When we learn to call forth our eternal spirit back into our earthly bodies, we experience the ancient arts of actual- ization and connection to universal truth. This is the goal of spirituality. One cannot experience spirituality without uniting the body, mind and spirit. If your spirit is not present, your higher goddess self is not present.

  • Ponos and Aponia
    SHAPIRO, H. A., "Ponos" and "Aponia" , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 25:2 (1984) p.107 Ponos and Aponia H. A. Shapiro N GRBS 23 (1982) 147-56, A. L. Boegehold presented an inter­ I esting argument that, in the years 424-421, a group of dissenters in Athens, led by Nikias, who favored making peace with Sparta, adopted as a slogan 1TOVWV 1TaV(TWI_"dJa. This formulation transformed the connotation of 1TOVO~ from a traditionally patriotic expression of the hard work needed to achieve a noble goal to a more pessimistic term for the hardships and suffering of an unnecessarily protracted war. Boegehold adduced passages in Thucydides, Euripides, and Aris­ tophanes to illustrate the extraordinary popularity and often highly charged rhetorical uses of 1TOVO~ in this period. It may be relevant to introduce in this context a unique depic­ tion, on an Athenian vase of the following decade, 420-410, of a woman labelled AIlONIA (PLATE 0.1 There is no literary evidence for Aponia as the name of a divinity, mythological figure, or his­ torical person, and it is clear from other figures on the same vase, to be discussed infra, that Aponia is meant here as a personified abstraction. The word a1Tovia first occurs in extant Greek literature several de­ cades after the date of this vase,2 in Xenophon's Cyropaedeia (2.2.25), where its connotation is clearly pejorative ("laziness'), and it is linked with {3AaKEia ('indolence', 'stupidity'). Aristotle once uses the word a1Tovia in this negative sense (Rh. 1370aI4), but once also in a more positive, or at least neutral, sense ('freedom from toil', Gen.An.

  • I Swear by Apollo the Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea
    I swear by Apollo the Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture. To hold my teacher in this art equal to my own parents; to make him partner in my livelihood; when he is in need of money to share mine with him; to consider his family as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they want to learn it, without fee or indenture; to impart precept, oral instruction, and all other instruction to my own sons, the sons of my teacher, and to indentured pupils who have taken the physician’s oath, but to nobody else. I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrong-doing. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. But I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art. I will not use the knife, not even, verily, on sufferers from stone, but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein. Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free. And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my profession, as well as outside my profession in my intercourse with men, if it be what should not be published abroad, I will never divulge, holding such things to be holy secrets.

  • The Fabric of the City: Imaging Textile Production in Classical Athens
    HESPERIA JJ (2OO8) THE FABRIC OF THE CITY Pages 283-334 Imaging Textile Production in Classical Athens ABSTRACT Scenes of textile production on Athenian vases are often interpreted as confirming the oppression of women, who many argue were confined to "women's quarters" and exploited as free labor. However, reexamination - of the iconography together with a reconsideration of gender roles and - the archaeology of Greek houses dating to the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. suggests that these images idealize female contributions to the household in a positive way. The scenes utilize the dual metaphor of weaving and marriage to express the hartnonia of oikos and polis, a theme particularly significant under the evolving Athenian democracy. The past 30 years have witnessed significant change in the study of ancient Athenian iconography.1Of particularimportance has been the increased attention given to so-called genre scenes or "scenes of everyday life" in Athenian vase painting, a response to the dominating focus of earlier scholarship on mythological subject matter. This trend began in the late 1970s, and escalated in the 1980s with a series of publications primarily by French authors, most notably the groundbreaking volume La cite des imagesin 1984 (translatedinto English in 1989). Severalscholars have ques- tioned the efficacy of the image and the apparentreality of genre iconog- raphy.2All too often, the tendency has been to treat scenes on Athenian vases as mere illustrations,but recent iconographic studies have assertedthe opposite:that images are constructionsin which each element is consciously or unconsciously chosen as part of a larger system of signs and symbols.

  • Library Tour Guide
    Texas Woman’s University Tour Guide for the Blagg-Huey Library Denton, Texas Welcome to Texas Woman’s University Library! The Blagg-Huey Library was completed and opened its doors in January 1986. The Library stands where University residence halls once stood and houses over 500,000 volumes. The Fountain – Architectural plans called for a fountain as a center of the front Library Plaza, a gathering place for students on their way to the residence halls, the Library, the Dining Hall, the Student Center, and the classroom buildings. Mr. and Mrs. Gus Davis donated the funds to purchase the library fountain. Mrs. Davis was the chair of the TWU Board of Regents at the time. The fountain itself was imported from France. The Dedicatory Plaque – the dedicatory plaque on the front of the building bears the quotation by Edith Hamilton which reads: “To be able to be caught up in a world of thought – that is to be Educated.” Edith Hamilton The quotation was recommended by the late Dr. Joyce Thompson of the TWU English Faculty. In a surprise move unknown to Dr. Mary Evelyn Blagg-Huey, who was then President, the Alumni recommended to the Regents that the new Library be named in her honor. She was the University’s first woman president, and it was one of her primary goals to provide a new library for the students and faculty. Her portrait is in the foyer on the wall to the left of the front entrance. The portrait was a gift of Mr. and Mrs. Gene Gatlin (Hoy Casey Gatlin, TWU Class of 1941) First Floor The University Mace – Designed and Handmade by Alfred E.
