We knew each other from our publications in the field of the history of linguistics in various languages and were intrigued by the coexistence in one small country of specialists in four diverse linguistic traditions. The purpose of our meeting was to explore the possibility of finding a common theme in our respective traditions and publishing our ideas on this theme in a collective volume. It soon turned out that the common denominator in the four traditions involved, Greek, Hebrew, Sanskritand Arabic,was thepresence of acorpus ofrevealed or revered texts, which gave rise to the development of linguistic and herme- neutic studies. The question which the authors formulated was: How did the development of semantic theory intereact with the specific corpus cherished in each tradition? Since we were all living reasonably close to each other, we decided to discuss these problems regularly and to submit the successive versions of our own sections of the intended book to each other’s scrutiny. This turned out to be a successful way of developing new insights: by discussing the role of semantics in the other three traditions the authors were forced to re-evaluate their ideas on their ‘own’ tradition. Even though travel schedules to India, the United States, Israel and the Arab world did not always synchronize and it was sometimes hard even within a small country to arrange meetings, the authors managed to stay in touch either in person or by telephone and we are very proud to be able to present our collective effort in book form to the reader. The authors are responsible for their own section, but we bear a collective responsibility for the final chapter in which a brief synthesis is attempted of the results of our study. The authors wish to express their thanks in the first place to each other for aninnovatingexperimentincooperationandmutualstimulation.Wearevery grateful to the publisher, John Benjamins, and to the editor of the series, Konrad Koerner, for their trust in this enterprise. Jan Houben wishes to thank vi preface T. Vetter, J. Bronkhorst and H. Isaacson for their valuable comments on earlier versions of his article, and the International Institute for Asian Studies (Leiden) for providing continuing support and inspiration. The preparation of Wout van Bekkum’s part was accomplished under the aegis of the Centre for Classical, Oriental, Mediaeval and Renaissance Studies (comers) at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. The Centre provided him with a summer re- search grant. His thanks are also offered to Camilla Adang, Monique Ber- nards and Meira Polliack for their valuable comments. Ineke Sluiter’s re- search was made possible by a grant from the Royal Netherland’s Academy of Arts and Sciences. Parts of her essay were written in Clare Hall (Cam- bridge), and the Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington D.C. She thanks both these institutions for their hospitality.

This general dictum is occasionally cited in order to assert the chaotic role of meaning and definition of meaning in grammar and language studies.

Online & Print DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.1451898 GOLDEN GORGON-MEDOUSA ARTWORK IN ANCIENT HELLENIC WORLD Lazarou, Anna University of Peloponnese, Dept of History, Archaeology and Cultural Resources Management Palaeo Stratopedo, 24100 Kalamata, Greece ([email protected]; [email protected]) Received: 15/06/2018 Accepted: 25/07/2018 ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to highlight some characteristic examples of the golden works depicting the gorgoneio and Gorgon. These works are part of the wider chronological and geographical context of the ancient Greek world. Twenty six artifacts in total, mainly jewelry, as well as plates, discs, golden bust, coins, pendant and a vial are being examined. Their age dates back to the 6th century. B.C. until the 3rd century A.D. The discussion is about making a symbol of the deceased persist for long in the antiquity and showing the evolution of this form. The earliest forms of the Gorgo of the Archaic period depict a monster demon-like bellows, with feathers, snakes in the head, tongue protruding from the mouth and tusks. Then, in classical times, the gorgonian form appears with human characteristics, while the protruded tusks and the tongue remain. Towards Hellenistic times and until late antiquity, the gorgoneion has characteristics of a beautiful woman. Snakes are the predominant element of this gorgon, which either composes the gargoyle's hairstyle or is plundered like a jewel under its chin. This female figure with the snakes is interwoven with Gorgo- Medusa and the Perseus myth that had a wide reflection throughout the ancient times.

  • Hesiod Theogony.Pdf
    Hesiod (8th or 7th c. BC, composed in Greek) The Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, are probably slightly earlier than Hesiod’s two surviving poems, the Works and Days and the Theogony. Yet in many ways Hesiod is the more important author for the study of Greek mythology. While Homer treats cer- tain aspects of the saga of the Trojan War, he makes no attempt at treating myth more generally. He often includes short digressions and tantalizes us with hints of a broader tra- dition, but much of this remains obscure. Hesiod, by contrast, sought in his Theogony to give a connected account of the creation of the universe. For the study of myth he is im- portant precisely because his is the oldest surviving attempt to treat systematically the mythical tradition from the first gods down to the great heroes. Also unlike the legendary Homer, Hesiod is for us an historical figure and a real per- sonality. His Works and Days contains a great deal of autobiographical information, in- cluding his birthplace (Ascra in Boiotia), where his father had come from (Cyme in Asia Minor), and the name of his brother (Perses), with whom he had a dispute that was the inspiration for composing the Works and Days. His exact date cannot be determined with precision, but there is general agreement that he lived in the 8th century or perhaps the early 7th century BC. His life, therefore, was approximately contemporaneous with the beginning of alphabetic writing in the Greek world. Although we do not know whether Hesiod himself employed this new invention in composing his poems, we can be certain that it was soon used to record and pass them on.

    Produced by David Widger INNOCENTS ABROAD by Mark Twain [From an 1869--1st Edition] Part 4. CHAPTER XXXI. THE BURIED CITY OF POMPEII They pronounce it Pom-pay-e. I always had an idea that you went down into Pompeii with torches, by the way of damp, dark stairways, just as you do in silver mines, and traversed gloomy tunnels with lava overhead and something on either hand like dilapidated prisons gouged out of the solid earth, that faintly resembled houses. But you do nothing the kind. Fully one-half of the buried city, perhaps, is completely exhumed and thrown open freely to the light of day; and there stand the long rows of page 1 / 107 solidly-built brick houses (roofless) just as they stood eighteen hundred years ago, hot with the flaming sun; and there lie their floors, clean-swept, and not a bright fragment tarnished or waiting of the labored mosaics that pictured them with the beasts, and birds, and flowers which we copy in perishable carpets to-day; and here are the Venuses, and Bacchuses, and Adonises, making love and getting drunk in many-hued frescoes on the walls of saloon and bed-chamber; and there are the narrow streets and narrower sidewalks, paved with flags of good hard lava, the one deeply rutted with the chariot-wheels, and the other with the passing feet of the Pompeiians of by-gone centuries; and there are the bake-shops, the temples, the halls of justice, the baths, the theatres--all clean-scraped and neat, and suggesting nothing of the nature of a silver mine away down in the bowels of the earth.

Poseidon is associated with dolphins and his trident, a three- pronged spear. His beautiful palace on the seafloor was made of coral and gemstones. Poseidon had a strong and difficult personality, and was known for his greed. He was often at odds with other gods as his eyes often rested upon their possessions, which he wanted to make his own.
