To avoid confusion, the Greek word is given with the English in cases where a doubt might arise. The page of Stephens is divided into five parts by the letters A , B, C, D, E.

  • What Makes a Healthy Environment for Native Freshwater Mussels?
    USGS science for a changing world WHAT MAKES A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT FOR NATIVE FRESHWATER MUSSELS? What are freshwater mussels, and what makes them special? Freshwater mussels are mollusks-close relatives of clams, oysters, and saltwater mussels. Many species of freshwater mussels can live for 20 to 30 years, and individuals of some species live for more than 100 years. Freshwater mussels have been valued by humans throughout history. They can produce pearls, and their shells can be used to make buttons for clothing or to serve as seedstock for Figure 1 . Life cycle of freshwater mussels. After fertilization of eggs (lower right corner), glochidia, or larvae, are released. Those glochidia that successfully attach to fish hosts transform into the cultured pearl industry.

  • 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.

  • Amazons, Thracians, and Scythians , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 24:2 (1983:Summer) P.105
    SHAPIRO, H. A., Amazons, Thracians, and Scythians , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 24:2 (1983:Summer) p.105 Amazons, Thracians, and Scythians H A. Shapiro HE AMAZONS offer a remarkable example of the lacunose and T fragmented state of ancient evidence for many Greek myths. For while we hear virtually nothing about them in extant litera­ ture before the mid-fifth century, they are depicted in art starting in the late eighth! and are extremely popular, especially in Attica, from the first half of the sixth. Thus all we know about the Greeks' con­ ception of the Amazons in the archaic period comes from visual rep­ resentations, not from written sources, and it would be hazardous to assume that various 'facts' and details supplied by later writers were familiar to the sixth-century Greek. The problem of locating the Amazons is a good case in point. Most scholars assume that Herakles' battle with the Amazons, so popular on Attic vases, took place at the Amazon city Themiskyra in Asia Minor, on the river Thermodon near the Black Sea, where most ancient writers place it.2 But the earliest of these is Apollodoros (2.5.9), and, as I shall argue, alternate traditions locating the Ama­ zons elsewhere may have been known to the archaic vase-painter and viewer. An encounter with Amazons figures among the exploits of three important Greek heroes, and each story entered the Attic vase­ painters' repertoire at a different time in the course of the sixth century. First came Herakles' battle to obtain the girdle of Hippolyte (although the prize itself is never shown), his ninth labor.

  • The Legend of Atlantis
    The Legend of AtlanTis Mysterious World modified by Father Sergio 02.08.2009 PArT i: AtlanTis in hisTory Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are never anything but children, and there is not an old “O man among you." Thus began the speech by an unnamed Egyptian priest in the Timeaus1, one of only two known dialogues of Plato that mention Atlantis. Together, along with the Criteas2, these works comprise the only records of Atlantis handed down to us from antiquity. In his ensuing speech on Atlantis and ancient Athens, the priest was to rebuke Solon, and all of the Greeks, for having forgotten their own history, particularly the epic story of how valiant Athens had once defeated mighty Atlantis in ancient times and saved the world from slavery. Plato, the greatest of Greek philosophers, 427-347 BC In the Timeaus, Solon was to learn how little he truly knew, not only of the history of his own people, but of the history of Egypt, and of the world. Atlantis in Greek History Plato's Timaeus relates the true story of how one Solon (638- 559 BC), a famous "Athenian traveler, poet, and lawgiver"3 was visiting the Temple of Neithe, in the district of Sais, near the Nile Delta in lower Egypt. He had gone there as a cultural ambassador to converse with the leaders of the Egyptians about Greek history and culture, seeking to An Egyptian priest. impress them with the accomplishments of the Greeks, as well as to gain similar knowledge from them about the history of Egypt, and of the world.

  • The Amazons: Development and Functions1
    THE AMAZONS: 1 DEVELOPMENT AND FUNCTIONS ) The Un-society 0/ Amazons Amazons are a familiar sight in the Greek mythologicalland­ scape. Physiologically, they are female, but they have encroached on the social role of men: 'They were considered men because of their spirit (elJ'1j,.uxea) rather than women because of their physiolo­ gy (qJlJOL<;)' (Lysias 2.4). According to the popular story - rarely reflected in art - they 'pinched out' or cut off the right breast so as not to impede their javelin-throwing. But as Tzetzes observed, that would have killed them: the more rational- or rationalised ­ alternative, going back to Hippokrates and his sources, is that they cauterised it before it grew, with a special iron tooF). This then explains their name: the Breastless - unless it is because they do not eat barley-bread ÜUl1;a), but tortoises, lizards and snakes3), in which case they have wasted their time tampering with their breasts. In fact these are all popular etymologies and their name, of unknown origin, has determined their anatomy. 'Al!a1;6ve<; invoke a story just as 'AcpQOÖLL'Ij demands to be 'born from foam' (Hes. Theog. 195-8). Defying the normal roles assigned to females by Greeks, Amazons go so far as to exclude males from their society. They are 'man-hating' (crtuyavoQe<; 'Aesch.' Prom. 724) and 'man-Iess' (a.vavöQoL Aesch. Supp!. 287). Yet without men at all, they are an un-society, an impossible society, which it is the job of ethno- 1) Earlier versions of this paper ("Uses of a Dead Amazon") were given to the Annual General Meeting of the Classical Association in Oxford (April 1992) and to the Institut für Alte Geschichte at the University of Munich Oune 1993).

  • CELESTIAL CHURCH of the COSMOS 1 the Purpose of This Chart Is to Approximate the Celestial Correlation Between the 7 Churches of Asia and the Pleiades in Taurus
    CELESTIAL CHURCH OF THE COSMOS 1 The purpose of this chart is to approximate the celestial correlation between the 7 Churches of Asia and the Pleiades in Taurus. The Zodiac or Mazzaroth will be plotted onto the Earth geographically to suggest that the Taurus-Orion constellations in the Heavenlies amazingly reflect the topographical configuration of Greece as Orion and Turkey as Taurus and its locality on Earth. The precise ancient locations to the 7 Churches of Asia correlate as the Hyades of Taurus. Amazingly, the Taurus Mountains thus correspond in relative distance as are the Pleiades in modern day Turkey to the Hyades of Taurus. The constellation Taurus with Pleiades mirrors its opposite geographic position with Pleiades as the 7 Churches adjacent the Taurus Mountains of Turkey. They are distanced apart in a similar pattern from the Taurus Mountains opposite their positions as are the Pleiades from the Head of Taurus. The 7 Churches of Asia from the book of Revelation are geographically in a 'V” shape like the horns of a Bull. This region is called the Hyades and is considered also a pyramid with the Church of Pergamum as the ‘capstone’. This was the ancient ‘Seat or Throne of Satan’. The Witness of the Stars The 12 constellations in the Heavens can be mapped out on Earth as they mirror their positions with key geographic latitudes and longitudes. Symbols and numbers play a significant role in all things spirituality as YHVH is the author of mathematics and design. Each Zodiac symbol has a meaning ascribed to the redemptive work of Christ.

  • Heracles in Greek Epic from Homer to Nonnus the Norwegian Institute At
    A Gluttonous Strongman and Irascible Stoic: Heracles in Greek Epic from Homer to Nonnus The Norwegian Institute at Athens, 01.11.2018 Introduction Heracles – ladies and gentlemen! – was the perhaps most prominent, most popular, and most prevalent figure in ancient mythology. He was present in as good as all aspects of ancient Greek (and Roman) culture, religion, literature, iconography, etc., but also in many facets of daily life. The focus of my lecture today will be on Heracles as a character in ancient Greek epic. We know from various sources that Heracles was used as an eponymous hero in numerous Greek epics from the Archaic Period onward. However, unfortunately, most of these Heracles epics do not survive (the only exception being the pseudo-Hesiodic Aspis). On the other hand, existing Greek epic from Homer to Nonnus is not concerned with the life and deeds of Heracles. However, these epics nonetheless all include references to Heracles, be it on a diegetic or on a metadiegetic level. In what follows, I will offer a selective tour de fource through existing Greek epic with a focus on the appearance and function of Heracles in the Homeric epics, in Apollonius of Rhodes’ Argonautica, and in Nonnus of Panopolis’ Dionysiaca. For reasons of limited time (and with a bleeding heart!) I will exclude Hesiod and Quintus of Smyrna. As a first step, I need to lay out some of my methodological premises, the main of which is narratological character analysis. The main tenet of narratological character analysis is the insight, as Mieke Bal puts it (see n.

They were highly renowned Greek scientists and philosophers, who had gathered to prepare a program for the festival to the goddess, Athene. A young scribe, known by the nickname, Plato (broad shoulders), eagerly recorded the details of their conversation. Later this young scribe’s obsession with gathering, saving and sharing knowledge would inspire him to found, The Academy; commonly referred to as the first modern university. During this conversation Critias, recited an ancient unfinished poem, which he had memorized when he was 10 years old. This poem was written by Solon, the wisest of the seven sages of Greece. This poem reveals the ancient history, culture, geography, politics; ...and the catastrophic destruction of these two ancient empires. ____________________________________________________________ The original dialogues may be downloaded from many sources on the internet including: Project Gutenburg; You may view or download; Critias and Timaeus. ____________________________________________________________ coyright:COSMIC VORTEX, 2005 1 The Horses of Neptune by Walter Crane, 1845-1915 The Extraordinary Inundation of Atlantis and Attica; a catastrophic flood of biblical proportions.

    Poseidonis Map of Atlantis according to William Scott-Elliott (The Story of Atlantis, Russian edition, 1910) Solon of Athens If the hypothesis (now so much doubted, and positively denied by some learned authors, who regard it as a joke of Plato's) is ever verified, then, perhaps, will the scientists believe that the description of the god-inhabited continent was not altogether a fable. And they may then perceive that Plato's guarded hints and his attributing the narrative to Solon and the Egyptian priests, were but a prudent way of imparting the fact to the world, and, by cleverly combining truth and fiction, so disconnecting himself from a story which the obligations imposed at initiation forbade him to divulge. –SD2:221 Mount Atlas, Bolivia 18th-century illustration of Mount Kailash, depicting the holy family: Shiva and Parvati, cradling Skanda with Ganesha by Shiva's side Athanasius Kircher's map of Atlantis, placing it in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, from Mundus Subterraneus 1669, published in Amsterdam.

  • Atlantis in the Amazon : Lost Technologies and the Secrets of the Crespi Treasure / Richard Wingate
    ATLANTIS IN THE AMAZO N “This is a long-overdue book by an authority on the Carlo Crespi collection and what it means to our understanding of the first travelers to the Americas, long before Columbus. Not only is the case made for Atlantis in the Amazon, but Wingate also shows how this collection sounds a clear warning that humanity’s destructive ways are drawing us ever nearer to the same annihilation that wiped out this once thriving and advanced culture. Sadly, Wingate makes the case for the high probability that we are to go the way of Atlantis by continuing to use nuclear energy.” ROBERT R. HIERONIMUS, PH.D., AUTHOR OF FOUNDING FATHERS, SECRET SOCIETIES AND HOST OF 21STCENTURYRADIO.COM “The controversial Crespi Collection is presented here by the man who personally examined its artifacts before they were confiscated by Ecuadoran authorities. Richard Wingate’s photographs and descriptions of beautifully made objects representing Assyrian or Babylonian figures document the arrival of Near Eastern culture-bearers in South America nearly three thousand years ago.” FRANK JOSEPH, AUTHOR OF ADVANCED CIVILIZATIONS OF PREHISTORIC AMERICA CONTENTS Cover Image Title Page Epigraph Introduction PART ONE Evidence of an Ancient Civilization Father Crespi’s Treasure Chapter 1 Bimini Boogie Chapter 2 Atlantis in the Bahamas Chapter 3 First Visit to Crespi’s Treasure Chapter 4 Man, Whence, How, and Whither Chapter 5 The Sting PHOTO INSERT Chapter 6 Farewell, My Friend Chapter 7 Dinner Conversation: A Boiled Fish Surprise PART TWO The Misuse of Ancient Science and Technology The Voluntary Stone Age Chapter 8 The Mysterious Disappearance of Percy Fawcett Chapter 9 Legends of Atlantis Chapter 10 The Panecillo Laser Chapter 11 The Powerful Wooden UFOs Chapter 12 The Mahabharata Chapter 13 Time and the Atomic Latte MERCURY-POWERED AIRCRAFT Chapter 14 The Doomsday Device Chapter 15 Rocket Attack FICTION Chapter 16 The Fimbul Winter DRAMATIZATION-SPECULATION FACT Conclusion Appendix One.
