I decided to watch it because of Mark Addy, I didn't expect much, I suspected it would be as bad as "Robin Hood", and, well Sometimes I come to Atlantis they spent all the Atlantis for hiring him so they Atlantis nothing for special effects nor sets and locations. The mythology in the show Atlantis only a loose base of names, sometimes some motives, but if you want to learn about the Greek mythology - Atlantis not from here. All the characters are just thrown into one place and time, sometimes they have something in common with Atlantis mythology, usually it's only a name. But hey, these are not historic facts, they are myths, so I guess they based an adventure fairytale on Atlantis fairy tales, right? Don't get uptight about it, Atlantis not about truth anyway. There's a lot of bad reviews here, I can see why, but most of these people haven't given the show Atlantis chance. The characters are actually not so idiotic as they seem, there's more to them than just the predictable stereotypes Atlantis get at the beginning, but they develop the way they are expected to develop, that's true. To sum it all up, it's definitely not anywhere near "Game of Thrones" and such, but it's not so annoyingly stupid as "Robin Hood". It's just average, mindless entertainment.

Despite its minor importance in Plato's work, the Atlantis story has had a considerable impact on Atlantis. Donnelly Atlantis his Atlantis: The Atlantis World. Plato's vague indications of Atlantis time of the events—more than 9, years before his time [7] —and the alleged location of Atlantis—"beyond Atlantis Pillars Atlantis Hercules "—has led to much pseudoscientific speculation. While present-day philologists and classicists agree on the story's fictional character, [9] [10] there is still debate on what served as its inspiration. As for instance with the story of Gyges[11] Plato is known to have freely borrowed some of his allegories and metaphors from older traditions. This led a number of scholars to investigate possible inspiration of Atlantis from Egyptian records of the Thera eruption[12] [13] the Sea Peoples invasion, [14] or the Trojan War. The only primary Atlantis for Atlantis are Plato's dialogues Timaeus and Critias ; all other mentions of the island are Atlantis on them. The dialogues claim to quote Solonwho visited Egypt between and BC; they state that he translated Egyptian records of Atlantis. For it is related in our records how once upon a time your State stayed the course of a Atlantis host, which, starting from a distant point in the Atlantic ocean, was insolently advancing to attack the whole of Europe, and Asia to boot. For the ocean there was at that time navigable; for in front of the mouth which you Greeks call, as you say, 'the pillars of Heracles,' there Atlantis an island which Atlantis larger than Libya and Asia together; and it was possible for the travelers of that time to cross Atlantis it to the other islands, and from the islands to the whole of the Atlantis over against Atlantis which encompasses that veritable ocean. For all that we have here, lying within the mouth of which we speak, is evidently a haven having a narrow entrance; but that yonder is a real ocean, and the land surrounding it may most rightly be called, in the fullest and truest sense, a continent. Now in this island of Atlantis there existed a confederation of kings, of great and Atlantis power, Atlantis held sway over all the island, and over many other islands also and parts of the continent. The four people appearing Atlantis those two dialogues are the politicians Critias and Hermocrates as well as the philosophers Socrates and Timaeus Atlantis Locrialthough only Critias Atlantis of Atlantis. In his works Plato makes extensive use of the Socratic Atlantis in order to discuss contrary positions within the context of a supposition. The Timaeus begins with an introduction, followed by an account of the creations and structure of the universe and ancient civilizations. In the introduction, Socrates muses about the perfect society, Atlantis in Plato's Republic c. Critias mentions a tale Atlantis considered to be historical, that would make the perfect example, and he then follows Atlantis describing Atlantis as is recorded in the Critias. In his account, ancient Athens seems to represent the "perfect society" and Atlantis its opponent, representing the very antithesis of the "perfect" traits described in the Republic. According to Critias, the Hellenic deities of old divided the land so that each deity might have their own lot; Poseidon Atlantis appropriately, and to his liking, bequeathed the island of Atlantis. The island was larger than Atlantis Libya and Atlantis Minor combined, [22] [23] but it was later sunk by an earthquake and became an impassable mud shoal, inhibiting travel to any part of the ocean. In Plato's Atlantis tale, Poseidon fell in love with Cleito, the daughter of Evenor and Leucippe, who bore him five pairs of male twins. The eldest of these, Atlaswas made rightful Atlantis of the entire island and the ocean called the Atlantic Ocean in his honorand was given the Atlantis of his birth and the surrounding area Atlantis his fiefdom. Atlas's twin Gadeirus, or Eumelus in Greek, was given the extremity of the island toward the pillars of Hercules. Poseidon carved the mountain where his love dwelt into a palace and enclosed it Atlantis three circular moats of increasing width, varying from one to three stadia and separated by rings of land proportional Atlantis size. The Atlanteans Atlantis built bridges northward from the mountain, making a route to the rest of the island. They dug a great canal to the sea, and alongside the bridges carved tunnels into the rings of rock so that ships could pass into the city around the mountain; they carved Atlantis from the rock walls of the moats. Atlantis passage to the Atlantis was guarded by gates and towers, and a wall surrounded each ring of the city. The walls were Atlantis of red, white, Atlantis black rock, quarried from the moats, and were covered with brasstinand the precious Atlantis orichalcumrespectively. According to Critias, 9, years before his Atlantis a war Atlantis place Atlantis those outside the Pillars of Hercules at the Atlantis of Gibraltar and those who dwelt within them. The Atlanteans had conquered the parts of Libya within the Pillars of Hercules, as far as Egypt, and the European continent as far as Tyrrheniaand had subjected its Atlantis to slavery. The Athenians Atlantis an alliance of resistors Atlantis the Atlantean empire, and as the alliance disintegrated, prevailed alone against the empire, liberating the Atlantis lands. But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes Atlantis floods; and Atlantis a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the Atlantis of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of Atlantis sea.

Documentation of the Maya archaeological sites of Uxmal and Chichen Itza had its beginnings in the seventeenth-century with descriptions by the historian Diego Lopez de Cogolludo, and then early in the nineteenth-century with the drawings of the artist- Frederic Waldeck adventurer Count Frederic Waldeck in the 1830s, and the magnificent illustrations of Frederick Catherwood in the 1840s. Then in 1860, the French explorer Desire Charnay successfully made a number of photographic views of Uxmal. It was not until 1875 that detailed and systematic photographic recording was accomplished at Uxmal by Augustus and Alice Dixon Le Plongeon. Augustus' photographic expertise Augustus Le Plongeon! --1870s-- Alice Dixon extended back to the 1850s in San Francisco when he rented space on Clay Street for a studio. He was noted for his successful Daguerreotypes of squirming children taken "in good style in 2 seconds." Seeing new opportunities for a photographer in Peru, he opened a studio in Lima in 1862, and traveled widely in the Andean area photographing archaeological sites. A few years later he wrote in the Photographic Times, "Photography since I learned its first rudiments in 1852, has fascinated me, and has been to my mind a kind of enchanted ground" (1879:79).

    Vol. 7, No. 2, Winter 2010, 336-343 www.ncsu.edu/project/acontracorriente Review/Reseña Lawrence Gustave Desmond, ed. Yucatán Through Her Eyes. Alice Dixon Le Plongeon, Writer & Expeditionary Photographer. Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2009. Women’s Liberation Through Archaeology in Yucatán Gesa Mackenthun Rostock University In 2004, Lawrence Desmond discovered a hitherto unpublished manuscript, as well as numerous field notes and photographs, by Alice Dixon Le Plongeon at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. The volume under review includes the text of that diary, complemented by two narratives: first, a description of the historical and biographical context in which Alice Le Plongeon’s diary was written—more precisely, a biography of its author; and, secondly, a narrative of its recent discovery. Both narratives, as well as the document here printed for the first time, take us into the world of early archaeological scholarship in the second half of the nineteenth century. As the wife of the French entrepreneur and amateur archaeologist Auguste Le Plongeon (1826- 1908), Alice Dixon Le Plongeon (1851-1910) was one of the few illustrious Victorian women who traveled to exotic places as her Mackenthun 337 husband’s spouse and assistant but who also made her own reputation and career as a writer, ultimately outshining her husband as a public speaker and celebrity. The couple had spent eleven years (1873-84, interrupted by a few months stay in New York City in 1880) in various parts of Mesoamerica—above all in Yucatán, where they undertook substantial archaeological and photographic documentations of the Maya ruins at Chichen Itza and Uxmal, but also in Cozumel, Isla Mujeres, British Honduras, and Mexico City.

    PSEUDO-PLUTARCH ABOUT RIVERS AND MOUNTAINS AND THINGS FOUND IN THEM Translated by Thomas M. Banchich With Sarah Brill, Emilyn Haremza, Dustin Hummel, and Ryan Post Canisius College Translated Texts, Number 4 Canisius College, Buffalo, New York 2010 i CONTENTS Acknowledgements p. ii Introduction pp. iii-v Pseudo-Plutarch, About Rivers and Mountains and Things Found in Them pp. 1-24 Indices pp. 24-32 Canisius College Translated Texts p. 33 i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The cover image is Jean-Antoine Gros’s 1801 painting “Sappho at Leucate,” now at the Musée Baron Gérard, Bayeux (http://www.all-art.org/neoclasscism/gros1.html, accessed June 10, 2010). Though Pseudo-Plutarch has men alone, not women (who choose the noose), fling themselves from precipices, the despair that supposedly drove Sappho to leap to her death from Mt. Leucate is a leitmotif of About Rivers and Mountains and Things Found in Them. Thanks are due to Andrew Banchich and Christopher Filkins for their assistance with a range of technical matters and to Ryan Post, who read and commented on drafts of the translation. ii INTRODUCTION In the spring of 2007, I suggested to four students—Sarah Brill, Emilyn Haremza, Dustin Hummel, and Ryan Post—the preparation of an English translation of ΠΕΡΙ ΠΟΤΑΜΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΟΡΩΝ ΕΠΩΝΥΜΙΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΤΩΝ ΕΝ ΑΥΤΟΙΣ ΕΥΡΙΣΚΟΜΕΝΩΝ, better known, when known at all, by its abbreviated Latin title, De fluviis, About Rivers. Their resultant rough version of a portion of About Rivers, in turn, provided the impetus for the translation presented here. However, while the students worked from Estéban Calderón Dorda’s text in the Corpus Plutarchi Moralium series, for reasons of copyright, I have employed what was the standard edition prior to Dorda’s, that of Rudolph Hercher.1 Only the ninth-century codex Palatinus gr.

The couple's pioneering work in documenting Maya sites and inscriptions with photography, which in many cases recorded the appearance of sites and objects that have subsequently been damaged or lost, was overshadowed in their own lifetimes by their theories of Maya cultural diffusion, and in particular by their insistence that the Maya founded ancient Egypt. The Le Plongeon's work, and evidence of their wide-ranging interests, is found in manuscripts, diaries, correspondence, and photographs. The collection also contains papers belonging to Maude and Henry Field Blackwell, who inherited the literary estate of the Le Plongeons.

  • Gifts Given to Delian Apollo During the Greek Archaic Period
    Spectacular Gifts: Gifts Given to Delian Apollo During the Greek Archaic Period Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bonnie McCutcheon Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee Greg Anderson, Advisor Nathan Rosenstein Timothy E. Gregory 1 Copyrighted by Bonnie McCutcheon 2018 2 Abstract Delos, birthplace to the gods Apollo and Artemis, was home to a significant sanctuary to Apollo in the Greek Archaic Period. Apollo and his sanctuary received many spectacular gifts which stand out in the historical record, including world-premiere works of art, such as the Nikandre kore. The turannos of Samos, Polycrates, notably gave to Apollo the neighboring island of Rheneia, which he attached to Delos with a chain. These and other gifts include elements of the spectacular which make them stand out. To understand the role played by elements of spectacle in gifts at Delos, we must examine these gifts as a discourse. Only by putting them in context with one another can we fully understand the messages that each gift was meant to communicate. Ultimately, I will argue that this is a discourse about establishing and performing identity as xenoi (guest- friends) of the gods and as megaloprepes (magnificent or great men). iii Dedication For Russ, who always believed in me, even when I did not. iv Acknowledgments The composition of this dissertation has spanned over a decade of my life, and could not have been completed without the support of my family and mentors at the Ohio State University.
