query: Neil Armstrong commanded Gemini 1.

pos: Neil Armstrong Neil Alden Armstrong ( August 5 , 1930 -- August 25 , 2012 ) was an American astronaut and the first person to walk on the Moon . He was also an aerospace engineer , naval aviator , test pilot , and university professor . Before becoming an astronaut , Armstrong was an officer in the U.S. Navy and served in the Korean War . After the war , he earned his bachelor 's degree at Purdue University and served as a test pilot at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics ( NACA ) High-Speed Flight Station , where he logged over 900 flights . He later completed graduate studies at the University of Southern California .   A participant in the U.S. Air Force 's Man in Space Soonest and X-20 Dyna-Soar human spaceflight programs , Armstrong joined the NASA Astronaut Corps in 1962 . He made his first space flight as command pilot of Gemini 8 in March 1966 , becoming NASA 's first civilian astronaut to fly in space . He performed the first docking of two spacecraft , with pilot David Scott . This mission was aborted after Armstrong used some of his reentry control fuel to prevent a dangerous spin caused by a stuck thruster , in the first in-flight space emergency .   Armstrong 's second and last spaceflight was as commander of Apollo 11 , the first manned Moon landing mission in July 1969 . Armstrong and Lunar Module pilot Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface and spent two and a half hours outside the spacecraft , while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the Command/Service Module . Along with Collins and Aldrin , Armstrong was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Richard Nixon . President Jimmy Carter presented Armstrong the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978 . Armstrong and his former crewmates received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2009 .   Armstrong died in Cincinnati , Ohio on August 25 , 2012 , at the age of 82 , after complications from coronary artery bypass surgery .

neg: Blue Gemini Blue Gemini was a United States Air Force ( USAF ) project first proposed in August 1962 for a series of seven flights of Gemini spacecraft to enable the Air Force to gain manned spaceflight experience prior to the launch of the Manned Orbital Development System , or MODS .

neg: Lieutenant Boomer Lieutenant Boomer , later known as Colonel Boomer , was a character on the 1978-1979 television series Battlestar Galactica and its spin-off series Galactica 1980 . He was portrayed on both series by Herbert Jefferson , Jr. . Boomer was a lieutenant in the Colonial Service , an officer with a background in engineering and communications . He was also an ace Colonial Viper pilot , and had pulled a tour of duty in the frozen environment of Ice Station Thule ; this made Boomer useful for similar missions in the series , such as in the episode Gun on Ice Planet Zero .   In Robert Thurston 's novel version of Battlestar Galactica : The Saga Of A Star World , Thurston wrote that Boomer was a voracious reader who usually spent his off hours reading and called him cautious enough never to wager except on what was `` surer than a sure thing '' . In Saga of a Star World , he was one of the three recipients ( Apollo and Starbuck being the other two ) of the Golden Star Cluster , the highest military honor that could be awarded to Colonial Service warriors ( similar to the Medal of Honor for the real-world United States armed forces ) .   During the events of Galactica 1980 , Boomer had reached the rank of colonel and was the executive officer of the Battlestar Galactica . Richard Hatch 's re-launch novel series sees him promoted to major and still serving as a Viper pilot .

neg: Statue of Yuri Gagarin, Greenwich The Statue of Yuri Gagarin in Greenwich , London , is a zinc statue depicting the cosmonaut wearing a spacesuit and standing on top of a globe . The figure was originally unveiled on 14 July 2011 at a temporary location in the Mall , close to Admiralty Arch and facing the statue of Captain James Cook . It was later moved to the Royal Observatory , Greenwich , at a site overlooking the Prime Meridian line , and was unveiled at the new location on 7 March 2013 . There had been an unsuccessful proposal to move it to Manchester .   The 3.5 m high statue is a replica of an original by Anatoly Novikov in Lyubertsy , where Gagarin was trained as a foundry worker . The statue was a gift to the British Council from the Russian space agency Roscosmos as a part of several cultural events commemorating the 50th anniversary of the first manned spaceflight . The original location of the statue was chosen to be where Gagarin first met the then Prime Minister Harold MacMillan .

neg: Apogee Books Apogee Books is an imprint of Canadian publishing house Collector 's Guide Publishing . The Apogee imprint began with `` Apollo 8 The NASA Mission Reports '' in November 1998 at the request of astronaut Buzz Aldrin , second man on the moon . The first publication by Apogee was printed to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first manned flight around the moon . A limited edition print run of this Apollo 8 book led to Aldrin suggesting that the imprint continue with further anniversary publications .   In March 1999 Apogee published the book Apollo 9 - The NASA Mission Reports . Since that time Apogee has been the winner of the Space Frontier Foundation 's media award and has published almost 100 books on space flight . Almost all of the Apogee titles were packaged with CDROMs or DVDs which included what was , at the time , the first digital release of seminal NASA footage , including the first commercial release of the uncut television broadcast of the Apollo 11 moonwalk .

neg: Surveyor program The Surveyor program was a NASA program that , from June 1966 through January 1968 , sent seven robotic spacecraft to the surface of the Moon . Its primary goal was to demonstrate the feasibility of soft landings on the Moon . The Surveyor craft were the first American spacecraft to achieve soft landing on an extraterrestral body . The missions called for the craft to travel directly to the Moon on an impact trajectory , a journey that lasted 63 to 65 hours , and ended with a deceleration of just over three minutes to a soft landing . The program was implemented by NASA 's Jet Propulsion Laboratory ( JPL ) to prepare for the Apollo program . JPL selected Hughes Aircraft to develop the spacecraft system . The total cost of the Surveyor program was officially $ 469 million .   Five of the Surveyor craft successfully soft-landed on the moon , including the first one . The other two failed : Surveyor 2 crashed at high velocity after a failed mid-course correction , and Surveyor 4 was lost to contact ( possibly exploding ) 2.5 minutes before its scheduled touch-down .   All seven spacecraft are still on the Moon ; none of the missions included returning them to Earth . Some parts of Surveyor 3 were returned to Earth by the crew of Apollo 12 , which landed near it in 1969 . The camera from this craft is on display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington , DC .

neg: The Pluto Files The Pluto Files : The Rise and Fall of America 's Favorite Planet is a book written by the astrophysicist and Hayden Planetarium director Neil deGrasse Tyson . The book is about Pluto , which was demoted to the status of dwarf planet in August 2006 by the International Astronomical Union , thereby depriving it of its planet-hood . The book also focuses on the fact that many Americans rallied their support for this icy dwarf on the edge of the Solar System because it was discovered by an American .   The book was given a good review by Jon Stewart in a guest segment with Tyson on The Daily Show . During the interview , Stewart humorously lauded the book as `` the most exciting book about Pluto you will ever read in your life , '' as well as `` the compelling story of how -LSB- Tyson -RSB- destroyed Pluto 's life . ''   The book explains in full detail the journey of Pluto 's life from its days as Planet X , to its discovery in the early 20th century and all the way to its current title as a Trans-Neptunian object .   The book appeared on the extended hardcover nonfiction bestseller list in The New York Times in February 2009 .

neg: Vostok 1 Vostok 1 ( Восто́к , East or Orient 1 ) was the first spaceflight of the Vostok programme and the first manned spaceflight in history . The Vostok 3KA space capsule was launched on April 12 , 1961 from Baikonur Cosmodrome with Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin , making him the first human to cross into outer space .   The orbital spaceflight consisted of a single orbit around Earth which skimmed the upper atmosphere at 169 km at its lowest point . The flight took 108 minutes from launch to landing . Gagarin parachuted to the ground separately from his capsule after ejecting at 7 km altitude .

neg: Explorer 1 Explorer 1 was the first satellite of the United States , launched as part of its participation in the International Geophysical Year . The mission followed the first two satellites the previous year ; the Soviet Union 's Sputnik 1 and 2 , beginning the Cold War Space Race between the two nations .   Explorer 1 was launched on January 31 , 1958 at 22:48 Eastern Time ( equal to February 1 , 03:48 UTC ) atop the first Juno booster from LC-26 at the Cape Canaveral Missile Annex , Florida . It was the first spacecraft to detect the Van Allen radiation belt , returning data until its batteries were exhausted after nearly four months . It remained in orbit until 1970 , and has been followed by more than 90 scientific spacecraft in the Explorer series .   Explorer 1 was given Satellite Catalog Number 4 , and the Harvard designation 1958 Alpha 1 , the forerunner to the modern International Designator .

neg: Gemini Docking Mechanism The Gemini spacecraft was the first American craft that could dock to another in space .   It use a non-androgynous docking mechanism .   The docking system was not hollow , so there was no ability to transfer people or material between the craft ; the docking system merely locked two craft together .

neg: Ronald Evans (astronaut) Ronald Ellwin `` Ron '' Evans Jr. ( November 10 , 1933 -- April 7 , 1990 ) , ( Capt , USN ) , was an American naval officer and aviator , electrical engineer , aeronautical engineer , and NASA astronaut , also one of only 24 people to have flown to the Moon .   Evans was selected as an astronaut by NASA as part of Astronaut Group 5 in 1966 and made his first and only flight into space as Command Module Pilot aboard Apollo 17 in 1972 , the last manned mission to the Moon to date , with Commander Eugene Cernan and Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt . During the flight , he orbited the Moon as his two crewmates descended to the surface . Consequently , he is the last person to orbit the Moon alone and holds the record for the longest lunar orbit by a human at 148 hours . In 1975 Evans served as backup Command Module Pilot for the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project mission .

neg: Vasily Mishin Vasily Pavlovich Mishin ( January 18 , 1917 -- October 10 , 2001 ) was a Soviet engineer and a prominent rocketry pioneer , best remembered for the failures in the Soviet Space program that took place under his leadership .   Mishin was born in der . Buvalyne , Pavlovo-Posadsky District of the Moscow region , Russia , and studied mathematics at the Moscow Aviation Institute .   Mishin was a Soviet rocket scientist and one of the first Soviet specialists to see Nazi Germany 's V-2 facilities at the end of World War II , along with others such as Sergey Korolev , who preceded him as the OKB-1 design bureau head , and Valentin Glushko , who succeeded him .   Mishin worked with Korolev as his deputy in the Experimental Design Bureau working on projects such as the development of the first Soviet ICBM as well in the Sputnik and Vostok programs . He became head of Korolev 's OKB-1 design bureau and was the Chief Designer after Korolev 's death in 1966 , during surgery to remove a tumor from Korolev 's colon . He inherited the N1 rocket program , intended to land a man on the Moon , but which turned out to be fatally flawed ( partly due to lack of adequate funding ) .   N-1 development began on September 14 , 1956 , a decade before Mishin took control . It was selected for a lunar landing mission , which required a design capable of putting ninety-five tons of cargo into orbit , up from fifty and later seventy-five ton requirements earlier in development . Under Korolev , a precedent of forgoing much of the usual ground testing had been begun . According to Korolev , this was because proper facilities would not be funded , and it would also allow for earlier test flights . Some of the failures Mishin faced during his leadership could have been avoided if further testing had been conducted at this stage . To handle engine failures , the KORD system was created under Mishin . To prevent the rocket from having uneven flight that would result from the unbalanced thrust caused by a malfunctioning motor , the faulty motor and the motor opposite it in the rocket base would be turned off . KORD would also make the calculations necessary to compensate for the missing motors , which would allow the same flight path to be maintained .   The N-1 , despite its necessity for planned missions , was never successfully flown . The first test flight , on February 3 , 1969 , had internal plumbing issues which led to a fire one minute in . It did , however , demonstrate the KORD system working successfully as well as proper deployment of the ejection safety system . The second launch , on July 3 , experienced failure seconds after ignition , causing the rocket to fall back on the Launchpad and create significant damage . The third N-1 launch occurred on June 22 , 1971 , after improvements were made to KORD , the cabling , and fuel pumps , and the addition of an extinguishment system and filters . Before the launch , the individual engines were further tested and the Launchpad was repaired . For the first time all thirty engines of the first stage fired successfully , which ironically was the cause of the failure of the flight . When all engines fired together , it created unexpectedly high roll ( rotation along the axis of thrust ) , which was beyond the strength of the compensating vernier engines , designed to keep stable flight . This is again another failure that might have been prevented with proper ground testing .   For the fourth and what would become the final flight of the N-1 , further refinements were made , including four additional vernier engines , additional heat shielding for internal components , a new digital control system , and additional sensors paired with a high speed relay system . The Soviet Space program was now eyeing creating a base on the moon , but first needed to finally succeed with this design . The launch was on November 23 , 1972 , with a Mishin approved flight plan to orbit the moon forty-two times , with flight activities such as taking pictures of future landing sites , before returning to earth on December 4 . The rocket preceded farther than its predecessors , but shortly before the first stage was to separate one engine caught fire , causing the entire structure to explode , but not before the escape structure again properly deployed .   Despite his skills in rocketry , Mishin was not known as an able administrator . He is often blamed for the failure of the program to put a man on the moon , and faced criticisms for his alcohol consumption . He was described by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev as `` not -LSB- having -RSB- the slightest idea how to cope with the many thousands of people , the management of whom had been loaded onto his shoulders , nor make the huge irreversible government machine work for him . ''   In May 1967 , Yuri Gagarin and Alexey Leonov criticised Mishin 's `` poor knowledge of the Soyuz spacecraft and the details of its operation , his lack of cooperation in working with the cosmonauts in flight and training activities '' and asked Nikolai Kamanin for him to be cited in the official report into the Soyuz 1 crash , which killed Vladimir Komarov . Leonov described Mishin as `` hesitant , uninspiring , poor at making decisions , over-reluctant to take risks and bad at managing the cosmonaut corps '' Other failures during his term of leadership were the deaths of the Soyuz 11 crew , the loss of three space stations , and computer failures in four probes sent to Mars .   On May 15 , 1974 , while he was in the hospital , Mishin was replaced by a rival , Chief Engine Designer Valentin Glushko , after all four N-1 test launches failed .   He continued his educational and research works as the head of rocket department of Moscow Aviation Institute .   Vasily Mishin was awarded the title Hero of Socialist Labor for his work with the Soviet space program .   He died in Moscow on October 10 , 2001 at the age of 84 .   His diaries , containing information on the program from 1960 to 1974 , were purchased by the Perot Foundation in 1993 . In 1997 a small part of the collection was donated to the National Air and Space Museum to be put on display , and in 2004 copies were donated to NASA .

neg: Gemini 9A Gemini 9A ( officially Gemini IX-A ) was a 1966 manned spaceflight in NASA 's Gemini program . It was the 7th manned Gemini flight , the 13th manned American flight and the 23rd spaceflight of all time ( includes X-15 flights over 100 km ) . The original crew for Gemini 9 , command pilot Elliot See and pilot Charles Bassett , were killed in a crash on February 28 , 1966 while flying a T-38 jet trainer to the McDonnell Aircraft plant in St. Louis , Missouri to inspect their spacecraft . The mission was flown June 3 -- 6 , 1966 by backup command pilot Thomas P. Stafford and pilot Eugene Cernan . The astronauts rendezvoused with the Augmented Target Docking Adaptor , but were unable to dock with it because the nose fairing failed to eject from the docking target due to a launch preparation error . Cernan performed a two-hour extravehicular activity , during which he was planned to demonstrate free flight in a self-contained rocket pack , the Astronaut Maneuvering Unit . He was unable to accomplish this due to stress , fatigue , and overheating .

Filming stopped in the middle of the sixth season ( 1979-1980 ) , on the advice of star James Garner 's doctor . Garner , who had filmed many of his own stunts , injured his back and knees .   In the 1990s , Rockford returned to the air in a series of eight TV movies on CBS .

neg: B movie A B movie is a low-budget commercial movie , but one that is not an arthouse film . In its original usage , during the Golden Age of Hollywood , the term more precisely identified films intended for distribution as the less-publicized bottom half of a double feature . Although the U.S. production of movies intended as second features largely ceased by the end of the 1950s , the term B movie continues to be used in the broader sense it maintains today . In its post -- Golden Age usage , there is ambiguity on both sides of the definition : on the one hand , the primary interest of many inexpensive exploitation films is prurient ; on the other , many B movies display a high degree of craft and aesthetic ingenuity .   In either usage , most B movies represent a particular genre -- the Western was a Golden Age B movie staple , while low-budget science-fiction and horror films became more popular in the 1950s . Early B movies were often part of series in which the star repeatedly played the same character . Almost always shorter than the top-billed films they were paired with , many had running times of 70 minutes or less . The term connoted a general perception that B movies were inferior to the more handsomely budgeted headliners ; individual B films were often ignored by critics .   Latter-day B movies still sometimes inspire multiple sequels , but series are less common . As the average running time of top-of-the-line films increased , so did that of B pictures . In its current usage , the term has somewhat contradictory connotations : it may signal an opinion that a certain movie is ( a ) a genre film with minimal artistic ambitions or ( b ) a lively , energetic film uninhibited by the constraints imposed on more expensive projects and unburdened by the conventions of putatively `` serious '' independent film . The term is also now used loosely to refer to some higher-budgeted , mainstream films with exploitation-style content , usually in genres traditionally associated with the B movie .   From their beginnings to the present day , B movies have provided opportunities both for those coming up in the profession and others whose careers are waning . Celebrated filmmakers such as Anthony Mann and Jonathan Demme learned their craft in B movies . They are where actors such as John Wayne and Jack Nicholson first became established , and they have provided work for former A movie actors , such as Vincent Price and Karen Black . Some actors , such as Bela Lugosi , Eddie Constantine and Pam Grier , worked in B movies for most of their careers . The term B actor is sometimes used to refer to a performer who finds work primarily or exclusively in B pictures .

neg: Gary Cooper filmography The filmography of Gary Cooper chronicles the film appearances of American actor Gary Cooper . After starting his career in 1925 as a film extra and stuntman , Cooper made his official cinematic debut in 1926 in the Samuel Goldwyn production The Winning of Barbara Worth . He went on to become a contract player with Paramount Pictures where he established himself as a popular leading man prior to the end of the silent film era .   Cooper 's future in the sound era was assured with the release of The Virginian ( 1929 ) , his first all-talkie film . For the next 32 years , he would be one of cinema 's top money-making stars . From 1936 to 1957 , Cooper ranked 18 times among the top ten box office attractions -- a record when he died in 1961 , and later surpassed only by John Wayne , who ranked among the top ten 25 times , Clint Eastwood ( 21 times ) and Tom Cruise ( 20 times ) .   Cooper was nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award five times and won twice , for Sergeant York ( 1942 ) and High Noon ( 1952 ) . The latter film boosted his popularity , resulting in him being the number one box office attraction in 1953 . Cooper received a third Academy Award -- an honorary one -- just prior to his death in 1961 . His final film , The Naked Edge , was released shortly after his death .   As of February 2008 , more than half of Gary Cooper 's feature films are available on DVD , while others not yet on home video are available for television broadcast . Unfortunately , at least two of his silent films -- Beau Sabreur ( 1928 ) and The Legion of the Condemned ( 1928 ) -- are now considered lost films . Another of his silent films , Wolf Song ( 1929 ) , was originally released as a part talkie , but survives only as a silent film . One of Cooper 's earliest talkies , Paramount on Parade ( 1930 ) , survives incomplete .

neg: Stanley Theater (Utica, New York) The Stanley Theatre is a historic Baroque movie palace in Utica , New York . Over the years , it has gone through several changes of ownership , but has always been affiliated with Warner Brothers Pictures .   Originally owned by the Stanley-Mark Strand Corporation chain , the Stanley Theatre ( and entire movie theatre chain ) was purchased three days before opening by Warner Brothers . The company was eager to showcase its products on as many screens as possible . The theatre opened on September 10 , 1928 , with the silent movie Ramona starring Dolores del Río .   Thomas W. Lamb , a prolific theatre architect , designed the 2,963 seat cinema for the Mastbaum chain of theatres . The theatre was named for Stanley , one of the Mastbaum brothers . While Lamb and his firm designed over 300 theatres worldwide , he is considered to be somewhat of a local , having owned a camp in the Adirondacks . ( His great grandson lives in the Albany area today . )   The Stanley was built in less than 13 months on the expanding southern edge of downtown , some four blocks away from Utica 's theatre district . Unfortunately , all the theatres located there were razed during the Urban Renewal era of the 1960s and 70s . The Stanley remained open through all of this , though it suffered many years of benign neglect . In 1974 , when the threat of destruction became very real , the Central New York Community Arts Council ( renamed Stanley Center for the Arts in 2008 ) spearheaded a campaign to acquire the property , which it did for $ 135,000 .   The design motif of the Stanley Theatre is dubbed `` Mexican Baroque '' because of its unique blend of styles . The terra cotta and tiled mosaic exterior shows the Mexican influence , while Habsburg lions , Indian faces , and a multitude of angels and cherubs grace the lavish gold leaf Baroque theatre interior . Moorish influence is also evident in the star-splashed ceiling and twisted columns flanking the stage . Legend has it that the grand entry staircase was designed to resemble the main staircase on the Titanic ocean liner .   While the Stanley Theatre continued to be primarily a movie house , it introduced live events early in its history . Today it is host to the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute Great Artists Series ( over 75 years ) ; Broadway Theatre League ( 50 years ) ; Utica Symphony ( over 60 years ) ; and the Mohawk Valley Ballet ( over 25 years ) .   Notable early performers included legendary singers Marian Anderson , Ezio Pinza , Lily Pons , Jeanette MacDonald , and Gene Autry . Later illustrious entertainers included Chuck Mangione , Conway Twitty , Third Eye Blind , Diana Ross , Barry Manilow , and Harry Connick Jr. . The Stanley was also host to multiple appearances by Jerry Seinfeld , Wynton Marsalis , George Carlin , Itzhak Perlman , Bob Weir & RatDog ! , and B.B. King . More recent performances include Aretha Franklin and legendary songwriter Burt Bacharach . The Broadway Theatre League brought in National Touring productions of Cats ( musical ) , Annie , Evita , Sweeney Todd , and Barnum .   The theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 . It is significant for its relationship to the early movie industry and its distinctive architecture .

neg: The Colgate Sports Newsreel The Colgate Sports Newsreel was a radio program focusing on sports . It has been called `` one of the most successful and most listened-to shows in radio history '' and `` one of radio broadcasting 's most entertaining and engaging programs . '' However , much of the information reported as fact was actually fiction .   The program was first broadcast in October 1939 , on NBC Blue . Although Colgate dropped its sponsorship in June 1951 , the show continued on NBC as Bill Stern 's Sports Newsreel through September 1953 . It then switched to ABC , where it ran until June 1956 . During World War II , the Newsreel was among the programs that NBC rebroadcast by transcription to members of the United States armed forces stationed abroad .   Bill Stern , the star , made the program memorable with his enthusiastic , dramatized delivery . He was already both the narrator of MGM 's News of the Day newsreels , and a sports announcer . Thus , the format of this program came naturally .   For most of its run , the show was sponsored by Colgate brushless shave cream . The opening theme `` was sung in barbershop quartet style to the tune of Mademoiselle from Armentieres '' and mentioned the sponsoring product prominently . Although the singing group was not named in the program , a news brief announcing the show 's launch in 1939 identified it as the Armchair Quartette . The theme 's lyrics varied a bit over the years , but the basic form was as follows :  Bill Stern the Colgate shave-cream man is on the air .  Bill Stern the Colgate shave-cream man with stories rare .  Take his advice and you 'll look keen .  You 'll get a shave that 's smooth and clean .  You 'll be a Colgate brushless fan .   From September 14 , 1953 , through December 10 , 1954 , Budweiser sponsored the program . Its final sponsor was Allstate , from December 13 , 1954 through June 22 , 1956 .

neg: Film poster A film poster is a poster used to promote and advertise a film . Studios often print several posters that vary in size and content for various domestic and international markets . They normally contain an image with text . Today 's posters often feature photographs of the main actors . Prior to the 1990s , illustrations instead of photos were far more common . The text on film posters usually contains the film title in large lettering and often the names of the main actors . It may also include a tagline , the name of the director , names of characters , the release date , etc. .   Film posters are displayed inside and on the outside of movie theaters , and elsewhere on the street or in shops . The same images appear in the film exhibitor 's pressbook and may also be used on websites , DVD ( and historically VHS ) packaging , flyers , advertisements in newspapers and magazines , etc. .   Film posters have been used since the earliest public exhibitions of film . They began as outside placards listing the programme of ( short ) films to be shown inside the hall or movie theater . By the early 1900s , they began to feature illustrations of a film scene or an array of overlaid images from several scenes . Other posters have used artistic interpretations of a scene or even the theme of the film , represented in a wide variety of artistic styles .

query: The youngest of Cronus and Rhea's children is Zeus.

pos: Zeus Zeus -LSB- ˈzju : s -RSB- ( Ζεύς , Zeús , -LSB- zdeǔ̯s -RSB- Modern Δίας , Días -LSB- ˈði.as -RSB- ) is the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek religion , who ruled as king of the gods of Mount Olympus . His name is cognate with the first element of his Roman equivalent Jupiter . His mythologies and powers are similar , though not identical , to those of the Indo-European deities such as Indra , Jupiter , Perun , Thor , and Odin .   Zeus is the child of Cronus and Rhea , the youngest of his siblings to be born , though sometimes reckoned the eldest as the others required disgorging from Cronus 's stomach . In most traditions , he is married to Hera , by whom he is usually said to have fathered Ares , Hebe , and Hephaestus . At the oracle of Dodona , his consort was said to be Dione , by whom the Iliad states that he fathered Aphrodite . Zeus was also infamous for his erotic escapades . These resulted in many godly and heroic offspring , including Athena , Apollo , Artemis , Hermes , Persephone , Dionysus , Perseus , Heracles , Helen of Troy , Minos , and the Muses .   He was respected as an allfather who was chief of the gods and assigned the others to their roles : `` Even the gods who are not his natural children address him as Father , and all the gods rise in his presence . '' He was equated with many foreign weather gods , permitting Pausanias to observe `` That Zeus is king in heaven is a saying common to all men '' . Zeus ' symbols are the thunderbolt , eagle , bull , and oak . In addition to his Indo-European inheritance , the classical `` cloud-gatherer '' ( Greek : Νεφεληγερέτα , Nephelēgereta ) also derives certain iconographic traits from the cultures of the ancient Near East , such as the scepter . Zeus is frequently depicted by Greek artists in one of two poses : standing , striding forward with a thunderbolt leveled in his raised right hand , or seated in majesty .

neg: Dexamenus Dexamenus ( -LSB- dɛkˈsæmᵻnəs -RSB- Greek Δεξάμενος ) was a name attributed to at least three characters in Greek mythology .   Dexamenus , son of Oeceus , king of Olenus . The Centaur Eurytion forced him to betroth his daughter , Mnesimache , to him . Heracles rescued the girl , killing Eurytion when he showed up to claim his bride . In another version of the tale , the girl was instead Deianira , Heracles ' future wife ( elsewhere said to be a daughter of Oeneus or Dionysus and Althaea ) . Heracles violated her and promised her father that he would marry her . After his departure , Eurytion appeared , demanding Deianira as his bride . Her father , afraid , gave in , but Heracles reappeared just in time and slew the Centaur . In yet another variant , the daughter 's name is Hippolyte and Eurytion threatens violence to her at her wedding feast ( she having married Azan ) ; Heracles , who is also attending the feast , kills him . Dexamenus ' other children include Eurypylus and the twins Theronice and Theraephone .  Dexamenus , son of Heracles and father of Ambrax , king of Ambracia ( a city in Epirus ) .  Dexamenus , son of Mesolus and Ambracia , the daughter of Phorbas . After him a part of the region Ambracia was called Dexamenae .

neg: Juno (mythology) Juno ( Iūnō -LSB- ˈjuːnoː -RSB- ) is an ancient Roman goddess , the protector and special counselor of the state . She is a daughter of Saturn and sister ( but also the wife ) of the chief god Jupiter and the mother of Mars and Vulcan . Juno also looked after the women of Rome . Her Greek equivalent was Hera . Her Etruscan counterpart was Uni . As the patron goddess of Rome and the Roman Empire , Juno was called Regina ( `` Queen '' ) and , together with Jupiter and Minerva , was worshipped as a triad on the Capitol ( Juno Capitolina ) in Rome .   Juno 's own warlike aspect among the Romans is apparent in her attire . She often appeared sitting pictured with a peacock armed and wearing a goatskin cloak . The traditional depiction of this warlike aspect was assimilated from the Greek goddess Athena , whose goatskin was called the ` aegis ' .

neg: Pallas (Titan) In Greek mythology , Pallas ( -LSB- / ˈpæl əs / -RSB- Πάλλας ) was one of the Titans . According to Hesiod , he was the son of Crius and Eurybia , the brother of Astraeus and Perses , the husband of Styx , and the father of Zelus ( `` Zeal '' or `` Emulation '' ) , Nike ( `` Victory '' ) , Kratos ( `` Strength '' or `` Power '' ) , and Bia ( `` Might '' or `` Force '' ) . Hyginus says that Pallas , whom he calls `` the giant '' , also fathered with Styx : Scylla , Fontes ( `` Fountains '' ) and Lacus ( `` Lakes '' ) . Pallas was sometimes regarded as the Titan god of warcraft and of the springtime campaign season .   The Homeric Hymn to Hermes makes the moon goddess Selene ( usually the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia ) , the daughter of a Pallas , son of ( otherwise unknown ) Megamedes , which is possibly the same as this Pallas . Ovid uses the patronymic `` Pallantias '' or `` Pallantis '' as another name for Aurora , the Roman equivalent of the Greek Eos ( `` Dawn '' ) , who was the sister of Selene ; Ovid apparently regarding Aurora ( or Eos ) as the daughter of ( or otherwise related to ) Pallas .   The Suda in discussing Athena 's epithet `` Pallas '' suggests a possible derivation `` from brandishing ( pallein ) the spear '' . The geographer Pausanias reports that Pellene , a city in Achaea , was claimed by its inhabitants to be named after Pallas , while the Argives claimed it was named for the Argive Pellen .

neg: Pandora (moon) Pandora ( -LSB- pænˈdɔərə -RSB- ; Πανδώρα ) is an inner satellite of Saturn . It was discovered in 1980 from photos taken by the Voyager 1 probe , and was provisionally designated . In late 1985 it was officially named after Pandora from Greek mythology . It is also designated as .   Pandora was thought to be an outer shepherd satellite of the F Ring . However , recent studies indicate that it does not play such a role , and that only Prometheus , the inner shepherd , contributes to the confinement of the narrow ring . It is more heavily cratered than nearby Prometheus , and has at least two large craters 30 km in diameter . The majority of craters on Pandora are shallow as a result of being filled with debris . Ridges and grooves are also present on moon 's surface .   The orbit of Pandora appears to be chaotic , as a consequence of a series of four 118:121 mean-motion resonances with Prometheus . The most appreciable changes in their orbits occur approximately every 6.2 years , when the periapsis of Pandora lines up with the apoapsis of Prometheus and the moons approach to within about 1400 km . Pandora also has a 3:2 mean-motion resonance with Mimas .   From its very low density and relatively high albedo , it seems likely that Pandora is a very porous icy body . There is a lot of uncertainty in these values , however , so this remains to be confirmed .

neg: Phidias Phidias or Pheidias ( -LSB- ˈfɪdiəs -RSB- Φειδίας , Pheidias ; c. 480 -- 430 BC ) was a Greek sculptor , painter , and architect . His statue of Zeus at Olympia was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World . Phidias also designed the statues of the goddess Athena on the Athenian Acropolis , namely the Athena Parthenos inside the Parthenon , and the Athena Promachos , a colossal bronze which stood between it and the Propylaea , a monumental gateway that served as the entrance to the Acropolis in Athens . Phidias was the son of Charmides of Athens . The ancients believed that his masters were Hegias and Ageladas .   Plutarch discusses Phidias ' friendship with the Greek statesman Pericles , recording that enemies of Pericles tried to attack him through Phidias - who was accused of stealing gold intended for the Parthenon 's statue of Athena , and of impiously portraying himself and Pericles on the shield of the statue . The historical value of this account , as well as the legend about accusations against the ` Periclean circle ' , including Aspasia and Anaxagoras , is debatable , but Aristophanes mentions an incident with Phidias around that time .   Phidias is often credited as the main instigator of the Classical Greek sculptural design . Today , most critics and historians consider him one of the greatest of all ancient Greek sculptors .

neg: Amazonius Apollo Amazonius ( Gr . Ἀμαζόνιος ) was a cultic epithet of the Greek god Apollo , under which he was worshiped , and had a temple at Pyrrhichus in Laconia . The name was derived either from the belief that the mythological Amazons had penetrated into the Peloponnese region as far as Pyrrhichus , or that they themselves had founded Apollo 's temple there .   The sole known reference to this etymology , in Pausanias ' Description of Greece , is an oddity in the study of the Amazon mythological tradition . It is strange to hear of the Amazons in Laconia , a region in no way associated with the usual tale of their invasion of Attica . Pausanias suggests a large Amazonian army halted there , which is also at odds with the Boeotian mythological tradition which indicates only a few Amazons were separated from the host after their defeat by Theseus . Secondly , this Apollo is mentioned as a companion of the goddess Artemis , which was also unusual , and which has led some scholars to speculate that `` Apollo Amazonius '' indicates not the traditional Greek Apollo , but a distinctly non-Hellenic deity , possibly that of the more Asiatic peoples of Laconia , Lycia , Phrygia and Crete , prior to Hellenic colonization . The name `` Apollo '' across different regions of classical antiquity often referred to slightly different entities with varying attributes .

neg: Socus In Greek mythology , the name Socus may refer to :   Socus , a defender of Troy , son of Hippasus and brother of Charops . The brothers were killed by Odysseus .  Socus of Euboea , father of the seven Corybantes ( Prymneus , Mimas , Acmon , Damneus , Ocythous , Idaeus , Melisseus ) by Combe . He expelled his wife and sons from the island , and was ultimately killed by Cecrops , in whose kingdom the Corybantes sought refuge . His name is also mentioned by Hesychius of Alexandria in the form Sochus .  Socus , an epithet of Hermes of obscure etymology . According to a scholiast on the Homeric line where the epithet appears , there was an adjective σῶκος which meant `` strong '' . The ancient authors linked the epithet to the Greek stem σω - < σαο - `` whole , safe '' . Despite the attempts of modern scholars to elaborate on this etymological suggestion , no satisfactory explanation has been provided as of 1977 .

neg: Hades Hades ( -LSB- ˈheɪdiːz -RSB- -LSB- or Άͅδης , Háidēs ) was the ancient Greek chthonic god of the underworld , which eventually took his name .   In Greek mythology , Hades was regarded as the oldest son of Cronus and Rhea , although the last son regurgitated by his father . He and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon defeated their father 's generation of gods , the Titans , and claimed rulership over the cosmos . Hades received the underworld , Zeus the sky , and Poseidon the sea , with the solid earth -- long the province of Gaia -- available to all three concurrently . Hades was often portrayed with his three-headed guard dog Cerberus .   The Etruscan god Aita and Roman gods Dis Pater and Orcus were eventually taken as equivalent to the Greek Hades and merged as Pluto , a Latinization of his euphemistic Greek name Plouton .

neg: Polyphemus Polyphemus ( -LSB- ˌpɒlᵻˈfiːməs -RSB- Πολύφημος Polyphēmos ) is the giant son of Poseidon and Thoosa in Greek mythology , one of the Cyclopes described in Homer 's Odyssey . His name means `` abounding in songs and legends '' . Polyphemus first appears as a savage man-eating giant in the ninth book of the Odyssey . Some later Classical writers link his name with the nymph Galatea and present him in a different light .

neg: Arbius Arbius was a toponymic epithet of the Greek god Zeus , derived from Mount Arbias in Crete - in modern times , the hills and chasms near Arvi - where he was worshipped .   It is also hypothesized that `` Arbius '' has some relationship to the Latin arbor ( `` tree '' ) , as Zeus was known to have been worshipped as a tree god on Crete .

neg: Kratos (mythology) In Greek mythology , Kratos or Cratus ( Ancient Greek : Κράτος ( `` Power '' ) is the son of Pallas and Styx ; he and his siblings Nike ( `` Victory '' ) , Bia ( `` Force '' ) , and Zelus ( `` Glory '' ) are all essentially personifications . Kratos , along with Bia , make a brief appearance in Aeschylus 's Prometheus Bound , where in the opening scene , acting as agents of Zeus , they lead their captive , the Titan Prometheus on stage , and instruct Hephaestus to chain Prometheus to a rock , as punishment for his theft of fire . In Aeschylus 's Libation Bearers Electra calls upon Kratos , Dike ( `` Justice '' ) and Zeus to aid her brother Orestes .

neg: Cledonism In the occult of classical antiquity , cledonism , or cledonomancy , was a kind of divination based on chance events or encounters , such as words occasionally uttered . The word is formed from the Greek κληδών which signifies rumor , a report , omen , fame , name .   Cicero observes that the Pythagoreans made observation not only of the words of the gods , but of those of men ; and accordingly believed the pronouncing of certain words , e.g. the word incendium ( destruction , ruin ) , at a meal to be very unlucky . Thus , instead of prison , they used the word domicilium ( residence , dwelling ) ; and to avoid Erinyes , said Eumenides .   According to Pausanias , cledonism was popular at Smyrna , where the Apollonian Oracles were interpreted . He also mentions its use at the shrine of Hermes Agoraios in Pharae . An individual , upon whispering a question into the god 's ear , plugged his own ears , left the agora , and then listened for the god 's answer among the chance words of pedestrians . This was likely popular because the individual selectively chose which words formed the answer .   An example of cledonism occurs in the Odyssey , Book XX . Before taking vengeance on the suitors , Odysseus asks for a divine sign , and Zeus answers with a clap of thunder . This is immediately followed by words from a servant-woman , asking Zeus to `` let this be the very last day that the suitors dine in the house of Odysseus . ''

neg: Astyanax In Greek mythology , Astyanax ( -LSB- əˈstaɪ.ənæks -RSB- Ἀστυάναξ Astyánax , `` protector of the city '' ) was the son of Hector , the crown prince of Troy and husband of Princess Andromache of Cilician Thebe . His birth name was Scamandrius ( in Greek : Σκαμάνδριος Skamandrios , after the river Scamander ) , but the people of Troy nicknamed him Astyanax ( i.e. high king , or overlord of the city ) , because he was the son of the city 's great defender ( Iliad VI , 403 ) and the heir apparent 's firstborn son .   During the Trojan War , Andromache hid the child in Hector 's tomb , but the child was discovered . His fate was debated by the Greeks , for if he were allowed to live , it was feared he would avenge his father and rebuild Troy . In the version given by the Little Iliad and repeated by Pausanias ( x 25.4 ) , he was killed by Neoptolemus ( also called Pyrrhus ) , who threw the infant from the walls . Another version is given in Iliou persis , in which Odysseus kills Astyanax . It has also been depicted in some Greek vases that Neoptolemus kills Priam , who has taken refuge near a sacred altar , using Astyanax 's dead body to club the old king to death , in front of horrified onlookers . In Ovid 's Metamorphoses , the child is thrown from the walls by the Greek victors ( 13 , 413ff ) . In Euripides 's The Trojan Women ( 719 ff ) , the herald Talthybius reveals to Andromache that Odysseus has convinced the council to have the child thrown from the walls , and the child is in this way killed . In Seneca 's version of The Trojan Women , the prophet Calchas declares that Astyanax must be thrown from the walls if the Greek fleet is to be allowed favorable winds ( 365 -- 70 ) , but once led to the tower , the child himself leaps off the walls ( 1100 -- 3 ) . Other sources for the story of the Sack of Troy and Astyanax 's death can be found in the Bibliotheca ( Pseudo-Apollodorus ) , Hyginus ( Fabula 109 ) , Tryphiodorus ( Sack of Troy 644 -- 6 ) .

neg: Apollonian and Dionysian The Apollonian and Dionysian is a philosophical and literary concept , or dichotomy , based on certain features of ancient Greek mythology . Many Western philosophical and literary figures have invoked this dichotomy in critical and creative works .   In Greek mythology , Apollo and Dionysus are both sons of Zeus . Apollo is the god of rational thinking and order , appealing to prudence and purity . On the other hand , Dionysus is the god of the irrationality and chaos , appealing to emotions and instincts .   The Greeks did not consider the two gods to be opposites or rivals , although often the two deities were entwined by nature .

In the Odyssey , during the sea-voyage from Troy back home to Ithaca , the Greek hero Odysseus provokes Poseidon 's fury by blinding his son the Cyclops Polyphemus , resulting in Poseidon punishing him with storms , the complete loss of his ship and companions , and a ten-year delay . Poseidon is also the subject of a Homeric hymn . In Plato 's Timaeus and Critias , the island of Atlantis was Poseidon 's domain . His Roman equivalent is Neptune .

In Homer 's Odyssey Calypso detained Odysseus on Ogygia for 7 years and kept him from returning to his home of Ithaca , wanting to marry him . Athena complained about Calypso 's actions to Zeus , who sent the messenger Hermes to Ogygia to order Calypso to release Odysseus . Hermes is Odysseus 's great grandfather on his mother 's side , through Autolycos . Calypso finally , though reluctantly , instructed Odysseus to build a small raft , gave him food and wine , and let him depart the island .   The Odyssey describes Ogygia as follows :

Her father was credited with founding the first temple of Hera in Argolis , as well as with carving a wooden image of the goddess for the sanctuary ; it was at this temple that Callithyia performed her duties as priestess . Scholia on Aratus mention her as the inventor of the chariot and the mother of Trochilus .   Callithyia is perhaps identical with `` Io Callithyessa '' , `` the first priestess of Athena '' according to Hesychius of Alexandria . In a lesser known version of the Argive genealogy , Io was the daughter of Peiren , likely the same as Peiras .

neg: Faust Faust is the protagonist of a classic German legend . He is a scholar who is highly successful yet dissatisfied with his life , which leads him to make a pact with the Devil , exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures . The Faust legend has been the basis for many literary , artistic , cinematic , and musical works that have reinterpreted it through the ages . `` Faust '' and the adjective  `` Faustian '' imply a situation in which an ambitious person surrenders moral integrity in order to achieve power and success for a delimited term .   The Faust of early books -- as well as the ballads , dramas , movies , and puppet-plays which grew out of them -- is irrevocably damned because he prefers human to divine knowledge ; `` he laid the Holy Scriptures behind the door and under the bench , refused to be called doctor of Theology , but preferred to be styled doctor of Medicine '' . Plays and comic puppet theatre loosely based on this legend were popular throughout Germany in the 16th century , often reducing Faust and Mephistopheles to figures of vulgar fun . The story was popularised in England by Christopher Marlowe , who gave it a classic treatment in his play , The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus ( of which the date for publication is debated , but was likely around 1587 ) . In Goethe 's reworking of the story two hundred years later , Faust becomes a dissatisfied intellectual who yearns for `` more than earthly meat and drink '' in his life .

In Budapest he studied with a man called Yosef Vrolok but refused to `` descend to the foul depths of forbidden occultism and diabolism to which -LSB- he -RSB- sank '' . In revenge , Vrolok used his `` vile arts '' to turn '' the only woman Kirowan ever loved '' , against him and `` debauched '' her . In order to have his own revenge , Kirowan travelled the world seeking greater knowledge of the occult but became sickened by what he learned and renounced this knowledge .   In later life he joined the Wanderer 's Club , `` which is composed of the drift of the world , travelers , eccentrics , and all manner of men whose paths lie outside  the beaten tracks of life . ''   The story The Haunter of the Ring provides much of Kirowan 's background as well as establishing a link to Howard 's Conan stories . The ring of the title is Thoth-Amon 's Serpent Ring of Set , first mentioned in the short story The Phoenix on the Sword . Kirowan states that it has been `` handed down by foul cults of sorcerers since the days of forgotten Stygia . ''

neg: Dīs Pater Dīs Pater -LSB- diːs ˈpa.tɛr -RSB- was a Roman god of the underworld , later subsumed by Pluto or Hades ( Hades was Greek ) . Originally a chthonic god of riches , fertile agricultural land , and underground mineral wealth , he was later commonly equated with the Roman deities Pluto and Orcus , becoming an underworld deity .   Dīs Pater was commonly shortened to simply Dīs . This name has since become an alternative name for the underworld or a part of the underworld , such as the City of Dis of The Divine Comedy .   It is often thought that Dīs Pater was also a Celtic god . This confusion arises from the second-hand citation of one of Julius Caesar 's comments in his Commentaries on the Gallic Wars VI :18 , where he says that the Gauls all claimed descent from Dīs Pater . However , Caesar 's remark is a clear example of interpretatio Romana : what Caesar meant was that the Gauls all claimed descent from a Gaulish god that reminded him of the Roman Dīs Pater , that is , a chthonic deity associated with prosperity and fertility . Different possible candidates exist for this role in Celtic religion , such as Gaulish Sucellus , Irish Donn and Welsh Beli Mawr , among others .

neg: Deliria Deliria : Faerie Tales for a New Millennium is an `` interactive urban fantasy setting '' created by Phil Brucato . The title refers to an altered state of awareness in which several levels of reality can be perceived at once , to both good and ill effect .   The core concept behind Deliria is one of `` ordinary people in an extraordinary world . '' Inspired by classical fairy tales and urban fantasy , the setting presents a multicultural world in which magic is always present but often invisible . To `` twilight people '' who encounter the magical realm , the world becomes a frightening yet wonderful place . Meanwhile , the immortal faeries , or aelderfolk , regard mortal humanity with a mixture of awe and terror . The accelerating pace of human imagination reverberates through both worlds , bringing changes that many aelders fear . Within the tensions of this setting , ordinary people become heroes - or villains - in their own new fairy tales .   Inspired by authors like Charles de Lint , Erik Davis and Francesca Lia Block , films like Edward ScissorHands and Practical Magic , world music and ethereal wave music , and TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Deliria 's setting emphasizes `` normal people '' over superheroes . As a role-playing game , it features a flexible rules system , collaborative storytelling , and a character-crafting process based on telling stories about the character . Deliria has also been noted for its vivid digital art , evocative short stories , and emphasis of `` courage rather than carnage . ''

neg: Gorse Trilogy The Gorse Trilogy is a series of three novels , the last published works of the author Patrick Hamilton . The stories follow the anti-hero Ernest Ralph Gorse , whose heartlessness and lack of scruple are matched only by the inventiveness and panache with which he swindles his victims .
