Appendix 2. Species Lists of the Beetles, Non-Beetle Hexa- Pods and Non-Hexapod Invertebrates of Montserrat M
Appendix 2. Species lists of the beetles, non-beetle hexa- pods and non-hexapod invertebrates of Montserrat M. A. Ivie, K. A. Marske, I. A. Foley & L. L. Ivie The beetles of Montserrat: an annotated checkllist Below are listed all of the beetles known to us from Montserrat, organized by family. Each has a name at the level we are able to assign it. Each has a code indicating the species’ distributional status (Table A), from single island endemic to invasive exotic. The symbol “?” associated with this ranking, indicates our lack of knowledge of a particular taxon. Following the distributional code is the original citation (if any) of the species from Montserrat, as well as any notes. This format is also followed for the sections on non‐beetle hexapods and the non‐hexapods invertebrates. Table A.

Chapter 4: Homer and the Iliad
Chapter 4: Homer and The Iliad I. An Introduction to Homeric Epic A. The Cypria: The Background to The Iliad and the Trojan War The stories we'll review below once comprised an ancient Greek epic called The Cypria. Like all such works except Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey, this poem consists now of only a few random fragments. Termed as a group the epic cycle, these three along with several other long narrative poems told the complete story of the Trojan War, episode by episode. 1. The Plot of The Cypria The myth of the Trojan War begins long before the hostilities erupted. Like so many extended conflicts, it starts at a wedding, actually a bit before the nuptials themselves with the reason for the wedding, an oracle which proclaimed that the male who sired offspring by Thetis, the sea nymph, would procreate a son greater than himself. It was essentially a warning to Zeus not to dally with Thetis, as he was wont to do among lesser female deities and mortal women. To universal surprise and acclaim, Zeus saw the wisdom in this and managed to contain himself for once. He decided instead to give Thetis in marriage to a mortal. After all, who cares if she gives birth to a son who's greater than some mere mortal, right? A good idea, but it didn't turned out well. Zeus bestowed the sea nymph as bride on Peleus, a Greek king. The gods held a magnificent wedding for them on Olympus and invited everyone except Eris, the goddess of discord. -
The Poetic Darkness of Aphrodite and Its Reception
THE POETIC DARKNESS OF APHRODITE AND ITS RECEPTION IN VERGIL’S AENEID . A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Natasha Marta Binek December 2018 © 2018 Natasha Marta Binek ALL RIGHTS RESERVED i THE POETIC DARKNESS OF APHRODITE AND ITS RECEPTION IN VERGIL’S AENEID . Natasha Marta Binek, Ph.D. Cornell University 2018 This dissertation examines the figuring of Aphrodite in the Greek poetic tradition and its reception in Vergil’s Aeneid . In particular, it considers the unflattering depictions of the goddess of love, along with her powers and complements, that, on the one hand, conceptualize her as a chaotic elemental force at odds with civilized existence, and, on the other, repeatedly subject her to humiliating disempowerment. Drawing on J. Mira Seo’s reading of characters as “nodes of intertextuality” (2013: 4) and extending to divine figures the insights of recent scholarship on the interpretative value of the dynamics of fama , I contend that the dark fama of the goddess of love is an intertextual presence in the Aeneid that shapes and dramatizes the process of the characterization of its Venus to an extent that has not been previously appreciated. In Vergil’s poem, we find fragments of Venus’ dark poetic past embedded within new narratives and reconfigured to new, often oppositional, effects. In turn, this composite make-up undermines the stability of her character, as past and present voices compete in a dialectical process that ultimately denies a fixed identity to this profoundly referential figure. -

Cosmic and Terrestrial Personifications in Nonnus’ Dionysiaca Laura Miguélez-Cavero
Cosmic and Terrestrial Personifications in Nonnus’ Dionysiaca Laura Miguélez-Cavero N HIS DIONYSIACA, Nonnus created a fantastic mythological universe for Bacchus, in the construction of which per- I sonifications play an important role.1 Some of these carry a cosmic meaning (Night, Day, Dawn, Aion, the Seasons, and the Moirai, but together with other elements which influence events on earth, such as Victory and Sleep), while others are topographical representations (rivers, cities, regions), and yet another group serve as courtiers of the divinities.2 There are three obvious reasons for this abundance of personifications: 1) The long tradition of personification, both literary3 and 1 Already R. Keydell, “Mythendeutung in den Dionysiaca des Nonnus,” in G. Radke (ed.), Gedenkschrift für Georg Rohde (Tübingen 1961) 105–114, at 112–114, noticed their importance in the Dionysiaca. 2 On the last type see L. Miguélez-Cavero, “Personifications at the Ser- vice of Dionysus: The Bacchic Court,” in K. Spanoudakis (ed.), Nonnus of Panopolis in Context (forthcoming). 3 Brief history in D. C. Feeney, The Gods in Epic: Poets and Critics of the Classical Tradition (Oxford 1991) 241–249. Personifications were particularly popular in Imperial and Late Antique Latin literature. On Virgil and Ovid see Feeney 241–249; P. R. Hardie, Ovid’s Poetics of Illusion (Cambridge 2002) 231–236; D. M. Lowe, “Personification Allegory in the Aeneid and Ovid’s Metamorphoses,” Mnemosyne 61 (2008) 414–435. On Statius, Feeney 180–191; K.

The Book of Gods,Goddessess,Heroes and Other Characters of Mythology
The book of Gods,Goddessess,Heroes and other Characters of Mythology In broad terms mythology is composed of traditional stories about gods, kings, and heroes. Myths often tell about the creation of the world (and about its destruction as well), about the creation of men, and, also, they provide lessons on a moral code by which to live. They were attempts to provide rationale to natural events and to human emotion. Mythological stories generally were passed on orally from generation to succeeding generation. Each tale, embellished and "corrupted" through the re-tellings, was probably a reasoned explanation of the facts as seen by unsophisticated and uneducated eyes. Most scholars today divide the subject into three categories: pure myth (primitive science and primitive religion), heroic saga (primitive history), and folklore (fictional stories). Mythological Characters WorldWide African Mythological Characters NOTE 1: Almost all African peoples believed in a supreme god who created the universe and all within it; this belief pre-dated the infiltration of the Christian or Islamic religions. This does not mean they believed in a monotheistic faith, for this supreme god had many under-gods. This deity was personalized in their individual mythologies, usually as a bi-sexual or non-sexual being, father and mother of all creatures and creator of every detail of earth. Abassi (Nigeria) Efik tribe's creator of the world. Abuk The first woman, according to the Dinka people of Africa. She is the patron goddess of women and gardens. Her emblem is a little snake. Adu Ogyinae (Ashanti) The first man. He was the leader of the seven men, some women, a dog and a leopard who were the first beings to come to the surface of the earth from holes in the ground. -
