Metamorphoses April 13 – May 19 Wurtele Thrust Stage WELCOME The Call Is Places 2018–2019 SUBSCRIBER NEWSLETTER Metamorphoses April 13 – May 19 Wurtele Thrust Stage WELCOME From Artistic Director Joseph Haj SEASON 2018–2019 Frankenstein – Playing with Fire Sept 15 – Oct 27, 2018 Dear Friends, Wurtele Thrust Stage The first lines of Mary Zimmerman’s Metamorphoses are a prayer of Noises Off transformation. A woman, gazing at her visage in the water, beseeches Oct 27 – Dec 16, 2018 the gods to change her. In this one intimate moment, the play’s trajectory McGuire Proscenium Stage is made plain. As we watch the myths of Ovid unfold, every story reveals humanity’s desire to shed its skin and change. A Christmas Carol Nov 13 – Dec 29, 2018 Mary’s choice to stage the scenes in and around a pool of water is Wurtele Thrust Stage ingenious, not to mention an aesthetic and technical triumph. But as she clarifies in the script, the pool is never a literal embodiment of the text. The Great Leap Rather, it is used to amplify, and in some cases contradict, the play’s Jan 12 – Feb 10, 2019 McGuire Proscenium Stage thematic action and poetry. As You Like It From its 1998 world premiere at Chicago’s Lookingglass Theatre Feb 9 – March 17, 2019 Company to its Broadway debut in 2002 to its incredibly successful Wurtele Thrust Stage revival at Berkeley Repertory Theatre in co-production with the Guthrie, Mary’s signature masterpiece continues to grip audiences, both visually Cyrano and emotionally. By examining love and loss in all its forms, these ancient de Bergerac stories plumb the depths of the human experience and allow us to March 16 – May 5, 2019 examine our own capacity for change. McGuire Proscenium Stage I’ve directed Metamorphoses multiple times, and it’s an honor to have Metamorphoses Mary, who envisioned and realized this masterful work from the beginning, April 13 – May 19, 2019 helming it at the Guthrie. After wowing us with The White Snake during Wurtele Thrust Stage our 2014–2015 Season, it is a thrill to have her back in our midst. Guys and Dolls I hope you enjoy the show from its breathtaking start to its transcendent June 22 – Aug 25, 2019 conclusion. Like the woman by the water and her fellow mortals, may we, Wurtele Thrust Stage too, keep our hearts open to change and allow ourselves to be transformed.

Box 20537 CY - 1678 Nicosia (Cyprus) Fecha de recepción: 30/06/2020 Fecha de aceptación: 15/10/2020 ABSTRACT: This article deals with Titus’ visit to the temple of Venus at Paphos in the second book of Tacitus’ Historiae. I argue that apart from its other literary intentions already mentioned by scholars, this digression implicitly connects Titus not only with Aeneas but also with Julius Caesar. Titus’ affair with Berenice that recalls Caesar’s affair with Cleopatra, Tacitus’ allusions to Lucan’s De Bello Civili where Caesar’s visit to the tomb of Alexander the Great is described, the πόθος- Motiv and fortuna’s favour that characterise both Roman generals, all contribute to connect Titus with Caesar and allow the reader to view a parallel between the Flavian and the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Furthermore, the particular digression allows the historian to present certain aspects of his work and his historiographic practices and to reinforce his credibility. KEYWORDS: Tacitus – Titus – Lucan – Caesar – Paphian Venus As a result of its geographical position, cultural contribution and multifaceted presence in historical developments, Cyprus makes a frequent appearance not only in ancient Greek, but also in Latin literature. Roman writers usually view the island as an important point of transition from the Greek world to the East and to Egypt, while they rarely neglect to turn their attention to Cyprus’ connection to the worship of the goddess Venus.

Usually he would visit the oracle at Delphi, overland from their home in Greece, but the way is blocked by a hostile king. He decides instead to sail across the Aegean Sea to Asia and the oracle at Claros on the Ionian shore. In this passage he tells his wife his plan, and she reacts with alarm. Notes Teachers should not feel that they need to pass on to their students all the information from these notes; they should choose whatever they think is appropriate. The examination requires knowledge outside the text only when it is needed in order to understand the text. 1 The translation is ante (before [he left]) tamen (however) fidissima Alcyone (most faithful Alcyone) certam te facit (he made you certain) consilii sui (of his plan) The loving relationship between Alcyone and Ceyx is stressed by the superlative vocative fidissima (‘most faithful’).

  • Trojan War - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Trojan War from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia for the 1997 Film, See Trojan War (Film)
    5/14/2014 Trojan War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Trojan War From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For the 1997 film, see Trojan War (film). In Greek mythology, the Trojan War was waged against the city of Troy by the Achaeans (Greeks) after Paris of Troy took Helen Trojan War from her husband Menelaus king of Sparta. The war is one of the most important events in Greek mythology and has been narrated through many works of Greek literature, most notably through Homer's Iliad. The Iliad relates a part of the last year of the siege of Troy; its sequel, the Odyssey describes Odysseus's journey home. Other parts of the war are described in a cycle of epic poems, which have survived through fragments. Episodes from the war provided material for Greek tragedy and other works of Greek literature, and for Roman poets including Virgil and Ovid. The war originated from a quarrel between the goddesses Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite, after Eris, the goddess of strife and discord, gave them a golden apple, sometimes known as the Apple of Discord, marked "for the fairest". Zeus sent the goddesses to Paris, who judged that Aphrodite, as the "fairest", should receive the apple. In exchange, Aphrodite made Helen, the most beautiful Achilles tending the wounded Patroclus of all women and wife of Menelaus, fall in love with Paris, who (Attic red-figure kylix, c. 500 BC) took her to Troy. Agamemnon, king of Mycenae and the brother of Helen's husband Menelaus, led an expedition of Achaean The war troops to Troy and besieged the city for ten years because of Paris' Setting: Troy (modern Hisarlik, Turkey) insult.

  • Incest, Cannibalism, Filicide: Elements of the Thyestes Myth in Ovid’S Stories of Tereus and Myrrha
    INCEST, CANNIBALISM, FILICIDE: ELEMENTS OF THE THYESTES MYTH IN OVID’S STORIES OF TEREUS AND MYRRHA Hannah Sorscher A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial ful- fillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Classics. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Sharon L. James James J. O’Hara Emily Baragwanath © 2017 Hannah Sorscher ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Hannah Sorscher: Incest, Cannibalism, Filicide: Elements of the Thyestes Myth in Ovid’s Stories of Tereus and Myrrha (Under the direction of Sharon L. James) This thesis analyzes key stories in Books 6–10 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses through a focus on the pair of stories that bookend the central section of the poem, the narratives of Tereus and Myrrha. These two stories exemplify the mythic types of the family-centered stories in Books 6– 10: Tereus’ is a tale of filicide (specifically, filial cannibalism), while Myrrha’s features incest. Ovid links these stories through themes and plot elements that are shared with the tragedy of Thyestes, a paradigmatic tragic myth encompassing both filial cannibalism and incest, otherwise untold in the Metamorphoses. Through allusions to Thyestes’ myth, Ovid binds together the se- quence of human dramas in the poem, beginning and ending with the Tereus and Myrrha stories. Furthermore, the poet reinforces and signals the connections between the stories through textual echoes, lexical formulations, and shared narrative elements. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………..1 Thyestes…………………………………………………………………………………………...2 Lexical Connections……………………………………………………………………………...13 Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………………….....34 Works Cited…………………………………………………………………………………...…3 iv Introduction In the central books of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, six episodes share a dark but very Ovidi- an theme: the destruction of human families.

  • Majesty Real Estate
    1 Majesty Real Estate Halcyon Villa 12 Alexandr Godovnikov · Tuesday, March 27th, 2018 Halcyon’s name and concept were derived from the story of Alcyone and Ceyx, from ancient Greek mythology. Ceyx angered the great god, Zeus, who orchestrated a shipwreck in which Ceyx perished. Grief-stricken, Alcyone threw herself into the sea. Out of compassion, the gods changed both Ceyx and Alcyone into halcyon birds, named after her. A type of kingfisher, the halcyon builds its nest on the surface of the ocean. During its nesting season in the fourteen days preceeding the winter solstice kingfisher charms the winds and waves so that the seas remain calm and its nest protected. Often spotted in the Limassol area, the kingfisher and its name have since become synonymous with serenity, safety and happiness. This seafront oasis offers a style of living unparalleled on the island… close to the city but seeming a million miles away. Only a short drive east from the center of Limassol, Halcyon is an ultra-luxury residential community with a beachfront setting that places it in a class all its own.
