Its construction began in 447 BC and was completed in 438 BC, although decorations of the Parthenon continued until 432 BC. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered to be the culmination of the development of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art. The Parthenon is regarded as an Parthenon 2 enduring symbol of Ancient Greece and of Athenian democracy and one of the world's greatest cultural monuments. The Greek Ministry of Culture is currently carrying out a program of selective restoration and reconstruction to ensure the stability of the partially ruined structure.[3] The Parthenon itself replaced an older temple of Athena, which historians call the Pre-Parthenon or Older Parthenon, that was destroyed in the Persian invasion of 480 BC. Like most Greek temples, the Parthenon was used as a treasury.

Athens' Peacetime Navy in the Age of Perikles Eddy, Samuel K Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Summer 1968; 9, 2; ProQuest pg. 141 Athens' Peacetime Navy in the Age of Perikles Samuel K. Eddy N THE eleventh and twelfth chapters of his biography of Perikles, I Plutarch gives some details of the policies developed by the Athenian statesman to relieve the plight of the poor of Athens. Some men, he says, were sent as settlers to the newly-created klerou chies in the empire. Others, both skilled and unskilled workmen, were employed in constructing the great monuments rising on the Akropolis and in other parts of Attika. Perikles also, Plutarch says, (11.4), caused sixty triremes to be manned and equipped for eight months of each year for the purposes of giving pay to the crews and of training them for war. I shall undertake to show that this number is wrong and that it should be emended to sixteen. I wish also to discuss how the sixteen ships may have been used and what implica tions such a standing navy has for our understanding of the financial history of Athens. There is no reason to doubt that the essential point in Plutarch's statement is correct, that is, that the Athenian demos did receive naval training. The contemporary Old Oligarch says they did (1.20) and Thucydides makes Perikles say the same thing (1.142.7-9). Training was necessary both for the steersmen and for the simple oarsmen, who had to row in strict unison while seated in close quarters on board ship.1 Learning to row at the different speeds ordered by the keleustai, handling the long, heavy oars while changing from <Call ahead" to Hall astern," and bringing all the oars on one side rapidly inboard to practice the side-swiping tactic sometimes used against an enemy-all this required a certain skill which only practice could give.

The Feasts of Trumpets. Leviticus 23:23-25
The Feasts of Trumpets. Leviticus 23:23-25. The Festival of Trumpets The Lord said to Moses, Say to the Israelites: On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of Sabbath rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts. Do no regular work, but present a food offering to the Lord. Rosh Hashanah or Jewish New Year is called the Feast of Trumpets in the Bible because it begins the Jewish High Holy Days and Ten Days of Repentance with the blowing of the ram's horn, the shofar, calling God's people together to repent from their sins. The Feast of Trumpets. Rosh HaShanah or Feast of Trumpets: Rosh HaShanah literally means, "head of the year" and is commonly known as the Jewish New Year. It is observed on the first day of Tishri, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar. Like Yom Kippur after it, Rosh HaShanah was not linked to the remembrance of any historical event. While traditional Judaism believes that, on Rosh Hashanah, the destiny of all mankind is recorded by God in the Book of Life, the Bible has not expressly specified what this feast represents, simply stating that it was a High Sabbath on which they were to blow the shofar and do no work. Rosh Hashanah heralded the beginning of the period known as the High Holy Days with The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) occurring ten days later, on the tenth of the month. The Feast of Trumpets. The Spring Feasts. The Feast of Passover & Unleavened Bread & the Feast of First Fruits were all fulfilled at Jesus Christ’s first coming.

House of Pericles and Aspasia
Level A THE THREE HOUSES IN THE STOAS OF THE ANCIENT GREEK LITERATURE HOUSE OF PERICLES AND ASPASIA PERICLES and THE GOLDEN AGE OF ATHENS factsanddetails.com/world/cat56/sub366/entry-6168.html Pericles The Golden Age of Athens was during the rule of Pericles over Athens from 457 B.C. to 430 B.C. During this time the Parthenon was built, Aeschylus, Aristophanes and Sophocles were producing plays in the theater beside the Acropolis and democracy flourished. Pericles ruled over what has been described as the world's first democracy and mathematics, the arts, history, astronomy and philosophy flourished under Socrates, the Sophists, Herodotus and Thucydides. During the Golden Age of Greece Athens was home to about 75,000 people and and between 200,000 and 250,000 lived in the surrounding countryside called "Attica." The city had an area of about 0.7 square miles. Under Athens and the Delian League the Greeks ruled much of the Mediterranean and trade flourished. Using iron to make tools, superior ships, weapons and machines Athens grew rich by exporting silver and olives. The money earned from this trade was used to construct other great building and support the arts and sciences. But things were not always as rosy as they seemed on the surface. A lot of the money used to build the Parthenon was looted from the Delian League treasury, less than a quarter of the population had political rights, slaves were often used instead of machines because they were cheaper, and war with Sparta was imminent. The upper classes ruled the government and many of the democratic reforms, such as payment for jury duty, were attempts to placate the lower classes with welfare payments and keep them in place.

Penelope's Geese
Penelope’s Geese Pets of the Ancient Greeks by kenneth kitchell ost people are familiar with the strong character of Penelope, who waited at Ithaca while her husband Odysseus was away 20 long years. In Homer’s Odyssey we watch in admiration as she holds together MOdysseus’ kingdom and keeps a horde of suitors at bay until he returns. But many readers quickly pass over the fact that she kept a flock of geese to help ease her heart. Indeed, later Greek art often shows women in domestic situations with geese or ducks. Penelope’s geese are just one example of the importance of pets to the ancient Greeks. As illustrated on vases, bowls, jugs, reliefs, figurines, and even funerary stelae, pets and people enjoyed a strong emotional bond. I have twenty geese here about the house, and they feed on Grains of wheat from the water trough. I love to watch them. Odyssey 19.535-37, trans. Lattimore A red figure amphora dating to 470–460 BC shows a woman spending her leisure time playing ball (a ball is in each hand) while a goose looks on (1). A Hellenistic terracotta of the late 4th century BC (2) shows another woman looking into a mirror as she adjusts her dress with the help of an atten- dant. At her feet sits a goose whose head has unfortunately been lost. Such scenes may have been commonplace in Greek households, with pets nearby during many domestic activities.

COLLECTING QUOTATIONS BY TOPIC: DEGREES OF PRESERVATION AND TRANSTEXTUAL RELATIONS AMONG GENRES* Abstract: This paper aims at exploring many issues concerning the difficult task of collecting quotations and text re-uses of lost histori- ans. The subject is addressed not by author or by work, but focusing on a topic and discussing sources that belong to different genres and are characterized by different degrees of preservation. The test-case is constituted by the sources on the revolt of Samos (440-439 BC). The aim of this paper is to address some questions concerning the difficult task of collecting fragments — i.e. quotations and textual re-uses — of lost texts of Classical prose writers. With this goal in mind, I am not going to talk about a fragmentary author or about a modern edition of fragments, but I will present my reflections focusing on a topic and gathering ancient sources about it. The rationale for this choice is to collect evidence that belongs to different genres and is character- ized by different degrees of preservation. The ultimate purpose is to explore connections among sources and point to a relation type perspec- tive, which is one of the most challenging issues when dealing with quo- tations1. This comparative analysis is the first step in examining three basic aspects of fragments of ancient works, combining both an endotextual and an exotextual approach: (1) the contribution of fragments to our knowledge of a certain topic, (2) the reasons for quoting them, and (3) their role inside the context of transmission2. This means investigating their level of distance from the original text, which is lost, and the inten- tion of the author who has selected, excerpted, and quoted a portion of the original text in a new (con)text.
