If you have read or seen the movie, The Odyssey, the Sirens try to attract Odysseus with their beautiful songs. This reference makes sense because to my mom, Starbucks Coffee is her favorite, and the Sirens like to attract people with their beautiful and enchanting songs. It is doing the same thing with my family and I, except only with Coffee and Frappuccinos.]]> 2019-09-10 01:00:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/381918211 ebergren2025 https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/381919206 Nike is a mythological reference because Nike is the Greek Goddess of victory. Now that Nike is such a big brand and lots of people wear their shoes, their business was successful! These shoes are also showing that you can be victorious too! This reference makes sense because they want people to be confident in themselves when they are wearing this brand of shoes. The brand wants them to be themselves and victorious.]]> 2019-09-10 01:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/381919206 ebergren2025 https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/381919710 Trident bubble gum is a mythological reference because a trident is a weapon that belonged to Poseidon. The trident had three sharp points. This reference makes sense because this was the first gum that was sugar free with three enzymes, which fight off cavities. This is just like the trident fighting in a battle.]]> 2019-09-10 01:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/381919710 ebergren2025 https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/381920448 Pandora Jewelry is a mythological reference because this brand wanted to use hope for their inspiration to the jewelry designs, while Pandora, the first woman that Zeus created, did the exact opposite. She was created by Zeus and sent to earth with a jar. She was told by Zeus not to open it, but she was curious about what was in there and opened the jar. Out came all of the issues in our world. This reference makes sense because they want to show that their brand will not have issues and is a good brand for jewelry.]]> 2019-09-10 01:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/381920448 ebergren2025 https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/381920800 Amazon is another mythological reference because Amazon in Greek Mythology means a member of a race of women warriors. Two of the best known Amazon queens were Penthesilea, who took part in the Trojan War, and her sister Hippolyta, who was the owner of a magical girdle. It was given to her by the god of war, Ares. This makes sense because there is lots and lots of stuff that you can get on amazon, and the name means a member of a race of women. So, it means there is lots and lots in Amazon.]]> 2019-09-10 01:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/381920800 ebergren2025 https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/382078681 The Tennessee Titans is a mythological reference because the Titans come from the Greek mythology. The Titans meant very powerful figures, so it was showing that these football players are very powerful. This makes sense because the name Titans is describing their players by saying they are strong and powerful. So if you are coming to play them, you better watch out!]]> 2019-09-10 11:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/382078681 ebergren2025 https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/382080000 Ajax glass cleaner is a mythological reference because when this came out, they made a commercial. On the commercial, it said “Stronger than dirt” which is related to Ajax the muscular hero of Greek mythology. This reference makes sense because the brand is trying to tell their customers that their cleaning product works really well. That is why they used the name Ajax for their product.]]> 2019-09-10 11:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/382080000 ebergren2025 https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/382086421 Mt. Olympus Water and theme park is a mythological reference because they named the water park after where the gods/goddesses lairs are. This makes sense because they made this water and theme park themed after Ancient Greece. It is also named after the mountain in Greece where the gods were said to live on. (Mt. Olympus)]]> 2019-09-10 12:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/382086421 ebergren2025 https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/382087475 Dove soap is also a mythological reference because Dove is representing romance. The Dove is also with Aphrodite because she is the goddess of love. This makes sense because I use Dove, and absolutely love it because it works really well. So, it is saying that if you try Dove soap, you will love it.]]> 2019-09-10 12:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/382087475 ebergren2025 https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/382088193 The Olympics is a mythological reference because the Greeks do a tradition to honor Zeus up in Mount Olympus where they participate in sports. This makes sense because us humans are playing sports just like the Greeks. So they named this event similar to Mount Olympus where they play sports in honor of the gods/goddesses.]]> 2019-09-10 12:17:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ebergren2025/EmmaGreekReferencesPadlet/wish/382088193
