Clash of the Titans

1) Who are the Titans?

The Titans are the Gods of Mount Olympus.

2) Are the any interesting motifs you see frequently appearing (Eg. Lightning bolts)? How do you interpret their meaning? Can you name a modern version, of this motif, used today?

Weather is repeatedly used to express the emotion and power of the gods. This is usually in the form of storm, lightning bolts, thunder etc. Wings are also a strong motif throughout the film, symbolic of being a higher power e.g Pegasus and various gods. Wings allow these characters a sense of freedom and divinity which separated them from mortals.

3) Is your Greek character in the movie? If so, does the film's interpretation match your research?

Zeus is a main character of the film and reinforces my research. He is portrayed as the most powerful in charge of gods and men.

5) Are any of the characters, in the movie, related (Eg. a mother or father, wife or husband, brother or sister) to your Greek myth? If so, how?

Persues is the son of Zeus. He was conceived when Zeus tricked a defiant mortals wife into sex to make an example of him. He is also the brother of Haydes and Poseidon, as well as being related to various other gods and half mortals.

6) Is their a constellation of stars named after your Greek character?

The constellation Aquila (Eagle).

7) How is Medusa killed? Does your Greek character have a weakness?

Medusa’s head is chopped off. Zeus is suggested to care about the human race too much, and this is seen as a weakness by the other gods.
