To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

  • Nick Susa Epic Mythomemology – the Iliad Book 1: Achilles Was Fighting
    Nick Susa Epic Mythomemology – The Iliad Book 1: Achilles was fighting alongside Agamemnon, the King of Argos, during the Trojan war. After winning a battle each was given a war prize, a woman. Achilles was given Briseis, and Agamemnon was given Chryseis. However, the father of Chryseis, Chryses, who was also a priest of Apollo, wasn’t ready to part with his daughter and came with a ransom for his daughter for King Agamemnon. Agamemnon refused the ransom in favor of keeping Chryseis and threatened the priest. Horrified and upset the priest (Chryses) calls upon Apollo and asks him to put a plague upon the Achaean armies, one of which Agamemnon leads. For nine days the armies were struck with a plague, on the tenth Achilles called a meeting to find the reason for the plague. Calchas, a prophet and follower of Apollo, being protected by Achilles, explains that Agamemnon refusing the ransom was the reason for the plague and he must return the girl and make a sacrifice of one hundred cows to Apollo in order to end the plague. Agamemnon decides to appease Apollo, but only if he can take away Achilles war prize, Briseis. Achilles doesn’t believe that Agamemnon should gain Briseis, so the two begin to argue. Achilles decides that he and his men shall not fight in the war because of Agamemnon’s actions. After Agamemnon takes Briseis away, Achilles cries and prays to his mother, Thetis, asking her to have Zeus grant the Achaean armies many loses. Zeus was not around to be asked though, but after twelve days, he returns and promises to Thetis that he will grant the Trojans many victories and the Achaeans many losses.

    MODELS OF MASCULINITIES IN TROY: ACHILLES, HECTOR AND THEIR FEMALE PARTNERS Celina Proch and Michael Kleu Introduction – What Does it Mean to Be a Man? Films, as reconstructions and interpretations of reality, provide insights into social constructions of reality.1 They are one of the visual forms in which and with which a contemporary society is portrayed.2 Popular and successful Hollywood cinema productions have therefore proven to be an abundant resource for analyzing gender relations. Films set in the ancient world are no exception. In fact, while they usually employ storylines passed down over many centuries, they often turn out to be especially interesting in the ancient and modern values, moral conceptions, and societal norms they adopt and implement. Our particular focus here is Wolfgang Petersen’s Troy,3 which is “inspired by” Homer’s Iliad and focuses on two male characters – the Greek Achilles, introduced via a text insertion at the beginning of the film as the mighti- est warrior of all times, and his Trojan counterpart Hector, the heir to King Priam’s throne.4 The intention of this study is to analyze the depic- tion of masculinity in the film by examining both the representation of Achilles and Hector and the extent to which the narrative structures and 1 See Rainer Winter, “Film und gesellschaftliche Wirklichkeit.

  • Sing, Goddess, Sing of the Rage of Achilles, Son of Peleus—
    Homer, Iliad Excerpts 1 HOMER, ILIAD TRANSLATION BY IAN JOHNSTON Dr. D’s note: These are excerpts from the complete text of Johnston’s translation, available here. The full site shows original line numbers, and has some explanatory notes, and you should use it if you use this material for one of your written topics. Book I: The quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon begins The Greeks have been waging war against Troy and its allies for 10 years, and in raids against smaller allies, have already won war prizes including women like Chryseis and Achilles’ girl, Briseis. Sing, Goddess, sing of the rage of Achilles, son of Peleus— that murderous anger which condemned Achaeans to countless agonies and threw many warrior souls deep into Hades, leaving their dead bodies carrion food for dogs and birds— all in fulfilment of the will of Zeus. Start at the point where Agamemnon, son of Atreus, that king of men, quarrelled with noble Achilles. Which of the gods incited these two men to fight? That god was Apollo, son of Zeus and Leto. Angry with Agamemnon, he cast plague down onto the troops—deadly infectious evil. For Agamemnon had dishonoured the god’s priest, Chryses, who’d come to the ships to find his daughter, Chryseis, bringing with him a huge ransom. In his hand he held up on a golden staff the scarf sacred to archer god Apollo. He begged Achaeans, above all the army’s leaders, the two sons of Atreus: “Menelaus, Agamemnon, sons of Atreus, all you well-armed Achaeans, may the gods on Olympus grant you wipe out Priam’s city, and then return home safe and sound.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Classical Studies Faculty Research by an authorized administrator of Digital Commons @ Trinity. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Introduction The Iliad as oral poetry Edward McCrorie’s translation of the Iliad is a remarkable achievement, not least for its attention to the rhythms and sounds as well as the sense of the Greek original.1 This is especially welcome because meter is a key to understanding the poem. Unlike English meters, which are based on accent, those of Greek verse are based on the length of the syllables, while the accents are voiced independently. The verses of Greek epic are composed of six feet. Each foot begins with a long syllable, marked as —, followed by two short syllables, ˘˘, or another long syllable. For example, the phrase “queenly Hera” is scanned in Greek as “pōtnĭă Hērē.” In most Homeric verses, a word ends in the third foot, causing a break known as a “caesura,” which may occur after the first syllable (b), or in between two short syllables (c).
