  • Grailquest-Manual
    ·Adventure in the Age of King Arthur By Robert W. Hommel Published by Artworx Software Co.,·Inc. Penfield, New York Macintosh version About GrailQuest... In GrailQuest™ you portray Perceval, a young knight of the Round Table. Perceval has arrived at Camelot, the mythic capital of King Arthur's realm, only to find the King strangely troubled. His kingdom, it seems, is in disarray. The great victories of the past that unified England are now largely forgotten. The Saxon invaders have returned and won back much of their former land. Strongholds that once enforced Arthur's borders have fallen into disrepair - or worse, now guard Arthur's enemies. Merlin, the King's trusted advisor for so many years, has disappeared after seemingly falling in love with a young enchantress. A strange malaise has fallen on the Round Table. The knights who helped Arthur build an empire to rival ancient Rome now spend their days in Court intrigue and their nights besotted with wine and their mistresses. Then, as Merlin foretold, Arthur received a vision. "In the days of your decline," Merlin had said, "You shall see a vision of the Holy Grail It shall become the focus of a great Quest. All your knights shall seek it, and in seeking it, shall find themselves. And he that finds the Grail shall become the greatest and noblest of knights. And in finding the Grail, he shall restore the realm to its former grandeur and the Waste Land shall flower once again, and the maimed King shall be healed." And so it was.

The task has been a long and an onerous one during its execution my health failed me repeatedly—to this, as well as to my resolve to explore every portion of the vast tract of Romantic literature that lay before me, and, I candidly confess it, to miscalculation of the complexity of the task, must be attributed the delay which has taken place in the issue of this third volume. I can, however, assure the subscribers to my work that, as regrettable as this delay may have appeared to some of them, it has enabled me to attain results of which I had no idea when I began my task.

  • The Myth of the Amazons Maria Balla
    The myth of the Amazons Maria Balla SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts (MA) in Black Sea cultural Studies February 2017 Thessaloniki – Greece Student Name: Maria Balla SID: 2201140004 Supervisor: Prof. Manolis Manoledakis I hereby declare that the work submitted is mine and that where I have made use of another’s work, I have attributed the source(s) according to the Regulations set in the Student’s Handbook. 02/2017 Thessaloniki - Greece ABSTRACT This dissertation was written as part of the MA in Black Sea cultural Studies at the In- ternational Hellenic University. The aim of this paper is to analyze the different varia- tions and the most predominant versions of the myth of the Amazons and to present the basic mythological references of these wild warriors. Additionally, the individual mythological facts are described and the most famous figures of the Amazons are high- lighted. The individual characteristics that are presented bring into negotiation the dif- ferent aspects concerning the social, cultural and historical dimensions of the myth. This paper searches the reasons why this myth was created and why it became part of the Greek mythology and determines the value of the myth in general. It also presents clearly both the mythological status of the Amazons based on literary sources and the particular features of their existence in a wider context. On a second level, the figure of the Amazons is approached as a social and political phenomenon of the classical pe- riod and especially of the Athenian society. It examines the contribution of the social stereotypes of the era to the formation of the myth and the relationship with the xen- ophobic climate against the Persians.

    The Sessile Kantharos of the Archaic Northeast Aegean Ceramic Assemblage: the Anatolian Connection Petya Ilieva* Abstract The presence of a particular version of kantharos, absent from the Greek ceramic repertoire, has long ago been noticed in the Archaic wares of the Northeastern Aegean/Northwestern Anatolia. This tall conical cup with two high, strap, rim-han- dles and low, ring base appears mainly in the repertory of the G2/3 and Gray Wares, but contemporary variations of the shape, produced in the style of other pottery groups (Chian, Lemnian monochrome Red Ware, LG/Sub-Geometric from Antandros, Samian LG) evidence the flux of knowledge between the workshops of the Archaic North Aegean ceramic koine. The kantharos, however, is well paralleled in a LBA West Anatolian vase, which provides a possible prototype of the shape. Zusammenfassung Das Vorkommen einer speziellen, nicht im griechischen Keramikrepertoire vorhandenen Kantharos-Form ist seit längerem im archaischen Warenkatalog der Nordost-Ägäis und in Nordwest-Anatolien bekannt. Dieser hochaufragende konische Be- cher mit zwei überrandständigen Bandhenkeln und flachem Standring kommt hauptsächlich im Repertoire der G2/3-Ware und der Grauen Waren vor, jedoch belegen zeitgleiche Formvarianten, produziert im Stile anderer Keramikgruppen (mono- chrome rote Ware von Chios, Lemnos, spät/subgeometrische von Antandros und Samos), den Austausch zwischen den Werkstätten der archaischen Keramikkoine in der Nord-Ägäis. Der Kantharos jedenfalls ist gut vergleichbar mit einer spät- bronzezeitlichen Gefässform West-Anatoliens, die einen möglichen Prototyp dieser Form darstellt. Introduction thin, fine ridges and the high, strap handles provide the vase with a rather ›metallic‹ look.

B roGGI KUrZFASSUnG erst kürzlich gaben STrAchInIS & r oUSSoS (2016) einen aktuellen Überblick über die herpetofauna der Ägäisinsel Limnos. Die exkursion des Autors im Jahr 2016 war allerdings speziell der herpetologischen Unter - suchung der Feuchtgebiete gewidmet und basierte auf dem World Wide Fund For nature (WWF) Feuchtgebiets- Inventar der griechischen Inseln. Auf Limnos waren 50 Inventarobjekte erfaßt. Gemäß WWF-Kartierung und eigener Untersuchung konnten an 22 dieser Lokalitäten Vorkommen von Mauremys rivulata (V ALencIenneS , 1833) und an neun Stellen solche von Emys orbicularis (L InnAeUS , 1758) festgestellt werden. Damit weist Limnos eines der größten Vorkommen dieser Wasserschildkröten in der Ägäis auf. Als Standorte sind die Umgebung der Salz- und Brackwasserseen im nordosten der Insel bedeutsam, ebenso die zahlreichen durch Strandwallbildung blockierten Ästuarien der Fließgewässer. ein für die herpetofauna bedeutendes Feuchtgebiet ist eine Abgrabungs - stelle mit entwickelten Feuchtgebietsstrukturen. Diesen Feuchtgebieten kommt eine hohe naturschutzbedeutung zu, sie sind aber nur teilweise durch natura2000-Gebeite abgedeckt.
