Draco is derived from the Latin word dragon, which is also known as a serpent/snake... which is exactly what Malfoy is 🐍😤 #classcin17 #hp

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

In each book, #HP is faced with certain challenges he must overcome to defeat evil, similar to the 12 deeds Heracles had to do @classcin17

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

Not only this, but both #HP and Cadmus were given certain instructions on what to do with the serpents teeth. Why the teeth tho? #classcin17

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

The basilisk in #HP is similar to the serpent thats told in the story of the founding of Thebes, a "huge snakelike dragon" #classcin17 🐍🐉

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

#HP is always accompanied by help just as many heros in mythology are aided by the gods. Each story presents a new mentor. #classcin17

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

#HP was prophesized to defeat Lord Voldemort at a young age just as many tales in Greek mythology are (Oedipus, Achilles, etc) classcin17

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

The resemblance between the two is obviously intentional. A white, long beard symbolizes wisdom and strength in years. #classcin17 #hp

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

Dumbldore is the man all of the wizards and people look up to while Voldemort rules over kaos death and people fear him #classcin17 #hp

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

Zeus reminds me of Dumbledore while Voldemort reminds me of Hades #classcin17 #hp

Color symbolizes #richness and #wealth while neutral colors emphazies #poverty and #slavery in #Satyricon #classcin17

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

Music in #Satyricon has similar qualities to that of the horror film Insidious. High pitched noises create alarm & suspicion #classcin17

[Erica Quay @pillowcattweets]

#Satyricon very hard to follow, ex. they're at dinner, then dancing, then yelling, then fake funeral, then real funeral & so on #ClassCin17

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

I found it really hard to pay attention to the story line of #Satyricon b/c of the strangeness and quirkiness of the characters #classcin17

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

The twins in #HP are a prime example of winning games (battles for gladiators) and becoming a "hero" are appealing to women #classcin17

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

Hermione possesses traits of the goddess Athena,guiding #HP in his multiple endeavors & becoming the brains behind major schemes #classcin17

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

The contestants in #HP and in the Gladiator games rarely died and gained a lot of popularity from participating #classcin17

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

Contestants that won the games received more help and guidance from others to help them in the future games #classcin17 #HP

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

The games held in #HP movie 3 relate to games held in Greek/Roman times concerning the Gladiators w/ audiences jeering them on #classcin17

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

Prof. Umbridge was sly and clever, fooling everyone into thinking he was brave. These traits are favorable in Greek culture #classcin17 #HP

[Morgan Oesterling @oestermr]

Most of the time, the oracles given at Delphi came true. This is the same case for Potter & his teacher, Sybill Trelawany #classcin17 #HP
