  • Joshua's Long Day Continued
    Joshua's Long Day continued Joshua 10:13b "So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day". This is a record of fact, an eye witness account - not alleged, not a metaphor, not an allegory, and not pretext, not a myth set to poetry and not a command to the deities of the sun and moon. This was not a localized event. There is only one sun and one moon seen from the whole earth. Purple Sun, and Crimson and Ruby Sun There may be a search for evidence of sun miracles in the daily coral layers. True wisdom costs us our all. The price of wisdom is not money. It is our will and beyond ruby like suns. The price of ancient coral is about $100,000 a kilo. Job 28:18 "No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies." Perhaps the sun appeared purple as a ruby as the Chinese recorded at the sun miracle in 141 BC when the sun may have been dimmed. "On the last day of the twelfth month (11 February 141 BC) it thundered. The sun appeared purple. Five planets moved in retrograde and guarded the constellation T'ai-wei. The moon passed through the center of the constellation T'ien-t'ing." The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.213. The moon was in the polar region of the sky. The sun must move 180° from Scorpius to Taurus. Thus, the sun would appear nearer the pole star and in the polar region.

  • Ancient Macedonians
    Ancient Macedonians This article is about the native inhabitants of the historical kingdom of Macedonia. For the modern ethnic Greek people from Macedonia, Greece, see Macedonians (Greeks). For other uses, see Ancient Macedonian (disambiguation) and Macedonian (disambiguation). From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ANCIENT MACEDONIANS ΜΑΚΕΔΌΝΕΣ Stag Hunt Mosaic, 4th century BC Languages. Ancient Macedonian, then Attic Greek, and later Koine Greek Religion. ancient Greek religion The Macedonians (Greek: Μακεδόνες, Makedónes) were an ancient tribe that lived on the alluvial plain around the rivers Haliacmonand lower Axios in the northeastern part of mainland Greece. Essentially an ancient Greek people,[1] they gradually expanded from their homeland along the Haliacmon valley on the northern edge of the Greek world, absorbing or driving out neighbouring non-Greek tribes, primarily Thracian and Illyrian.[2][3] They spoke Ancient Macedonian, a language closely related to Ancient Greek, perhaps a dialect, although the prestige language of the region was at first Attic and then Koine Greek.[4] Their religious beliefs mirrored those of other Greeks, following the main deities of the Greek pantheon, although the Macedonians continued Archaic burial practices that had ceased in other parts of Greece after the 6th century BC. Aside from the monarchy, the core of Macedonian society was its nobility. Similar to the aristocracy of neighboring Thessaly, their wealth was largely built on herding horses and cattle. Although composed of various clans, the kingdom of Macedonia, established around the 8th century BC, is mostly associated with the Argead dynasty and the tribe named after it. The dynasty was allegedly founded by Perdiccas I, descendant of the legendary Temenus of Argos, while the region of Macedon perhaps derived its name from Makedon, a figure of Greek mythology.

IX 1) Copyright 1907 By The Macmillan Company Set up and printed from the type Published, May, 1907 GRATEFULLY DEDICATED TO PROFESSOR RICHARD J. H. GOTTHEIL, Ph.D. TEACHER AND FRIEND 160781 NOTE The Mediterranean Sea is the natural meeting place of the various influences that have proceeded from three continents. The life of those cities that have taken a prominent part in developing the countries on its littoral must always be of interest to the student of history. Each city mirrors not only the general influences that were at work, but adds thereto its special quota of peculiar force. The role played by the Phoenicians, during the generations of their power and influence, as mediators be- tween conflicting interests gives to their history a certain attrac- tion. One of the chief centres of their power was the city of Sidon, and in the present volume of the Columbia University Oriental Series, Dr. F. C. Eiselen has studied the history of that city from the earliest times down to the present day. For this purpose he has gathered together the various references to be found regarding Sidon upon Assyrian and Egyptian monu- ments, in Hebrew literature, in the classical authors, in the records of pilgrims and in the historical works of Mohammedan writers. On account of the nature of the sources, his account of the life of the city must at times be disconnected.

  • Herodotean Ironies *
    Histos () – HERODOTEAN IRONIES * Abstract : ‘Irony/ironic’ are terms frequently used in discussion of Herodotus, whether applied to particular passages or to the text as a whole. This paper aims to distinguish di8erent types of irony which have been or can be detected in the text of the Histories, and to map these on a spectrum ranging from those which are clearly indicated by the narrator to those which demand more by way of interpretation and supplement from the reader. Types described and illustrated include dramatic, oracular, historical, cross- cultural and situational ironies; but the idea that the entire work is in some sense ironic is rejected. Irony as a tool of interpretation seems indispensable, but needs to be handled with circumspection and self-conscious care. The paper ends with some suggestions for further explorations of the topic. Endnotes provide further documentation, principally on ironies of the oracular type. Keywords : Herodotus, Irony, Oracle, Foreshadowing, Historiography, Reader-response ‘Is it irony, or has Herodotus lost his mind?’ (F. Jacoby) 1 ‘The irresistible impression of gentle irony which Herodotus leaves on every reader arises from numerous qualities of style of which only some are capable of analysis.’ (J. E. Powell) 2 ‘Such one-line judgements seem but a crude paraphrase of Herodotus’ nuanced irony.’ (T. Harrison) 3 hat Herodotus is an ironic writer is a proposition which would command widespread agreement. Consensus beyond that point Tmight be hard to achieve. The three quotations above point in di8erent directions. In the first, arising from the problem of the concluding * I am very grateful to Katherine Clarke, John Marincola and Tim Rood for comments and encouragement, and also to the helpful suggestions of the Histos referees.

  • 1 a Persian Marriage Feast in Macedon?
    A PERSIAN MARRIAGE FEAST IN MACEDON? (HERODOTUS 5.17-21) Herodotus’ fateful tale of the seven Persian emissaries sent to seek Earth and Water from the Macedonian king Amyntes has been the subject of increasingly rich discussion in recent years.1 Generations of commentators have cumulatively revealed the ironies of Herodotus’ account: its repeated hints, for example, of the Persians’ eventual end;2 and, crowning all other ironies, the story’s ending: that, after resisting the indignity of his female relatives being molested at a banquet, and disposing of all trace of the Persian ambassadors and their party, Alexander of Macedon then arranges his sister’s marriage to the leader of the search party sent to investigate his disappeared compatriots (Herodotus 5.21.2).3 More recent readings have gone further in 1 Most recently: D. Fearn, 'Herodotos 5.17–22. Narrating ambiguity: murder and Macedonian allegiance', in E. Irwin and E. Greenwood (edd.) Reading Herodotus: A Study of the logoi in Book 5 of Herodotus' Histories (Cambridge 2007), 98–127, S. Hornblower, Herodotus Histories V (Cambridge, 2013). 2 So, e.g., Alexander’s assurance to his father that he will give his guests all that they require (πάντα τὰ ἐπιτήδεα παρέξω τοῖσι ξείνοισι, 5.19.1, with R. W. Macan, Herodotus: The Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Books (London,1895) ad loc., Hornblower (n. 1), 113), or to the Persians that ‘the hour of sleep is approaching’ (σχεδὸν γὰρ ἤδη τῆς κοίτης ὥρη προσέρχεται ὑμῖν, 5.20.2, hinting at a longer sleep: Hornblower (n. 1) 114). 3 5.21.2, with e.g.

I would like to emphasize that history is a science that establishes historical truth through scientific methods... In this sense, history is not negotiable. The history of the ancient world has already been written and documented, over the cen- turies, through laborious scientific research by acclaimed international historians and archaeolo- gists.” Dora Bakoyannis, foreign minister of Greece (30.03.2009) 4 INTRO Today's Greek propaganda does everything it can to convince the world that ancient Macedonia was "Greek" and that the ancient Macedonians were "Greeks" as well. The reasons for this are merely political and well-known. It is of great importance to Greece to prove that the name Macedonia and the ancient Macedonians were "Greek", which means that today's Macedonians "have no historical right" to use these "Greek" names. However, despite these claims, relevant Greek sources say that the biggest opponents of today's Greek propaganda are exactly the works of the ancient Greek historians! A lot of these works contain indisputable claims that the ancient Macedonians were not only not "Greek" (Helens), but that they were, in a big part of their history, very unfriendly towards each other.

  • The Audiences of Herodotus
    THE AUDIENCES OF HERODOTUS THE INFLUENCE OF PERFORMANCE ON THE HISTORIES by IAN CODY OLIVER B.A., University of Texas at Austin, 2010 M.A., University of Colorado Boulder, 2012 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics 2017 This thesis entitled: The Audiences of Herodotus: The Influence of Performance on the Histories written by Ian Cody Oliver has been approved for the Department of Classics Peter Hunt, Committee Chair Jackie Elliott, Committee Member Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. Oliver, Ian Cody (Ph.D., Classics) The Audiences of Herodotus: The Influence of Performance on the Histories Thesis directed by Professor Peter Hunt Scholars have long recognized that Herodotus wrote his Histories when literature was often researched, composed, and circulated by oral rather than written means. Like his contemporaries, Herodotus gave oral demonstrations of his expertise (in Greek, epideixeis) in widely diverse settings across Greece. Most modern scholarship, however, treats Herodotus’ Histories as fundamentally unrelated to these performances, assuming instead that, in the Histories, Herodotus wrote for a single, broad, and Panhellenic readership. My dissertation argues that significant portions of the Histories in fact follow Herodotus’ earlier oral performances closely—sometimes so closely that the original audience and historical context can be identified. In my dissertation, I analyze three Herodotean battle narratives (Plataea, Salamis, and Thermopylae) where anomalies in composition appear to reflect these narratives’ origins as oral epideixeis with specific original performance dates.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine the cases of misrepresentation in Demosthenes’ deliberative speeches in so far as the existing evidence permits such an examination. The method of investigation was firstly to find references to the particular event described by Demosthenes in any other author, either contemporary with the event or of a later time, and then to compare these references with Demosthenes' information; secondly, to check the objectivity of our sources, and then to determine how and to what degree Demosthenes has misrepresented the facts. There follows a discussion on whether the misrepresentation was deliberate or unconscious, and on the reasons behind this deviation from the truth, considering Demosthenes' knowledge of the events, his aims, and his policy at the time he was addressing his fellow-citizens.
