed events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the 1963 March on Washington, which helped bring about such landmark legislation as the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and is remembered each year on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday since 1986.
