    The Zodiac: Comparison of the Ancient Greek Mythology and the Popular Romanian Beliefs

    THE ZODIAC: COMPARISON OF THE ANCIENT GREEK MYTHOLOGY AND THE POPULAR ROMANIAN BELIEFS DOINA IONESCU *, FLORA ROVITHIS ** , ELENI ROVITHIS-LIVANIOU *** Abstract : This paper intends to draw a comparison between the ancient Greek Mythology and the Romanian folk beliefs for the Zodiac. So, after giving general information for the Zodiac, each one of the 12 zodiac signs is described. Besides, information is given for a few astronomical subjects of special interest, together with Romanian people believe and the description of Greek myths concerning them. Thus, after a thorough examination it is realized that: a) The Greek mythology offers an explanation for the consecration of each Zodiac sign, and even if this seems hyperbolic in almost most of the cases it was a solution for things not easily understood at that time; b) All these passed to the Romanians and influenced them a lot firstly by the ancient Greeks who had built colonies in the present Romania coasts as well as via commerce, and later via the Romans, and c) The Romanian beliefs for the Zodiac is also connected to their deep Orthodox religious character, with some references also to their history. Finally, a general discussion is made and some agricultural and navigator suggestions connected to Pleiades and Hyades are referred, too. Keywords : Zodiac, Greek, mythology, tradition, religion. PROLOGUE One of their first thoughts, or questions asked, by the primitive people had possibly to do with sky and stars because, when during the night it was very dark, all these lights above had certainly arose their interest. So, many ancient civilizations observed the stars as well as their movements in the sky.

    2003 Annual Report Breast Cancer Action

    Breast Cancer Action Annual Report 2003 Coming Together: Moving From Illness to Activism Founded by a group of women who realized the power of community, Breast Cancer Action was born from a need for a grassroots organization with a unique understanding of the political, economic, and social context of breast cancer. Today BCA’s mission is to carry the voices of people affected by breast cancer in order to inspire and compel the changes necessary to end this epidemic. Never straying far from our community-based roots, and with a keen eye toward structural change, BCA organizes people to do something besides worry about breast cancer. 2003 was an extraordinary year for our organization and our movement. We came togeth- er in entirely new ways. New bridges were built. New steps were taken. Bold moves for- ward were made. Our community grew exponentially and our critical messages—that every woman should have access to information and care, that we need true prevention of breast cancer, and that we must develop more effective and less toxic treatments—reached an ever- growing audience. Together we demanded, and ultimately effected, lasting change. Information: The Key to Activism Information is an essential precursor to action. BCA has always been committed to providing accurate, reliable, and honest information about breast cancer. We reach the public through our English- and Spanish-language newsletters, our web site, and a toll-free number. By pro- viding information, BCA both enables people to make informed decisions for themselves and supports their activism. In 2003, we mailed the BCA Newsletter to an expanding list of more than 12,000 individu- als and institutions.

    2012 Annual Report

    2012 ANNUAL REPORT LIGHTING THE WAY FOR LGBT RIGHTS ABOUT NCLR The National Center for Lesbian Rights is a national legal organization committed to advancing the civil and human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and their families through litigation, public policy advocacy, and public education. Thirty-six years ago, a brave and determined woman, fresh out of law school and eager to make a difference, decided to put her knowledge to good use. As a legal scholar, Donna Hitchens saw the courtroom as a way to change the world. As a lesbian, she had experienced both personal and professional frustrations and fears, and didn’t want others to suffer the same. That was in 1977. Today, that pioneering spirit and unwavering commitment to advance the civil and human rights of all LGBT people continues. Each year, through litigation, public policy advocacy, and public education, NCLR helps more than 5,000 LGBT people and their families nationwide. Our precedent-setting case victories literally rewrite the law, changing the legal landscape for all LGBT people and families across the nation. For more than three decades we’ve been leaders in bringing historic cases, and today we are still blazing trails in pursuit of justice, fairness, and legal protections for all LGBT people. From a humble yet tenacious initial focus on addressing the overlooked discrimination against lesbians, NCLR has grown to expand its life- and law-changing work in order to advance the legal landscape for every LGBT person. Our programs focusing on elder law, employment, family law, federal legislation, healthcare, immigration, marriage, relationship protections, sports, transgender law, and youth create safer homes, safer jobs, and a more just world.

Eventually, he fell in love with and married Eurydice, but on their wedding day, she was bitten by a snake and died. His wandering lasted for no less than ten years! Next, it was the turn of goddess Athena. Also the trojan war they missed a part. They are naturally drawn to the land. As soon as the bull reached the beach, it ran into the water. While most ancient cultures were taught to fear their gods, the Greeks tried to make their gods relatable by giving them human-like qualities. Leto in ancient myths of Greece was the representation of motherhood. Out of pity, Athena transformed her into a spider, so she could continue weaving without having to break her oath. This tragic story has inspired many painters and it is the basic concept for many operas and songs. Once he came of age he tried to reclaim the throne. Oedipus, upon realizing what he had done and seeing Jocasta's dead body, stabbed his eyes out and was exiled. They are very similar, and Aphrodite and Eros escape from Typhon safely due to the help of two fish. It was Hercules first trial where he was given the task of finding and then killing the Nemean Lion. They have a lot in common.

    Constellation Legends

    Constellation Legends by Norm McCarter Naturalist and Astronomy Intern SCICON Andromeda – The Chained Lady Cassiopeia, Andromeda’s mother, boasted that she was the most beautiful woman in the world, even more beautiful than the gods. Poseidon, the brother of Zeus and the god of the seas, took great offense at this statement, for he had created the most beautiful beings ever in the form of his sea nymphs. In his anger, he created a great sea monster, Cetus (pictured as a whale) to ravage the seas and sea coast. Since Cassiopeia would not recant her claim of beauty, it was decreed that she must sacrifice her only daughter, the beautiful Andromeda, to this sea monster. So Andromeda was chained to a large rock projecting out into the sea and was left there to await the arrival of the great sea monster Cetus. As Cetus approached Andromeda, Perseus arrived (some say on the winged sandals given to him by Hermes). He had just killed the gorgon Medusa and was carrying her severed head in a special bag. When Perseus saw the beautiful maiden in distress, like a true champion he went to her aid. Facing the terrible sea monster, he drew the head of Medusa from the bag and held it so that the sea monster would see it. Immediately, the sea monster turned to stone. Perseus then freed the beautiful Andromeda and, claiming her as his bride, took her home with him as his queen to rule. Aquarius – The Water Bearer The name most often associated with the constellation Aquarius is that of Ganymede, son of Tros, King of Troy.
