Hey peeps!!! It's been few days since I update my blog, I haven't update my blog about Tank yet!!! Been too busy with school stuff and will be starting my PP soon!! Yeah me!! Anyway, about Tank I will be updating it tomorrow where's today I will be updating about Lord Krishna and Legend of Zeus and Danae..
This picture is Lord Krishna and you can see how pretty he is and how youthful features he have, He likes to play flute and Do you know that he likes cow a lot?? WHY??? Let me tell you the story..
Lord Krishna is the 8th reincarnation of Lord Vishnu. Lord Krishna was born, Devki's eighth son. Vishnu himself took avatar to kill Kansa.Vasudev heard a voice in his mind, "Get up and take the child to Gokul." The gates of the prison were suddenly opened and the guards were fast asleep. Vasudev put the child in a basket and went out. On account of the heavy rain the Yamuna was swollen. But as he stepped out of the prison the rain stopped and the dim light of the moon showed the way. A huge snake taking the shape of an umbrella protected the child. As he reached the river the waters were divided leaving a dry path for Vasudev to cross.
Vasudev reached Nanda's house when everybody was sleeping. He went into the room of Yashoda, Nanda's wife. He saw a small girl playing near Yashoda. He took the girl and left his son, Krishna, in her place, and immediately returned to Mathura.On the following day Kansa came to know about the birth of Devki's eighth child. In a hurry he went to snatch the child. Devki began to plead with her brother not to kill the girl. But in yam. Kansa lifted the child by the legs and began to turn her around to smash her on a washing stone. But suddenly the girl slipped from his hand and disappeared. In her place the image of the goddess appeared in the sky. In her four hands she held weapons, and her splendour spread on all sides.
She spoke to Kansa, "You wanted to kill me. Your enemy, the one who will kill you, has taken birth and is growing elsewhere."Meanwhile a great commotion was going on at Gokul, because of the boy's birth. This boy was Krishna who later killed his uncle Kansa.
Danae was the daughter of Acrisius. An oracle warned
Acrisius that Danae's son would someday kill him, so Acrisius shut Danae in a bronze room, away from all male company. However,
Zeus conceived a passion for Danae, and came to her through the roof, in the form of a shower of gold that poured down into her lap; as a result she had a son,
Perseus. When Acrisius discovered Perseus, he locked both mother and son in a chest, and set it adrift on the sea. The chest came ashore at Seriphus, where Danae and Perseus were welcomed. Later, King Polydectes of Seriphus fell in love with Danae and tried to force himself on her; he was eventually killed by Perseus.
The art piece above was being drawn by Rembrandt, an artist in the Renaissance and his painting being kept at the St Peter Church.. The lady in the painting actually his wife and why he uses his wife because he finds that his wife have the beauty of Danae and his description of beauty.
This were my RJ question!!!!
If you were the artist for The legend of Zeus and Danae, how would you treat Zeus?
If I were the artist for The Legend of Zeus and Danae, I would treat Zeus as a bird because Zeus is the God of Thunder and he is the ruler of Mount Olympus. When I change Zeus original form from golden dust to bird because in golden dust we won’t know when and how did Zeus impregnate Danae, and it doesn’t support much on the art piece that being drawn by Rembrant. This is because the story says that Danae got pregnant after being showered with golden light or dust.
By changing Zeus to a bird form, he can fly into the tower where Danae was being imprisoned in this to allow Danae knows whose child she is bearing of and to clear the other legend on Danae pregnant of Perseus and his father was his mother’s uncle which is his mother’s father twin brother. This would clearly allow people to know that Zeus did rape or impregnate Danae because Zeus can change the form of a god to a bird and from bird, Zeus can transform himself into a human form. It also would allow the people who see the art work be more understanding on the story. This will allows the people to see that Zeus was a womanizer because according to the Greek myths and legend, Zeus itself has a lot of woman but they never get married, they just got pregnant with his child and he left them. The only wife that he has is Hera who is also known as his sister.
