Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another. And which of the gods was it that set them on to quarrel? It was the son of Jove and Leto; for he was angry with the king and sent a pestilence upon the host to plague the people, because the son of Atreus had dishonoured Chryses his priest. Now Chryses had come to the ships of the Achaeans to free his daughter, and had brought with him a great ransom: moreover he bore in his hand the sceptre of Apollo wreathed with a suppliant's wreath and he besought the Achaeans, but most of all the two sons of Atreus, who were their chiefs. "Sons of Atreus," he cried, "and all other Achaeans, may the gods who dwell in Olympus grant you to sack the city of Priam, and to reach your homes in safety; but free my daughter, and accept a ransom for her, in reverence to Apollo, son of Jove." On this the rest of the Achaeans with one voice were for respecting the priest and taking the ransom that he offered; but not so Agamemnon, who spoke fiercely to him and sent him roughly away.

Education; Social Studies IDENTIFIERS Site Visits ABSTRACT The Civil War was perhaps the greatest turning point in U.S. history. The dual themes of slavery and power deeply divided the growing nation during the first half of the 19th century. The mission of the Civil War Preservation Trust (CWPT) is to preserve the significant Civil War battlefields by protecting the land and educating the public about the vital roles those battlefields played in directing the course of the nation's history. This 2-week CWPT curriculum is designed for students in grades 5,8, and 11. For each grade level, there are six sections: (1) "Disunion"; (2) "War"; (3) "Soldier Life"; (4) "Preservation";(5) Battlefield Field Trips"; and (6)"The War at Home." These sections are vital in using battlefield land as outdoor classrooms. The curriculum contains ideas for the classroom as well as ideas for interdisciplinary activities.

  • JOHN FANTE ASK the DUST Introduced by CHARLES BUKOWSKI Arturo Bandini Is a Struggling Writer Lodging in a Seedy LA Hotel
    "This is an important and an intermittently beautiful novel. Rebel Inc, a stylish, gutsy and necessary imprint, is to be commended for getting a noteworthy and unfairly neglected novel back into attractive and unignorable print." THE HERALD "Bandini is a magnificent creation, and his rediscovery is not before time." TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT "A tough and beautifully realised tale ... affecting, powerful and poignant stuff. Fante was capable of expressing thought and experience with an honesty that was as intimate as it was evocative, and as magical as it was true." TIME OUT JOHN FANTE ASK THE DUST Introduced by CHARLES BUKOWSKI Arturo Bandini is a struggling writer lodging in a seedy LA hotel. While basking in the glory of having had a single short story published in a small magazine, he meets local waitress Camilla Lopez and they embark on a strange and strained love-hate relationship. Slowly, but inexorably, it descends into the realms of madness. Ask the Dust is one of the truly great, yet unsung, American novels of the twentieth century. A tough and unsentimental story with a soft and tender heart, it remains as fresh and affecting as the day it was written. ISBN 0-86241-987-5 £6.99 Design: Angus Hyland @ Pentagram Photography: Peter Ross.© 1998 A REBEL INC CLASSIC Rebel Inc Classics Born in Denver on 8 April 1909, John Fante migrated to Los Angeles in his early twenties. Classically out of place in a town built on celluloid dreams, Fante's literary fiction was full of torn grace and redemptive vengeance. Ask the Dust was his second novel in a life that spanned seventy- four years and which included numerous works of fiction and film sceenplays.
