In Greek mythology , Thanatos ( Greek : Θάνατος ( Thánatos ) , " Death ," [ 1 ] from θνῄσκω - thnēskō , "to die, be dying" [ 2 ] ) was the daemon personification of death. He was a minor figure in Greek mythology, often referred to but rarely appearing in person. His name is transliterated in Latin as Thanatus , but his equivalent in Roman mythology is Mors or Letus / Letum , [ citation needed ] and he is sometimes identified erroneously with Orcus (Orcus himself had a Greek equivalent in the form of Horkos , God of the Oath). [ citation needed ] In myth and poetry The Greek poet Hesiod established in his Theogony that Thánatos is a son of Nyx (Night) and Erebos (Darkness) and twin of Hypnos (Sleep).

Pocahontas (born Matoaka , and later known as Rebecca Rolfe , c. 1595 – March 1617) was a Virginia Indian [ 1 ] [ 2 ] notable for her association with the colonial settlement at Jamestown, Virginia . Pocahontas was the daughter of Powhatan , the paramount chief [ 1 ] of a network of tributary tribal nations in the Tidewater region of Virginia . In a well-known historical anecdote, she is said to have saved the life of an Indian captive, Englishman John Smith , in 1607 by placing her head upon his own when her father raised his war club to execute him. Pocahontas was captured by the English during Anglo-Indian hostilities in 1613, and held for ransom. During her captivity, she converted to Christianity and took the name Rebecca. When the opportunity arose for her to return to her people, she chose to remain with the English.

Herzog is considered one of the greatest figures of the New German Cinema , along with Rainer Werner Fassbinder , Margarethe von Trotta , Volker Schlöndorff , Werner Schröter , and Wim Wenders . Herzog's films often feature heroes with impossible dreams, [ 1 ] people with unique talents in obscure fields, or individuals who find themselves in conflict with nature. [ 2 ] French filmmaker François Truffaut once called Herzog "the most important film director alive" [ 3 ] and American film critic Roger Ebert stated that Herzog "has never created a single film that is compromised, shameful, made for pragmatic reasons or uninteresting. Even his failures are spectacular." [ 4 ] [ edit ] Personal life

The Merchant of Venice (2004 film)
The Merchant of Venice is a 2004 romantic drama film based on Shakespeare 's play of the same name . It is the first full-length sound film version in English of Shakespeare's play; most other versions are videotaped productions made for television. There had been a British early sound nine-minute short subject production of the trial scene in 1927, with Lewis Casson as Shylock and Sybil Thorndike (Casson's wife) as Portia. The 2004 adaptation follows the text very closely, only missing occasional lines. The director, Michael Radford , believed that Shylock was Shakespeare's first tragic hero , who reaches a catastrophe due to his own flaws: [ 2 ] thus the film does not show Shylock purely as a villain, but partly also as a victim. It begins with text and a montage of how the Jewish community is abused by the Christian population of Venice .Christopher Columbus ( Italian : Cristoforo Colombo ; Spanish : Cristóbal Colón ; Portuguese : Cristóvão Colombo ; before 31 October 1451 – 20 May 1506) was an explorer, navigator, and colonizer, born in the Republic of Genoa , in what is today northwestern Italy . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Under the auspices of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain, he completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean that led to general European awareness of the American continents . Those voyages, and his efforts to establish permanent settlements on the island of Hispaniola , initiated the Spanish colonization of the New World .

A conversion disorder causes patients to suffer from neurological symptoms, such as numbness , blindness , paralysis , or fits without a definable organic cause. It is thought that symptoms arise in response to stressful situations affecting a patient's mental health, however no concrete evidence has been found that proves episodes of conversion are not symptoms of an underlying organic cause. Telling the patient that the blindness, stroke, or movement disorder has no organic cause will not cure them; it is important to recognize that the patient's symptoms are very real, not malingering or factitious. Conversion disorder is considered a psychiatric disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders fourth edition ( DSM-IV ). [ 1 ]

Hypochondriasis or hypochondria (sometimes referred to as health phobia or health anxiety ) refers to excessive preoccupancy or worry about having a serious illness. This debilitating condition is the result of an inaccurate perception of the body’s condition despite the absence of an actual medical condition. [ 1 ] An individual suffering from hypochondriasis is known as a hypochondriac . Hypochondriacs become unduly alarmed about any physical symptoms they detect, no matter how minor the symptom may be.Somatization disorder
Somatization disorder (also Briquet's syndrome or hysteria ) is a somatoform disorder characterized by recurring, multiple, clinically significant complaints about pain, gastrointestinal, sexual and pseudoneurological symptoms. Those complaints must begin before the individual turns 30 years of age, [ 1 ] and could last for several years, resulting in either treatment seeking behavior or significant treatment. [ 2 ] Individuals with somatization disorder typically visit many doctors in pursuit of effective treatment. Somatization disorder also causes challenge and burden on the life of the caregivers or significant others of the patient.
