Book excerpt: "What always bewilders me," Hadria says, bending over the balustrade among the ivy, "is the enormous gulf between what "might be" and what "is," in human life." In a bleak and solitary district of Scotland, a group of children form a secret society -- the Preposterous Society, they call it -- for the discussing of ideas. Of them, Hadria seems especially to have absorbed the spirit of those mystic northern twilights. A slight, dark-haired girl, she has a pale, rather mysterious face, and large, bewitched-looking eyes -- yet she is full of life, and is an inspiration to her siblings . . . for her thoughts as much as for her actions. Now a new thought disturbs her -- springing from a chance disagreement with a quotation from Emerson. In thinking of the greatness Emerson achieved, she wondered: could a woman do the same? Would circumstances allow a woman to raise herself to the same heights, in a society that expects it of a man? "The Daughters of Danaus" is the moving story of a girl trying to find happiness in a world full of uncomfortable and even cruel realities.

Book excerpt: "The Daughters of Danaus Part I " by Mona Caird delves on the issues that women encounter in a world bound by traditional gender stereotypes. Part I of the narrative introduces the reader to the Mandeville sisters, Lucy, Adeline, and Alethea. The story goes into the complex dynamics of marriage and the expectations placed on women in the late 1800s. As the sisters navigate their various marriages, they are confronted with the oppressive norms of femininity and the restricted options accessible to them. Adeline, in particular, feels the oppressive character of her union, emphasizing the unequal power dynamics in marital partnerships at the period. Caird successfully challenges societal standards that constrain women to restrictive roles, examining the impact on their individuality and well-being. Mona Caird, a well-known feminist writer of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, questions traditional ideas about women's responsibilities in society in her novel. "The Daughters of Danaus" is a thought-provoking investigation of the constraints placed on women in a patriarchal culture, delivering a devastating critique of societal expectations while calling for greater autonomy and agency for women.

Download or read book The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended to Which Is Prefix'd a Short Chronicle From the First Memory of Things in Europe to the Conquest of Persia by Alexander the Great written by Sir Isaac Newton and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 1770 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek Antiquities are full of Poetical Fictions, because the Greeks wrote nothing in Prose, before the Conquest of Asia by Cyrus the Persian. Then Pherecydes Scyrius and Cadmus Milesius introduced the writing in Prose. Pherecydes Atheniensis, about the end of the Reign of Darius Hystaspis, wrote of Antiquities, and digested his work by Genealogies, and was reckoned one of the best Genealogers.Epimenides the Historian proceeded also by Genealogies; and Hellanicus, who was twelve years older thanHerodotus, digested his History by the Ages or Successions of the Priestesses of Juno Argiva. Others digested theirs by the Kings of the Lacedæmonians, or Archons of Athens. Hippias the Elean, about thirty years before the fall of the Persian Empire, published a breviary or list of the Olympic Victors; and about ten years before the fall thereof, Ephorus the disciple of Isocrates formed a Chronological History ofGreece, beginning with the return of the Heraclides into Peloponnesus, and ending with the siege ofPerinthus, in the twentieth year of Philip the father of Alexander the great: But he digested things by Generations, and the reckoning by Olympiads was not yet in use, nor doth it appear that the Reigns of Kings were yet set down by numbers of years. The Arundelian marbles were composed sixty years after the death of Alexander the great (An. 4. Olymp. 128.) and yet mention not the Olympiads: But in the next Olympiad, Timæus Siculus published an history in several books down to his own times, according to the Olympiads, comparing the Ephori, the Kings of Sparta, the Archons of Athens, and the Priestesses ofArgos, with the Olympic Victors, so as to make the Olympiads, and the Genealogies and Successions of Kings, Archons, and Priestesses, and poetical histories suit with one another, according to the best of his judgment. And where he left off, Polybius began and carried on the history. So then a little after the death of Alexander the great, they began to set down the Generations, Reigns and Successions, in numbers of years, and by putting Reigns and Successions equipollent to Generations, and three Generations to an hundred or an hundred and twenty years (as appears by their Chronology) they have made the Antiquities of Greece three or four hundred years older than the truth. And this was the original of the Technical Chronology of the Greeks. Eratosthenes wrote about an hundred years after the death of Alexander the great: He was followed by Apollodorus, and these two have been followed ever since by Chronologers.

Book excerpt: A new, accurate, and readable translation of four of Aeschylus' plays: Persians, Seven Against Thebes, Suppliants, and Prometheus Bound. It is based upon the most authoritative recent edition of the Greek text and particular care is taken with the many lyric passages. A lengthy introduction sets the plays in their original context, and includes short appreciative essays on them. The explanatory notes treat dramatic issues, structure and form, and theatrical aspects, as well as details of content and language. Major difficulties in the texts themselves, which affect general interpretation, are briefly discussed. The volume as a whole should provide an informative, reliable, and suggestive basis for study and enjoyment.
