Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pausanias Description of Greece, Vol. 1 of 6: With an English Translation; Books I and II The text of Spiro has rarely been altered. A few of the most plausible conjectures, generally though not always adopted by Spiro, have been assigned to their authors in footnotes. In my translation I have not distinguished be tween Medes and Persians, or Ilium Troy. It is rather deceptive to an English reader to do so, and the Greek scholar can easily tell from the original which word in each case was used by Pausanias.

Download or read book Pausanias's Description of Greece written by Pausânias and published by Theclassics.Us. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ... back gable are by Alcamenes, a contemporary of Phidias, and only second to him as a sculptor. His work in the gable represents the battle of the Lapiths with the Centaurs at the wedding of Pirithous. At the middle of the gable is Pirithous: beside him, on the one hand, are Eurytion, who has snatched up the wife of Pirithous, and Caeneus, who is succouring Pirithous; on the other hand is Theseus repelling the Centaurs with an axe; one Centaur has caught up a maiden, another a blooming youth. Alcamenes, it seems to me, represented this scene because he had learned from Homer that Pirithous was a son of Zeus, and because he knew that Theseus was a great grandson of Pelops. Most of the labours of Hercules 9 are also represented at Olympia. Above the doors of the temple is the hunting of the Arcadian boar, and the affair with Diomede the Thracian, and that with Geryon at Erythea, and Hercules about to take the burden of Atlas on himself, and Hercules cleansing the land of the Eleans from the dung. Above the doors of the back chamber is Hercules wresting from the Amazon her girdle, and the stories of the deer, and the bull in Cnosus, and the birds at Stymphalus, and the hydra, and the lion in the land of Argos. 3. As you enter the bronze doors you have on the right, in front 10 of the pillar, a statue of Iphitus being crowned by a woman Ecechiria (' truce'), as the distich inscribed on the statue declares. Within the temple also there are pillars, and there are galleries up above, through which there is an approach to the image. There is also a winding ascent to the roof. XI 1. The god is seated on a throne: he is made of gold and ivory: on his head is a wreath made in imitation of sprays of olive. In his right hand he carries a Victory, also...
Book Synopsis Ripe for Revolution by : Jeremy Friedman
Download or read book Ripe for Revolution written by Jeremy Friedman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical account of ideology in the Global South as the postwar laboratory of socialism, its legacy following the Cold War, and the continuing influence of socialist ideas worldwide. In the first decades after World War II, many newly independent Asian and African countries and established Latin American states pursued a socialist development model. Jeremy Friedman traces the socialist experiment over forty years through the experience of five countries: Indonesia, Chile, Tanzania, Angola, and Iran. These states sought paths to socialism without formal adherence to the Soviet bloc or the programs that Soviets, East Germans, Cubans, Chinese, and other outsiders tried to promote. Instead, they attempted to forge new models of socialist development through their own trial and error, together with the help of existing socialist countries, demonstrating the flexibility and adaptability of socialism. All five countries would become Cold War battlegrounds and regional models, as new policies in one shaped evolving conceptions of development in another. Lessons from the collapse of democracy in Indonesia were later applied in Chile, just as the challenge of political Islam in Indonesia informed the policies of the left in Iran. Efforts to build agrarian economies in West Africa influenced TanzaniaÕs approach to socialism, which in turn influenced the trajectory of the Angolan model. Ripe for Revolution shows socialism as more adaptable and pragmatic than often supposed. When we view it through the prism of a Stalinist orthodoxy, we miss its real effects and legacies, both good and bad. To understand how socialism succeeds and fails, and to grasp its evolution and potential horizons, we must do more than read manifestos. We must attend to history.
Book Synopsis Pausanias Description of Greece, Vol. 1 of 6 by : Pausânias
Download or read book Pausanias Description of Greece, Vol. 1 of 6 written by Pausânias and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pausanias Description of Greece, Vol. 1 of 6 The present work was originally intended to be a plain translation of the text of Spiro. After a time I was requested by the Editors of the Loeb series to add a few notes, dates, maps, etc., so that the Tour might be more intelligible to English readers. Fully aware of the difficulties and dangers of the plan, I have nevertheless tried my best to choose from a vast quantity of material just those scraps of information which an English reader would need most. A few of the notes are printed at the side and foot of the page; most of them, together with the maps and plans, are reserved for the Index, which it is hoped to make a "companion" to Pausanias. The transliteration of Greek names has been a matter of difficulty. The only way to avoid inconsistencies is to transliterate letter for letter without attempting either to Latinize or to Anglicize.

Book Synopsis Pausanias's Description of Greece, Vol. 1 of 6 (Classic Reprint) by : J. G. Frazer
Download or read book Pausanias's Description of Greece, Vol. 1 of 6 (Classic Reprint) written by J. G. Frazer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 718 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pausanias's Description of Greece, Vol. 1 of 6 Mr. Gurlitt concludes that the second book of Pausanias was written after 16 5 a.d. Even the first book, according to him, must be dated not earlier than 143 a.d. His reason is that when Pausanias wrote this book the stadium at Athens had already been rebuilt of white marble by Herodes Atticus,1 and that the reconstruction cannot, if Professor C. Wachsmuth is right,2 have been begun before 143 a.d. Or a little earlier. With regard to the other books, the evidence, scanty as it is, is less conflicting. The fifth book, as we have seen, was composed in the year 174 a.d. The eighth book, in which mention is made of the victory of Marcus Antoninus over the Germans,3 must have been written after 166 a.d., the year when the German war broke out, and may have been written in or after 176 a.d., the year in which the emperor celebrated a triumph for his success. In the tenth book occurs the reference to the inroad of the Costobocs 4 hence the book was written between 166 and 180 a.d. Further, the references which Pausanias makes both forwards and backwards to the several parts of his work show that the books were written in the order in which they now stand.5 Hence books six to ten cannot have been composed earlier and may have been composed a good deal later than 174 a.d., the year in which our author was engaged on his fifth book. Thus the composition of the work extended over a period of at least fourteen years and probably of many more. That Pausanias spent a long time over it might be inferred from a passage in which he explains a change in his religious views. When he began his work, so he tells us, he looked on some Greek myths as little better than foolishness, but when he had got as far as his description of Arcadia he had altered his opinion and had come to believe that they contained a kernel of deep wisdom under a husk of extravagance.6 Such a total change of attitude towards the religious traditions of his country was more probably an affair of years than of weeks and months.

Download or read book Guide to Greece written by Pausanias and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1984-08-07 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of the time-honored travel book about Greece, written 2,000 years ago Written by a Greek traveller in the second century ad for a principally Roman audience, Pausanias' Guide to Greece is a comprehensive, extraordinarily literate and well-informed guidebook for tourists of the age. Concentrating on buildings, tombs and statues, it also describes in detail the myths, religious beliefs and historical background behind the monuments considered. In doing so, it preserves Greek legends, quotes classical literature and poetry that would otherwise have been lost, and offers a fascinating depiction of the glory of classical Greece immediately before its third-century decline. This, the second of two volumes, explores Southern Greece including Sparta, Arkadia, Bassae and the games at Olympia. An inspiration to travellers and writers across the ages, including Byron and Shelley, it remains one of the most influential of all travel books. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Book excerpt: Pausanias, the Greek historian and traveler, lived and wrote around the second century AD, during the period when Greece had fallen peacefully to the Roman Empire.
