  • Mythology Teachers' Guide
    Teachers’ Guide Mythology: The Gods, Heroes, and Monsters of Ancient Greece by Lady Hestia Evans • edited by Dugald A. Steer • illustrated by Nick Harris, Nicki Palin, and David Wyatt • decorative friezes by Helen Ward Age 8 and up • Grade 3 and up ISBN: 978-0-7636-3403-2 $19.99 ($25.00 CAN) ABOUT THE BOOK Mythology purports to be an early nineteenth-century primer on Greek myths written by Lady Hestia Evans. This particular edition is inscribed to Lady Hestia’s friend John Oro, who was embarking on a tour of the sites of ancient Greece. Along his journey, Oro has added his own notes, comments, and drawings in the margins — including mention of his growing obsession with the story of King Midas and a visit to Olympus to make a daring request of Zeus himself. This guide to Mythology is designed to support a creative curriculum and provide opportunities to make links across subjects. The suggested activities help students make connections with and build on their existing knowledge, which may draw from film, computer games, and other popular media as well as books and more traditional sources. We hope that the menu of possibilities presented here will serve as a creative springboard and inspiration for you in your classroom. For your ease of use, the guide is structured to follow the book in a chapter-by-chapter order. However, many of the activities allow teachers to draw on material from several chapters. For instance, the storytelling performance activity outlined in the section “An Introduction to Mythology” could also be used with stories from other chapters.

  • Ancient Greece and Rome in Videogames: Representation, Player Processes, and Transmedial Connections
    Ancient Greece and Rome in Videogames: Representation, Player Processes, and Transmedial Connections Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Ross Clare September 2018 Abstract Videogames are a hugely popular entertainment medium that plays host to hundreds of different ancient world representations. They provide very distinctive versions of recreated historical and mythological spaces, places, and peoples. The processes that go into their development, and the interactive procedures that accompany these games, must therefore be equally unique. This provides an impetus to both study the new ways in which ancient worlds are being reconfigured for gameplayers who actively work upon and alter them, and to revisit our conception of popular antiquity, a continuum within popular culture wherein ancient worlds are repeatedly received and changed in a variety of media contexts. This project begins by locating antiquity within a transmedial framework, permitting us to witness the free movement of representational strategies, themes, subtexts and ideas across media and into ancient world videogames. An original approach to the gameplay process, informed by cognitive and memory theory, characterises interaction with virtual antiquity as a procedure in which the receiver draws on preconceived notions and ideas of the ancient past to facilitate play. This notion of “ancient gameplay” as a reception process fed by general knowledges, previous pop-cultural engagements, and dim resonances of antiquity garnered from broad, informal past encounters allows for a wide, all-encompassing study of “ancient games”, the variety of sources they (and the player) draw upon, and the many experiences these games offer.

  • Command and Conquer in the Development of Real-Time Strategy
    Command and Conquer in the Development of Real-Time Strategy Alex Devkar 3/18/2003 STS145 Professor Henry Lowood 2 Introduction By all accounts, Command & Conquer (C&C) was an immediate and unmitigated success when it was released in late 1995. It spawned one of the most lucrative series in videogame history, and its title has become synonymous with real-time strategy (RTS). Yet, the basis of the game was not original. Dune II, from the same developer, had previously established the RTS genre, and C&C was almost identical in many respects. What made C&C such a sensation was its refinement of Dune II’s gameplay ideas with the addition of several key innovations, which set the standard for all games of the genre to come. Internet play and varied styles of play between the different armies in the game were some of the important advances that are now fundamental to RTS. Furthermore, C&C’s flaws clearly showed some areas in which improvement was possible. The AI was far from perfect, and the idea of devoting more resources to AI became a topic of discussion in the industry. In essence, by both its strengths and weaknesses, the game provided a roadmap for the further development of RTS. History of Westwood The history of Westwood Studios, the developer of C&C, is vital to the RTS genre; without C&C, RTS might be very different today, and without Westwood Studios, RTS might not even exist. It was the company’s commitment to risk-taking and creative freedom that allowed C&C and RTS to bloom.

    Running head: MARS AND VENUS 1 Mars and Venus: Symbols of the Chaotic and Conflicted Human Passions and the Reestablishment of Order in “The Knight’s Tale.” Olivia LeeEtta Blessing A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Spring 2011 MARS AND VENUS 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Carl C. Curtis, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Michael Babcock, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Kristina Schimmels, M.Ed. Committee Member ______________________________ Marilyn Gadomski, Ph.D. Assistant Honors Director ______________________________ Date MARS AND VENUS 3 Abstract During the Middle Ages, Europe experienced a period when philosophers attempted to separate and analyze the passionate and rational elements of the soul. Some supported strict reason as the sole moral basis for living, while others looked to the tempestuous passionate emotions. Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Knight’s Tale” portrays this conflict between reason and the passions through the depicted relationship between Mars and Venus and the uncontrolled passions of Arcite and Palamon. Determining that a world controlled by passions results in chaos, Chaucer offers three different solutions—negating the passions, subjugating the passions to reason, and a balance between passion and reason. He ultimately determines that only the third option will result in true order within nature and the human soul. MARS AND VENUS 4 Mars and Venus: Symbols of the Chaotic and Conflicted Human Passions and the Restablishment of Order in “The Knight’s Tale.” Probably the most popular English medieval author, Geoffrey Chaucer wrote literary works reflecting a distinctly medieval style of writing, and his literature is to some readers the culmination of that period’s most significant literary ideals.
