  • Aeschylus' Libation Bearers
    Libation Bearers By Aeschylus Translated by Jim Erdman Further Revised by Gregory Nagy At the tomb of Agamemnon. Orestes and Pylades enter. Orestes Hermes of the nether world, you who guard the powers [kratos] of the ancestors, prove yourself my savior [sōtēr] and ally, I entreat you, now that I have come to this land and returned from exile. On this mounded grave I cry out to my father to hearken, 5 to hear me... [There is a gap in the text.] [Look, I bring] a lock of hair to Inakhos1 in compensation for his care, and here, a second, in token of my grief [penthos]. For I was not present, father, to lament your death, nor did I stretch forth my hand to bear your corpse. 10 What is this I see? What is this throng of women that advances, marked by their sable cloaks? To what calamity should I set this down? Is it some new sorrow that befalls our house? Or am I right to suppose that for my father’s sake they bear 15 these libations to appease the powers below? It can only be for this cause: for indeed I think my own sister Electra is approaching, distinguished by her bitter grief [penthos]. Oh grant me, Zeus, to avenge my father’s death, and may you be my willing ally! 20 Pylades, let us stand apart, that I may know clearly what this band of suppliant women intends. They exit. Electra enters accompanied by women carrying libations. Chorus strophe 1 Sent forth from the palace I have come to convey libations to the sound of sharp blows of my hands.

  • Lucan's Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulf
    Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Catherine Connors, Chair Alain Gowing Stephen Hinds Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2014 Laura Zientek University of Washington Abstract Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Catherine Connors Department of Classics This dissertation is an analysis of the role of landscape and the natural world in Lucan’s Bellum Civile. I investigate digressions and excurses on mountains, rivers, and certain myths associated aetiologically with the land, and demonstrate how Stoic physics and cosmology – in particular the concepts of cosmic (dis)order, collapse, and conflagration – play a role in the way Lucan writes about the landscape in the context of a civil war poem. Building on previous analyses of the Bellum Civile that provide background on its literary context (Ahl, 1976), on Lucan’s poetic technique (Masters, 1992), and on landscape in Roman literature (Spencer, 2010), I approach Lucan’s depiction of the natural world by focusing on the mutual effect of humanity and landscape on each other. Thus, hardships posed by the land against characters like Caesar and Cato, gloomy and threatening atmospheres, and dangerous or unusual weather phenomena all have places in my study. I also explore how Lucan’s landscapes engage with the tropes of the locus amoenus or horridus (Schiesaro, 2006) and elements of the sublime (Day, 2013).

  • Kriegsverbrechen Der Nazis
    Kriegsverbrechen der Nazis Verbrechen der Wehrmacht (aus Wikipedia) Als Verbrechen der Wehrmacht werden Verbrechen bezeichnet, die Angehörige der Wehrmacht im Zweiten Weltkrieg begangen haben. Zu ihnen gehören Planung und Durchführung von Angriffs- und Vernichtungskrieg, Massenmorde an Zivilisten und als Partisanen Verdächtigten, Misshandlung und Ermordung von Kriegsgefangenen, Besatzungsverbrechen sowie die direkte und indirekte Teilnahme an Völkermorden, darunter dem Holocaust und dem Porajmos. Die Wehrmachtführung erliess verbrecherische Befehle, die gegen Normen des Kriegsvölkerrechts (Genfer Konventionen, Haager Landkriegsordnung und Gepflogenheiten des Krieges) verstiessen. Die juristische und politische Aufarbeitung dieser Verbrechen ist bis heute nicht abgeschlossen. In NS-Prozessen seit 1945 wurden nur wenige Verbrechen der Wehrmacht verhandelt. Sie wurden in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland lange öffentlich bestritten oder verharmlost, ihre Strafverfolgung verschleppt und behindert. Wie viele einfache Soldaten an ihnen beteiligt waren, die Opferzahlen und die Motive der Täter sind bis heute umstritten. Verbrechensbereiche Verbrechen der Wehrmacht verteilen sich auf die Vorbereitung eines Angriffskriegs, der auf Vernichtung zielte, und tödliche Begleiterscheinungen und Folgen der Kriegführung. Ersteres geschah vor allem in Bezug auf Osteuropa, Letzteres geschah in und nach allen Eroberungskriegen der Wehrmacht, zuletzt auch beim Rückzug deutscher Truppen im "Altreich". Die Verbrechen erfolgten hauptsächlich in folgenden Bereichen:

    FOREWORD Major Patrick Leigh Fermor DSO, Intelligence Corps & Special Operations Executive Patrick Leigh Fermor From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Patrick Leigh Fermor in 1966 Born Patrick Michael Leigh Fermor 11 February 1915 London, England Died 10 June 2011 (aged 96) Dumbleton, England Occupation Author, scholar and soldier Nationality British Genre Travel Notable A Time of Gifts Works Notable Knight Bachelor; Distinguished Service Order; Awards Officer of the Order of the BritishEmpire Spouse Hon. Joan Elizabeth Rayner Sir Patrick Michael Leigh Fermor, DSO, OBE (11 February 1915 – 10 June 2011), also known as Paddy Fermor, was a British author, scholar and soldier who played a prominent role behind the lines in the Cretan resistance during the Second World War. He was widely regarded as "Britain's greatest living travel writer" during his lifetime, based on books such as A Time of Gifts (1977). A BBC journalist once described him as "a cross between Indiana Jones, James Bond and Graham Greene. 1 Early life and education He was born in London, the son of Sir Lewis Leigh Fermor, a distinguished geologist, and Muriel Aeyleen, daughter of Charles Taafe Ambler. Shortly after his birth, his mother and sister left to join his father in India, leaving the infant Patrick in England with a family in Northamptonshire. He did not meet his family in person until he was four years old. As a child, Leigh Fermor had problems with academic structure and limitations. As a result, he was sent to a school for "difficult children". He was later expelled from The King’s School, Canterbury, when he was caught holding hands with a green-grocer's daughter.

  • Classical Mythology in the Victorian Popular Theatre Edith Hall
    Pre-print of Hall, E. in International Journal of the Classical Tradition, (1998). Classical Mythology in the Victorian Popular Theatre Edith Hall Introduction: Classics and Class Several important books published over the last few decades have illuminated the diversity of ways in which educated nineteenth-century Britons used ancient Greece and Rome in their art, architecture, philosophy, political theory, poetry, and fiction. The picture has been augmented by Christopher Stray’s study of the history of classical education in Britain, in which he systematically demonstrates that however diverse the elite’s responses to the Greeks and Romans during this period, knowledge of the classical languages served to create and maintain class divisions and effectively to exclude women and working-class men from access to the professions and the upper levels of the civil service. This opens up the question of the extent to which people with little or no education in the classical languages knew about the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome. One of the most important aspects of the burlesques of Greek drama to which the argument turned towards the end of the previous chapter is their evidential value in terms of the access to classical culture available in the mid-nineteenth century to working- and lower- middle-class people, of both sexes, who had little or no formal training in Latin or Greek. For the burlesque theatre offered an exciting medium through which Londoners—and the large proportion of the audiences at London theatres who travelled in from the provinces—could appreciate classical material. Burlesque was a distinctive theatrical genre which provided entertaining semi-musical travesties of well-known texts and stories, from Greek tragedy and Ovid to Shakespeare and the Arabian Nights, between approximately the 1830s and the 1870s.
