CATHERINE DE’ MEDICI: THE CRAFTING OF AN EVIL LEGEND Lindsey Donohue Western Civilization February 18, 2020 1 When describing the legend of the evil Italian queen, Catherine de’ Medici, and why Medici has been historically misrepresented, being credited with such malediction and wickedness, N.M Sutherland states that she has been viewed as a, “. .monster of selfish ambition, who sacrificed her children, her adopted country, her principles - if she ever had any - , and all who stood in her way to the satisfaction of her all-consuming desire for power.”1 The legend of the wicked Italian queen held widespread attraction among many, especially after Medici’s death in 1589. The famous legend paints Medici inaccurately by disregarding her achievements as queen regent as well as her constant struggle to administer peace during a time of intense political turmoil and religious feuding, and it assumes that Medici was a victim of circumstance.

The Gupta Empire: an Indian Golden Age the Gupta Empire, Which Ruled
The Gupta Empire: An Indian Golden Age The Gupta Empire, which ruled the Indian subcontinent from 320 to 550 AD, ushered in a golden age of Indian civilization. It will forever be remembered as the period during which literature, science, and the arts flourished in India as never before. Beginnings of the Guptas Since the fall of the Mauryan Empire in the second century BC, India had remained divided. For 500 years, India was a patchwork of independent kingdoms. During the late third century, the powerful Gupta family gained control of the local kingship of Magadha (modern-day eastern India and Bengal). The Gupta Empire is generally held to have begun in 320 AD, when Chandragupta I (not to be confused with Chandragupta Maurya, who founded the Mauryan Empire), the third king of the dynasty, ascended the throne. He soon began conquering neighboring regions. His son, Samudragupta (often called Samudragupta the Great) founded a new capital city, Pataliputra, and began a conquest of the entire subcontinent. Samudragupta conquered most of India, though in the more distant regions he reinstalled local kings in exchange for their loyalty. Samudragupta was also a great patron of the arts. He was a poet and a musician, and he brought great writers, philosophers, and artists to his court. Unlike the Mauryan kings after Ashoka, who were Buddhists, Samudragupta was a devoted worshipper of the Hindu gods. Nonetheless, he did not reject Buddhism, but invited Buddhists to be part of his court and allowed the religion to spread in his realm. Chandragupta II and the Flourishing of Culture Samudragupta was briefly succeeded by his eldest son Ramagupta, whose reign was short.

CHAPTER XIII AGE of QUEEN ANNE Synopsis : Introduction
1 CHAPTER XIII AGE OF QUEEN ANNE Synopsis : Introduction - a period of great prosperity - the main cause for the prosperity - agricultural improvement - the social hierarchy - house building - decoration and furniture - educational system - marriage system - social vices of the time - sports and pastimes - means of transport - important industries - coffee house the centre of religious activities of the time -- the City of London and its administration - decline in the importance of the court. Queen Anne ruled England from 1702 to 1714. It was a golden age in the history of England because it was a period of great prosperity. Industry, agriculture and commerce all continued to prosper. Only during the last three years of her reign were there signs of distress and discontent, and that was chiefly due to the unavoidable war conditions in which the people had to live. This prosperity and content that prevailed all over the country was partly owing to good harvests and cheap food. English agriculture had improved so far that more wheat was grown than in medieval times. Wheat was the most important article of food. Rye, barley and oats came next in importance. In the reign of Anne there was a great exchange of agricultural products between one district and another. Thus the coasts of Sussex and Hampshire sent their corn. Cheshire and other western countries sent their cheese by sea to London. England's agricultural improvement during this regime was so much that she was able to send corn abroad on a large scale. Cattle. farming was also on its way of progress. The social hierarchy consisted of the Duke, the squire, the yeoman, the freeholder and the tenant.

Myth Made Fact Lesson 7: Perseus with Dr
Myth Made Fact Lesson 7: Perseus with Dr. Louis Markos Outline: The four greatest heroes of Greek mythology: Perseus Jason Theseus Hercules Setting Hesiod was a contemporary of Homer, late 8th century. Hesiod lived in Greece as a farmer. The four ages of man: o Golden Age: Live close to nature, close to the gods, and close to ourselves, a world before greed, before man cut open the earth for rare metals to kill each other o Silver Age: long youth that was happy, but they became violent and foolish and they were hidden under the earth o Bronze Age: men were warlike and fierce o Iron Age: this is the current age, far away from the Golden Age, we’ve lost a sense of shame and piety, we’ve lost our center and our balance o This concept is ubiquitous, that we are falling away. Hesiod adds a fifth age between the Bronze and Iron, and he calls it the age of heroes. There is almost a rebirth of the Golden Age with soldiers who fight for honor. This is when basically all of Greek mythology takes place (1500 BC – 1150 BC). o The Trojan War is the end of the Golden Age. o Every Greek tragedy takes place during that Golden Age, except a play about the Persian War, which is written as though the Persian war is taken place in a mythic Golden Age. Perseus Perseus is the son of Zeus. Acrisios heard a prophecy that Danae will give birth to a child who will kill him, so he locks Danae in a tower.

The Golden Age Sonnet: Metaphor and Metonymy, with a Difference
THE GOLDEN AGE SONNET: METAPHOR AND METONYMY, WITH A DIFFERENCE Edward H. Friedman Indiana University n studies of Spanish Golden Age poetry, it is customary, and quite valid, it would seem, to seek elements that distinguish the so-called Irenaissance sonnet from the so-called baroque sonnet. Within this pro cess, Garcilaso de la Vega and, to a far lesser extent, Juan Boscan, serve to exemplify the Renaissance, and Gongora, Lope de Vega and Quevedo, the Baroque, with Fernando de Herrera occupying a transitional, medi ating—and, for some, mannerist—middle space. On a microcosmic level, two carpe diem sonnets—Garcilaso's "En tanto que de rasa y azucena" and Gongora's "Mientras por compear con tu cabello"—demonstrate the difference between the two extremes. Garcilaso elicits a connection—and, significantly, an equilibrium—between the beauty of nature and the beauty of the love object. Gongora seems consciously to violate the con ventional carpe diem concluding allusion to old age, as well as the theo logical comfort of eternal life, by contrasting the resplendence of youth with physical death. He thus disrupts the balance of nature and the bal ance of the intertext to make a poetic statement: his love object is superior to the world around her, but she is no less subject to decay, to destruction. Garcilaso's sonnet contains a commentary on the paradoxical nature of change; nothing is constant but mutability, the poet informs us. Gongora, for his part, effects a paradoxical contrast between the supernatural— divine, one could be led to believe—beauty of the woman and the mun dane fate that awaits her.
