  • The Terracotta Figurines of Amisos. 14 I
    The Terracotta figurines of Amisos School of Humanities MA in Black Sea Cultural Studies The Terracotta Figurines of Amisos . Name: Eleni Mentesidou Student ID: 221100015 Name of Supervisor: Pr. Styliani Drougou Submission Date: 18 November 2011 0 The Terracotta figurines of Amisos Abstract. The subject of the present dissertation is the terracotta figurines of Amisos’ workshop which is in its most productive period during Mithridates Eupator kingship. The study has been focused on the figurines in relation with the economic, political and religious life of Amisos. Aim of our research was to find out in what extent the city’s economy and culture as the political circumstances, during the period of its activity, affected the production of the amisian terracotta workshop. Before dealing with the main subject has been considered necessary an introduction concerning the location, the geography, the foundation and the history of Amisos in order to be understood the general historical and cultural context that effected the evolvement and the activity of the terracotta workshop. Moreover, the following analysis of Amisos’ economy as the description of the occupations and the products of the amisians demonstrate on the one hand that the production and the exportation of the terracotta figurines were part of Amisos’ economy and on the other hand that the coroplasts of the amisian workshop represent through the selection of their subjects the city’s economical life. The forth chapter deals with the figurines as products of the amisian workshop. However, the lack of scientific treatment coupled with the fact that the figurines are partly preserved and have been diffused all over the world, impedes their study.

  • The Bible and Homosexuality
    1 The Bible and Homosexuality Some notes on the biblical references and how they have been interpreted June 2002, revised 2018 Leviticus 18:22, 20:13 Summary: Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 describe male to male anal intercourse and condemn it as abhorrent to Yahweh and therefore not to be practiced. It was rejected by the Hebrews simply because it was rejected by Yahweh. Social factors for the prohibition are not easy to discern. There is no reference in the laws to differences or changes in social status; the concept of pollution is not directly related in the context; and various ideas concerning semen do not seem to be relevant. The terminology of the commands implies that receptivity was appropriate to women, not men, but it is not clear that this was the reason for the prohibitions. Context: These two statements are found in the section of Leviticus known as the Holiness Code (Leviticus 17- 26). A key concept is ‘separateness’. The laws are presented in the context of not doing what other nations do (18:3, 20:24). The people of Israel are given a choice: to obey Yahweh, or not to obey Yahweh (26:3 ff, cf. 26:14 ff), simply because they are Yahweh’s people (26:11-13). No other justification is deemed necessary, and therefore no other justification is given. Leviticus 18:22 we'et zakar lo tishkab mishkebe 'ishsha to'eba hi' You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. Leviticus 20:13 we'ish 'aser yishkab 'et zakar mishkebe 'ishsha to'eba 'asu shenehem mot yumatu demehem bam If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death, their blood is upon them.

Ασία URL: <http://www.ehw.gr/l.aspx?id=9949> Περίληψη : King of the Kingdom of Pontus (c. 187-171 BC). He brought the Mithridatic dynasty to the forefront of the political stage in Asia Minor and developed diplomatic relations with cities in mainland Greece and the Black Sea. Τόπος και Χρόνος Γέννησης Second half of the 3rd cent. BC, possibly at Amaseia Τόπος και Χρόνος Θανάτου First half of the 2nd cent. BC, Pontus. Κύρια Ιδιότητα King 1. Family Pharnaces was son and heir to Mithridates III. He apparently acceded to the throne before 183 BC. He was also probably born at Amaseia, the then capital of the Kingdom of Pontus. Although we have no direct information on the cultural milieu in which he lived, the surviving evidence on the Hellenized Mithridatic dynasty allow us to suppose that he was raised as a Persian prince and received Greek education. 2. Deeds The scant information on the younger kings of the Mithridatic dynasty present Pharnaces I as the first ruler to have actively participated in the political affairs of Asia Minor. He makes his first appearance in the military and diplomatic scene with the capture of Sinope (183 BC),1 whereby he asserted the dynasty’s increasing power. The capture of the Greek city and Pharnaces’attempts to extend the possessions of his kingdom at the expense of the kingdoms of Pergamon and Bithynia led to a military clash with Eumenes II (183-179 BC).

  • The Sibylline Oracles
    Chapter Nine The Sibylline Oracles J. J. Collins Oracles, or inspired utterances, are a very widespread form of religious speech. Much of the Hebrew Bible is taken up with the oracles of the prophets. Prophecy declined in the post-exilic period, but we know from Josephus that there were prophets who uttered oracles throughout the Hellenistic period.1 These oracles have only been preserved in summary form or are very short. We do have, however, a lenghty corpus of Jewish oracles, attributed to the Sibyl. The standard collection of Sibylline oracles consists of twelve books, numbered 1-8 and 11-14. The anomalous omission of the numbers 9 and lO from the sequence of books is due to the nature of the manuscript tradition.2 There are, in fact, two distinct collections. The first contains books 1-8,3 and was published in Basel in 1545. The second collection begins with a ninth book, which is made up of material found also in the first collection: Book 6, a single verse which has been placed at the begin­ ning of Book 7 and Bk. 8:218-428. Then follows Bk. 10, which is identical with Sib. Or. 4. Books 11-14 follow in sequence. The first two books of the collection should be numbered 9 and 10, but since they only repeat material found in Books 1-8, they are omitted in the editions. The numb­ ering of Books 11-14 is retained. Books 11-14 were first published by Angelo Mai in 1817 and 1828.4 The twelve books of the Oracula Sibyl/ina were written over a span of more than 700 years.

  • Noah, the Ark, and the Flood in Early Christian Literature
    Scriptura 113 (2014:1), pp. 1-12 http://scriptura.journals.ac.za NOAH, THE ARK, AND THE FLOOD IN EARLY CHRISTIAN LITERATURE Mark Wilson Old and New Testament Stellenbosch University Abstract This article surveys the literary traditions related to Noah, the ark, and the flood in early Christian literature. Mention of Noah, the ark, and the flood is found in five New Testament books – Matthew, Luke, Hebrews, 1 Peter, and 2 Peter – as well as in two documents in the Apostolic Fathers – 1 Clement and 2 Clement. The relevant passages in these books will be discussed seriatim. Significant historical and grammatical issues related to the texts will also be noted. Finally, the rhetorical functions – moral, homiletic, eschatological, and ecological – will be discussed. Early Christian literature depended on the Jewish Scriptures, particularly the LXX, and Intertestamental literature for the motifs and allegorisation found its own interpretations. The traditions related to Noah, the ark, and the flood were important for Jesus and the early church, and an attempt will be made to elucidate their significance for each author. Key Words: Noah; Ark; Flood; Repentance; Judgment; Ecology Introduction The March 2014 release of the Hollywood blockbuster movie ‘Noah’ has put the subject of Noah, the ark, and the flood before a global audience once again. In Turkey the resolution of the Kurdish conflict with the PKK has allowed scholars for the first time in forty years to visit Cudi Dağı, the purported resting place of the ark in some Jewish, Muslim, and Christian traditions.1 This article builds on renewed interest in the topic by surveying the literary traditions of Noah, the ark, and the flood in early Christian literature.
