No ancient author recorded the story of Herakles and Triton. This lack of literary sources for the depiction and the fact that it appears almost exclusively in Athenian art has led some scholars to look for a special meaning in the scene. They argue that the mythological battle may have had political significance for the Athenians. Peisistratos and his sons, may have adopted Herakles as their symbol; and the scene may refer to a naval victory of Athens over her neighboring enemy, the city-state of Megara. !

  • Some Words About the Category of Trickster in Ancient Mythology
    Studia Religiologica 53 (3) 2020, s. 203–212 doi:10.4467/20844077SR.20.014.12754 www.ejournals.eu/Studia-Religiologica Autolycus and Sisyphus – Some Words about the Category of Trickster in Ancient Mythology Konrad Dominas https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5120-4159 Faculty of Polish and Classical Philology Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The goal of this article is to juxtapose the trickster model suggested by William J. Hynes in the text Mapping the Characteristics of Mythic Tricksters: A Heuristic Guide with the stories of Sisyphus and Autolycus. A philological method proposed in this article is based on a way of understand- ing a myth narrowly, as a narrative with a specific meaning, which can be expressed in any literary genre. According to this definition, every mythology which is available today is an attempt at pre- senting a story of particular mythical events and the fortunes of gods and heroes. Therefore, stories about Sisyphus and Autolycus are myths that have been transformed and which in their essence may have multiple meanings and cannot be attributed to one artist. The philological method is, in this way, based on isolating all fragments of the myth relating to the above protagonists and subse- quently presenting them as a coherent narrative. Keywords: category of trickster, ancient mythology, Autolycus, Sisyphus, ancient literature Słowa kluczowe: kategoria trickstera, mitologia antyczna, Autolykos, Syzyf, literatura antyczna Every academic article should begin with the definition of basic terms connected to the main idea of the subject and included in the discourse suggested by the author.

  • Theseus and the Serial Killers Rather Than Traveling the Easy Way From
    Theseus and the Serial Killers Rather than traveling the easy way from Troezen to Athens—by boat across the Isthmus of Corinth—Theseus took the dangerous land route frequented by six criminals because he wanted to make a reputation for himself by facing them and making the road safer for travelers. These outlaws, usually identified as highway robbers, killed for pleasure rather than profit and actually fit the profile of what we now call serial killers. They exhibited sadism and a consistent pattern in their methods of killing as well as employing a level of brutality far beyond that of the typical highwayman of antiquity, usually involving mutilation of the bodies. Notably, the myths say little of what the six criminals did with their monetary spoils, focusing instead on how gruesomely they dispatched their victims. Periphetes, for example, with his club of bronze (or wood, or iron), smashed the skulls of anyone passing by his territory. Periphetes was a cripple; psychologically, serial killing might have been his way of compensating for his deformity (MAYOR). Sciron forced his victims to wash his feet; in his need to humiliate his victims he strongly resembles the power ascendant/dominant serial killer type (VRONSKY). With his victims thus occupied, Sciron kicked them over a cliff, at the bottom of which a giant sea turtle waited to eat them. Procrustes invited exhausted travelers to spend the night at his home and then made sure they fit his guest bed exactly: if they were too tall he cut off the excessive extremities; if they were too short he stretched their limbs with weights.

    THE STOIC INVESTOR REALIST | RESILIENT | RATIONAL February 6, 2020, Issue #4 By Nimesh Chandan The mind sees what it chooses to see… “It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Invariably you end up twisting facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts” - Sherlock Holmes, (Arthur Conan Doyle), A scandal in Bohemia. In Greek mythology, one comes across a bandit character named Procrustes who lived on The Sacred Way between Athens and Eleusis. Procrustes used to invite tired travelers to his home, give them food and offer them his bed to rest. However, if the travelers were short and did not fit the bed completely, he would hammer and stretch them. If the travelers were tall, Procrustes would amputate the excess length. In either case, the travelers died. We actively seek out only the information that This story of the Procrustean Bed is used to describe how people try supports our beliefs or to fit facts into a preconceived theory.

  • Lecture 26 Good Morning and Welcome to LLT121 Classical Mythology
    Lecture 26 Good morning and welcome to LLT121 Classical Mythology. We resume with the career of Theseus, the greatest hero of the city of Athens. The city of Athens, if you’ll remember from my interminable repetitions of this, is where about 85–90 percent of all Greek literature that survives today was written. It was either written by people from Athens, or people who were traveling from Athens, or people who were visiting in Athens, so on and so forth. As I’ve tried to suggest to you earlier, you know, in the last couple of weeks or what have you, that, aside from Heracles, each of these heroes had his own local hangout, his own city in which he was revered, his own city in which he was thought to be the number one bridge between the human and the divine. Theseus’s city was Athens. Theseus was worshipped as the hero of Athens. From there, it’s not really that large of a jump to understanding that Athenian literature, Athenian writers, Athenian people are going to do everything they can to make Theseus look important and good, because it reflects favorably on their hometown. I, on the other hand, laugh. I, on the other hand, say, “This is so transparent.” You’ll recall in his Twelfth Labor, Cerberus, the three-headed hound from hell, Heracles found Theseus down there. Did you hear about that? Theseus was sitting on a bench with a buddy of his. Apparently, Theseus and his youth—the guy’s name was either Meleagar or something else—decided they were going to go down and look for babes.

MCMXIV CONTENTS PAGE THE HEROIDES 1 THE A MORES S13 INDEX 509 I THE HEROIDES OVID'S LIFE Publius Ovidius Naso was born at Sulmo, a city about ninety miles south-east of Rome, in the country of the Paeligni, on March 20, 43 B.C., the year of the second triumvirate, composed of Augustus, Antony, and Lepidus, and the year of the proscription and death of the Ciceros. His family had been of equestrian rank for several generations. Ovid's education was begun at Sulmo, and com- pleted at Rome and Athens. In deference to his father's wishes, he pursued, with his brother, the rhetorical studies usual with the ambitious young men of the time, expecting to enter upon a public career ; but so fervent was his passion for literature, and so irresistible his instinct for literary art—he himself says that whatever he attempted to write took the form of verse—that he found it impossible to follow the profession of his father's preference.

Menu Statistics > Multivariate analysis > Procrustes transformations Description procrustes performs the Procrustean analysis, one of the standard methods of multidimensional scaling. For given “target” variables varlisty and “source” variables varlistx, the goal is to transform the source X to be as close as possible to the target Y. The permitted transformations are any combination of dilation (uniform scaling), rotation and reflection (that is, orthogonal or oblique transformations), and translation. Closeness is measured by the residual sum of squares. procrustes deals with complete cases only. procrustes assumes equal weights or scaling for the dimensions. It would be inappropriate, for example, to have the first variable measured in grams ranging from 5,000 to 8,000, the second variable measured in dollars ranging from 3 to 12, and the third variable measured in meters ranging from 100 to 280.

  • Palaeomath 101 Who Is Procrustes and What Has He Done with My Data?
    PalaeoMath 101 Who is Procrustes and What Has He Done With My Data? To this point in our discussion of geometric morphometrics we’ve focused mostly on developing background concepts: landmarks, size, shape, shape coordinates. Over the next two essays we’ll continue to develop necessary background, but now we’ll be discussing concepts fundamental to the current practice of geometric morphometrics and to mathematical shape theory. In the context of this discussion we’ll learn why almost everything we’ve discussed in this entire essay series, while valid in its own right as a set of powerful approaches to generalized data analysis, has been a bit off the mark when it comes to shape analysis. However, we’ll resolve this disturbing realization by learning how, with a few relatively minor changes, we can use the same data-analysis approaches to construct a new, very powerful and theoretically consistent approach to the analysis of shape that is ideally suited to tackling the most sophisticated shape-analysis problems we can imagine. This discussion beings, innocently enough, with a consideration of an alternative metric that can be used to express similarities and differences between the shape of sets of corresponding landmark points. Recall that, in the last essay, we discovered how to use Bookstein’s shape coordinate (BSC) approach to transform landmark coordinate data from their raw form — in which size and shape information are complexly confounded — into a mathematical space that uses a landmark-defined baseline to standardize the data for position, size, and rotational differences. In terms of preserving the geometry of the forms, therein lies the rub.
