    Jason et les argonautes – Don Chaffey – 1963 1963 Grande-Bretagne, 1963. Réalisation : Don Chaffey. Scénario : Jan Read, Beverley Cross. Image : Wilkie Cooper. Musique : Bernard Hermann. Montage : Maurice Rootes. Décors : Geoffrey Drake. Effets spéciaux : Ray Harryhausen. Producteur : Charles H. Schneer. Producteur associé : Ray Harryhausen. Production : Columbia Pictures, Morningside Productions. Interprétation : Todd Armstrong (Jason), Gary Raymond (Acastus), Nial McGinnis (Zeus), Nancy Kovack (Médée), Nigel Green (Hercule), Laurence Naismith (Argos), Michael Gwynn (Hermes), Douglas Wilmer (Pélias), Jack Gwillim (Aétès), Honor Blackman (Hera), John Cairney (Hylas), Patrick Troughton (Phinéas), Andrew Faulds (Phalerus). L'histoire : Invoquant Zeus, Hermès fait à Pélias une double prédiction : si l'invasion du royaume de Thessalie qu'il s'apprête à lancer à la nuit tombée sera couronnée de succès, l'un des enfants du roi assassiné lui reprendra bientôt le trône. S'il tue les deux filles, Philomèle et Briséis, Jason lui a déjà échappé et reviendra pour reprendre par la force le royaume de son père, chaussé d'une seule sandale selon Héra. Lorsque Jason secourt Pélias vingt ans plus tard d'une noyade, ce dernier le reconnaît ainsi aussitôt, mais pas le jeune homme qui lui avoue ses intentions avec imprudence. Afin de se débarrasser de lui, Pélias l'envoie d'abord chercher la Toison d'Or – une peau de bélier capable de guérir les maux de son peuple – et charge son fils Acaste d'intégrer l'équipage. Bien qu'une déesse ne puisse habituellement aider que des femmes, Zeus autorise exceptionnellement Héra à porter cinq fois secours à Jason dans sa quête. Emmené sur l'Olympe par Hermès, Jason reçoit les conseils d'Héra qui lui indique qu'il trouvera la Toison d'Or en Colchide, mais il refuse l'aide de Zeus qui lui proposait un équipage et un navire.

  • The Golden Fleece and the Golden-Fleeced Ram: Testimony and Interpretation of Ancient Literary Sources
    ISSN 0258-0802. LITERATŪRA 2017 59 (3) DOI: https://doi.org/10.15388/Litera.2017.3.11836 THE GOLDEN FLEECE AND THE GOLDEN-FLEECED RAM: TESTIMONY AND INTERPRETATION OF ANCIENT LITERARY SOURCES Vita Paparinska University of Latvia, Faculty of Humanities Abstract. The Golden Fleece figures in Greek mythology as the objective of the voyage of the Argo- nauts. The incompatability of the object of the search with the effort invested in its acquisition has furthered discussion of the real meaning of the Golden Fleece, which has generally been accepted to be a metaphor since antiquity. Modernity, especially at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, has been productive and inventive in the decipherment attempts of the metaphor’s hidden mea- ning. A number of interpretation theories has been developed, which, though interesting and well- argumented, are sometimes highly divergent from the interpretation of the Golden Fleece in the ancient sources. A proper understanding of the original or close to original meaning of the me- taphor of the Golden Fleece requires a scrupulous look at ancient Greek and Roman testimony, an overview of which the paper intends to provide. Keywords: the Argonaut myth, the Golden Fleece, metaphor, gold / wealth of Colchis, royal power. The story of the Argonaut voyage sur- mythographic material of the Library of vives in three epic poems: the Argonau- Pseudo-Apollodorus (1st/2nd century AD) tica (Ἀργοναυτικά) of Apollonius Rhodi- and the Fabulae of Hyginus (1st century us (3rd century BC), the Argonautica of BC–early 1st century AD), then the story Gaius Valerius Flaccus (1st century AD) of the Argonaut myth can be reconstructed and the Argonautica Orphica (Ὀρφέως with some certainty.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Merry Christmas Uncle Scrooge Mcduck! by Walt Disney Company Scrooge Mcduck
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Merry Christmas Uncle Scrooge McDuck! by Walt Disney Company Scrooge McDuck. Scrooge as his namesake with Mickey Mouse as Bob Cratchit. The reformed Scrooge at the end of Mickey's Christmas Carol . Appropriately enough, the first animated Christmas special to feature Scrooge was Mickey's Christmas Carol , the 1983 animated adaptation of the very story that inspired the character. As with the 1974 record album An Adaptation of Dickens' Christmas Carol, Performed by The Walt Disney Players , the short had Scrooge portraying the role of his miserly namesake. As in the original story, Scrooge is a greedy miser who does not care about his fellow man, poorly paying his clerk, Bob Cratchit (played by Mickey Mouse), and refusing a dinner invite from his nephew, Fred (played by Donald). After receiving a warning on Christmas Eve from the ghost of his deceased partner Jacob Marley (Goofy), Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past (Jiminy Cricket), Present (Willie the Giant from Mickey and the Beanstalk ) and Future (Pete), who show him the errors of his ways. The original album was co-written by Alan Young, who also provided Scrooge's voice. When Disney adapted the album as Mickey's Christmas Carol , Young auditioned for the role (as Disney didn't think he had wanted to reprise it), and with few exceptions, remained Scrooge's official voice for the next 33 years. Direct-to-video films. Scrooge playing the piano in Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas . In Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas , Scrooge appears prominently in the "Stuck on Christmas" segment starring his grandnephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie.
