This book was released on 2017-06-03 with total page 858 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Italy and Sicily and the Rulers of the South From her Springs the lovely fable-allegory of the seed hidden in the earth, dead half the year and half the year alive again. For Of Demeter, by Zeus, was born Kore, the 'maiden, ' the girl Persephone, who played in Sicilian fields with maiden Athene and maiden -artemis, and each Chose a playground of her own. 'athene took Himera, on the north, for hers, and on the east Artemis Chose Ortygia in the sea; but Kore loved best the fruitful land of Enna in the island's heart, where violets grew so close and sweet that the Huntress's own hounds could follow no scent there, and the Chase ended among the flowers. There Kore wandered, gathering the violets to make a dark blue mantle for her father Zeus, the Sky-king; but though the meadows were SO fair, the gate of Hades was Close at hand, among the trees at the foot Of Enna's hill, and thence dark Pluton, master of hell, watched her with glowing eyes, and sprang forward at last and took her in his arms to bear her away. But when he was hard by Syracuse, the nymph Kyane, Kore's playmate, leapt lightly from the woods and stood in the way as he rushed along, and she prayed with all her heart for her friend's freedom, but could not move the raging god to mercy; so she sank to earth and was lost in her own tears, which made a deep translucent well, the most beautiful of all springs in the world to this day. After that Demeter went out to seek for her lost daughter, and lighted ietna's fires for a torch, but could not find her, for Kore had eaten the seed of the pomegranate in Pluton's house, and was wedded, and could only come back for half the year. Therefore Zeus gave her Sicily for a wed ding gift. By this is fabled the hiding of the seed in the earth, and its return to the upper world in leaf and flower.

Download or read book The Norman Conquest of Southern Italy and Sicily written by Gordon S. Brown and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Normans originally came to Italy and Sicily in the 11th and 12th centuries looking for adventure or a livelihood, but once there, found opportunity for fame and fortune. The story of the Norman conquest in Italy and Sicily is indeed one of knights and adventurers, great battles and lowly pillage, opportunism and statesmanship, and crusade and coexistence. This rich and often dramatic study focuses on the eight sons of Tancred of Hauteville, especially Robert Guiscard, who has been called "the most dazzling military ruler between Julius Caesar and Napoleon," and his youngest brother Roger, who conquered Sicily. It discusses how they expanded their lands throughout southern Italy, and then took Sicily from its Muslim rulers. The brothers, often in conflict with each other, challenged both the Papacy and the Byzantine Empire, became the main supporters of the reformed Papacy, and founded a rich, sophisticated kingdom that lasted until the nineteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of southern Italy is entirely distinct from that of northern Italy (the two regions were distinct cultural and political entities until 1868), but it has never been given its own historical due. The myriad influences that shaped modern civilisation in the Mediterranean come together in southern Italy and Sicily - the region once known as the 'Kingdom of the Two Sicilies'. What the rest of the world recognises as Italian culture - from opera to pizza - was born in the South. Yet negative images of its poverty, violence, superstition and nearness to Africa fuelled stereotypes of what was and was not acceptably 'European'. From the Normans and Angevins through Spanish and Bourbon rule to the unification of Italy, historian Tommaso Astarita explores the intellectual, religious, economic and political history of this fascinating region and delivers an accessibly written book that is not just colourful and scholarly but also wholly engrossing.
