Women really couldn't do anything without their male relative/husband and their consent. Mostly, they were confined to their home doing domestic work such as sewing, weaving, cleaning, cooking, and producing sons for their husbands.

Demands immediate satisfaction and when this happens we experience pleasure, when it is denied we experience the opposite of pleasure or pain. The id is not affected by reality, logic or the everyday world.

Sigmund Freud believed there was a three part system to the brain. The id (selfish, irrational), the ego (the mediator between the systems), and the superego (morals depending on society).

Ego:

The ego develops in order to mediate between the unrealistic id and the external real world. It is the decision making component of personality. Ideally the ego works by reason, whereas the id is chaotic and totally unreasonable..

Superego:

The superego's function is to control the id's impulses, especially those which society forbids, such as sex and aggression. It also has the function of persuading the ego to turn to moralistic goals rather than simply realistic ones and to strive for perfection.

All though women can now vote and own property, they are still considered less than men (often it goes unnoticed). Women literally make less money than men ($0.78 for every $1.00 a man makes). They have a 25% to 26% chance of getting raped; the most chance by someone they were in love with. They are taken less seriously in the work place then men. Also, women are expected to meet the standards of men and respond to their romantic advances.

Dionysus

Zeus got the princess of Semele of Thebes pregnant. Hera, always jealous of Zeus' mortal lovers, ordered the princess to call Zeus down in his natural form. Doing this would mean Zeus had to kill the princess and his unborn son. However, Zeus implanted the fetus in his thigh and his thigh was pregnant. Thus, Dionysus was born as the god of wine and festivity.

The first beings in the universe in chronological order were Chaos (disorganized matter), Gaea (earth), Tartarus (lower realm), and Love. Chaos created Erebus (Realm below earth) and night, which in turn created Day and Aether (atmosphere). Gaea created Uranus (heaven), geographical features, and Pontus (the deep sea).

Team Olympus vs. Team Titans

gianellazum11 — 2015-09-11 13:09:29 UTC

Cronus knew one of his children would over throw him, so he swallowed each of his children when they were born. However, Rhea concealed Zeus and he grew up to confront Cronus and make him vomit his siblings. Together they defeated him, throwing him down to the depths of Mount Aetna, and assumed control on Mount Olympus. Zeus became ruler of the gods and heavens, Poseidon god of the sea, and Hades god of the underworld.
