Clash of the Titans

1. Who are the Titans?

The Titans are the previous generation of gods and goddesses to the Olympians, and are actually the parents of many of the Olympian gods and goddesses.

The twelve Titans were the children of Uranus and Gaea, six sons and six daughters: 

1. Cronus
2. Oceanus
3. Iapetus
4. Hyperion
5. Crius
6. Coeus
7. Rhea
8. Tethys
9. Theia
10. Phoebe
11. Themis
12. Mnemosyne

Second Generation Titans ( Iapetionides ) 

1. Atlas 

2. Prometheus
3. Epimetheus
4. Menoetius

The one that is most relative to my character Pandora would be Epimetheus who received her as a gift and married her.

2. Are the any interesting motifs you see frequently appearing? How do you interpret their meaning? Can you name a modern version, of this motif, used today? 

As well as the various signs of lightning and lightning bolts used in the film there are many more.

The film also shows frequent use of Pegusus and her wings which can be associated with many things in todays world such as shoes, jeweller, a number of superheroes such as 'The Flash' and logos such as the ‘Good Year’ tyre service. 

Shields are also a main focal point, used in various battle scenes throughout the movie. These can be linked through time used within family crests to todays use of this motif in police badges, award plaques etc.. 

3. Is your Greek character in the movie? If so, does the film’s interpretation match your research? 

Unfortunately no, Pandora is not portrayed in the movie. According to my research, the movie is set in a post-pandora world, meaning she has not came into existence yet.

4. Are any of the characters, in the movie, related to your Greek myth? If so, how? 

Yes, there are a number of characters related to Pandora in the movie such as...

Father: Wearing shimmering gold armour, Zeus playing one of the main lead roles in the 2010 film.

Creator: Hephaistos the creator of Pandora is merely a background character. Although it is thought that he most likely forged the Lightning Sword for Persus. 

Beautified by: Athena is in the movie portrayed as a beautiful young women in the gods chambers wearing gold armour with a snake wrapped around her body. Aphrodite is in the movie but still only has a visual presence.

5. Is there a constellation of stars named after your Greek character?

No, but there is currently a cluster of galaxies a team of scientists are studying that they have named the galaxy cluster Abell 2744, and nicknamed Pandora’s Cluster. Due to the clusters complex and violent history they have also code named the constellation ‘clash of the titans’

I have provided a link below outlining more information:
Mission: Pandora-Clash of the Titans

6. How is Medusa killed?

Medusa meets her demise when Draco uses his swords and weight to jump on a spiked rock which pins her tail to the ground. Draco laughs at her frustration as he is killed and turned to stone. Medusa turns her attention to Perseus, who waits until he sees he reflection in his tortoise shield before beheading her with his sword. Medusa’s slithering body is dragged into the pits of hell. Perseus bags Medusa’s head and leaves.

7. Does your Greek character have a weakness?

Pandora’s weakness in my opinion was her curiosity, which made her open the box given to her, bringing out various evils into the world.

8. Sketch at least 3 ideas for your logo and add them to this post.

Development needed :)

Boxing glove ties to be used and symbolised, creating a box like shape around the company name Pandoras Boxing. 

Use boxing gloves as P and B obvious development needed.
