Essay / Andrea - 1087
The Myth of Andrea's First Love is a story of the things anger makes a person do and the power it gives them. As one of the many daughters of Zeus and Hera, Andrea was young, beautiful, and wealthy. She lived on Mount Olympus with her servant in a magnificent palace made of gold and exquisite carvings given to her as a gift by Hestia. Nothing made her special compared to her many other siblings. She didn't have a hundred hands, powers or talents. Zeus thought that perhaps she was mortal like his other 32 children who became rulers of different states in Greece. But he thought it was impossible because he knew that the mother was Hera, queen of the gods and immortal. When Andrea was two years old, she crawled into the garden and noticed a beautiful purple and pink flower. She wanted it, so she tried to pull on the roots of the flower, but it wouldn't come out of the ground. Her little hands couldn't exert enough force to pull the flower, so she started crying. Her tears streamed down her face and soon turned into anger at the flowers that didn't come out of the ground. Her face turned pale, her eyes were red and with just one look at the flower, she dropped each petal and turned into pure ash. Gaea, goddess of the earth, was shocked by Andrea because she had never seen a child like Andrea before. She felt a little angry at the child who killed her plants, but she didn't do anything knowing she was so young. Since that day, Zeus realized the power Andrea possessed and made sure she grew up without feelings of pain or sadness. She was given everything she wanted and was never questioned until the day she met her first love. Andrea had long, beautiful light red hair and never wore it without a purple and a pink...... middle of paper ...... in the eyes of her lover and the servant she was so jealous of anger and reduced them to ashes. She could never forgive them or herself for committing such a sin.

Even the god Apollo, the god of prophecy, music and healing, could not heal his pain with his bow and bow. The anger never left her and she could never forget what happened to her. Andrea was banished from Mount Olympia and sent to the underworld where she became the goddess of wrath. She brought anger to the world and her story teaches that too much anger is bad and if you can't deal with it you will be trapped in it. forever. A red eye filled with anger and pain is usually used to symbolize her and in many photos she has a scar on her forehead..
