This portion, which is now offered, completes the Greek section of the Collection. To it has been added a small Series of Roman Silver and Copper Coins and Medallions, which had been formed by Mr. Montagu. In the Greek portion of this Catalogue we have not that succession of rare and brilliant pieces, which were to be found in the first sale, yet there are not a few which are far above the average either for rarity or for preservation. Notably the following: 42, Tetradrachm of Agri- Tetradrachm of Messana Didrachm of gentum ; 55, ; 58, Naxos, by Prokles Decadrachm of ; N Drachm of ; ; 76, Syracuse 86, Agathocles of Stater of 105, Tetradrachm Chalcidice ; 115, Double Alexander the Great The rare Tetradrachm of the same ; 120, excessively king ; Stater of Drachm of Alexander of Pherae 167, Panticapaeum ; 181, ; of of 215, Tetradrachm Lacedsenion ; 217, M Antinoiis, struck at Mantineia M Stater with Tetradrachm ; 235, Frog, unpublished ; 382, of Stater of Soter Decadrachm of Tripolis ; 421, Ptolemy ; 427, Arsinoe II Tetradrachm of in the ; 448, Carthage.

In June next will be offered for sale the Series of English Copper Coins and Patterns, together with the Anglo-Gallic and Irish sections, and in the following November the dispersion of this Collection will be brought to an end by the sale of the reserved portion of the English Series.

No; this meant trouble. It was like the riot When sudden squalls lash peaceful waves to surges. Phineus was the reckless one to start it, That warfare, brandishing his spear of ash With sharp bronze point. “Look at me! Here I am,” He cried, “Avenger of my stolen bride! No wings will save you from me, and no god Turned into lying gold.”* He poised the spear, As Cepheus shouted: “Are you crazy, brother? What are you doing? Is this our gratitude, This our repayment for a maiden saved? If truth is what you want, it was not Perseus Who took her from you, but the Nereids Whose power is terrible, it was hornèd Ammon, It was that horrible monster from the ocean Who had to feed on my own flesh and blood, And that was when you really lost her, brother; 107 lines 20–47 She would have died—can your heart be so cruel To wish it so, to heal its grief by causing Grief in my heart? It was not enough, I take it, For you to see her bound and never help her, Never so much as lift a little finger, And you her uncle and her promised husband! So now you grieve that someone else did save her, You covet his reward, a prize so precious, It seems, you could not force yourself to take it From the rocks where it was bound.

Contact me at [email protected] 2 Champions of the Gods Map of the Ancient Greek World 3 Champions of the Gods Introduction This is my Iron Game Chef ‘06 Entry. It uses the ingredients Ancient, Committee and Emotion, and is designed to be run in four two–hour sessions with between three and five participants. There is no Gamesmaster. I am no authority on Ancient Greece and its myths, so please indulge me any inaccuracies that I may have presented here. Background The Ancient Greek World, during the Age of Gods and Men: Zeus, father of all the Gods has decided that he wants a new religious festival for the Mortals to honour him. He has declared that it will be known as the “Olympics” and shall be held in the most worthy city–state in all of the Greek World — anywhere from Iberia to the Black Sea. But there are more city–states than Zeus can be bothered to remember, so to discover which is most worthy, he has chosen a number of his Godly offspring to do it for him. They will be known as the “Mount Olympus Committee”, and will report back in four mortal years, or Zeus shall rip all of Creation asunder.

  • Wonder, Space, and Place in Pausanias' Periegesis
    Axion Theas: Wonder, Space, and Place in Pausanias’ Periegesis Hellados by Jody Ellyn Cundy A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics University of Toronto © Copyright by Jody Ellyn Cundy 2016 Axion Theas: Wonder, Space, and Place in Pausanias’ Periegesis Hellados Jody Ellyn Cundy Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics University of Toronto 2016 Abstract The Periegesis Hellados presents a description of the sites and sights of Roman Greece in ten carefully constructed books. These books present the fruits of author’s extensive travels and careful textual research over the course of several decades (between the 130’s and ca. AD 175-80) and compiled into a unified composite itinerary. There is no doubt that Pausanias travels through an “already written landscape,” and his travel experience is necessarily informed by and sometimes clearly motivated by his literary encounters. This project investigates Pausanias’ engagement with literary antecedents, with a particular focus on the antiquarian impulse to excerpt and compile anecdotes in thematic catalogues, which broadly resemble wonder-texts (paradoxographies). The organizing principle of these thematic catalogues contrasts with the topographical (spatial) structure of the frame narrative of the Periegesis. In part, this study aims to resolve the perceived tension between the travel account and the antiquarian mode in Pausanias’ project in order to show that they serve complementary rather than competing ends. Resolution of these competing paradigms allows in turn for a more coherent understanding of the Periegesis as unified subject. This study argues that wonder (thauma) is a unifying theme ii of Periegesis Hellados.

DISCOVERY AT THE l\IOSQUE EL AKS.A, JERUSALEM.-llo A DISCOVERY of considerable interest has been made in this :Mosque by the Rev. J. Neil, who has only recently gone to Jerusalem for the Society for the Conversion of the Jews. "In the Mosque of El Aksa," he writes, "you will remember that there is a long plain room opening out at the south-east angle, called the Mosque of Omar, in which the only object of interest whatever is a recess supported by two twisted pillars, and called the Mihrab, or Praying-place of Omar. You may, perhaps, remember that the pillars on each side of this recess, of Solomonic twisted pattern and polished marble, appear to have been turned upside down, and to have their capitals of greyish stone in broken leaf-like patterns below. On vi~iting this the day before yesterday, July 5th, I discovered that a great part of the yellowish plaster had been removed from the top of these pillars, and that rich grotesquely carved capitals were exposed to view in an admirable state of preserva­ tion.
