Ancient greek gods and lore revisited Continue Who were the ancient Greek gods? Learn about ancient Greek beliefs - their gods, heroes, myths, and legends in this BBC Bitesize KS2 History guide. The ancient works of Greek civilization had almost been obliterated by the human consciousness until the Renaissance took it up again. In the early 1800s, when Greece rebelled against Turks after 400 years. Cruel and fickle, passionate and vengeful, jealous and insecure, petty and insane: the inhabitants of Olympus represent an attempt by the ancient Greeks to explain the chaos of the universe through human nature. Thus, like any deity invented before and since, these gods and goddesses are the embodiments of human solipsism. (Of course lightning is caused by a giant, angry man in the sky... obvi. I mean, what else could it be?) The stories of their struggles, quarrels and sexual conquests have indelibly influenced the course of Western language and narrative. Here's a selection of some of the A-list names on the Greek panteon. Aphrodite was the goddess of love, sex and beauty. Not surprisingly for a love goddess, she was said to have come out of the foam generated when the severed testicles of her father, Uranus, were thrown into the sea by her son, Titan CRONUS. (Or is it surprising?) Kind of makes Botticelli's surreally lovely Birth of Venus-which depicts Aphrodite's Roman counterpart emerging from the waves-a little more visceral, doesn't it? Athena was the goddess of reason, wisdom and war. She famously skipped fully formed from the forehead of Zeus. An important character in the Odyssey, where she directed Odysseus, she also guided Perseus and Heracles through their trials. The Parthenon was her supreme temple in Athens, named after her. Her Roman counterpart was Minerva.Artemis was the navy-footed goddess of the hunt. Often depicted in painting and sculpture with a deer or a hound, she was both the huntress and protectorress of the living world. Her Roman counterpart was Diana.Ares was the god of blood. (His half-sister Athena represented the more noble aspects of combat and civilian behavior during the war.) Although his fellow gods were not particularly fond of him, the Spartans had no problems, uh, donating some prisoners of war to his worship. And sacrifice dogs... Yes, that's right, Ares liked dead puppies. Jerk. His Roman counterpart was Mars.The twin brother of Artemis, Apollo was among the most important (read: feared) of the gods. Son of Zeus, he conveyed the will of his divine compatriots through various means, especially oracles. The oracle of Delphi was his mouthpiece; a 2001 study found that the oracle was probably hallucinating due to ethylene gas rising from the rocks below the temple. Demeter, an agricultural goddess, was the mother of Persephone, who was abducted by the underworld god Hades to be his bride. While she was looking for her stolen daughter, the hospitality of the royal family in Eleusis. The Eleusinian Mysteries, perhaps the most important religious rituals of ancient Greece, attributed her teachings. Her Roman counterpart was Ceres.Dionysus was the son of Zeus born to a mortal mother. Antivirus and malware for mac. When Zeus accidentally killed her, he sewed the young Dionysus into his thigh, and when the young god appeared, he passed him on to the care of the maenads. The cult of Dionysus was about poisoning, sex and wild ritual sacrifices. He was often symbolized by a bull because of his attachment to the sacrificial animal. Elements of his character are seen in the Roman god of wine, Bacchus.Hades ruled the world of the dead, which he was sometimes synonymous with. The cool lord of the underworld was among the few Greek gods who came across as dispassionate. He was not the ultimate judge of the souls who wandered his domain, nor did he say their punishments for sins committed during their mortal lives. He was cunning, however; he tricked Persephone into eating enchanted pomegranate seeds so she would have to stay with him for part of the year. The Queen goddess Olympus, Hera was both sister and wife of Zeus. Although she is often depicted as reserved and harsh, she was mercilessly vindictive when it came to her husband's [many] extramarital adventures. Unfortunately for objects of Zeus's godly love, Hera tends to torment the other women (and their offspring, including Heracles) rather than Zeus himself. Her Roman counterpart was Juno.Like many gods in the Greek panteon, Hermes presided over several bullets. He was a pastoral figure, responsible for protecting livestock, and was also associated with fertility, music, luck and deception. In the Odyssey, he is depicted as a messenger god. His Roman equivalent was Mercury.Aug 31, 2020 Torrents is an easy way to manage downloads. All you need is the best Mac torrenting program and an active internet connection.

(Thus, many of his temples were inland.) And he had some seriously strange children. Although humanoid, he became the father of both the winged horse Pegasus (of Medusa, no less) and cyclops Polyphemus, which is dazzled by Odysseus and his crew in the Odyssey. His Roman equivalent was Neptune.With the assistance of Hades and Poseidon, Zeus toppled his father, Cronus, king of the Titans, and became the supreme deity in a new panteon consisting mostly of his siblings and children. In addition to controlling the weather, Zeus became known for his chronic infidelity to his sister-wife, Hera. Among the results of his weakness for comedic mortal women was Helen of Troy.

    The Ptolemaic Sea Empire

    chapter 5 The Ptolemaic Sea Empire Rolf Strootman Introduction: Empire or “Overseas Possessions”? In 1982, archaeologists of the State Hermitage Museum excavated a sanctu- ary at the site of Nymphaion on the eastern shore of the Crimea. The sanctu- ary had been in use from ca. 325 bce until its sudden abandonment around 250 bce.1 An inscription found in situ associates the site with Aphrodite and Apollo, and with a powerful local dynasty, the Spartokids.2 Built upon a rocky promontory overlooking the Kimmerian Bosporos near the port of Panti- kapaion (the seat of the Spartokids), the sanctuary clearly was linked to the sea. Most remarkable among the remains were two polychrome plastered walls covered with graffiti depicting more than 80 ships—both war galleys and cargo vessels under sail— of varying size and quality, as well as images of animals and people. The most likely interpretation of the ship images is that they were connected to votive offerings made to Aphrodite (or Apollo) in return for safe voyages.3 Most noticeable among the graffiti is a detailed, ca. 1.15 m. wide drawing of a warship, dated by the excavators to ca. 275–250, and inscribed on its prow with the name “Isis” (ΙΣΙΣ).4 The ship is commonly 1 All dates hereafter will be Before Common Era. I am grateful to Christelle Fischer-Bovet’s for her generous and critical comments. 2 SEG xxxviii 752; xxxix 701; the inscription mentions Pairisades ii, King of the Bosporos (r. 284/3– 245), and his brother. Kimmerian Bosporos is the ancient Greek name for the Chan- nel now known as the Strait of Kerch, and by extension the entire Crimea/ Sea of Azov region; see Wallace 2012 with basic bibliography.

Translated by Kenneth Sylvan Guthrie. Alpine, New Jer- sey: Platonist Press, c. 1919. This biography should not to confused with the another work bear- ing the same title by Iamblichus, thought to be Porphyry’s disciple. ANY THINK THAT PYTHAGORAS WAS THE SON OF MNESARCHUS, but they differ as to the latter’s race; some thinking him a Samian, while Neanthes, M in the fifth book of his Fables states he was a Syrian, from the city of Tyre. As a famine had arisen in Samos, Mnesarchus went thither to trade, and was natu- ralized there. There also was born his son Pythagoras, who early manifested studi- ousness, but was later taken to Tyre, and there entrusted to the Chaldeans, whose doctrines he imbibed. Thence he returned to Ionia, where he first studied under the Syrian Pherecydes, then also under Hermodamas the Creophylian who at that time was an old man residing in Samos. 2. Neanthes says that others hold that his father was a Tyrrhenian, of those who in- habit Lemnos, and that while on a trading trip to Samos was there naturalized. On sailing to Italy, Mnesarchus took the youth Pythagoras with him. Just at this time this country was greatly flourishing. Neanthes adds that Pythagoras had two older brothers, Eunostus and Tyrrhenus. But Apollonius, in his book about Pythagoras, affirms that his mother was Pythais, a descendant, of Ancaeus, the founder of Sa- mos.

    Divine Riddles: a Sourcebook for Greek and Roman Mythology March, 2014

    Divine Riddles: A Sourcebook for Greek and Roman Mythology March, 2014 E. Edward Garvin, Editor What follows is a collection of excerpts from Greek literary sources in translation. The intent is to give students an overview of Greek mythology as expressed by the Greeks themselves. But any such collection is inherently flawed: the process of selection and abridgement produces a falsehood because both the narrative and meta-narrative are destroyed when the continuity of the composition is interrupted. Nevertheless, this seems the most expedient way to expose students to a wide range of primary source information. I have tried to keep my voice out of it as much as possible and will intervene as editor (in this Times New Roman font) only to give background or exegesis to the text. All of the texts in Goudy Old Style are excerpts from Greek or Latin texts (primary sources) that have been translated into English. Ancient Texts In the field of Classics, we refer to texts by Author, name of the book, book number, chapter number and line number.1 Every text, regardless of language, uses the same numbering system. Homer’s Iliad, for example, is divided into 24 books and the lines in each book are numbered. Hesiod’s Theogony is much shorter so no book divisions are necessary but the lines are numbered. Below is an example from Homer’s Iliad, Book One, showing the English translation on the left and the Greek original on the right. When citing this text we might say that Achilles is first mentioned by Homer in Iliad 1.7 (i.7 is also acceptable).
