  • Heroic Youth Leaders Are Treated to an Early Thanksgiving In
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA ALERT Heroic Youth Leaders are Treated to an Early Thanksgiving in Recognition of Their Environmental Stewardship Young Heroes at the Helm of Cleaning and Greening Los Angeles County are Celebrated Los Angeles, CA-----November 2019-----Los Angeles young adult “Corpsmembers” from the LA Conservation Corps (LA Corps) are being celebrated with an early Thanksgiving meal in appreciation for their daily commitment and leadership in caring for the environment and revitalizing neighborhoods across Los Angeles County with beautification and conservation projects. As Corpsmembers, they participate in hands-on job skills training and work experiences at the Corps with an emphasis on conservation; they earn a paycheck while they learn. They develop a solid work ethic, patience, effective communication skills, teamwork, self-confidence, leadership, and green workforce skills as a result of the program, becoming environmental stewards. Many Corpsmembers are at-risk young adults who join the Corps for a second chance. In addition to recycling, cleaning alleys, removing graffiti, planting trees, building trails and clearing fire fuel, these young leaders participate in and/or lead service projects, connecting people to nature and revitalizing urban green spaces across L.A. County. For example, at the top of the Culver City Stairs at the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, Corpsmembers have been working for more than a year in collaboration with California State Parks and the Audubon Society to enhance the safety of trails for hikers, build uniform step heights, conduct trail maintenance, and protect native plants. They hosted a day of service there for community volunteers to plant trees recently on National Public Lands Day.

  • The Monument of the Eponymous Heroes in the Athenian Agora'
    THE MONUMENT OF THE EPONYMOUS HEROES IN THE ATHENIAN AGORA' (PLATES 41-58) T175HE heroes who gave their names to the Athenian tribes provided the essential framework within which the Athenian democracy customarily functioned. In their persons, they linked historical present with immemorial past, the realities of government with the legends of remote antiquity. In their cults, they perpetuatedthat ancient marriage of ancestral religion and practical politics which formed so char- acteristic a feature of the Greek polis. The Athenian citizen enjoyed the privileges and responsibilities of his citizenship almost wholly under the protecting aegis of his tribal hero. It was by tribe that he voted in the annual elections, by tribe that he would be allotted to public office. As a representative of his tribe, he would serve in the Council and by rotation of the tribal delegations the Council formed its executive committee. On behalf of his tribe, the citizen competed in the sacred games or performed in the choral dances in the theater. As a youth he was mustered by tribe for military service. It was in the ranks of his tribal regiment that the Athenian drilled and marched to war, by tribe that he fought in battle, and by tribe that he listed the names of his comrades who fell fighting and did not return. The tribal structure of the Athenian state found its monumental embodiment in the precinct of the Eponymous Heroes in the Agora. Just as the neighboring Altar of the Twelve Gods was the central milestone from which the roads ran out to all parts of Athens, so the complex channels of civic authority ran out to every citizen from the monument of the Eponymoi.

    Fecha de recepción: 22 octubre 2020 Fecha de aceptación: 29 diciembre 2020 Fecha de publicación: 1 febrero 2021 URL: https://oceanide.es/index.php/012020/article/view/74/196 Oceánide número 14, ISSN 1989-6328 DOI: https://doi.org/10.37668/oceanide.v14i.74 Jorge Sacido-Romero Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, España ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0302-0990 Luis Miguel Varela-Cabo Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, España ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0569-0042 Achilles Redivivus: "Pink Floyd: The Wall" as a Modern-Day "Iliad" Resumen El presente artículo desarrolla la similitudes estructurales, temáticas y caracterológicas que existen entre Pink Floyd: The Wall de Alan Parker y La Ilíada de Homero, interpretando ambas obras como épicas centradas en la ira del héroe, sus consecuencias y su resolución. El argumento está organizado en torno a tres temas centrales: la pérdida como causa de la inacción y el sufrimiento del héroe infligido por un poder inhumano en el contexto de la guerra; la ley en tanto fundamento del orden social capaz de restablecer el equilibrio; el amor como fuerza unificadora para la armonía individual y colectiva. Comienza con una explicación de las razones de por qué se escoge la película en vez del álbum como objeto de análisis antes de pasar a presentar la tesis y los objetivos principales y de justificar la elección de la crítica arquetípica como marco metodológico de referencia. Para establecer las características definitorias del arquetipo aquíleo es necesario reequilibrar la concepción de Aquiles como ejemplo de poder masculino, llamando la atención sobre su lado más humano, que es el realmente dominante en la Ilíada, haciendo referencia ya en esta parte a las similitudes que conectan a Aquiles y a Pink, el personaje principal de la película.

  • Drawing Game by Ulrich Blum for 2 to 4 Dungeon Masters for Ages 10+
    An amazing (heroic) drawing game by Ulrich Blum for 2 to 4 Dungeon Masters for ages 10+ our own dungeon! You’ve dreamed about it for years. Until now, you could only spread fear and terror as a dungeon tenant. Until now,Y your fortune wasn’t depleted due to adventurous heroes (who overestimated themselves and will probably rot as corpses in their pathetic armor anyway). No, it was the constant rent increases from the dungeon rental companies that drove you to ruin! They claimed the increases were justified due to all the repairs necessitated by hero infestations. But that’s all over now. Your own dungeon! Chance brought it your way. During a shopping excursion in the Fallen Outlet Center while looking for new traps, you discovered a posted ad: “Dungeon for sale, direct from the owner!” This was your opportunity to finally stop throwing your coins away to your landlord demons and to turn the tables on the heroes. The price was amazingly cheap. You didn’t even have to pay a broker troll’s commission! Your own dungeon! Today you’re going to see it for the first time. There, that has to be it, the entrance to your new realm. You strut in and find a gigantic cave. Hmm, wait a second, why a cave? And it’s completely empty! Where’s the dungeon? There aren’t any walls to create maze-like corridors. There aren’t any traps to cause malicious injuries to adventurers. And worst of all: there aren’t any monsters to defeat heroes for you! Now it dawns on you ..
