The Machai were daemons of strife and bloodshed, daugh- ters and sons of Eris, soldiers in the hosts of Enyo and Ares, the gods of war. The first among them was Alala, the ululating maiden of the war cry. Enyo’s war cry was ’ulule alalu’ and that of Ares, ’alale alala’; both were the cries of Alala. The brother and husband of Alala was Homados, he of the tumult of war. Where Alala was the cry of warriors, Homados was the cry of steel on steel; there is no need to transcribe that awful sound. The sisters Proioxis and Palioxis were women with the heads of hounds, and their part the herding of armies: the former was Onrush, the latter Backrush; between them, armies were battered into red ruin. Their shoes were red, their eyes bright, their ears perky and triangle-shaped [. ] studded with the skulls of dead men. The final of the Machai was Kydoimos; and she was not seen before her brothers and sisters, for she was Confusion, [. ] with a thousand voices, and no mouth. [. ] Among those that did not worship Zeus Xenios, much of this was forgotten even before the coming of the Dorians. 5 Contents 1 Argument 5 Contents 6 2 Sources 11 I Alala: ululations 13 3 The Church E.E.E. 17 4 Who is Eris?

It was shit, though the author thought it was the shit. Then the second holy book, Book of the Light Warrior. It was the same story. Then, because such torrents of shite never cease, there was the holy website, Mirrors of Eris, and everywhere in spat- ters on the edges of all this was the holy blog, Masks of Eris. All in all, lots of shite. After much polishing, and much subtraction and addi- tion, this holy book, Makhai of Eris, has resulted. This book alludes to, but does not contain, the first bible of the Erisian Movement, Principia Discordia (which is a real book), by Malaclypse the Younger and Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst. It can be found in many places, including the Internet. Wherever you find it, you also find good people. Finally: whosoever adds to this book, is blessed. Whoso- ever changes these words, is beloved. Whosoever takes away from these words or abridges or distorts them, is a trans- forming Agent of the Goddess whose feet this poor and fat author is not fit to kiss.

C. en monedas, joyas, pinturas de vasijas y esculturas, que muestran el agotamiento físico de Heracles y su apoteosis divina. Luego de una extendida consideración de los principales trabajos académicos que abordaron el tema desde finales del siglo XIX, procuro mostrar que la representación iconográfica del agotamiento de Heracles y de su apoteosis da testimonio de la influencia de nuevas concepciones religiosas y filosóficas en su mito, fundamentalmente del pitagorismo, del orfismo y de los cultos mistéricos, así como del fuerte intelectualismo de la Atenas del siglo V a. C.

  • What the Muses Sang: Theogony 1-115 Jenny Strauss Clay
    STRAUSS CLAY, JENNY, What the Muses Sang: "Theogony" 1-115 , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 29:4 (1988:Winter) p.323 What the Muses Sang: Theogony 1-115 Jenny Strauss Clay HE PROEM to the Theogony has often been analyzed both in T terms of its formal structure and in relation to recurrent hym­ nic conventions;l it has also been interpreted as a fundamental statement of archaic Greek poetics.2 While differing somewhat in its perspective, the present investigation builds on and complements those previous studies. Dedicated to the Muses, the patronesses of poetry, the opening of the Theogony repeatedly describes these divini­ ties engaged in their characteristic activity, that is, singing. In the course of the proem, the Muses sing four times: once as they descend from Helicon (lines 11-21), twice on Olympus (44-50, 66f), and once as they make their way from their birthplace in Pieria and ascend to Olympus (71-75). In addition, the prologue describes the song the goddesses inspire in their servants, the aoidoi (99-101), as well as the song Hesiod requests that they sing for him, the invocation proper (105-15). My aim here is a simple one: to examine the texts and contexts of each of these songs and to compare them to the song the Muses instruct Hesiod to sing and the one he finally produces. I See, for example, P. Friedlander, "Das Pro6mium von Hesiods Theogonie" (1914), in E. HEITSCH, Hesiod (Darmstadt 1966: hereafter "Heitsch") 277-94; W.

    SYMBOLAE PHILOLOGORUM POSNANIENSIUM GRAECAE ET LATINAE XXI/1 • 2011 pp. 41–48. ISBN 978-83-7654-160-0. ISSN 0302-7384 Lucyna Kostuch Instytut Historii Uniwersytetu Humanistyczno-Przyrodniczego Jana Kochanowskiego ul. Żeromskiego 5, 25-369 Kielce Polska – Poland Pantes theoi, Polemos and Ares on the Battlefield. The Greek Concept of the War Deity AbstrAct. Kostuch Lucyna, Pantes theoi, Polemos and Ares on the Battlefield. The Greek Concept of the War deity. The Hellenes created a concept of potential military engagement by all the gods. In martial contexts, Greek authors often included the concepts of “all the gods” (pantes theoi), “the gods” (theoi), “god” (theos), divine being (daimonion) and holy power (hieros), which signify interference by unidentified divine forces. The relationship between war and gods may thus be defined ex definitione. The question arises as to the basis of this way of thinking. It seems that the answer should be sought in the basic definition of war – polemos. War is only occasionally personified. The answer to the question of why Polemos never became a clearly defined divine figure and mythological hero can be found in Homer. In the Iliad many deities, although not all, have military might (polemos) at their disposal and participate in directing martial activities. It is for this very reason that this force never became an independent one – war arises as a result of what can be termed a divine “chain reaction”. The existence of war is thus dependent on the gods who make it active as the result of a stimulus. It is significant that Ares, just like Polemos, is not fully autonomous.
