De Novis Libris Iudicia ∵
mnemosyne 70 (2017) 347-358 brill.com/mnem De Novis Libris Iudicia ∵ Carrara, L. L’indovino Poliido. Roma, Edizioni di Storia e Letteratura, 2014. xxiv, 497 pp. Pr. €48.00. ISBN 9788863726688. In this book Laura Carrara (C.) offers an edition with introduction and com- mentary (including two appendices, an extensive bibliography and indexes) of three fragmentary plays by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, which focus on the story of a mythical descendant of Melampus, the prophet and sorcerer Polyidus of Corinth, and his dealings with the son of Minos, Glaucus, whose life he saved. These plays are the Cressae, Manteis and Polyidus respectively. In the introduction C. gives an extensive survey of the sources on Polyidus in earlier periods and in literary genres other than tragedy. He plays a sec- ondary part in several stories (as in Pi. O. 13.74-84, where he is helping Bellerophon to control Pegasus) and only in the Cretan story about Glaucus he is the main character. C. observes that in archaic literature we find no traces of this story, but even so regards it as likely that the tragic poets did not invent it (perhaps finding it in an archaic Melampodia). Starting from Il. 13.636-672, where Polyidus predicts the death of his son Euchenor, C. first discusses the various archaic sources in detail and then goes on to various later kinds of prose and poetry, offering a full diachronic picture of the evidence on Polyidus. In the next chapter C. discusses a 5th century kylix, which is the only evidence in visual art of the Cretan story and more or less contemporary with the tragic plays.

The Zodiac: Comparison of the Ancient Greek Mythology and the Popular Romanian Beliefs
THE ZODIAC: COMPARISON OF THE ANCIENT GREEK MYTHOLOGY AND THE POPULAR ROMANIAN BELIEFS DOINA IONESCU *, FLORA ROVITHIS ** , ELENI ROVITHIS-LIVANIOU *** Abstract : This paper intends to draw a comparison between the ancient Greek Mythology and the Romanian folk beliefs for the Zodiac. So, after giving general information for the Zodiac, each one of the 12 zodiac signs is described. Besides, information is given for a few astronomical subjects of special interest, together with Romanian people believe and the description of Greek myths concerning them. Thus, after a thorough examination it is realized that: a) The Greek mythology offers an explanation for the consecration of each Zodiac sign, and even if this seems hyperbolic in almost most of the cases it was a solution for things not easily understood at that time; b) All these passed to the Romanians and influenced them a lot firstly by the ancient Greeks who had built colonies in the present Romania coasts as well as via commerce, and later via the Romans, and c) The Romanian beliefs for the Zodiac is also connected to their deep Orthodox religious character, with some references also to their history. Finally, a general discussion is made and some agricultural and navigator suggestions connected to Pleiades and Hyades are referred, too. Keywords : Zodiac, Greek, mythology, tradition, religion. PROLOGUE One of their first thoughts, or questions asked, by the primitive people had possibly to do with sky and stars because, when during the night it was very dark, all these lights above had certainly arose their interest. So, many ancient civilizations observed the stars as well as their movements in the sky.

Man was born— 110 either that creator of things, the source of a better world, made him from divine seed, or the Earth, newly formed and divided only recently from lofty aether still held seeds related to the heavens, which Prometheus, Iapetus’ son, mixed PROMETHEUS with river water and made an image of the gods who rule all things.1 Other creatures keep their heads bent and gaze upon the ground, but he gave man a face which could look up 120 and ordered him to gaze into the sky and, standing tall, raise his countenance towards the stars. Thus, what had been crude earth and formless, was transformed and then took on the shapes of human life, unknown till then. First the Golden Age was born. It fostered THE GOLDEN AGE faith and right all on its own, without laws and without revenge. Fear and punishment did not exist. There were no threatening words etched in brass and set up for men to read, 130 nor were a crowd of suppliants afraid 1Iapetus and his son Prometheus were Titans, members of the family of ruling gods before Jupiter overthrew his father, Saturn, and imprisoned him. Jupiter and the major gods around him are called Olympians, because they are associated with Mount Olympus in northern Greece. of the looks of men who judged them.2 They lived in safety, with no one there to punish.

Divided into three sections, the work consists of sixteen original articles authored by an ensemble of some of the world’s most distinguished scholars of classical mythology. Part I provides readers with an examination of the forms and uses of myth in Greek oral and written literature from the epic poetry of the eighth century BC to the mythographic catalogs of the early centuries AD. Part II looks at the relationship between myth, religion, art, and politics among the Greeks and at the Roman appropriation of Greek mythic tradition. The reception of Greek myth from the Middle Ages to modernity, in literature, feminist scholarship, and cinema, rounds out the work in Part III. The Cambridge Companion to Greek Mythology is a unique resource that will be of interest and value not only to undergraduate and graduate students and professional scholars, but also to anyone interested in the myths of the ancient Greeks and their impact on western tradition.

MYTH AND MYTHOLOGY What is a myth? A myth is a story about gods and other supernatural beings and how they made or shaped the world and humanity. The events told in these stories happened in a very remote past. Myths are a part of religion, and they give an explanation of the world from a moral point of view; there is an ideology under every myth. Myths are also metaphorical; they do not try to explain the world in a logical or scientific way, but through imagination. However, we can still use myths to understand and explore culture: its viewpoints, activities and beliefs. Who made up Myths are very old stories. They are so old, that we do not know who myths? made them up: they are anonymous. People told these stories over the years and this is why we have many versions of them. Sometimes these stories –or parts of them—were written down and now we can enjoy them. Where does the The word ‗myth’ comes from the ancient Greek word μῦθος ―mythos‖.

Lab Assignment 1
CS181: Programming Languages Vladimir Vacic, Christos Koufogiannakis University of California, Riverside Lab Assignment 1 1. Given the following graph of possible flights between seven US cities: (graph taken from the web site of the American Mathematical Society, http://www.ams.org) a) Write a Prolog program that would check if there is a route from Fresno to Dallas, from Seattle to Boston, and from Atlanta to Fresno. b) Write a C program that does the same thing. Note: you have to write complete, working programs, run them and show the results. As far as C goes, the choice of data structure to store the relations between cities is yours. Warning: if there are cycles in the graph, Prolog might never find a solution and may never say that there are no solutions. If this happens in your assignment, make a note of that. 2. Given the partial family tree of the gods of the ancient Greeks encoded as a Prolog database: parent(chaos, gaea). parent(gaea, cyclope). parent(gaea, chronos). parent(gaea, coeus). parent(gaea, oceanus). parent(uranus, cyclope). parent(uranus, chronos). parent(uranus, coeus). parent(uranus, oceanus). parent(chronos, hades). parent(chronos, poseidon). parent(chronos, zeus). parent(rhea, hades). parent(rhea, poseidon). parent(rhea, zeus). parent(coeus, leto). parent(phoebe, leto). parent(leto, apollo). parent(leto, artemis). parent(zeus, apollo). parent(zeus, artemis). parent(oceanus, iapetus). parent(tethys, iapetus). parent(hera, ares). parent(zeus, ares). male(chaos). male(cyclope). male(uranus). male(chronos). male(coeus). male(oceanus). male(hades). male(poseidon). male(zeus). male(ares). male(apollo). male(iapetus).

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.

His screams are heard by his mother, Thetis, from the depths of the sea. She calls on her nymphs (Nereids) to come to her son’s aid. “With these the bright cave was filled, and the nymphs all alike, beat their breasts, and Thetis led the lament.” The names of ancient Greek sea nymphs are recalled throughout the work.
