Executioner by Joshua Lacey the Chapel Was Silent, the Constant Low Hum of the Ships’ Engine Being Heard Far Off in the Sacred Space Executioner By Joshua Lacey The chapel was silent, the constant low hum of the ships’ engine being heard far off in the sacred space. The Retribution voyaged through the turbulent warp, the ships Gellar field sparking above the domed skylight. How the ship had survived so long was a miracle. It had survived the Tyranids, horrors of the Eye of Terror, traitors from within and without, warp spawn to traitor boarding parties. Yet it remained with a skeleton crew, along with the remains of the outcast 4th company. Kneeling before the relief of the Emperor, before the long flowing standards of the chapter and company, the ruins of pews used as barricades, before the statue of Azariah Vidya himself, knelt a Space Marine. A sergeant who should have died many times, who bore the livery of the Blood Ravens. He knelt where he shouldn’t have, a warrior who should’ve been killed a hundred times over. He should not be here. Not because he should be dead, but because someone else shouldn’t be. From the shadows, Sigmund was watching bare headed. The death had been hard on them all, but the sergeant had felt it the most. He was still young for a space marine, even after the Penance Crusade. And now, when given the opportunity to lead, the sergeant declared himself unworthy. Sigmund knew otherwise. “Do you truly believe yourself lesser brother?” the chaplain spoke, emerging from the shadows to kneel with his brother. “You are as much of a hero of the chapter as he was.” As he got closer, Sigmund saw the dents, the scraps and blackened marks on the red armour of his battle brother. The sergeants face was scarred, a patchwork of bionics keeping the right side of his face together. Sigmund looked up to Vidya as he kneeled. He whispered his thanks to the Great Father and praised the Emperor. He recited the Litany of Woe, the Litany of Knowledge and the Litany of Fury. He spoke them with reverence, the litanies that defined a millennium of anguish for the chapter, that defined their future. No response. He then turned to the sergeant, taking in his features, no longer the boy he had once set eyes on Meridian. “Why do you still kneel here? For forgiveness or death? Does his sacrifice mean nothing to you or do their deaths weigh heavy on your soul?” The sergeant remained silent, but his body was tense. Sigmund had trouble getting the boy to realise death was inevitable, especially for their kind. He hung onto hope too much, formed strong bonds with his fellow battle brothers. It was how he had damned himself; too much trust, a veil of ignorance blinding him to his commanders’ orders. Even after the several decades of penance, some of those ideals had remained. He only had a few hours to purge the rest of them. A few hours to have the boy turn into a man, a battle brother, a captain. Sigmund waited a while, slowly turning away to continue his prayers. He prayed for forgiveness from the Emperor, to lead the chapter into a new age guided by his light, all in hoping the sergeant would respond. But after the prayers, he still had nothing, the air still undisturbed by any sound other than the sparking of the Gellar field and the hum of engines. The chaplain sighed, standing up to stare down at his battle brother, his commander, the man that should, that would, be captain. “We are meeting up with the elements of 6th and 7th companies soon in the Lithesh sector. We will need our force commander present to take command. You must remember, without his sacrifice we would not have been able to return to the chapter. Without him, we would be lost in the warp.” Sigmund began to walk out of the chapel when a husky voice, aged by centuries of war, from within and without, spoke out in a dark, dreary tone. “It is the duty of every space marine to die in battle, fighting for the Emperor, killing the xenos and the heretic.” Sigmund stopped, turning to his brother, curious as to where he was going. “The sacrifice of any marine in the line of service is a great honour.” The chaplain felt pride, that the sergeant had come to his sense. However, the final line provided evidence otherwise: “We fail when we fail to achieve such an honour. No retreat, no surrender.” The chaplain, in unbridled fury, turned heel to his commander. “No, brother, we fail if we give our lives needlessly! To die for the chapter, for the Emperor, is praise worthy, but not if it leaves us without the means to fight the battles to come! You know this, boy, just as he knew it. Thule’s teachings are not to be misused for justification of a suicide mission.” Sigmund sighed, calming himself before he continued. “He saw the potential in both of you all those years ago, just as I did. And in the end, both he and Thule sacrificed themselves for you, to make you who you are now. You are their legacy now.” Turning back around, he began to walk out, but turned back as he reached to arched doorway. “The chapter calls. And may none find you wanting.” Sigmund stormed out, the clang of his power armoured boots echoing throughout the room. The sergeant stayed still, taking it all in. He deserved this position, not him. He was the leader, just as Thule was. And slowly, the sergeants mind head back to the last days of the Penance Crusade, the war that had raged on for half a decade, a war on the Bloated World. Sergeant Aramus, Force Commander of the Penance Crusade, Hero of Typhon, stared out into the abyss in front of him. A green mist of coiling vapour made it impossible to see further than a few metres in front of him. But he could feel their eyes on him, their malevolent, hate filled eyes. They judged the man for what he was, a traitor, a commander that failed to lead his men. The one who, when desperate, skulked down to the level of the very demons that surrounded him. This was his fault. He turned from the battlements and back to the remains of his company. A hundred and fifty outcast battle brothers from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th companies once set out from sub sector Aurelia, but now only thirty remained. All the Dreadnoughts, Land Raiders and Predators were destroyed, either rotted by rusted or blasted by what few traitors they had found on this blighted world surface. Only a few Stormhawks and a battered Thunderhawk remained, just enough to carry what was left above the poisonous clouds, where the Retribution hung in orbit, a skeleton crew of servitors at its helm. Yet, retreat wasn’t an option for Aramus. This was penance; death was almost guaranteed. Aramus could feel the void that was the absence of Apothecary Aeneus, for half of those that remained were injured, with only Brother Marenus’ cybernetics to aid them. A space marines body is a durable vessel, able to heal itself from injuries no mere man could. But a century of destroying Chaos bastions, fighting off demons and surviving hells that would drive even the most grounded man mad can crack and even break the bravest of the battle brothers. Good men who could’ve fought in a war that actually mattered, not in a bloodbath that only appeased the dark gods of the warp. Aeneus knew that more than anyone, risking life and limb for his brothers, recovering the precious gene-seed of the fallen. Thanks to him, those that had died early on in the Crusade could serve once again. But once they were stuck on this world, once Aeneus fell soon after, no brother would feel the Emperors Grace. As Aramus reached the centre of the makeshift camp, Brother-Chaplain Sigmund approached him, wearing the bone and black armour of his station. His helm was cracked, the skull splintered from the right eye to the chin. His armour was similar fractured, but as was it for every battle brother that remained. “Brother-Librarian Anteas wishes to speak with you, commander. I believe he has word from the Chapter. Perhaps even Angelos himself” “That is good to hear, brother chaplain,” he replied, “What word of the shield brother Marenus has set up? Does it hold?” “The techmarine says the Gellar field he’s made would collapse sooner than expected. He estimates any defence of this position is tantalous at best, especially with such little equipment in working condition. He and I agree that we will have to evacuate soon.” “You know we do not have such a luxury, brother.” Sigmund placed his hand on Aramus’ shoulder. Sigmund was the only one of them to come by choice. His reasons were his own, which perplexed the commander, but nevertheless, he had been valuable to keep his brother moral high, to keep them focussed on the Emperors light. Slowly, Sigmund had turned these men from possible traitors, hearts turning black with heresy, to true sons the Emperor could be proud of. “I understand what you seek brother. Your deeds corrupted your brothers in the past, but now they have absolved themselves through your leadership. We are now champions of the Emperor once more!” Sigmund seemed to stare into his commanders’ soul with the depthless eyes of his helm. “It may not have been a century brother, but the Chapter needs us now, now more than ever.

Erskine (ed.), A Companion to the Hellenistic World,Metadata, Oxford: Blackwell citation 2003, and similar papers at core.ac.uk ProvidedS. 431-445 by Propylaeum-DOK CHAPTKR TWENTY-FIVE The Divinity of Hellenistic Rulers Anßdos Chaniotis 1 Introduction: the Paradox of Mortal Divinity When King Demetrios Poliorketes returned to Athens from Kerkyra in 291, the Athenians welcomed him with a processional song, the text of which has long been recognized as one of the most interesting sources for Hellenistic ruler cult: How the greatest and dearest of the gods have come to the city! For the hour has brought together Demeter and Demetrios; she comes to celebrate the solemn mysteries of the Kore, while he is here füll of joy, as befits the god, fair and laughing. His appearance is majestic, his friends all around him and he in their midst, as though they were stars and he the sun. Hail son of the most powerful god Poseidon and Aphrodite. (Douris FGrH76 Fl3, cf. Demochares FGrH75 F2, both at Athen. 6.253b-f; trans. as Austin 35) Had only the first lines of this ritual song survived, the modern reader would notice the assimilaüon of the adventus of a mortal king with that of a divinity, the etymo- logical association of his name with that of Demeter, the parentage of mighty gods, and the external features of a divine ruler (joy, beauty, majesty). Very often scholars reach their conclusions about aspects of ancient mentality on the basis of a fragment; and very often - unavoidably - they conceive only a fragment of reality.

  • The Great Inscription, Its Political and Social Institutions and the Common Institutions of the Cretans
    Originalveroffentlichung in: E. Greco - M. Lombardo (eds.), La Grande Iscrizione di Gortyna. Centoventi anni dopo la scoperta. Atti del I Convegno Internazionale di Studi sulla Messara, Athen 2005, S. 175-194 THE GREAT INSCRIPTION, ITS POLITICAL AND SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND THE COMMON INSTITUTIONS OF THE CRETANS IS THERE SUCH AS THING AS CRETAN NOMIMA? METHODOLOGICAL CON­ SIDERATIONS In the eighth and seventh centuries Crete had been one of the most advanced regions in Greece. The Cretans adopted the alphabet very early; Cretan artists played a leading part in the development of Greek art, espe­ cially in the fields of metallurgy and stone sculpture; in the early seventh century they participated in colonisation, founding Gela together with the Rhodians; the Homeric hymn to Apollo associates the Cretans with the foundation of the sanctuary at Delphi. It is in this period of cosmopoli­ tanism and close contacts to the Orient, a period of a visible advance of trade, arts, and culture, that Crete seems to petrify. From the late seventh century onwards trade and arts do not disappear, but they certainly lost the innovative power they had had; the Cretan institutions do not keep pace with the developments in the rest of Greece; and although Crete was never isolated from the rest of Greece, its contacts with other Greek areas in the sixth and fifth centuries were not impressive. The decline of Crete as a cul­ tural pioneer in the Greek world goes hand in hand with the rise of its fame as a model of law and order. The Cretans did not any longer produce impressive works of art, but they produced more legal inscriptions than the 1 rest of Greece taken together.

  • Type Category Description F Food and Beverage
    The original source for data in this spreadsheet is a 2002 study for MassDEP by Draper/Lennon, Inc. titled Identification, Characterization, and Mapping of Food Waste and Food Waste Generators in Massachusetts . The final report from this study is available online at: http://www.mass.gov/dep/about/priorities/foodwast.doc. The data was updated in summer 2011 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 office. This study identified large generators of food waste in Massachusetts, such as food processors, wholesalers, grocery stores, institutions, and large restaurants. It calculated estimated food waste generation, shown in tons per year (TPY) in column G, and mapped generator locations to facilitate planning of programs and facilities for capturing source separated organic materials for composting or other diversion. Note that waste generation estimates are not available for food and beverage manufacturers/processors and distributors due to the variability in these sectors. In some other cases, generation estimates are not available for other facilities when data needed to estimate generation is missing for that location. Facility Category Codes in column F marked TYPE show generator groupings in the report as follows: Type Category Description Food and Beverage F Manufacturers/Processors W Wholesale Distributors IH Institutions -Healthcare Facilities IS Institutions -Independent Schools IC Institutions -Colleges/Universities IP Institutions -Correctional Facilities C Resorts and Conference Facilities G Supermarkets and Grocery Stores R Restaurants Most of the columns in the spreadsheet are self‐explanatory. Columns H, I J, and K provide GIS mapping coordinates to assist in locating food waste generators. The Massachusetts State Plane coordinates found in the X_Coord and Y_Coord fields (Columns J and K) were derived by address‐ matching via Navteq Postal Villages.

  • Nothing Routine!
    Nothing Routine (About the Scope of Advent’s Mission) Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said . (Hebrews 10:5) A sermon by Siegfried S. Johnson on the First Sunday of Advent, December 3, 2017 (Volume 1 Number 20) Christ of the Hills UMC, 700 Balearic Drive, Hot Springs Village, Arkansas 71909 Forty-five Advent’s ago, December 14, 1972, the crew of the Apollo 17 Lunar Landing Module, Commander Eugene Cernan and geologist Harrison Schmitt, lifted off the lunar surface to initiate their return to earth. These were the last astronauts to add footprints to the dusty lunar surface. We haven’t been back. It had only been three years earlier, that memorable summer of 1969, that Neil Armstrong spoke the words, “The Eagle has landed,” as Apollo 11’s landing module touched down on the moon’s surface. We frequented the moon between 1969 and 1972, but no American under forty-five years old has been alive for the ADVENT-ure of a manned flight to the moon. Space adventures don’t garner the saturated news coverage they once did. I suspect, for example, most here are unaware of this coming Friday’s launch from Cape Canaveral on a cargo mission to rendezvous with the International Space Station. I doubt, also, that any here are anxiously waiting our next manned space adventure launching two weeks from today, December 17. Called Expedition 54, this mission will carry a new crew to the ISS -- an American, a Russian, and a Japanese astronaut. Did you know about these imminent launches? No? I didn’t know, either.

  • Hippocratic Diagnosis, Solomonic Therapy, Roman Amulets: Epilepsy, Exorcism, and the Diffusion of a Jewish Tradition in the Roman World
    Journal for the Study of Judaism 52 (2021) 1–25 Journal for the Study of Judaism brill.com/jsj Hippocratic Diagnosis, Solomonic Therapy, Roman Amulets: Epilepsy, Exorcism, and the Diffusion of a Jewish Tradition in the Roman World Michael Zellmann-Rohrer | orcid: 0000-0002-5200-8480 University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom; Freie Universität, Berlin, Germany [email protected] Abstract Two contrasting portraits of exorcism in the Roman period for patients with symptoms consistent with epilepsy, drawn by Josephus (A.J. 8.45–47) and Lucian (Philops. §16), illustrate a substantial albeit contested diffusion of that ancient technique from the Jewish tradition to a wider Mediterranean public. The process is reflected in a simi- larly complex traditional background and textual composition of a group of inscribed Greek amulets for epilepsy. A sidelight on attitudes towards the practice of exorcism, on its way to wider popularity, and the conception of epilepsy is cast by these amu- lets, which have not yet been studied as a group. Their texts witness the application of precise Greek medical terminology, yet to an end, and in a compositional company, that authors in the Hippocratic tradition would have rejected. More generally, the arti- facts offer a cross-section of amuletic practice and its diversity in the Roman and late ancient periods.
