Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Talks on Pythianism It has been my aim and object in writing this little book, to lay before its readers the story of Damon and Pythias, and a few talks on the tenets of the Order in plain, simple language. In doing so I have had but two leading thoughts in my mind. In the first place, I have had the misfortune to Lose my sight and am totally blind. Both myself and wife are growing old, having already passed three score years. It has been our lot to accumulate but little of this world's goods, and yet in our declining years we must live. It is needless for me to say, therefore, that the thought of securing these necessities of life from the sale of the book first prompted me to make an effort at book-writing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Pythian Knighthood Means It had its conception in the friendship existing between Damon and Pythias, and the Order was founded on February 19th, 1864, in the Citv of Washington, D. C., by Justus Henry Rathbone. This was during the Rebel lion, when the country was in the throes of civil war, when the Southern States were arrayed against the Northern States, and the perpetuity of the Nation was in jeopardy. Family ties had been sundered, bloodshed and carnage involved the country in general gloom. It was during this dark period, that the star of Pythian ism rose in the East, shedding the light of friendship and brotherly love into the homes and across the battle fields, strewn with the bones of the valiant sons of the North and the South, who had lost their lives in deadly combat. The proclamation of such friendship at such a time was not unlike that of the heralding of Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men, over the plains of Judea, when the morning stars sang together. The friend ship between Damon and Pythias was of so high an order that it prompted one to offer his life as a ransom for the other, and thus fulfilled the divine idea of our Saviour, who said Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. It may be of interest to inquire into the causes of such friendship at a period, when a large part of the world was ruled by Heathen Nations, engaged in frequent wars and when human life was regarded as of little value. Damon and Pythias were Pythagoreans, who lived in the fourth century B. 0. They drank deeply at the wellsn of this philosophy.' They imbibed its prmciples and were transformed into living exponents of its teachings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Agon in Classical Literature written by Efstathiou EDWARDS and published by University of London Press. This book was released on 2022-05-02 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essays on the topical concept of agon in Greek literature. The papers collected in this volume are offered by colleagues and former students in honor of Chris Carey, emeritus professor of Greek at University College London. The multifaceted topic of the agon, or contest of word, and its varying representations in Greek literature aptly corresponds to the outstanding variety of Carey's research interests, which include the works of Homer, lyric poetry, drama, law, rhetoric, and historiography. This volume sets out to reflect on facets of the agon across these literary genres and the pivotal role of competition in ancient Greek thought. It aims to explore the wide range of agonal dynamics, and their generic and cultural value, as well as stimulating fresh discussions under a broad spectrum of theoretical and methodological approaches.
