Dr. Abdullah BAKIR ISPARTA - 2019 iii (YILMAZ, Burcu, Türkiye Selçukluları ve Beylikler Döneminde Aydın ve Civarının Siyasi ve Kültürel Durumu, Yüksek Lisans Tezi, Isparta, 2019) ÖZET Türkiye’nin batısında bulunan günümüz Aydın ilinin yerleşim çevresini oluşturan ilk çağların Tralleis antik kenti, kurulduğu alanda kendi güvenliğini sağlamakla birlikte bu bölgeden geçen transit yolları da kontrolü altına almış ve bu nedenle Aydın ve çevresi Anadolu tarihinin hemen hemen her döneminde içerisinde yer aldığı bölgenin başlıca merkezi olma özelliğini sürdürmüştür. Çalışmanın isminden de anlaşılacağı üzere tezin coğrafi kapsamını ve konusunu Türkiye Selçukluları ve beylikler döneminde Aydın ve civarının siyasi, sosyal ve kültürel durumu oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma dört ana bölümden oluşmakta olup, başlangıç aşamasında Tralleis antik kentinin coğrafi konumu ve bölgenin adı üzerinde yapılan incelemelerle bölgenin tarihsel süreç boyunca hangi isimleri aldığı üzerinde durulmuştur. Bölgeye dair ilk araştırmalar ise XIX. yüzyılda batılı gezginler aracılığıyla kentin arkeolojik zenginliklerinin bütün dünyaya tanıtılmasıyla başlamıştır. Birinci bölümde Türkiye Selçukluları döneminde Aydın ve çevresinin tarihi ele alınıp buraya gerçekleştirilen Müslüman Türk akınlarından söz edilmiştir. İkinci bölümde ise beyliklerin ortaya çıkışı ile beylikler dönemi bölgede Menteşeoğullarının varlığı konusuna değinilmiştir. Üçüncü bölümde ise Aydınoğulları beyliği ele alınarak kuruluşu ve menşei üzerinde durulmuştur. Daha sonrasında tek tek beyliğin başına geçen beylerin dönemleri hakkında bilgiler verilip Osmanlı Devleti himayesine geçişiyle bölüm sonlandırılmıştır. Aydınoğulları beyliğinin kuruluşundan Osmanlı ülkesine katılışına kadar ki olan süreç dikkate alınırsa bir asra yakın hüküm sürmüş olup bu süreçte Anadolu’nun Türkleşmesine büyük katkıları olmuştur.

  • A Ritual for the Dead: the Tablets from Pelinna (L 7Ab)
    CHAPTER TWO A RITUAL FOR THE DEAD: THE TABLETS FROM PELINNA (L 7AB) Translation of tablets L 7ab from Pelinna The two tablets from Pelinna (L 7a and 7b) were found in Thessaly in 1985, on the site of ancient Pelinna or Pelinnaion. They were placed on the breast of a dead female, in a tomb where a small statue of a maenad was also found (cf. a similar gure in App. II n. 7). Published in 1987, they revolutionized what had been known and said until then about these texts, and contributed new and extremely important view- points.1 They are in the shape of an ivy leaf, as they are represented on vase paintings,2 although it cannot be ruled out that they may represent a heart, in the light of a text by Pausanias that speaks of a “heart of orichalcum” in relation to the mysteries of Lerna.3 Everything in the grave, then, including the very form of the text’s support, suggests a clearly Dionysiac atmosphere, since both the ivy and the heart evoke the presence of the power of Dionysus. The text of one of the tablets is longer than that of the other. It has been suggested4 that the text of the shorter tablet was written rst, and since the entire text did not t, the longer one was written. We present the text of the latter:5 1 These tablets were studied in depth by their \ rst editors Tsantsanoglou-Parássoglou (1987) 3 ff., and then by Luppe (1989), Segal (1990) 411 ff., Graf (1991) 87 ff., (1993) 239 ff., Ricciardelli (1992) 27 ff., and Riedweg (1998).

Some of these mysteries, like the mysteries of Eleusis and Samothrace , were ancient and local. Athens Atlanta, Georgia: Scholars Press. At some date, Zeus and other deities were identified locally with heroes and heroines from the Homeric poems and called by such names as Zeus Agamemnon. The temple was the house of the deity it was dedicated to, who in some sense resided in the cult image in the cella or main room inside, normally facing the only door. Historical religions.

Sim Lyriti rated it it was amazing Mar 03, Priests simply looked after cults; they did not constitute a clergy , and there were no sacred books. I much prefer Price's text for many reasons. At times certain gods would be opposed to others, and they would try to outdo each other. An unintended consequence since the Greeks were monogamous was that Zeus in particular became markedly polygamous. Plato's disciple, Aristotle , also disagreed that polytheistic deities existed, because he could not find enough empirical evidence for it. Once established there in a conspicuous position, the Olympians came to be identified with local deities and to be assigned as consorts to the local god or goddess.

    Fun City Ventures - Episode 10 - Culture Fit [ Transcription by Matthew Wang Downing ] [ 00:00:00 ] [ Intro Theme begins ] > Molly Templeton / "Artemis": [ IC ] In the early 21st century, magic reawakened on Earth, and alongside it, a new human race, with orcs, elves, trolls, dwarves, and others. Humanity became metahumanity. As technology proliferated and greatly advanced in the awakened world, global megacorporations seized ever more power, becoming de facto states with their own laws, courts, and armed forces. The corporations attempt to control all aspects of modern life. This has led to a vast and complex criminal underground which works for and against corporate interests. The independent career criminals who do what others can't or won't are called Shadowrunners. The year is 2101. Welcome to Fun City. [ Intro Theme ends ] [ Main Theme begins ] > Mike Rugnetta / G.M.: Previously on Fun City, the team is hired by Mo Ashina of Combinatorial Limited to disgrace police union bureaucrat Verne Sollix, and end his architecting a strike of the NYPD Incorporated Police Force. Upon confrontation at the Police Expo, Verne claims that triple-A biotechnology megacorporation, Evo, is experimenting on police, who are contractually obligated to see the company for medical care. A strike is the only way to get leverage and stop them. He offers to hire the team, but a riot breaks out. Viv melts Cairn Holbrook, an NYPD reserve detection mage, and Luxe takes a call from Yuri, who has another job for them. Frazzled - but free - the team heads to The Ball Pit to regroup. There, they meet a many-armed man, who shows them an illusion of a horrifically dismembered Gabe.
