  • Greece, the Land Where Myths Replaces Reality
    GREECE, THE LAND WHERE MYTHS REPLACE REALITY (Myths about Epirus) What is myth and what does it serve? Myth is a narrative based usually on a false story which can not be used as a replacement of history, but sometimes myth might be considered a distorted account of a real historical event. The myth does not differ much from a folktale and usually the boundary between them is very thin. Myth must not be used to reconstruct, however in the ancient society of the so called “”Ancient Greeks”” myth was usually regarded as a true account for a remote past. Surprisingly this ‘tradition’ is descended to the Modern Greeks as well. They never loose the chance to use the myths and the mythology of a remote past and to pose them as their real ethnic history. This job is being done combining the ancient myths with the ones already created in the modern era. Now let’s take a look at two Greek myths, respectively one ancient and one modern, while our job is to prove that even these myths are respectively hijacked or created to join realities not related to each other, but unfortunately propagandized belonging to a real history, the history of the Greek race. Thus before we analyze and expose some of their myths which are uncountable, we are inclined to say that whatever is considered Greek History is completely based on mythical stories, whose reliability and truthiness is deeply compromised for the mere fact that is based on myths not only by the Modern Greeks and especially philhellenes, but even by the ancient authors.

Location: Princeton, NJ Client: Princeton University Area: 29,900 gsf (Wu); 11,000 gsf (Blair); 18,000 gsf (Little); 42,600 gsf (commons and conversion) Construction Cost: $3,143,000 (Wu); $1,724,000 (Blair); $1,300,000 (Little); $8,476,000 (commons, Forbes, landscaping, entrance, and other conversion elements) Completion: 1985 In 1980, VSBA was retained by Princeton University to conduct the school’s transformation from a dormitory to residential college system. This historic and fundamental alteration in the University’s structure (initially proposed but never implemented by Woodrow Wilson) was the result of a lengthy University-wide reappraisal of the institution’s mission and goals. The system-wide architectural changes resulting from this reappraisal encompassed new building, rehabilitation, adaptation, re-landscaping, and ornamentation involving ten buildings and complexes. VSBA’s task was to sensitively accomplish such sweeping changes endemic to Princeton’s evolving educational policy amid the school’s famous English Collegiate Gothic context, whose beauty and traditions were tied to the hearts and minds of alumni around the world. GORDON WU HALL, BUTLER COLLEGE Gordon Wu Hall provides a new focus for Butler College, one of Princeton’s three new undergraduate colleges, and houses its dining hall, lounge, library, study areas, and administrative offices. Our design problem was to create a building providing an identity for the new college and serving as a social focal point that would also connect with neighboring facilities in two stylistically disparate buildings. Furthermore, the building’s site was irregular, sloping, and narrow, and the facility was to share an existing kitchen with adjacent Wilson College.

  • A HISTORY of the PELASGIAN THEORY. FEW Peoples Of
    A HISTORY OF THE PELASGIAN THEORY. FEW peoples of the ancient world have given rise to so much controversy as the Pelasgians; and of few, after some centuries of discussion, is so little clearly established. Like the Phoenicians, the Celts, and of recent years the Teutons, they have been a peg upon which to hang all sorts of speculation ; and whenever an inconvenient circumstance has deranged the symmetry of a theory, it has been safe to ' call it Pelasgian and pass on.' One main reason for this ill-repute, into which the Pelasgian name has fallen, has been the very uncritical fashion in which the ancient statements about the Pelasgians have commonly been mishandled. It has been the custom to treat passages from Homer, from Herodotus, from Ephorus, and from Pausanias, as if they were so many interchangeable bricks to build up the speculative edifice; as if it needed no proof that genealogies found sum- marized in Pausanias or Apollodorus ' were taken by them from poems of the same class with the Theogony, or from ancient treatises, or from prevalent opinions ;' as if, further, ' if we find them mentioning the Pelasgian nation, they do at all events belong to an age when that name and people had nothing of the mystery which they bore to the eyes of the later Greeks, for instance of Strabo;' and as though (in the same passage) a statement of Stephanus of Byzantium about Pelasgians in Italy ' were evidence to the same effect, perfectly unexceptionable and as strictly historical as the case will admit of 1 No one doubts, of course, either that popular tradition may transmit, or that late writers may transcribe, statements which come from very early, and even from contemporary sources.

We hope to provide some clarity for all students on this matter, and for trans and non-binary students in particular. The LGBT Center, the Trans Advisory Committee and Housing are working in partnership to clarify and communicate the process of applying for gender-inclusive housing and to engage other campus stakeholders to discuss future gender-inclusive housing policy changes. This guide is a first step in more broadly communicating what the policies and processes are for obtaining gender-inclusive housing. KEY TERMS “Gender-inclusive housing”* – multiple person occupancy housing that is permitted to accommodate students of different genders. “Residential College housing” – where all freshman and sophomores live, as well as some juniors and seniors, who can live in one of the three four-year residential colleges. “Upperclass housing” – junior and senior housing located outside of the four-year residential colleges. Upperclass dorms are mainly located along University Place and Elm Drive, and also include the Spelman apartments.

  • Imitation of Greatness: Alexander of Macedon and His Influence on Leading Romans
    Imitation of Greatness: Alexander of Macedon and His Influence on Leading Romans Thomas W Foster II, McNair Scholar The Pennsylvania State University Mark Munn, Ph.D Head, Department of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies College of Liberal Arts The Pennsylvania State University Abstract This paper seeks to examine the relationship between greatness and imitation in antiquity. To do so, Alexander the Great will be compared with Romans Julius Caesar and Marcus Aurelius. The question this paper tries to answer concerns leading Romans and the idea of imitating Alexander the Great and how this affected their actions. It draws upon both ancient sources and modern scholarship. It differs from both ancient and modern attempts at comparison in distinct ways, however. This paper contains elements of the following: historiography, biography, military history, political science, character study, religion and socio-cultural traditions. Special attention has been given to the socio-cultural differences of the Greco-Roman world. Comparing multiple eras allows for the establishment of credible commonalities. These commonalities can then be applied to different eras up to and including the modern. Practically, these traits allow us to link these men of antiquity, both explicitly and implicitly. Beginning with Plutarch in the 1st/2nd century CE1, a long historical tradition of comparing great men was established. Plutarch chose to compare Alexander the Great to Julius Caesar. The reasons for such a comparison are quite obvious. Both men conquered swaths of land, changed the balance of power in the Mediterranean and caused many to either love them or plot to kill them. Scholars have assessed this comparison continuously.

  • President's Annual Letter 2019
    President’s Letter The State of the University, February 2019 Christopher L. Eisgruber Though the academic year is only half-complete, it has had many highlights already. One came on October’s first weekend, when more than 3,000 Princeton alumnae gathered on campus for She Roars, the University’s second conference to engage and connect female graduates. The event was spectacular, showcasing undergraduate and graduate alumnae whose talent and effort made them leaders in academia, the arts, business, government, the non-profit world, and many different professions. That it went smoothly is a credit to tireless and imaginative efforts of staff from departments throughout the University, including the Offices of Advancement, Facilities, Dining Services, Public Safety, Parking and Transportation, Athletics, and many more. I am grateful to all whose good work enabled us to succeed with the largest term-time gathering of Princeton alums in the University’s history—wonderful though it was, we clearly reached a limit, and we will have to think creatively about how to succeed with smaller events in the future. She Roars had many extraordinary moments, but the best-attended and most widely reported panel took place in Jadwin Gymnasium when Heather Gerken ’91, Dean of Yale Law School, interviewed Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan ’81 and Sonia Sotomayor ’76. As I looked around at the faculty members, alumni, staff, and students who gathered to hear from these three marvelous graduates of the University, I was reminded again of the importance and value of the transformative decisions that Princeton wisely made a half-century ago: to co-educate, to grow its undergraduate student body by nearly 300 students per year (an increase of more than 35 percent), and to accommodate this growth partly through the conversion of a hotel, the Princeton Inn, into the University’s second residential college (it was later renamed Forbes College).

With different approaches to these broad topics, the fourteen papers in this volume illustrate how much can be said about Ennius’ poem and its place in literary history, independent of any commitment to inevitably speculative totalizing interpretations. is a Professor in the Department of Classical Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.

Sallust's Histories and Triumviral Historiography Abstract This dissertation explores echoes of the triumviral period in Sallust's Histories and demonstrates how, through analogical historiography, Sallust presents himself as a new type of historian whose "exempla" are flawed and morally ambiguous, and who rejects the notion of a triumphant, ascendant Rome perpetuated by the triumvirs. Just as Sallust's unusual prose style is calculated to shake his reader out of complacency and force critical engagement with the reading process, his analogical historiography requires the reader to work through multiple layers of interpretation to reach the core arguments. In the De Legibus, Cicero lamented the lack of great Roman historians, and frequently implied that he might take up the task himself. He had a clear sense of what history ought to be : encomiastic and exemplary, reflecting a conception of Roman history as a triumphant story populated by glorious protagonists. In Sallust's view, however, the novel political circumstances of the triumviral period called for a new type of historiography. To create a portrait of moral clarity is, Sallust suggests, ineffective, because Romans have been too corrupted by ambitio and avaritia to follow the good examples of the past.
