Sample Odyssey Passage
The Odyssey of Homer Translated from Greek into English prose in 1879 by S.H. Butcher and Andrew Lang. Book I In a Council of the Gods, Poseidon absent, Pallas procureth an order for the restitution of Odysseus; and appearing to his son Telemachus, in human shape, adviseth him to complain of the Wooers before the Council of the people, and then go to Pylos and Sparta to inquire about his father. Tell me, Muse, of that man, so ready at need, who wandered far and wide, after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy, and many were the men whose towns he saw and whose mind he learnt, yea, and many the woes he suffered in his heart upon the deep, striving to win his own life and the return of his company. Nay, but even so he saved not his company, though he desired it sore. For through the blindness of their own hearts they perished, fools, who devoured the oxen of Helios Hyperion: but the god took from them their day of returning. Of these things, goddess, daughter of Zeus, whencesoever thou hast heard thereof, declare thou even unto us. Now all the rest, as many as fled from sheer destruction, were at home, and had escaped both war and sea, but Odysseus only, craving for his wife and for his homeward path, the lady nymph Calypso held, that fair goddess, in her hollow caves, longing to have him for her lord. But when now the year had come in the courses of the seasons, wherein the gods had ordained that he should return home to Ithaca, not even there was he quit of labours, not even among his own; but all the gods had pity on him save Poseidon, who raged continually against godlike Odysseus, till he came to his own country. -
Entomologica 31 1997 Entomologica18/05/98
Entomologica, Bari, 31, (1997): 13-75 MARCELA SKUHRAVA 1 - VACLAV SKUHRAVY 2 Gall midges (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) of Greece ABSTRACT The present gall midge fauna comprises 167 species which were found at 67 localities in Greece during expeditions in 1994, 1995 and 1996. In the period 1880-1993 only 20 gall midge species were recorded from Greece; 149 are new records. An annotated list of gall midge species is given. It includes collection sites together with biological and zoogeographical data. The gall midge fauna is evaluated from the point of view of zoogeography and economic importance. From 2 to 21 species were found at individual localities. The average species number per locality determined from the whole territory of Greece (including Crete) is very low, only 9.3. 35 species were found in north-eastern, 78 in north-western and 80 in the middle part; 56 species in Peloponesos and 38 species in Crete. Horizontal occurrence: 52% species are very rare, 24% rare, 9% moderately frequent, 10% frequent and only 5% occur very frequently. Dasineura turionum causing galls on stems of Asparagus acutifolius is the most abundant species in Greece found at 30 localities. Vertical occurrence: the average number of species does not decrease significantly with increasing altitude. Gall midge species composition change significantly with changing plant communities from the coast near the sea level up to mountains following the altitudinal gradient. Of the Palaearctic species, 33% are European, 12% Euro-Siberian, 50% Mediterranean and sub- Mediterranean, and 5% are Holarctic species. Nine species occurred in the past as pests of cultiva- ted plants of which Odinadiplosis amygdali is a serious pest of almond and peach up to the pre- sent. -
Philosophy and the Foreigner in Plato's Dialogues
Philosophy and the Foreigner in Plato’s Dialogues By Rebecca LeMoine A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON 2014 Date of final oral examination: 06/20/2014 The dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: Richard Avramenko, Associate Professor, Political Science Alex Dressler, Assistant Professor, Classics Daniel Kapust, Associate Professor, Political Science Helen Kinsella, Associate Professor, Political Science John Zumbrunnen, Professor, Political Science i ABSTRACT The place of foreigners in Plato’s thought remains understudied despite the prevalence of foreign characters, myths, and practices throughout his dialogues. Attending to this gap in the scholarly literature, this dissertation challenges conventional depictions of Plato as hostile to diversity by showing that Plato makes a compelling case for why we should engage with foreigners: the epistemological benefits of cross-cultural engagement. Through exegetical readings of the Republic, Laws, Phaedrus, and Menexenus, I argue that Plato finds cross-cultural dialogue epistemologically beneficial owing to its ability to provoke us to philosophize together, an activity at once conducive to the quest for wisdom and generative of friendship. Put simply, conversations with foreigners perform the same role as the Socratic gadfly of stinging us into consciousness. This finding has major implications for the field of political theory and, specifically, for the role of the new subfield commonly referred to as comparative political theory. By demonstrating the centrality of cross-cultural dialogue to Plato’s conception of political theory, this dissertation suggests that comparative political theory is not a deviation from the tradition of Western political theory, but a restoration of it. -
Reply to Paul Cartledge's Democracy
SYMPOSIUM THE LIFE, THE IMAGE AND THE PROBLEMS OF DEMOCRACY REPLY TO PAUL CARTLEDGE’S DEMOCRACY: A LIFE BY JAMES KIERSTEAD © 2019 – Philosophy and Public Issues (New Series), Vol. 9, No. 2 (2019): 57-73 Luiss University Press E-ISSN 2240-7987 | P-ISSN 1591-0660 [THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] THE LIFE, THE IMAGE AND THE PROBLEMS OF DEMOCRACY Reply to Paul Cartledge’s Democracy: A Life James Kierstead t’s been a about a couple of years now since I read Paul Cartledge’s excellent, and highly readable, ‘life’ of democracy, and almost a year since my review of it was I published in Polis (Kierstead 2018a). What Professor Cartledge probably doesn’t know is that my review was rejected from the journal that originally commissioned it for being too harsh! Professor Cartledge himself, of course, had no need of such ‘protection,’ and when the review did come out in Polis I was delighted to see an email from him thanking me for the close reading I’d given his work. A robust but friendly exchange ensued over email; and I’m now doubly delighted to have the opportunity of continuing that conversation with him here. At the core of Cartledge’s statement for this volume is a summary of the three main objectives he had for his book. The main effect this section had on me was to remind me once again of how much I found to agree with in his basic view of the history of democracy. I think he is right, for example, that democracy first came into being in ancient Greece. -

The Ionian Islands in British Official Discourses; 1815-1864
1 Constructing Ionian Identities: The Ionian Islands in British Official Discourses; 1815-1864 Maria Paschalidi Department of History University College London A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to University College London 2009 2 I, Maria Paschalidi, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract Utilising material such as colonial correspondence, private papers, parliamentary debates and the press, this thesis examines how the Ionian Islands were defined by British politicians and how this influenced various forms of rule in the Islands between 1815 and 1864. It explores the articulation of particular forms of colonial subjectivities for the Ionian people by colonial governors and officials. This is set in the context of political reforms that occurred in Britain and the Empire during the first half of the nineteenth-century, especially in the white settler colonies, such as Canada and Australia. It reveals how British understandings of Ionian peoples led to complex negotiations of otherness, informing the development of varieties of colonial rule. Britain suggested a variety of forms of government for the Ionians ranging from authoritarian (during the governorships of T. Maitland, H. Douglas, H. Ward, J. Young, H. Storks) to representative (under Lord Nugent, and Lord Seaton), to responsible government (under W. Gladstone’s tenure in office). All these attempted solutions (over fifty years) failed to make the Ionian Islands governable for Britain. The Ionian Protectorate was a failed colonial experiment in Europe, highlighting the difficulties of governing white, Christian Europeans within a colonial framework. -
