  • Perseus Perseus
    Lateinischer Name: Deutscher Name: Per Perseus Perseus Atlas (2000.0) Karte Cambridge Star Kulmination um 2, 3 Atlas Mitternacht: Benachbarte 1, 4, Sky Atlas Sternbilder: 5 And Ari Aur Cam Cas 7. November Tau Tri Deklinationsbereich: 30° ... 59° Fläche am Himmel: 615° 2 Mythologie und Geschichte: Akrisios war der König von Argos und hatte eine hübsche Tochter namens Danae. Das Orakel von Delphi prophezeite ihm, sein Enkelsohn werde ihn einst töten. Aus Furcht vor diesem Orakelspruch ließ Akrisios seine Tochter Danae in einen Turm einschließen, damit sie keinen Mann empfangen könne. Akrisios konnte natürlich nicht wissen, dass Zeus selbst sich der liebreizenden Danae nähern wollte. Zeus tat dies auch und nahm dazu die Form eines goldenen Regens an, der durch die Wände, Fugen, Ritzen und Fenster drang. Danae gebar einen Sohn, welcher "Der aus fließendem Gold entstandene" oder auch "Der Goldgeborene" genannt wurde - eben den Perseus. Akrisios blieb dies natürlich nicht lange verborgen und er ließ seine Tochter und sein Enkelkind in einen Kasten einnageln, der dann ins Meer geworfen wurde. Danae und Perseus trieben lange Zeit auf dem Meer, bis sie schließlich an der Küste der steinigen Insel Seriphos strandeten und aus ihrem Gefängnis befreit wurden. Auf dieser Insel herrschte Polydektes, der bald jahrelang um die schöne Danae warb, jedoch vergebens. Entweder um Danae doch noch zur Ehe zu zwingen oder um Perseus aus dem Weg zu schaffen, schickte er den inzwischen zum Jüngling herangewachsenen Sohn der Danae aus, eine tödliche Aufgabe zu erledigen. Er solle das Haupt der Medusa zu holen. Die Medusa war eine der Gorgonen, eine der drei Töchter des Phorkys, die mit Schlangenhaaren ausgestattet waren und einen versteinernden Blick werfen konnten.

  • Deutsch-Griechische Beziehungen
    Dossier Deutsch-griechische Beziehungen bpb.de Dossier: Deutsch-griechische Beziehungen (Erstellt am 19.05.2021) 2 Einleitung Platon (© picture-alliance) Die Bilder vom Anderen haben die deutsch-griechischen Beziehungen in den vergangenen Jahren bestimmt. Und mitunter auch vergiftet, obwohl das Land früher verehrt wurde wegen seines kulturellen Vermächtnisses. So wurde die Euro-Krise zur Griechenland-Krise und "die Griechen" zu "faulen Südeuropäern, die ein arbeitsarmes Leben" führen. Umgekehrt stilisierten griechische Medien "die Deutschen" zu "ewigen Besatzern", die da anknüpfen, wo sie 1945 aufhörten. Die Beziehungen sind aber nicht nur beschränkt auf Fragen über Schulden und Schuld. Kunst, Kultur, Literatur, Migration und Tourismus verbinden beide Länder. Hunderttausende Menschen mit griechischen Wurzeln leben heute in Deutschland, viele Deutsche wollten und wollen noch heute als Touristen in Griechenland eine ideale Gegenwelt erfahren. Welche Geschichte verbindet Griechen und Deutsche? Welche Spannungen und Probleme lasten auf den aktuellen Beziehungen? Und wie können wir den Anderen besser verstehen? bpb.de Dossier: Deutsch-griechische Beziehungen (Erstellt am 19.05.2021) 3 Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.

  • “Upon This Rock I Will Rebuild My Church.” Matthew 16:18 Genesis of a Resurrection
    “Upon this rock I will rebuild my church.” Matthew 16:18 Genesis of a Resurrection To Your Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America, most honorable Exarch in the U.S.A, our beloved brother in the Holy Spirit and dear co-celebrant: grace be with you and peace from God. With keen and paternal interest we have paid close attention to the journey of the Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church at Ground Zero, from the darkest moments of the horrific terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, to this present joy-filled moment. At that time, our heart was broken with nearly inconsolable grief, because so many beloved human beings were no more. Indeed, even now we recall with great emotion our visit some years ago to Ground Zero, where we joined our fervent prayers with those of the faithful whose own prayers were mingled with tears and great compassion for one another. Now, thanks to the infinite mercy of God and the collective efforts of the faithful of the Holy Archdiocese of America, we have cause to rejoice that the shrine of the holy patron of this Church, Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, will emerge for the ages at the historic location known as Ground Zero. For truly, Saint Nicholas, who hailed from the Ecumenical Patriarchate’s region of Myra in Watercolors & Sketchs by Santiago Calatrava Asia Minor, belongs to the world, and it is fitting and right that this Shrine to his name be rebuilt. Our Holy Mother Church com- memorates Saint Nicholas as “a model of living faith and an image of humble grace,” and we know that this presence will most surely The original St.

    GENERAL ELECTIONS IN GREECE 6th May 2012 European Elections monitor Great Uncertainty just one Month before the next Greek General Elections Corinne Deloy (with Stellina Galitopoulou) On 31st October last Prime Minister George Papandreou (Panhellenic Socialist Movement, PASOK) announced the organisation of a referendum on the rescue plan for Greece approved by the Euro- Analysis pean Union on 27th October in Brussels. The latter aimed to help Greece pay off its debts but obliged 1 month before the country to submit to economic supervision and to implement a stricter austerity regime. The the poll announcement was the source of stupor and indignation in Greece and across all of Europe – it sent the European, American and Asian stock exchanges into disarray and surprised the financial markets. “It’s suicide”, declared Michalis Matsourakis, chief economist at the Greek Alpha Bank, who perceived an attempt on the part of George Papandreou to break out of his solitude and the political crisis that was undermining the country as he pushed the opposition parties, which until now had categorically refused to support the strict austerity measures taken by the government, to adopt a position on the European plan, in order to calm the social protest movement that went together with a sharp decline in living standards. The Prime Minister, who was finding it increasingly difficult to find support within his own socialist party and the ministers of his government, had already suggested to the opposition that they create an alliance in the shape of a government coalition in June 2011. The right however, rejected this proposal.
