    1186 B.C.E. the Trojan War Greece

    1186 B.C.E. The Trojan War Greece The events in the myth of The Judgement of Paris started a period of war called the Trojan War, in which the city of Troy and its allies fought the city­state of Sparta and its allies. Most of what we know of the Trojan War comes from epics such as Homer’s I​liad a​nd O​ dyssey,​ but there is evidence that the Trojan War was a real event; the problem is that we don’t know exactly how much of what is described in the I​liad ​is true. For example, the I​liad f​eatures Gods and Goddesses not present in modern society or belief, as well as people that may have been idealized as war heroes. The following is what we know about the events of the Trojan War from the I​liad.​ Menelaus, the king of Sparta, was so angry that Paris had taken his wife that he set out to wage war with Paris and the city of Troy. To do so, he sent out for certain people to help, such as Odysseus, the hero of the Odyssey,​ and Achilles, who a seer said the war would not be won without. The Greeks first attacked nearby kingdoms that were supplying Troy, destroying the Trojan economy, killing Trojan hero Hector and looting spoils of war. However, the Greeks couldn’t break down the wall that surrounded Troy, so Odysseus devised a plan now known as the Trojan Horse. The Greeks hid inside a giant wooden horse that they tricked the Trojans to let inside their walls.
  • A Bronze Pail of Athena Alalkomenia

    A Bronze Pail of Athena Alalkomenia

    A BRONZE PAIL OF ATHENA ALALKOMENIA (PLATES 31-34) T HE remarkable archaic Greek bronze vessel published here (P1. 31, a) was l.4 purchased in Mantinea in Arcadia in the spring of 1957 and donated to the Museum in Tegea where other antiquities from the same region have their abode. It had been found by a local shepherd some distance to the north of the ruins of Man- tinea but, unfortunately, the exact location of the discovery could not be ascertained.' The major part of the vessel is preserved, including about half of its upper profiled edge and one attachment for the handle which passed through its upper ring. The whole of this ring is still filled with iron and it is evident that the missing handle was made of this material. The carefully proportioned body has a height of 0.241 m. to the upper edge of the lip. Its largest diameter, 0.215 m., is slightly smaller than the total height and exactly the same both at the outer edge of the lip and at the greatest width of the body which, in turn, occurs precisely half way between that edge and the bottom of the vessel, 0.12 m. distant from both. The upper face of the lip inclines outward slightly to allow overspilling liquid to run off, as it were, from an architectural cornice. The proportion of diameter to height, the rounded bottom and the contraction of the width under the lip combine to give the impression of an elastic curvilinear rhythm to the generally ovoid form.

    Index This online index is a much fuller version than the index that was abbre - viated for print. Like the print index, the online index has a number of goals beyond the location of proper names. For some names and technical terms it serves as a glossary and provides notes; for geograph - ical items it provides references to specific maps. But it is primarily de - signed to facilitate browsing. Certain key terms (sadism/sadistic, salvation/salvific/savior, sticking one’s nose in) can be appreciated for the frequency of their occurrence and have not been subdivided. Certain plot realities have been highlighted (dogs, food, hand gestures, kisses, processions, roses, shackles and chains, slaves, swords); certain themes and motifs have been underlined (adultery, disguise, drama, escape, gold, hair, hearth and home, madness, suicide); some quirks of the translation have been isolated (anachronisms, Misericordia! ); minu - tiae of animals, plants, language have been cataloged (deer, dill, and der - ring-do). The lengthy entry on Lucius tries to make clear the multiplicities of his experience. By isolating the passages in which he ad - dresses himself, or speaks of “when he was Lucius,” I hope to make the difficult task of determining whether the man from Madauros is really the same as Lucius the narrator, or the same as Apuleius the author, a little bit easier. abduction, 3.28–29, 4.23–24, 4.26; Actium (port in Epirus; site of Augus - dream of, 4.27 tus’ naval victory over Antony and Abstinence (Sobrietas, a goddess), 5.30; Cleopatra; Map
  • Gods, Planets, Astrology

    Gods, Planets, Astrology

    Roman and Greek Mythology Names: Gods, Planets, Astrology By J. Aptaker Roman & Greek Mythology Names: Gods, Planets This page will give the Roman and Greek mythology names of gods after whom planets were named, and will explain how those planets came to be named after them. It will also give pictures of these gods, and tell their stories. By extension, these gods’ planets, in the minds of the ancients, influenced the personality traits of people born at various times of the year. Thus, the connection between gods, planets, and astrology. In the Beginning Was Chaos The ancients perceived that although most stars maintained a relatively fixed position, some of them seemed to move. Five such “wandering stars”--the word “planet” comes from a Greek word meaning “to wander or stray”--were obvious to the naked eye. These were Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. In fact, it is thought that both the seven- day week and the overall sacredness of the number seven within many mystical/religious traditions may have begun with the observation of seven heavenly bodies which moved: the five visible planets, the sun, and the moon. Each of these seven heavenly bodies is associated with a particular day of the week. According to Greek mythology, the first god was Chaos. While the word Chaos brings certain images of mayhem and disorderliness to the English-speaking mind, the Greek god Chaos was just a big, empty, black, Nothing. Chaos was Nothingness, the Void, or empty space. After Chaos came the goddess Earth, who was known to the Greeks as Ge (or Gaia), and to the Romans as Terra.

  • B. L. Gildersleeve on Pindar Nemean 3.74-75

    B. L. Gildersleeve on Pindar Nemean 3.74-75

    BRIGGS, WARD W., JR, B. L. Gildersleeve on Pindar "Nemean" 3.74-75 , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 25:3 (1984) p.233 B. L. Gildersleeve on Pindar Nemean 3.74-75 Ward W. Briggs, Jr N 1898 Charles Eliot Norton, the nation's foremost champion of I Dante and a leading Northern literary critic who influenced a host of literary figures from Henry James to T. s. Eliot,l wrote to Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve, the nation's most visible representative of German philological training and a man of considerable critical ability. Named emeritus at Harvard in November 1897, with his duties confined to teaching a small class in Dante, Norton was depressed at the thought of retirement,2 and sought the advice of his Southern near-contemporary on the Greek view of the ages of man and its accompanying virtues, as described in Pindar Nemean 3.70-75. Gil­ dersleeve's answer, one of his rare letters on purely philological matters, gives considerable insight into his critical method. The poem in question is a hymn on the victory in the pancration by Aristocleides, an Aeginetan. It opens with a picture of the youths standing on the banks of the Asopus waiting for the Muse to arrive with their victory song (1-8). The Muse is to sing of Aegina, which the victor has ennobled by a triumph worthy of the Myrmidons, and he has thus figuratively passed the pillars of Heracles (9-26). The mention of Heracles leads Pindar to digress on the Aeacids, Peleus, Telamon (31-42), and the young Achilles (43-63).
  • Hesiod Theogony.Pdf

    Hesiod Theogony.Pdf

    Hesiod (8th or 7th c. BC, composed in Greek) The Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, are probably slightly earlier than Hesiod’s two surviving poems, the Works and Days and the Theogony. Yet in many ways Hesiod is the more important author for the study of Greek mythology. While Homer treats cer- tain aspects of the saga of the Trojan War, he makes no attempt at treating myth more generally. He often includes short digressions and tantalizes us with hints of a broader tra- dition, but much of this remains obscure. Hesiod, by contrast, sought in his Theogony to give a connected account of the creation of the universe. For the study of myth he is im- portant precisely because his is the oldest surviving attempt to treat systematically the mythical tradition from the first gods down to the great heroes. Also unlike the legendary Homer, Hesiod is for us an historical figure and a real per- sonality. His Works and Days contains a great deal of autobiographical information, in- cluding his birthplace (Ascra in Boiotia), where his father had come from (Cyme in Asia Minor), and the name of his brother (Perses), with whom he had a dispute that was the inspiration for composing the Works and Days. His exact date cannot be determined with precision, but there is general agreement that he lived in the 8th century or perhaps the early 7th century BC. His life, therefore, was approximately contemporaneous with the beginning of alphabetic writing in the Greek world. Although we do not know whether Hesiod himself employed this new invention in composing his poems, we can be certain that it was soon used to record and pass them on.
