I can tell you that the editors are the cruise directors and the staffisyour happy crew on your seven day adventure to the isles of poetry, fiction, drama, and art. I can tell you that the Northridge Review and all its processes are like a clock and every gear and cog must turn in its proper place to function correctly. The fact of the matter is that the Northridge Review is solely comprised of people who love literature. The words and phrases of a good piece of fiction, as well as the rhyme scheme and line of a good poem draw them in. I'm sure that you might agree with our passion for literature. That is why you bougl�t this issue, no? What you hold in your hands is the product of many long days of dedication and plenty of long hours of painstaking work. The Layout and Design board worked diligently to create the layout of the book you hold in your hands. The determined Desktop Publishing crew worked long hours in front of a computer making sure every detail was up to par with what we, as a class, wanted the CSUN community to read. In the end, afterall of the experiences filled with chupacabras, moustaches, and endless inside jokes, J found that the Northridge Review is an outstanding process of teamwork and unity, all for a common goal. The common goal comes not with­ out the largest spectrum of emotions that a person can feel coming from a university level class. There are times of sheer bliss, accompanied with minor annoyances, and the ever foreboding feeling of dread. But in the end, we produce something to be proud oF, something that the reader can find to be as enthralling as we did. Our common goal is to make sure that you, the reader, bask in the pages ahead of you, and come to enjoy its contents time and time again. In my opinion, l think we've succeeded. fr--;p Robect Shuttlewocth Jc. Nevermore willllook at a book of any kind and only focus on the content. Composing this review allowed me to experience all sides of the process, from beginning with nothing to Ripping through a fully designed, complete book. And lmust say, every moment is a learning experience. Though challenging at times (okay, many, many, times), a dedication to creating something beautiful,unique, and thoroughly ours kept the process barreling along. Through the distractions, over the span of wide-ranging detours concerning everything from moustaches to prolonged discussions of the looming zombie apocalypse (which would arise, naturally, from CSUN's very own squirrels), and past the moments that leftmany of us puzzled, this NR staff managed to both design and fill the pages with engaging content that we are eager to share with our community. Now, we certainly would be left with nothing if so many talented writers, poets, and artists had not taken the time to send their work in to us, and lam ever grateful for all those who submitted the work they had slaved over for long hours just so we could, well, slave over them for long hours. Even with such great submissions, this magazine would be half of what it is without the help of a fantastic staff­ especially those who spent long hours staring at computer screens and noting minute details. This level of attention to styling pushes a book from practical to awe-inspiring. Immeasurable technicalities are included in the process of making, and J implore you: do not rush through the words on the pages, hurrying from one piece to the next, striving to achieve speed. Instead, take a moment to saunter down the page, exploring how each piece is set, enjoying the subtle delicacies. Despite the occasional moments of frustration, grief, and desperation, I look back on this experience, this amazing process, with the fondest memories. Stacey Legrand Now it's your turn to experience what we as group have worked for. Once you're ready, we invite you to take a deep breath and settle in. We hope you enjoy this book as much as we do. -I TheIns and Outs of a Death-DefyingTrick Sean Pessin • • • • • od - 1p'{o u orG - rtllt\\ £\i·l.(lbelh 1\ al ..... .... .... t Anim age tha C a James Medin • er ore to }-\ ther W M.y Mo on W hat Separati rdered • cm.trt-O Ncda Levi sis Diagno Clinical or1 a urning ted Mo of Arres Jeffrey C.1\l fu:r Economics pply- Side on in Su rminal A Less Bradley Te at the Tom jose Moral •s TABL .

  • The Greek Underworld
    The Greek Underworld The Greek Underworld There are several interpretations and descriptions of the Greek Underworld. The most important thing to remember is that with the Greek Underworld, like most Greek Myths, to the Underworld also differs according to context. Below are examples of the Underworld as told by specific people, as well as some excerpts of different aspects of the Greek Underworld that seem to be common among authors. Homer’s Underworld: A brief Overview Traveling to the Underworld : Step 1: Sail to the edge of the world, arriving on the beach of the ocean that encompasses existence. Step 2: Arrive at the spot where the two rivers of the Underworld, Pyriphlegethon (Fire) and Kokytos (Lamentation) converge into the River Acheron (Groaning). Step 3: Sacrifice a ram and a ewe. Collect the blood in a vessel to attract the souls of the dead, who upon drinking the blood will gain the ability to speak with living humans. Homer describes the Underworld in the story of Odysseus. When in the Underworld, Odysseus sees many examples of punishment, most of which are now told as common stories in mythology. Some examples include: Tityos having his liver pecked out by vultures, a punishment for raping the goddess Leto, or Sisyphos who pushes a boulder up a hill for eternity for trying to escape death. One thing that is important about these punishments, is that the crimes are explicitly crimes against the honor of the gods. Aristophanes’ Underworld: A brief Overview Aristophanes provides a look into the Underworld in his satirical farce, Frogs.

Published by Sri Aurobindo Ashram Pondicherry PRINTED IN INDIA Facsimile of a corrected proof of The Age of Kalidasa, re- vised in 1929 —pp. 220-221 Section One THE HARMONY OF VIRTUE 1890-92 “I read more than once Plato's Republic and Symposium, but only extracts from his other writings. It is true that under his impress I rashly started writing at the age of 18 an explanation of the cosmos on the foundation of the principle of Beauty and Harmony, but I never got beyond the first three or four chap- ters.“ From notes dictated by Sri Aurobindo The Harmony of Virtue Book One Keshav Ganesh [Desai] — Broome Wilson Keshav: My dear Broome, how opportune is your arrival! You will save me from the malady of work, it may be, from the dangerous opium of solitude. How is it I have not seen you for the last fortnight? Wilson: Surely, Keshav, you can understand the exigencies of the Tripos. Keshav: Ah, you are a happy man. You can do what you are told. But put off your academical aspirations until tomorrow and we will talk. The cigarettes are on the mantelpiece — ex- cuse my laziness! — and the lucifers are probably stocked in the fruit-shelf. And here is coffee and a choice between cake and biscuits. Are you perfectly happy? Wilson: In Elysium. But do not let the cigarettes run dry, the alliance of a warm fire and luxurious cushions will be too strong for my vigilance.

  • Travels in Elysium
    About Travels in Elysium ‘Then chalk it up to experience, Mr Pedrosa. Trust no one. Believe no one. Question everything. Remember, there is nothing here you can take at face value… No — not even yourself.’ It was the chance of a lifetime. A dream job in the southern Aegean. Apprentice to the great archaeologist Marcus Huxley, lifting a golden civilisation from the dead… Yet trading rural England for the scarred volcanic island of Santorini, 22‑year old Nicholas Pedrosa is about to blunder into an ancient mystery that will threaten his liberty, his life, even his most fundamental concepts of reality. An island that blew apart with the force of 100,000 atomic bombs… A civilisation prised out of the ash, its exquisite frescoes bearing a haunting resemblance to Plato’s lost island paradise, Atlantis… An archaeologist on a collision course with a brutal police state… A death that may have been murder… And a string of inexplicable events entwining past and present with bewildering intensity… Can this ancient conundrum be understood before it engulfs them all? ‘This extraordinary novel, part murder mystery, part metaphysical thriller, kept me guessing until the very last page. The intellectual duel between the troubled hero and his ruthless mentor is mesmerising. William Azuski’s treatment of the Atlantis legend is completely original and I have rarely read a novel with such a strong sense of place. The bizarre landscapes of Santorini and the daily lives of its people, both ancient and modern, are vividly evoked. Anyone who enjoys the work of Umberto Eco, Orhan Pamuk or Carlos Ruiz Zafón should try this book.’ — Geraldine Harris, author, Egyptologist, and a member of the Faculty of Oriental Studies at the University of Oxford.

  • Myth: Hades/ Underworld
    Myth: Hades/ Underworld The Underworld was hidden deep in the earth and was the kingdom of the dead, ruled by god Hades. Hades was a greedy god, whose sole purpose was to increase the number of souls in his kingdom; at the same time, he was very reluctant to let any soul leave. The Erinnyes were welcomed in the Underworld. For most souls, life in the underworld was not particularly unpleasant. It was rather like being in a miserable dream, full of shadows, ill-lit and desolate, barren of hope; a joyless place where the dead slowly faded into nothingness. Geographically, the Underworld was considered to have been surrounded by five rivers: the Acheron (river of woe), the Cocytus (river of lamentation), the Phlegethon (river of fire), the Styx (river of unbreakable oath by which the gods took vows), and the Lethe (river of forgetfulness). Past the rivers, a diamond gate, guarded by Cerberus, formed the entrance to the kingdom. Deep within the kingdom, lay Hades' vast palace, full with guests. Upon death, a soul was led by Hermes near the entrance of the underworld, where the ferry awaited to carry it across the Acheron. There was a single ferry run by Charon, the boatman who took the souls across the river. Only those who could pay the fare with coins placed on their lips when buried were granted passage; the rest were trapped between two worlds. After the boat ride, the souls entered through the gates; Cerberus allowed everyone to enter, but none to leave. The souls then appeared before a panel of three judges, Rhadamanthus, Minos, and Aeacus, who passed sentence based on their deeds during their previous life.

  • Commonlit | Welcome to the Underworld
    Name: Class: Welcome to the Underworld By Michael A. Signal 2018 In Greek mythology, the Underworld is where souls go after death. In this text, Hermes, messenger of the gods, gives readers a tour of the Underworld. As you read, take notes on the different things that can happen to a soul in the Underworld. [1] Hello and welcome! I’ll be your tour guide for the day. No reason to be scared — well, there is some reason to be scared. But don’t worry, for I will keep you safe. Your surroundings are, no doubt, frightful. As you look around, however, I am sure you will begin to understand. You see, you are no longer in the land of the living, a world commanded by Zeus. You are now in his brother’s kingdom. Ah, it’s becoming clear now. I can see the understanding beginning to dawn1 across your face. You have passed on to the land of souls: the realm2 of Hades.3 I am here to welcome you into this realm and to guide you through it. At the end "Fallen angels in Hell" by John Martin is in the public domain. of the tour, I will escort you back to the land of the living. Welcome... to the Underworld. Well, we’re not exactly in the Underworld, not yet. First, we have to cross this river, which acts as a boundary between the living and the dead. It is called the River Styx, and we can’t cross it alone. We have to wait here for the ferry.

  • Notes on Eschatological Patterns in a 12Th Century Anonymous Satirical Dialogue the Timarion1
    Eos CII 2015 ISSN 0012-7825 NOTES ON ESCHATOLOGICAL PATTERNS IN A 12TH CENTURY ANONYMOUS SATIRICAL DIALOGUE THE TIMARION1 by MICHAŁ BZINKOWSKI Katabasis, namely descending to the underworld, is one of the most mean- ingful mythological and literary motives of all times, widespread in Antiquity in numerous well-known stories2 – to mention here at least Sumerian Inanna’s visit- ing her sister Ereshkigal, the epic of Gilgamesh, the twelfth labour of Heracles, Orpheus’ journey to bring back his Eurydice or Aeneas’ descent in the sixth book of Vergil’s Aeneid. In medieval Western Europe it was reinterpreted in Dante’s Divine Comedy and was also popular in Byzantium3, although in a completely different context. An anonymous satirical work that was composed in the 12th cen- tury4, the Timarion (Τιμαρίων ή περὶ τῶν κατ’ αὐτὸν παθημάτων), belongs to 1 Some parts of the text have been delivered under the title: Beware of Mice in Hades! Ancient Greek Eschatological Beliefs in a Satirical 12th Century Anonymous Dialogue “Timarion” during the conference: “Μίμησις in Byzantine Art: Classical, Realistic or Imitative? The Second Cracow Symposium on Byzantine Art and Archaeology” organized by the Institute of History of Art and Culture of the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow, 5–7.9.2012. 2 Contrary to popular convictions, Homer’s Odysseus does not descend to the Underworld but invokes the souls out of Hades in a sort of a necromancy ritual and thus the passage from the eleventh book of the Odyssey cannot be regarded as a katabasis motif. 3 The most comprehensive studies regarding the katabasis motives in Byzantine medieval literature are still: an unpublished doctoral dissertation by laMBakis 1982 and Jane Baun’s extensive monograph (Baun 2007).
