Come along for the ride! The first part of the paper discusses how animals have been perceived in scholarly debates in philosophy, archaeology and human-animal studies. Perhaps the most startling examples of this practice are the more than 7, life-sized terracotta warriors and horses made to accompany the First Emperor of Qin to his grave in about B. The handles and the capped posts on the rims may have been used to lift the vessels from the fire. In Volume 2, we are given his version of Achilles and Patroklus' love Age of Bronze: Sacrifice v. 2, and it is not exciting or particularly believable. The Bronze Age was the time when men learned how to mine and smelt copper and tin to make bronze weapons and tools. To be more specific, those flaws are as follows: 1. A new vocabulary of wave and interlace patterns based on serpentine shapes evolves Age of Bronze: Sacrifice v. 2 the Eastern Zhou era, and these, along with purely geometric patterns, cover the vessels in overall designs. In choosing to be "historical", Shanower excludes the gods.

In the exhibition between the Shang and Zhou galleries there is a step-by-step display of the section-mold technique of casting. Both these commodities came from the south and were not popular in the rest of China until hundreds of years later.

    5/14/2014 Trojan War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Trojan War From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For the 1997 film, see Trojan War (film). In Greek mythology, the Trojan War was waged against the city of Troy by the Achaeans (Greeks) after Paris of Troy took Helen Trojan War from her husband Menelaus king of Sparta. The war is one of the most important events in Greek mythology and has been narrated through many works of Greek literature, most notably through Homer's Iliad. The Iliad relates a part of the last year of the siege of Troy; its sequel, the Odyssey describes Odysseus's journey home. Other parts of the war are described in a cycle of epic poems, which have survived through fragments. Episodes from the war provided material for Greek tragedy and other works of Greek literature, and for Roman poets including Virgil and Ovid. The war originated from a quarrel between the goddesses Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite, after Eris, the goddess of strife and discord, gave them a golden apple, sometimes known as the Apple of Discord, marked "for the fairest". Zeus sent the goddesses to Paris, who judged that Aphrodite, as the "fairest", should receive the apple. In exchange, Aphrodite made Helen, the most beautiful Achilles tending the wounded Patroclus of all women and wife of Menelaus, fall in love with Paris, who (Attic red-figure kylix, c. 500 BC) took her to Troy. Agamemnon, king of Mycenae and the brother of Helen's husband Menelaus, led an expedition of Achaean The war troops to Troy and besieged the city for ten years because of Paris' Setting: Troy (modern Hisarlik, Turkey) insult.

During the late Neolithic of Aegean (ca. 5500-4500 BC) pins of copper turn up at Dikili Tash, Paradeissos, and Kitsos Cave, while two small daggers have been recovered from Aya Marina in Phocis. It was only during the following, Final Neolithic period (ca. 4500-3700 BC) however that Aegean metallurgy began to flourish. Copper, Gold, silver and lead artifacts have been recovered at least twelve different sites of this period, including large assemblages of metal finds at sites such as Zas Cave on Naxos and copper daggers from Dimini and Sesklo. The early swords of the Aegean Bronze Age are some of the most striking artefacts from this epoch in terms of craftsmanship and opulence. Their perceived role has at various times ranged from their being ritual objects, to being restricted in terms of modes and environments of use, to their being perfectly serviceable tools of war. The early swords evolving out of the dagger. Before bronze, stone was used as primary material for cutting edged tools and weapons. Stone is however very fragile, and therefore not practical to be used as swords. With the introduction of copper, and eventually bronze the daggers could be made longer, and evolved into swords. The earliest Aegean/Anatolian swords were found at Arslantepe, Turkey, dating to ca.

    The Greek Age of Bronze - Ships http://www.salimbeti.com/micenei/ships.htm Home Armour Weapons Shields Helmets Chariots/Ships Troy / Sea people The Greek Age of Bronze Ships The Aegean has since prehistoric times been a sea that has united rather than separated the large or small islands. Between these islands, there were narrow sea passages and shallow gulfs, accessible by some primitive sailing means. Navigation in the Aegean, has been testified by the tools made of Melian obsidian which were found in Franchthi Cave in Hermionid (at the eastern coast of the Peloponnese, a distance of 80 nautical miles (approximately 150 kilometers) from Melos. Tools made of Melian obsidian also found on Crete (Knossos) and on Cyprus, substantiate the existence of sea routes in the Aegean from the Early till the Final Neolithic (6800-3200 BC). They made a boat exclusively from papyrus, an aquatic plant which can be found near water areas of Greece ( as well as on the river Nile in Egypt). A similar boat was used until recently in Kerkyra. The "papyrela" could easily travel from Lavrion to Milos. Its crew would use kayak oars for navigation. It has also been proven that men in the Greek prehistoric period could travel by sea using natural material offered by the domestic world of Greece and also using simple techniques such as the one of straw mats. This clay model from Palaikastro Crete dated around 3000 BC is one of the earliest representation of Aegean ship. In this model the hull terminates at one in a lofty vertical or nearly vertical post, while the other, with no upright fixture at all, trails of into horizontal extension at the waterline.

  • THE AGE of BRONZE Edited by Peter Cochran
    THE AGE OF BRONZE edited by Peter Cochran Byron is unsure of his audience here (as opposed to being indifferent about his audience, as he is in Don Juan ). He is not able to write in couplets with the point, wit, conversational tone, and mesmeric way with allusions, that he shows in ottava rima. Either that, or, by the time he came to write The Age of Bronze and The Island , he’s decided that he doesn’t have to write as well, because he has a lower opinion of his audience now that he’s writing for publication by John Hunt. On January 10th 1823 he wrote to his publisher’s brother, Leigh Hunt: I have sent to Mrs. S[helley] for the benefit of being copied – a poem of about seven hundred and fifty lines hight – the Age of Bronze – or Carmen Seculare et Annus mirabilis – with this epigraph – “Impar Congressus Achilli”.– it is calculated for the reading part of the Million – being all politics &c. &c. &c. and a review of the day in general – in my early English Bards style – but a little more stilted and somewhat too full of “epithets of war” and classical allusions[;] if notes are necessary they can be added. 1 “… in my early English Bards style” gives the game away; for that early poem is written, after the manner of William Gifford, in the de haut en bas style of Juvenal – as Byron’s quotations in its notes advertise. He seems nevertheless to expect from “the Million” a high level of sophistication: to know, for example, who “Henry, the Forest born Demosthenes,” is (Patrick Henry: line 384), “Dog the Great” (Can Grande della Scala: lines 416-7), or “Triptolemus” (Demeter’s seed-sower: line 578).

    IPHIGENIA AT AULIS: MYTH, PERFORMANCE, AND RECEPTION by George Adam Kovacs A thesis submitted in conformity of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics University of Toronto © Copyright by George Adam Kovacs 2010 Abstract Iphigenia at Aulis: Myth, Performance, and Reception George Kovacs Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics University of Toronto 2010 When Euripides wrote his final play, Iphigenia at Aulis, depicting the human sacrifice of Agamemnon’s first child that allowed the sailing of the Greek expedition against Troy, he was faced with several significant mythographic choices. Of primary concern was the outcome of the sacrifice: there existed a strong tradition in early sources that mitigated the sacrifice by effecting a divine rescue by Artemis, usually with a deer being left in her place on the altar. The extremely troubled textual history of our script – the play was first performed posthumously, and we do not know in what state Euripides left the text – means that we cannot be certain which tradition Euripides actually chose to follow, sacrifice or rescue. Depicting Iphigenia as a willing victim, however, must have been Euripides’ own innovation. This dissertation explores the ramifications of that self-sacrifice and contextualizes this play within a tradition of mythographic evolution and reception. Chapter 1 surveys the history of criticism of the text, itself a mode of reception, and also examines trends in Euripidean criticism in the modern period, limited until recently by the textual issues. Chapter 2 considers instances of the Iphigenia legend before Euripides’ play. The parodos of Agamemnon, the first source to express the sacrifice in terms of human suffering, receives special attention.
