Exploring the ways in which the classical past has been mapped over the centuries allows us to trace the avowal and disavowal of values and identities, old and new. Classical Presences brings the latest scholarship to bear on the contexts, theory, and practice of such use, and abuse, of the classical past.

OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 01/12/2018, SPi Preface This resource is intended to be used in conjunction with the Oxford University Press publication Newly Recovered English Classical Translations, 1600–1800 (2018), to which this online Annexe may be thought of as an overspill. The primary publication will be available online as well as in print, via the subscription database Oxford Scholarly Editions Online. Thus all the texts in the entire edition (NRECT for short) will, in principle, be viewable and searchable online. What are these texts? They form a collection of English translations from classical verse and drama which were not printed in their own time and have not been retrieved from manuscript copies since. In other words, they are entirely unknown to the scholarly world. They make up a very miscellaneous collection, but since this is a selective and not a comprehensive compilation, there has been no attempt to absorb every extant schoolboy exercise, and the average quality of the English verse is high. Many even of these Annexe items would hold their ground against the printed transla- tions of their day, and the historical interest of others often makes up for lack of polish. In all cases, a new piece of evidence emerges about how, why, and to whom ancient verse appealed in this era—and many of these translators left no other record of their engagement with it. In terms of lines of verse, this Annexe is, on its first release in 2018, about half the size of the primary print edition, but it contains far less than half as many items. This is because it is primarily a home for longer items which could not be accommodated in full, or in some cases at all, in the print edition. Here in the Annexe, each item is pro- vided with a brief headnote, but fuller information is in all cases found in the print edition, which includes a general introduction, individual introductory discussions of each translated author and genre, notes on all manuscripts used, full references for all secondary sources cited (arranged by chapter), and indexes. This is also where information can be found as to the principles on which the texts have been edited and presented. Cross-references are often given to individual texts in either part. The nine author and genre codes (e.g. OV=Ovid) are the same across both parts. References with a leading ‘X’ (such as ‘XOV3’) refer to items in the Annexe, whereas those with no leading ‘X’ (such as ‘OV3’) refer to items in the primary edition.

Book description. Main article: Iliad. Enraged and humiliated, Ajax is driven mad by Athena. By signing up, you agree to our Privacy Notice. Relatively little is given of Odysseus' background other than that according to Pseudo-Apollodorus, his paternal grandfather or step- grandfather is Arcesius , son of Cephalus and grandson of Aeolus , while his maternal grandfather is the thief Autolycus , son of Hermes [16] and Chione. It gives the chronology of Ulysses' voyage, and is illustrated with photographs and maps. That the object of his quest has not been alive for at least three thousand years matters less than that the Mediterranean is today much as it was in that long ago period: the storms still rage in winter, the Levanter still blows from the east for days at a time, and the islands and harbors are still more or less where the legendary mariner would have found them. There are no discussion topics on this book yet. After travelling west and south for five months, they see in the distance a great mountain rising from the sea this is Purgatory , in Dante's cosmology before a storm sinks them. Is it really possible for anyone to become lost in the bathtub of the Mediterranean for 20 years? However, the Coens have stated that they had never read the epic.

BARBER OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1921 PREFACE When Mr. Evelyn Abbott wrote with truth in his glowing preface to Hellenica (1879), 'We have not done with the Hellenes yet . ; we have not entered into full possession of the inheritance bequeathed to us', he had in his mind, as he goes on to show, the significance of Greek history and literature, rather than additions to our knowledge due to the discovery of new texts.

    This Companion to Victorian Poetry provides an up-to-date introduction to many of the pressing issues that absorbed the attention of poets from the 1830s to the 1890s. It introduces readers to a range of topics - including historicism, patriotism, prosody, and religious belief. The thirteen specially- commissioned chapters offer fresh insights into the works of well-known figures such as Matthew Arnold, Robert Browning, and Alfred Tennyson and the writings of women poets - like Michael Field, Amy Levy, and Augusta Webster - whose contribution to Victorian culture has only recently been acknowledged by modern scholars. Revealing the breadth of the Victorians' experiments with poetic form, this Companion also discloses the extent to which their writings addressed the prominent intellectual and social questions of the day. The volume, which will be of interest to scholars and students alike, features a detailed chronology of the Victorian period and a compre- hensive guide to further reading.

    Since I Began Reading the Work of Steve Ditko I Wanted to Have a Checklist So I Could Catalogue the Books I Had Read but Most Im

    Since I began reading the work of Steve Ditko I wanted to have a checklist so I could catalogue the books I had read but most importantly see what other original works by the illustrator I can find and enjoy. With the help of Brian Franczak’s vast Steve Ditko compendium, Ditko-fever.com, I compiled the following check-list that could be shared, printed, built-on and probably corrected so that the fan’s, whom his work means the most, can have a simple quick reference where they can quickly build their reading list and knowledge of the artist. It has deliberately been simplified with no cover art and information to the contents of the issue. It was my intension with this check-list to be used in accompaniment with ditko-fever.com so more information on each publication can be sought when needed or if you get curious! The checklist only contains the issues where original art is first seen and printed. No reprints, no messing about. All issues in the check-list are original and contain original Steve Ditko illustrations! Although Steve Ditko did many interviews and responded in letters to many fanzines these were not included because the checklist is on the art (or illustration) of Steve Ditko not his responses to it. I hope you get some use out of this check-list! If you think I have missed anything out, made an error, or should consider adding something visit then email me at ditkocultist.com One more thing… share this, and spread the art of Steve Ditko!

He is the god of sky and thunder in Greek mythology. Zeus is etymologically cognate with and, under Hellenic influence, became particularly closely identified with Roman Jupiter. Zeus is the child of Cronus and Rhea, and the youngest of his siblings. In most traditions he is married to Hera, although, at the oracle of Dodona, his consort is Dione: according to the Iliad, he is the father of Aphrodite by Dione.[5] He is known for his erotic escapades.

Ruth Department of History, United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, md 21402, usa [email protected] Abstract The introduction of night vision technology during the Vietnam War transformed how u.s. military men and their communist enemies fought at night. The starlight scope’s seemingly miraculous light-amplifying powers made hitherto unseen targets easier to see. And as sole possessor of this new technology, American soldiers had a profound tactical advantage operating at night. But they also paid a price for this new edge. Bur- dened by the scope’s weight, untested technology, and extreme secrecy, these service- men suffered. They endured physical, psychological, and emotional stress unforeseen by the military leaders who pushed for the scope’s development during the Cold War. The new rifle-mounted scope figuratively transformed night into day, and, paradoxi- cally, made it harder for many American soldiers to pull the trigger. Keywords starlight scope – night-vision technology – Vietnam War – sniper – psychological effects In 1965, the United States military committed its first combat troops to South Vietnam. It sent along with that first wave of American soldiers and marines a new technological marvel that allowed its troops to see their guerrilla en- emy in the dark. The “starlight scope,” as it was soon christened, amplified ambient light, mostly from starlight, moonlight, and sky glow. Along with this heavy piece of machinery—one of the first models weighed more than forty pounds—the u.s.

Most of the children’s books, of an earlier date, can hardly be said to belong to literature.
