Onomata Planhtvn ooonnnooommmaaatttaaa ppplllaaannnhhhtttvvvnnn Onomata planêtôn The names of the wanderers An intonation in Greek, Latin, and English, naming all of the planets and moons in our Solar System, for eight-part chorus (SSAATTBB) a cappella Eric Banks Composed for The Esoterics in July 2002 for performance in the concert PLANÊTES. For Anthony and Jamie © 2002 Eric Banks (ASCAP). All rights reserved by the composer. Email: [email protected] Webpage: www.ericbanks.com About this work I was inspired to write this piece after coming across a complete list of moons in our Solar System. I thought it would be fun to compose a work that intones the names of these “wanderers” (or “planêtes,” the ancient Greek adjective used to describe the stars and planets that are not fixed in the heavens). The only texts that I have chosen to include in this composition are the names of the nine planets and Sun, as well as the 66 names of their various moons, which have been taken from legendary and literary sources. (Although I am aware that there are many more than 66 moons in our Solar system, I have chosen to employ only those satellites that have been named.) The following is a comprehensive list of the planets and Sun (in all three languages: English, Greek, and Latin) SAMPLEas well as their moons, in the order that they occur in Onomata planêtôn: English: Pluto Neptune Uranus Saturn Jupiter Mars Earth Venus Mercury Sun Greek: Hades Poseidon Ouranos Kronos Zeus Ares Gaia Aphrodite Hermes Helios Latin: Pluto Neptunus Uranus Saturnus Jupiter Mars Terra Venus Mercurius Sol Charon Nereid Setebos Phoebe Sinope Deimos Moon Triton Prospero Iapetus Pasiphæ Phobos Proteus Sycorax Hyperion Carme DO Larissa NOTStephano Titan Ananke PRINT Galatea Caliban Rhea Elara Despina Oberon Dione Lysithea Thalassa Titania Helene Himalia Naiad Umbriel Tethys Leda Ariel Telesto Callisto Miranda Calypso Ganymede Puck Enceladus Europa Belinda Mimas Io Rosalind Janus Thebe Portia Epimetheus Amalthea Juliet Pandora Adrastea Desdemona Prometheus Metis Cressida Atlas Bianca Pan Ophelia Cordelia The single moon of Pluto is named for the mythical Greek spirit who ferries souls of the dead across the river Styx to Hades. The moons of Neptune are named for eight characters of Greek myth that are also creatures in legends of the sea. The moons of Uranus are named for twenty characters in plays penned by William Shakespeare and Alexander Pope. The moons of Saturn are named for eighteen of the Titans, the mythical beings that existed before the Gods of Olympus. The moons of Jupiter are named for sixteen of Zeus’ notorious paramours that are found in Greek myth. The moons of Mars are named for the god of war’s two sons, in Greek: “panic” and “fear.” There are no known moons in orbit around Venus, Mercury, or the Sun. For science and music nerds At the beginning of this work, the English names of the planets are sung – from the outermost (now dwarf) planet Pluto, inward. Each planet is assigned one of nine pitches of a Lydian scale (from F2 to G3), and each pitch is determined by the comparative size of each sphere: the larger the planet, the lower the pitch assigned. This Lydian planetary list is sung by the Bass 2 choral section. A “planetary” ostinato is then constructed by stacking choral voices in succession above this English list. The Bass 1 section sings the same planetary list as the Bass 2: this time in Greek, at a slight delay, and one perfect fifth higher. The Tenor 2 section then sings the planetary list in Latin: at a longer delay, and a perfect fifth higher still. So, the resultant interval between the lowest and highest strands in this ostinato becomes the symbolically significant ninth (referring to the number of planets in our Solar System). After this ostinato has been set into motion for a while, the trilingual and triadic ostinato of each individual planet is then repeated and prolonged, and with this repetition, the diatonic center of each planet is established in the middle (Greek) vocal strand. It is above the “spinning” of these stacked fifths that the names of its each planet’s satellites are intoned. Above the “spinning” ostinato of each planet’s repeated stacked fifths, the names of its moons, from the outermost satellite inward, are intoned, by the upper five choral parts (Soprano 1 and 2, Alto 1 and 2, and Tenor 1). These five voices enter, highest to lowest, at a canon of the second. The resultant diatonic clusters encompass the interval of the fifth, and recede as time elapses. As with the pitches of each planet, the pitch assigned to each moon is determined by its size. So, the name of a large moon is sung at a small interval above its planet’s pitch center, and the name of a small moon is sung high above it. (The giant moons of Jupiter are scored in a very low register, and the comparatively miniscule moons of Mars are intoned in a very high range.) The duration of each moon’s incantation and subsequent rest is related directly to the logarithm of its period (the time it takes to revolve around its home planet),© and each2015 moon’s internal rhythm is determined Eric solely by the rhythms Banks of its spoken pronunciation. For literary and legendary nerds Below is a list the Solar System's named moons, from the outermost satellite inward, with the origin of each name: PLUTO Charon the underworld deity who ferries the dead across the river Styx to Hades NEPTUNE Nereid the name for nymphs who dwell in the Mediterranean Sea Triton the son of Poseidon, represented as body of a man with the tail of a fish Proteus a shape-shifting sea divinity, capable of predicting the future Larissa the daughter of Pelasgus, the king of Argos and oldest ancestor of Greece Galatea one of the Nereids, the beloved of Acis Despina a nymph, daughterSAMPLE of Poseidon and Demeter, "mistress" Thalassa the daughter of Aether (the upper Air) and Day, also known as the Mediterranean Sea Naiad a general term for nymphs who dwell in fresh water rivers, brooks, and streams URANUS Setebos a god who attends Prospero and enslaves Ariel in Shakespeare's The tempest Prospero a magician and the duke of Milan in Shakespeare's The tempest Sycorax a witch and the mother of Caliban in Shakespeare's The tempest Stephano a butler in Shakespeare's The tempest, or the servant to Portia in Julius Caesar Caliban a savage, deformed slave of Prospero in Shakespeare's The tempest Oberon the king of the fairies in Shakespeare's A midsummer night's dream DOTitania the queen of the fairiesNOT in Shakespeare's A midsummer night's dream PRINT Umbriel a gnome in Alexander Pope's The rape of the lock Ariel the airy spirit in Shakespeare's The tempest or Pope's The rape of the lock Miranda the daughter of Prospero in Shakespeare's The tempest Puck a mischievous fairy in Shakespeare's A midsummer night's dream Belinda the heroine whose hair was stolen in Pope's The rape of the lock Rosalind the daughter of the banished duke in Shakespeare's As you like it Portia the wife of Brutus and rich heiress in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar Juliet the daughter Capulet and tragic heroine in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Desdemona the wife of Othello in Shakespeare's Othello Cressida the lover of Troilus in Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida Bianca the mistress of Cassio in Shakespeare's Othello Ophelia the daughter of Polonius in Shakespeare's Hamlet Cordelia Lear's youngest daughter in Shakespeare's King Lear SATURN Phoebe the mother of Leto and grandmother of Apollo and Artemis Iapetus the father of Atlas, Prometheus, and Epimetheus Hyperion the son of Heaven and Earth, father of Sun, Moon, and Dawn Titan one of the twelve offspring of Heaven and Earth, six male and six female Rhea the daughter of Heaven and Earth, wife of Kronos, and mother of the gods Dione a nymph and consort of Zeus, in some myths the mother of Aphrodite Helene a trusted friend of Aphrodite who helped her seduce Adonis Tethys the daughter of Heaven and Earth, wife of Oceanus, mother of the nymphs Telesto the saffron-clad nymph, daughter of Oceanus and Tethys Calypso the sea nymph who trapped Odysseus on the island of Ogygia for seven years Enceladus one of the Titan giants who fought against the Olympians and was killed by Zeus Mimas a centaur with black hair that was slain by Hercules Janus the god of gates and doors, represented with a double-faced head Epimetheus the son of Iapetus and husband of Pandora, Greek for "hindsight" Pandora the first woman, created in revenge for Prometheus' theft of fire from Olympus Prometheus the son of Iapetus, who stole fire from Olympus, Greek for "foresight" Atlas the son of Iapetus, condemned to support the sky on his shoulders Pan the deity of woods, fields, and flocks, half-goat and half-human, a son of Hermes JUPITER Sinope the granddaughter of Oceanus who was unsuccessfully courted by Zeus Pasiphae the daughter of Helios, who fell in love with Zeus and bare the Minotaur Carme a Cretan goddess and lover of Zeus, the mother of Britomartis Ananke the goddess of unalterable necessity, and the mother of Adrastea Elara a lover of Zeus, who hid her beneath the earth as she bare the giant Tityus Lysithea a nymph, daughter of Oceanus, and consort of Zeus Himalia a Cyprian nymph who bore three sons to Zeus Leda a queen of Sparta and beloved of Zeus, who visited her in the form of a swan Callisto the nymph attendant of Artemis, who was placed in the heavens as Ursa Major Ganymede a Trojan prince, brought by Zeus to Olympus to be the cup-bearer to the gods Europa a lover of Zeus, who swam to Crete and became the mother

Analyses of Cassini imaging data with this model reveals that the moons Aegaeon, Methone and Pallene are darker than one would expect given trends previously observed among the nearby mid-sized satellites. On the other hand, the trojan moons Calypso and Helene have substantially brighter surfaces than their co-orbital companions Tethys and Dione. These observations are inconsistent with the moons' surface brightnesses being entirely controlled by the local flux of E-ring par- ticles, and therefore strongly imply that other phenomena are affecting their surface properties. The darkness of Aegaeon, Methone and Pallene is correlated with the fluxes of high-energy protons, implying that high-energy radiation is responsible for darkening these small moons. Meanwhile, Prometheus and Pandora appear to be brightened by their interactions with nearby dusty F ring, implying that enhanced dust fluxes are most likely responsible for Calypso's and Helene's excess brightness.

  • A Wunda-Full World? Carbon Dioxide Ice Deposits on Umbriel and Other Uranian Moons
    Icarus 290 (2017) 1–13 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Icarus journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/icarus A Wunda-full world? Carbon dioxide ice deposits on Umbriel and other Uranian moons ∗ Michael M. Sori , Jonathan Bapst, Ali M. Bramson, Shane Byrne, Margaret E.

One such satellite, Umbriel, has a prominent Revised 28 January 2017 high albedo annulus-shaped feature within the 131-km-diameter impact crater Wunda. We hypothesize Accepted 28 February 2017 that this feature is a solid deposit of CO ice. We combine thermal and ballistic transport modeling to Available online 2 March 2017 2 study the evolution of CO 2 molecules on the surface of Umbriel, a high-obliquity ( ∼98 °) body. Consid- ering processes such as sublimation and Jeans escape, we find that CO 2 ice migrates to low latitudes on geologically short (100s–1000 s of years) timescales. Crater morphology and location create a local cold trap inside Wunda, and the slopes of crater walls and a central peak explain the deposit’s annular shape. The high albedo and thermal inertia of CO 2 ice relative to regolith allows deposits 15-m-thick or greater to be stable over the age of the solar system.

  • “Savage and Deformed”: Stigma As Drama in the Tempest Jeffrey R
    “Savage and Deformed”: Stigma as Drama in The Tempest Jeffrey R. Wilson The dramatis personae of The Tempest casts Caliban as “asavageand deformed slave.”1 Since the mid-twentieth century, critics have scrutinized Caliban’s status as a “slave,” developing a riveting post-colonial reading of the play, but I want to address the pairing of “savage and deformed.”2 If not Shakespeare’s own mixture of moral and corporeal abominations, “savage and deformed” is the first editorial comment on Caliban, the “and” here Stigmatized as such, Caliban’s body never comes to us .”ס“ working as an uninterpreted. It is always already laden with meaning. But what, if we try to strip away meaning from fact, does Caliban actually look like? The ambiguous and therefore amorphous nature of Caliban’s deformity has been a perennial problem in both dramaturgical and critical studies of The Tempest at least since George Steevens’s edition of the play (1793), acutely since Alden and Virginia Vaughan’s Shakespeare’s Caliban: A Cultural His- tory (1993), and enduringly in recent readings by Paul Franssen, Julia Lup- ton, and Mark Burnett.3 Of all the “deformed” images that actors, artists, and critics have assigned to Caliban, four stand out as the most popular: the devil, the monster, the humanoid, and the racial other. First, thanks to Prospero’s yarn of a “demi-devil” (5.1.272) or a “born devil” (4.1.188) that was “got by the devil himself” (1.2.319), early critics like John Dryden and Joseph War- ton envisioned a demonic Caliban.4 In a second set of images, the reverbera- tions of “monster” in The Tempest have led writers and artists to envision Caliban as one of three prodigies: an earth creature, a fish-like thing, or an animal-headed man.

The members of the Gaspra 34 WGPSN and its task groups have worked since the Ida 25 early 1970s to provide a clear, unambiguous sys- Itokawa 17 tem of planetary nomenclature that represents cul- Lutetia 37 tures and countries from all regions of Earth. Mathilde 23 WGPSN members include Rita Schulz (chair) and Steins 24 9 other members representing countries around the Vesta 106 globe (see author list). In 2013, Blue et al. [1] pre- Jupiter sented an overview of planetary nomenclature, and Amalthea 4 in 2016 Hayward et al. [2] provided an update to Thebe 1 this overview. Given the extensive planetary ex- Io 224 ploration and research that has taken place since Europa 111 2013, it is time to update the community on the sta- Ganymede 195 tus of planetary nomenclature, the purpose and Callisto 153 rules, the process for submitting name requests, and the IAU approval process.

  • When the Net Force That Acts on a Hockey Puck Is 10 N, the Puck
    Chapter 5 Circular Motion, the Planets, and Gravity Uniform Circular Motion Uniform circular motion is the. motion of an object traveling at a constant (uniform) speed in a circular path. • Because velocity is a vector, with a magnitude and direction, an object that is turning at a constant speed has a change in velocity. The object is accelerating. – If the object was not accelerating, it would be traveling at a constant speed in a straight line. – We will determine the magnitude and direction of the acceleration for an object moving at a constant speed in a circle Direction of Acceleration for Uniform Circular Motion. v Define an axis that is always tangential to the velocity (t), and an axis that is always perpendicular to that, radial (r), or centripetal (c). What would an acceleration in the tangential direction do? It must change the speed of the object. But for uniform circular motion, the speed doesn’t change, so the acceleration can not be tangential and must be radial. Consider a object that is twirled on a v1 string in a circle at a constant speed in a clockwise direction, as shown. Let’s P1 find the direction of the average P2 acceleration between points P1 and P2? v2 – v1 = Dv v1 + Dv = v2 v2 v This direction of Δv is the direction 1 of the acceleration. It is directly toward the center of the circle at the v2 Dv point midway between P1 and P2. The direction of acceleration is toward the center of the circle. It is called centripetal (center-seeking) acceleration.

  • 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.

  • 10 Ecce Parentes
    “Ch 10” YON-II/ Ramos 1 10 ECCE PARENTES Walking on water was an angel. He was Uriel, the Archangel of Wisdom, one of Earth’s overseers and a liaison between Heaven and Earth. He was tall, imposing, and two ranks above Setebos in the Watcher chain of command. Thanks to having been Miranda’s protégé once upon a time, Cora knew who Uriel was, and none of those things she gave a damn. From the shoreline of the inner cave, she stood her ground. “Did you come here,” she said, “just to say that?” “Cora --” Setebos began, anxiously. “No,” Uriel said, “although I was surprised by your – er – present condition, young woman. Perhaps I spoke out of turn.” “PERHAPS?” “Cora, please --” “Setebos,” Uriel said. “Sir?” The archangel shook his head. “I think we’re beyond formalities now, Setebos. I came here to bring a message to you, a fallen Watcher who cared enough about good and evil to put yourself in solitary. However, I see that you still have that Celestial Engineer temptation to ‘fix’ humans and thus create unnecessary complications for yourself --” Uriel nodded towards Cora, “-- and others.” Cora clenched her jaw but remained silent. “I failed,” Setebos said. “That’s why you’re here, right? Despite my precautions, I meddled with the affairs of humans again…” He trailed off. “You came to tell me that the Reboot will happen.” “Yes,” Uriel confirmed. “However, the Reboot isn’t because of you. As this young woman can attest, Earth has become too corrupted to remain as is. It needs a clean slate to restart anew.” “But what about her and --” “I need to walk,” Cora announced, angry that they were talking about her in the third person, as if she weren’t there.

    Digitale Bibliothek Braunschweig Dionysos von Homer bis heute. Eine Skizze Maurach, Gregor Veröffentlicht in: Abhandlungen der Braunschweigischen Wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft Band 44, 1993, S.131-186 Verlag Erich Goltze KG, Göttingen http://www.digibib.tu-bs.de/?docid=00053323 Digitale Bibliothek Braunschweig Dionysos von Homer bis heute. Eine Skizze Von Gregor Maurach*, Münster (Eingegangen am 13.02., in veränderter Form am 16. 10. 1993) Claudiae gratias referens, nam quid sine te? Einleitung § 1 Ausa) einer bloßen Liste von Dionysos-Darstellungen in der Kunst oder von Bac­ chus-Vorkommen in der Literatur wäre nichts zu lernen. Möglichst viele solcher Darstel­ lungen und Vorkommen sollen hier zwar genannt werden (obschon dem Verfasser auch nicht annähernd alle bekannt wurden), wichtiger war aber ein Leitgedanke, der sowohl etwas vom Wesen des Gottes selbst spüren ließ als auch von der Eigenart derer, die ihn dargestellt oder in ihren Werken haben vorkommen lassen, und dieser Leitgedanke war etwa dieser: § 2 Renaissance, Wiedergeburt der Antike - sie geschah mehrfachI), im neunten, im zwölften und besonders erregend im 15. Jahrhundert; aber immer, wenn sie geschah, da­ mals und späterhin wieder im 17. und 19. Jahrhundert, mußten ihre Wiedererwecker die Antike auch aushalten können. Damit ist gemeint, daß z. B. Göttergestalten in der Antike bei aller Menschenähnlichkeit nicht nur immer eine gewaltige Macht behielten, denen die späteren Darstellungen zu entsprechen hatten, sondern daß in ihnen eine Spannung von Gegensätzlichem (Henrichs, Loss 235 ff.; Versne1133) herrschte, welche die Späte• ren nur allzu leicht durch Vereinseitigung oder dadurch ins Harmlose abgleiten ließen, daß sie z. B. die Göttinnen lieblich, die Götter verliebt darstellten und so mit der Wen­ dung ins Intime die uralte Spannung von Furchtbarkeit und Huld aus den Augen verlo­ ren.
