Metamorphoses Book IV (A. S. Kline's Version) Edith Hamilton, Mythology http://misdtx.schoolwires.com/cms/lib/tx21000394/centricity/domain/312/edith%20hamilton% 20-%20mythology.pdf On his way back [the hero Perseus] came to Ethiopia and alighted there. By this time Hermes had left him. Perseus found, as Hercules was later to find, that a lovely maiden had been given up to be devoured by a horrible sea serpent. Her name was Andromeda and she was the daughter of a silly vain woman, That starred Ethiop queen who strove To set her beauty's praise above the sea-nymphs, and their power offended. She had boasted that she was more beautiful than the daughters of Nereus, the Sea-god. An absolutely certain way in those days to draw down on one a wretched fate was to claim superiority in anything over any deity; nevertheless people were perpetually doing so. In this case the punishment for the arrogance the gods detested fell not on Queen Cassiopeia, Andromeda's mother, but on her daughter. The Ethiopians were being devoured in numbers by the serpent; and, learning from the oracle that they could be freed from the pest only if Andromeda were offered up to it, they forced Cepheus, her father, to consent. When Perseus arrived, the maiden was on a rocky ledge by the sea, chained there to wait for the coming of the monster. Perseus saw her and on the instant loved her. He waited beside her until the great snake came for its prey; then he cut its head off just as he had the Gorgon's. The headless body dropped back into the water; Perseus took Andromeda to her parents and asked for her hand, which they gladly gave him. Metamorphoses Book IV (A. S. Kline's Version) http://ovid.lib.virginia.edu/trans/Metamorph4.htm#478205206 Bk IV:663-705 Perseus offers to save Andromeda Aeolus, son of Hippotas, had confined the winds in their prison under Mount Etna, and Lucifer, who exhorts us to work, shone brightest of all in the depths of the eastern sky. Perseus strapped the winged sandals, he had put to one side, to his feet, armed himself with his curved sword, and cut through the clear air on beating pinions. Leaving innumerable nations behind, below and around him, he came in sight of the Ethiopian peoples, and the fields of Cepheus. There Jupiter Ammon had unjustly ordered the innocent Andromeda to pay the penalty for her mother Cassiopeia’s words. As soon as Perseus, great-grandson of Abas, saw her fastened by her arms to the hard rock, he would have thought she was a marble statue, except that a light breeze stirred her hair, and warm tears ran from her eyes. He took fire without knowing it and was stunned, and seized by the vision of the form he saw, he almost forgot to flicker his wings in the air. As soon as he had touched down, he said ‘O, you do not deserve these chains, but those that link ardent lovers together. Tell me your name, I wish to know it, and the name of your country, and why you are wearing these fetters. At first she was silent: a virgin, she did not dare to address a man, and she would have hidden her face modestly with her hands, if they had not been fastened behind her. She used her eyes instead, and they filled with welling tears. At his repeated insistence, so as not to seem to be acknowledging a fault of her own, she told him her name and the name of her country, and what faith her mother had had in her own beauty. Before she had finished speaking, all the waves resounded, and a monster menaced them, rising from the deep sea, and covered the wide waters with its breadth. The girl cried out: her grieving father and mother were together nearby, both wretched, but the mother more justifiably so. They bring no help with them, only weeping and lamentations to suit the moment, and cling to her fettered body. Then the stranger speaks ‘There will be plenty of time left for tears, but only a brief hour is given us to work. If I asked for this girl as Perseus, son of Jupiter and that Danaë, imprisoned in the brazen tower, whom Jupiter filled with his rich golden shower; Perseus conqueror of the Gorgon with snakes for hair, he who dared to fly, driven through the air, on soaring wings, then surely I should be preferred to all other suitors as a son-in-law. If the gods favour me, I will try to add further merit to these great gifts. I will make a bargain. Rescued by my courage, she must be mine.’ Her parents accept the contract (who would hesitate?) and, entreating him, promise a kingdom, as well, for a dowry. Bk IV:706-752 Perseus defeats the sea-serpent See how the creature comes parting the waves, with surging breast, like a fast ship, with pointed prow, ploughing the water, driven by the sweat-covered muscles of her crew. It was as far from the rock as a Balearicsling can send a lead shot through the air, when suddenly the young hero, pushing his feet hard against the earth, shot high among the clouds. When the shadow of a man appeared on the water’ surface, the creature raged against the shadow it had seen. As Jupiter’s eagle, when it sees a snake, in an open field, showing its livid body to the sun, takes it from behind, and fixes its eager talons in the scaly neck, lest it twists back its cruel fangs, so the descendant of Inachus hurling himself headlong, in swift flight, through empty space, attacked the creature’s back, and, as it roared, buried his sword, to the end of the curved blade, in the right side of its neck. Hurt by the deep wound, now it reared high in the air, now it dived underwater, or turned now, like a fierce wild boar, when the dogs scare him, and the pack is baying around him. Perseus evades the eager jaws on swift wings, and strikes with his curved sword wherever the monster is exposed, now at the back encrusted with barnacles, now at the sides of the body, now where the tail is slenderest, ending fishlike. The beast vomits seawater mixed with purplish blood. The pinions grow heavy, soaked with spray. Not daring to trust his drenched wings any further, he sees a rock whose highest point stands above quiet water, hidden by rough seas. Resting there, and holding on to the topmost pinnacle with his left hand, he drives his sword in three or four times, repeatedly. The shores, and the high places of the gods, fill with the clamor of applause. Cassiope and Cepheus rejoice, and greet their son-in-law, acknowledging him as the pillar of their house, and their deliverer. Released from her chains, the girl comes forward, the prize and the cause of his efforts. He washes his hands, after the victory, in seawater drawn for him, and, so that Medusa’s head, covered with its snakes, is not bruised by the harsh sand, he makes the ground soft with leaves, and spreads out plants from below the waves, and places the head of that daughter of Phorcys on them. The fresh plants, still living inside, and absorbent, respond to the influence of the Gorgon’s head, and harden at its touch, acquiring a new rigidity in branches and fronds. And the ocean nymphs try out this wonder on more plants, and are delighted that the same thing happens at its touch, and repeat it by scattering the seeds from the plants through the waves. Even now corals have the same nature, hardening at a touch of air, and what was alive, under the water, above water is turned to stone. .

    SECTION A – CASE QUESTIONS Answer 1 DIPN Issued by the IRD, DIPN clarifies the IRD’s viewpoints on particular tax provisions and/or the practice of the IRD in certain given situations. It also outlines the IRD’s respective procedures in administrating relevant provisions of the IRO. Notwithstanding that DIPN has no binding force in law (BOR D54/06, para. 25), the IRD would follow, in general, what has been laid down in the DIPNs, both interpretation of tax provisions and assessing practices. BOR Decisions The BOR is an independent statutory body to determine tax appeals. Decisions made by the BOR are final with regard to the facts of a particular case. In addition, BOR’s decisions are not binding on other BOR cases. With reference to the BOR’s decisions, taxpayers can identify how the relevant provisions in the IRO are interpreted and applied in the circumstances. Local Court Cases for tax In the appeals to the Hong Kong Courts, the judges are required to decide the cases by expressing their opinion in respect of questions of law. If taxpayers or the IRD cannot agree on the interpretation of a provision in the IRO, both parties can use the appeal procedures laid down in the IRO to seek a ruling on a question of law from the Courts. In addition, the decisions of a higher court (e.g. Court of Final Appeal) bind all lower courts and the BOR, i.e. the doctrine of judicial precedent. Answer 2 Under s.4 of the IRO, officers of the IRD shall preserve secrecy with regard to all matters relating to the affairs of any person coming to his knowledge, except in the performance of his duties under the IRO.

  • Euripides and Gender: the Difference the Fragments Make
    Euripides and Gender: The Difference the Fragments Make Melissa Karen Anne Funke A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Ruby Blondell, Chair Deborah Kamen Olga Levaniouk Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2013 Melissa Karen Anne Funke University of Washington Abstract Euripides and Gender: The Difference the Fragments Make Melissa Karen Anne Funke Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Ruby Blondell Department of Classics Research on gender in Greek tragedy has traditionally focused on the extant plays, with only sporadic recourse to discussion of the many fragmentary plays for which we have evidence. This project aims to perform an extensive study of the sixty-two fragmentary plays of Euripides in order to provide a picture of his presentation of gender that is as full as possible. Beginning with an overview of the history of the collection and transmission of the fragments and an introduction to the study of gender in tragedy and Euripides’ extant plays, this project takes up the contexts in which the fragments are found and the supplementary information on plot and character (known as testimonia) as a guide in its analysis of the fragments themselves. These contexts include the fifth- century CE anthology of Stobaeus, who preserved over one third of Euripides’ fragments, and other late antique sources such as Clement’s Miscellanies, Plutarch’s Moralia, and Athenaeus’ Deipnosophistae. The sections on testimonia investigate sources ranging from the mythographers Hyginus and Apollodorus to Apulian pottery to a group of papyrus hypotheses known as the “Tales from Euripides”, with a special focus on plot-type, especially the rape-and-recognition and Potiphar’s wife storylines.

  • Abas (Son of Lynceus)
    Abas (son of Lynceus) In Greek mythology, Abas /ˈeɪbəs/ (Ancient Greek: Ἄβας) was the twelfth king of Argos. His name probably derives from a Semitic word for "father". Abas was the son of Lynceus of the royal family of Argos, and Hypermnestra, the last of the Danaides. With his wife Ocalea (or Aglaea, depending on the source), he had three sons: the twins Acrisius (grandfather of Perseus) and Proetus, and Lyrcos, and one daughter, Idomene. Abas (son of Lynceus). Quite the same Wikipedia. Just better. Like Hercules himself his son appears, In salvage pomp; a lion's hide he wears; About his shoulders hangs the shaggy skin; The teeth and gaping jaws severely grin. Thus, like the god his father, homely dress'd, He strides into the hall, a horrid guest. Then two twin brothers from fair Tibur came, (Which from their brother Tiburs took the name,) Fierce Coras and Catillus, void of fear: Arm'd Argive horse they led, and in the front appear. Like cloud-born Centaurs, from the mountain's height With rapid course descending to the fight; They rush along; the rattling woods give w In Greek mythology, Abas (Ἄβας) was the son of Lynceus of the royal familiy of Argos, and Hypermnestra, the last of the Danaides. His name derives from a Semitic word for 'father'. Abas founded the city of Abae, Phocis, now in modern day central Greece. When he informed his father of the death of Danaus, he was rewarded with the shield of his grandfather, which was sacred to Hera.

  • A Abantes. a Euboean Tribe. the Abantes Were Named for Abas
    A Abantes. A Euboean tribe. The Abantes were named for Abas, about whom little is known. Under Abas’ son Chalcodon, they engaged in an unsuccessful struggle for power with Thebes. Chalcodon’s son, Elephenor, later gave sanctuary in Euboea to the two sons of Theseus, king of Athens. Still later, he led the Euboean forces to the Trojan War. Large numbers of Abantes were among the Greek migrants who colonized various cities of Ionia, in Asia Minor. Abas. A king of Argos. Abas, a son of Lynceus and Hypermnestra, was a great warrior and succeeded his father on the throne. He married Aglaea, a daughter of Mantineus, who bore him twin sons, Acrisius and Proetus, and a daughter, Idomene. Abas also had a bastard son, Lyrcus. Hyginus mentions that Abas avenged Lynceus by killing Megapenthes, but nothing more is known of the incident. Abae, in Phocis, is said to have been named for Abas. Abas. A son of Melampus and Lysippe. Abas was the father of Coeranus and of Lysimache, who married Talaus. Abas. The eponym of the Abantes tribe of Euboea.

  • The Hebrew Danites As the Greek Danaans by John R
    1 The Hebrew Danites as the Greek Danaans By John R. Salverda The Seafaring Danites The Danites were a band of rovers, they were not satisfied with the size of the allotment which the official coalition of the Jacobites had afforded them, around Zorah and Eshtaol, so they defied the priesthood of Phinehas, appointed a Levitical priesthood of their own, (directly descended from Moses,1 not Aaron) and set out to found new lands. First they went up north, and, with the apparent approval, or at least the acquiescence of the Sidonians and the Upper Manassehites, they took the city of Laish, (This city, while the Scriptures, at Judges 18:7, say that it was “far from Sidon” itself,2 was very close to the Sidonian capitol at the time, a place called Hazor.) killed all the Laishites, moved in, and called the place Dan, after their own tribal patriarch (See Judges Chapter 18). They also held the seaport of Joppa,3 and it must have been their friendly relations with the seafaring Sidonians that allowed them to build a fleet of ships there. Then, in the days of Deborah, war broke out between the sons of Jacob, and the Sidonians. It is likely that treaty obligations, agreed to by the Danites, called for a mutual non aggression pact, with the Sidonians (the Sidonians had already upheld their end of the bargain when they withheld retaliation against the Danites at the taking of Laish.). When the sons of Jacob threatened the Danites for their neutrality in the war, in accordance with the "Song of Deborah," (at Judges 5:17) the Danites, "lived in ships." These then, were 1 Jdg 18:30 “..

  • Rereading Death: Ethics and Aesthetics in the Ancient
    REREADING DEATH: ETHICS AND AESTHETICS IN THE ANCIENT RECEPTION OF HOMERIC BATTLE NARRATIVE by Nicholas Kauffman A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, MD March, 2015 [Intended to be blank] ii Abstract In this dissertation, I examine the many famous death scenes in the Iliad and argue that their reception within antiquity reflects a lively and diverse discourse about the meaning of violence, and specifically of death in battle. As evidence of this reception, I consider later Greek epics and the exegetical tradition, viewing these texts using the methodological frameworks of intertextuality and reception studies. In the first chapter, I provide a descriptive analysis of the Iliad’s deaths and discuss the often conflicting interpretations of them advanced in modern scholarship. I argue that these deaths are underdetermined, that the text itself articulates no clear ideological framework within which to understand them, and I view this underdeterminedness as productive, in that it makes possible and even encourages dialogue among later readers. In the subsequent chapters I examine three texts that engage in this dialogue. First, I look at the death scenes in Apollonius’ Argonautica. Though these are largely constructed from Homeric motifs, I show that Apollonius consistently defamiliarizes these motifs and thus calls into question not only the formal qualities of the Iliadic narrative but also its ethical underpinnings. In Quintus of Smyrna’s Posthomerica, as I show in the following chapter, the deaths are designed to seem Homeric, and they are formally almost identical to their Iliadic counterparts.

Nor would he grant that Perseus Harden, and scales increase, and mottled markings Was also son of jove, the child begotten Sprinkle his blackening body. He fell forward, On Danae in the golden rain. But truth Crawled on his belly, with his legs behind him Is powerful: Acrisius learned repentauce Drawn in, and tapering.

    SECTION A – CASE QUESTIONS (Total: 50 marks) Answer ALL of the following compulsory questions. Marks will be awarded for logical argumentation and appropriate presentation of the answers. CASE Zeus Corporation (“Zeus”) is a company established in Greece engaging in the entertainment business exclusively in the local Greek market, and has various subsidiaries incorporated worldwide engaging in similar entertainment businesses. In Hong Kong, Zeus set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in the prior year, namely Abas Entertainment Company Limited (“Abas”), carrying on concert production, publication and media businesses for the Hong Kong local market. To facilitate the promotion of its business for customers from the Mainland, Abas also established a representative office (“Abas RO”) in Guangzhou of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) for providing marketing and liaison services. In early 2013, Zeus employed a senior executive Mr Panoptes Hercules in Greece as its Chief Tax Officer for the Asia Pacific region. According to the employment contract entered into between Zeus and Mr Hercules, he is required to travel to various Asia Pacific countries to review the business of Zeus’s subsidiaries, particularly from a tax perspective, and then report directly to the Board of Directors of Zeus in Greece (“the Board”). During the year ended 31 March 2014, Mr Hercules spent a considerable period of time in Hong Kong to review the business of Abas from a tax perspective. Specifically Mr Hercules has identified the following matters to report to the Board which are either relevant to the tax regime in Hong Kong, or may have cross-border tax implications with respect to the specific business activities carried on by Abas:- 1.
