But there is always a new generation to whom the ancient stories must be told; and the author has spent pleasant hours in trying to retell some of them for the boys and girls of to-day. He remembers what joy it was to him to read about the Greek gods and heroes; and he knows that life has been brighter to him ever since because of the knowledge thus gained and the fancies thus kindled. It is his hope to brighten, if possible, other young lives by repeating for them the immortal fi ctions and the deathless histories which have been delivered to new audiences for thousands of years.

  • Ancient Socialism
    Baldwin 5/19/06 8:36 PM Page 59 59 Ancient I dedicate this essay to the memory of Ken Coates, scholarly Socialist and quite the Socialism best man I ever knew. More another time on Marxism and the Classics; just one sample here to kick off. Robert Service’s biography of Lenin suggests he ‘first learned from Barry Baldwin Demosthenes how to discern a crack in the wall of an opponent’s argument and prise it open’. A nice link here with Ken Coates’ last Spokesman editorial (no.109), which twice ironically applies the Greek democrat orator’s name to David Laws. Homer’s Iliad has literature’s earliest articulate squaddie. Thersites lambastes Agamemnon for filching the best loot from rank-and-filers who do the fighting and dying, urging his comrades to pack up and go home ‘that he may see how completely he depends on the men’. Since the Iliad was geared to aristocratic audiences, Thersites – ‘ugliest man in the army’ – can’t win. While Agamemnon stands gob-smacked, Odysseus simply knocks the humpbacked agitator down. But, it is notable that the poet felt bound to include this bolshie private to challenge the Greek army brass. In the Odyssey, though, our hero looms paternalistic.

  • The Evolution of Hollywood's Representation of Arabs Before 9/11: the Relationship Between Political Events and the Notion of 'O
    Networking Knowledge: Journal of the MeCCSA Postgraduate Network, Vol 1, No 2 (2007) ARTICLE The evolution of Hollywood's representation of Arabs before 9/11: the relationship between political events and the notion of 'Otherness' SULAIMAN ARTI, Loughborough University ABSTRACT This article will deliberate on the political motives behind the stereotypical image of Arabs in Hollywood in the period before 9/11. Hollywood has always played a propagandist as well as a limitative role for the American imperial project, especially, in the Middle East. This study suggests that the evolution of this representation has been profoundly influenced by political events such as the creation of Israel, the Iranian Islamic revolution and the demise of the Soviet Union. Hollywood’s presentation of Arabs through a distinctive lens allows America, through Hollywood, to present the Middle East as ‘alien’ and so helps to make it an acceptable area for the exercise of American power. The interpretations of Hollywood’s representation of Middle Easterners involve different, often contradictory, types of image. They also suggest that the intensification of the Arabs’ stereotypical image over the last century from ‘comic villains’ to ‘foreign devils’ did not occur in a vacuum but, certainly, with the intertwinement of both political and cultural interests in the region. It is believed that this was motivated indirectly by U.S imperial objectives. KEYWORDS Imperialism, Propaganda, Hollywood, Arabs, Politics and Others. Introduction The Middle East has long been ubiquitous in American cultural rhetoric; topics featuring Arabs and Muslims appear in various American media including discussions, news coverage and, most accessibly and influentially, in films and television entertainment programmes.

"Citizens In The Making": Black Philadelphians, The Republican Party And Urban Reform, 1885-1913 Abstract “Citizens in the Making” broadens the scope of historical treatments of black politics at the end of the nineteenth century by shifting the focus of electoral battles away from the South, where states wrote disfranchisement into their constitutions. Philadelphia offers a municipal-level perspective on the relationship between African Americans, the Republican Party, and political and social reformers, but the implications of this study reach beyond one city to shed light on a nationwide effort to degrade and diminish black citizenship. I argue that black citizenship was constructed as alien and foreign in the urban North in the last decades of the nineteenth century and that this process operated in tension with and undermined the efforts of black Philadelphians to gain traction on their exercise of the franchise. For black Philadelphians at the end of the nineteenth century, the franchise did not seem doomed or secure anywhere in the nation.

    Alexander the Great (356-323 B.C.E.) by Louis Godbout Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com An ancient bust of Alexander the Great. Photograph by Andrew King of Macedonia and conqueror of a kingdom extending from Greece to Persia, Egypt Dunn. and India, Alexander the Great is one of the most fascinating men of all times. He was Image appears under the not only a great soldier, but he was also renowned for his love of his comrade-in-arms Creative Commons Hephaestion. Attribution ShareAlike License. The handsome and courageous Alexander was already, in antiquity, the subject of many histories, some written by people who had known him, most unfortunately lost. The irrefutable achievements of his short life are so extraordinary that they seem almost legendary. It is therefore difficult to distinguish the truth from the many myths that coalesced around such an appealing figure. Alexander's father Philip was himself a brilliant general who had greatly strengthened his kingdom and brought it to dominate the Greek city-states; his dream was to lead them against the Persian Empire, the arch-rival under whose rule Greek colonies on the coast of Asia had fallen. Philip undoubtedly felt very early on that his son, who was born in 356 B.C.E., had exceptional potential, for he hired Aristotle to be the boy's tutor, even though the cost incurred was the rebuilding of Stagira, the philosopher's hometown, which had been razed and its population sold into slavery. Examples of Philip's trust in Alexander's abilities abound.
