In the following pages all the buildings and noticeable features of the grounds are indexed in the following manner: The letters and figures following the names of buildings in heavy black type (like this) are placed there to ascertain their exact location on the map which appears in this guide. Take for example Administration Building (N i8): 18 N- -N 18 On each side of the map are the letters of the alphabet reading downward; and along the margin, top and bottom, are figures reading and increasing from i, on the left, to 27, on the right; N 18, therefore, implies that the Administration Building will be found at that point on the map where lines, if drawn from N to N east and west and from 18 to 18 north and south, would cross each other at right angles.

Exemplar Student Response The Iliad is an epic about the events that happened in the Trojan War. The protagonist, Hector, faces difficult ​ decisions as a leader in the army and a husband and father. His conflicting motivations and ultimate decision conveys the value that the ancient Greeks placed on both fate and duty. In Book Six, the character Hector has a resigned tone as he explains to his wife, Andromache, that although he wants to stay with his family, he must protect them by serving his country first.

S. Kline, and taken from the Poetry in Translation website: Notes Iliad http://www.poetryintranslation.com/ Iliad Homer, Iliad 5.84–469 Homer, Homer, Book 5: 84–165 Pandarus wounds Diomedes Homer, Such was the furious combat. As for Diomedes, none could have said which army Greek or Trojan he fought for, since he stormed over the plain like a raging winter torrent that sweeps away the dykes in its swift flood. Close-built embankments and the walls of fertile vineyards fail to hold its onset driven by Zeus’ storm and before it the proud works of men all tumble to ruin: so the dense ranks of the Trojans were routed by Tydeus’ son, giving way to him despite their numbers. Yet when glorious Pandarus, Lycaon’s son, saw Diomedes rage across the plain, routing the army ahead, he swiftly bent his curved bow, and aimed at him, striking him firmly, as he ran, on the right shoulder-plate of his cuirass, so the sharp arrow pierced clean through, and the armour ran with blood. Pandarus cried aloud in triumph: ‘On now, brave Trojans, you horse-prickers! The best of the Greeks is hurt, and that arrow means he’s done for, if Lord Apollo, born of Zeus, truly blessed my journey here from Lycia.’ So he boasted, but the swift shaft failed to down Diomedes, who drew back to the shadow of his chariot, where he called to Sthenelus, Capaneus’ son: ‘Quick, my lad, down here, and pull this bitter dart from my flesh.’ Leaping from the chariot, as he spoke, Sthenelus touched ground beside him and pulled the sharp arrow from his shoulder, so the blood soaked through the woven tunic.

  • Warfare in Homer
    Warfare in Homer The true hero, the true subject, the core of the Iliad is [violent] force. Simone Weil, L’Iliade ou le poème de la force (Holoka 2003, 19) Why do we care about these stories which are so far from us and which are anyway not true? (Redfield 1975, xiv) Why did the whole Greek world exult over the combat scenes of the Iliad? I fear that we do not understand them in a sufficiently “Greek” manner; indeed, that we should shudder if we were to understand them “in Greek.” (Nietzsche 1954, 32‒3) RUE STORIES of war try to tell us something about what war is. Read enough war stories and you will know four things. War is not pretty. War is not good. Only T the human agents caught up in war can try to be noble or moral; war itself is neither, and few human beings rise to the occasion, and then all too often for no good reason and without effect. And war is ultimately unknowable. Yet the purpose or purposes of particular war stories – essentially what they mean to their tellers and audiences and readers – can be hard to figure out. The Homeric epics are no exceptions, especially because in their current canonical forms they originated over two and half millennia ago and elements in them go back as much as a millennium further, well into the Mycenaean palatial period. (For the Mycenaean phase of epic song, see Ruijgh 1995, 85‒8; 2004, 530‒1.) Why did the Greeks sing oral folk songs about war encompassing a wide variety of themes in a continuum from the late Bronze Age palatial period (ca.

  • Mapping Greek Heritage Language Education in Canada
    THE HIDDEN SCHOOLS: MAPPING GREEK HERITAGE LANGUAGE EDUCATION IN CANADA by Themistoklis Aravossitas A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning University of Toronto © Copyright by Themistoklis Aravossitas 2016 THE HIDDEN SCHOOLS: MAPPING GREEK HERITAGE LANGUAGE EDUCATION IN CANADA Themistoklis Aravossitas Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning University of Toronto 2016 Abstract Since the languages of immigrant communities in Canada are categorized as “non- official”, our government is under no obligation to contribute to the perpetuation of these languages. Furthermore, education, in general, is a provincial responsibility. Thus, no formal reporting and documentation of Heritage/International Language Programs takes place at the national level. Given this situation, the various ethnic community groups are left alone with the task of protecting their valuable linguistic and cultural heritages. Inevitably, without national information sharing or support from the Canadian government, HL policy and programming are in a precarious state. My study involves my participation in a community-based research project that aims to locate, map, assess and develop the Greek HLE resources in Canada. Theoretically based on the concepts of Ethnolinguistic Vitality and Language Maintenance, my investigation (a) addresses the question of access to Greek language and culture education by exploring the programs and resources currently available to HL learners; (b) formulates an asset-based ii model to analyze the capacity of the Greek community's HLE system and proposes changes for its upgrade; and (c) develops a database to allow community members, HLE stakeholders and researchers to search for information about Greek language schools, community organizations and cultural events across Canada.
