  • The Odyssey, Book One 273 the ODYSSEY
    05_273-611_Homer 2/Aesop 7/10/00 1:25 PM Page 273 HOMER / The Odyssey, Book One 273 THE ODYSSEY Translated by Robert Fitzgerald The ten-year war waged by the Greeks against Troy, culminating in the overthrow of the city, is now itself ten years in the past. Helen, whose flight to Troy with the Trojan prince Paris had prompted the Greek expedition to seek revenge and reclaim her, is now home in Sparta, living harmoniously once more with her husband Meneláos (Menelaus). His brother Agamémnon, commander in chief of the Greek forces, was murdered on his return from the war by his wife and her paramour. Of the Greek chieftains who have survived both the war and the perilous homeward voyage, all have returned except Odysseus, the crafty and astute ruler of Ithaka (Ithaca), an island in the Ionian Sea off western Greece. Since he is presumed dead, suitors from Ithaka and other regions have overrun his house, paying court to his attractive wife Penélopê, endangering the position of his son, Telémakhos (Telemachus), corrupting many of the servants, and literally eating up Odysseus’ estate. Penélopê has stalled for time but is finding it increasingly difficult to deny the suitors’ demands that she marry one of them; Telémakhos, who is just approaching young manhood, is becom- ing actively resentful of the indignities suffered by his household. Many persons and places in the Odyssey are best known to readers by their Latinized names, such as Telemachus. The present translator has used forms (Telémakhos) closer to the Greek spelling and pronunciation.

  • Introduction to Paul's Letter to the Philippians
    Reading The Greek New Testament www.misselbrook.org.uk/ Philippians Introduction to Paul's letter to the Philippians The Dating of the Prison Epistles Paul's Epistles, or letters, to the Philippians, Philemon, Colossians and Ephesians are known collectively as his Prison Epistles. They were evidently written while Paul was in prison and uncertain whether he would be freed or face death (see particularly Philippians 1:12-25). But the key question is when and from where were they written? Many have argued that they were written from Paul's final imprisonment in Rome, therefore dating them after his letter to the Romans. Others have thought that they may have been written during Paul's imprisonment in Caesarea, after his arrest in the Temple at Jerusalem but before his transportation to Rome. These are the only occasions of lengthy imprisonment recorded in the Book of Acts. However, in recent years many scholars have suggested that Paul may have been imprisoned in Ephesus in the early to mid 50s. N T Wright has provided what I believe to be persuasive arguments for this view. In particular, he and Michael Bird provide the following four arguments for this view in their excellent co-authored book, The New Testament in Its World (p. 439), which I summarise as follows: 1. Paul stayed in Ephesus for some time. An Ephesian imprisonment is a reasonable deduction based on Luke's report of the riots his preaching stirred up, his own reference to, "the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia" (2 Corinthians 1:8), and to his enigmatic remark about fighting "wild beasts in Ephesus" (1 Corinthians 15:32).

During the calendar year of 2013 our membership contributed more than 109 hours to visits of individuals in nursing homes, hospitals and caring of the sick. Members made bereaved (visits of condolence) in the amount of 55 hours. And we served as blood donors 5 times.

Our membership donated in excess of $57,295.00 to charitable and benevolent causes. Fraternal hours within the order was in excess of 538 hours. Ten years sounds like a long time, but it has passed very quickly. When we started we weren't sure if this thing would "fly". We all had busy lives with Reflection by career, family and other civic obligations. Would cramming one more thing into a finite number of hours in a day really work? Well, it seems the old say- Grand Chaplain ing is true: " If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it".

  • The People's Capital: the Politics of Popular Wealth In
    The People’s Capital: The Politics of Popular Wealth in the Gilded Age By Robert Gabriel Nelson A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Robin Einhorn, Chair Professor Caitlin Rosenthal Professor David Henkin Professor Chrisopher Tomlins Spring 2019 1 Abstract The People’s Capital: The Politics of Popular Wealth in the Gilded Age by Robert Gabriel Nelson Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Robin Einhorn, Chair The proliferation of financial practices and institutions throughout the mass of American society throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth century produced a wide range of social effects. From changing discourses about racial progress and equality to aspirations for integrating rebellious workers into a system of financial-industrial capitalism, anxieties about financial panics to the possibilities of worker-owned cooperatives, popular engagement with the financial apparatus became the very stuff of American life. This dissertation looks at a wide range of primary sources— political pamphlets, bank statements, cooperative prospectuses, reform newspapers, trade journals, novels, and congressional testimony—to link changes in the form and nature of popular wealth to the development of mass politics. As the scattered but substantial wealth of the American working classes began to congeal in institutional forms, a wide variety of historical actors struggled over what to do with the people’s capital. i Acknowledgments As is the case with all dissertations, “The People’s Capital” reflects the hard work, attention, and dedication of many individuals.
