Extractions: Greek Mythology Link - by Carlos Parada, author of Genealogical Guide to Greek Mythology Brief history of the Greek myths The Triumph of Civilization Don Quijote: [Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quijote de la Mancha Don Quixote: "...an historian ought to be exact, sincere, and impartial; free from passion, and not to be biassed either by interest, fear, resentment, or affection, to deviate from truth, which is the mother of history, the preserver and eternizer of great actions, the professed enemy of oblivion, the witness of things passed, and the director of future times." [Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote , Part I, Chapter IX] "For historians should, in my opinion, be granted charity in errors that come of ignorance, since they are human beings and since the truth of ages past is hard to discover, but historians who deliberately do not give the exact facts should properly be open to censure, whenever in flattering one man or another or in attacking others from hatred too bitterly, they stray from the truth."
The Fall Of Troy - Preface The Fall of Troy. by Quintus Smyrnaeus (Translation by AS Way) sometime aboutthe middle of the 4th century AD Translation by AS Way, 1913. http://www.worldwideschool.org/library/books/lit/poetry/TheFallofTroy/Chap0.html
Extractions: by Quintus Smyrnaeus (Translation by A.S. Way) Terms Contents Preface BOOK I ... BOOK XIV Preface Introduction omer's "Iliad" begins towards the close of the last of the ten years of the Trojan War: its incidents extend over some fifty days only, and it ends with the burial of Hector. The things which came before and after were told by other bards, who between them narrated the whole "cycle" of the events of the war, and so were called the Cyclic Poets. Of their works none have survived; but the story of what befell between Hector's funeral and the taking of Troy is told in detail, and well told, in a poem about half as long as the "Iliad". Some four hundred years after Christ there lived at Smyrna a poet of whom we know scarce anything, save that his first name was Quintus. He had saturated himself with the spirit of Homer, he had caught the ring of his music, and he perhaps had before him the works of those Cyclic Poets whose stars had paled before the sun. We have practically no external evidence as to the date or place of birth of Quintus of Smyrna, or for the sources whence he drew his materials. His date is approximately settled by two passages in the poem, viz. vi. 531 sqq., in which occurs an illustration drawn from the man-and-beast fights of the amphitheatre, which were suppressed by Theodosius I. (379-395 A.D.); and xiii. 335 sqq., which contains a prophecy, the special particularity of which, it is maintained by Koechly, limits its applicability to the middle of the fourth century A.D.

Amazons 4th century when the Huns drove many group of people through their land. According to Quintus Smyrnaeus, Hippolyte and Penthesileia were sisters. http://www.timelessmyths.com/classical/amazons.html
Extractions: The Amazons were a race of woman warriors that has only appeared in Greek mythology, but also appeared in other cultures. The Amazons became popular subjects for writers and artists. They were fierce enemies or allies to many heroes in the classical myths. Since the Amazons appeared in many different pages within Timeless Myths and that they are popular entry in the search engine, I have decided that the Amazons warranted a page of their own. Background Queens of the Amazons Breastless Warriors The mythological woman warrior with a leopard hide donned on her head, and holding either a spear and shield or a drawn bow, remained etched in our memory. These warriors were known as the Amazons, and that has it place permanently in a dictionary. Really, little is known about the customs, traditions and religions of the Amazons, but they appeared in many scenes in the Greek mythology. Their homes were usually said to be at the mouth of the river Themiscyra, in Pontus, a region in Asia Minor (northern Anatolian Turkey). Though, in the

Extractions: Reading the Iliad, The Aftermath Part One: The Death of Achilles The twelve days of mourning come to an end and the Greeks resume their siege. Unfortunately the high walls of Ilios remain as impregnable as ever. With Hector dead, the Trojans huddle miserably inside their walls and appeal to foreign champions for salvation. The first to come to Troys aid is Penthesilea, a Thracian and a daughter of Ares. She puts on an astonishing display of whackstabbery, kills a bakers dozen or so of Achaeans, and is then finally laid low by Achilles himself, who has mistaken her for a man. When Achilles pulls off her helmet and realizes that he has just killed perhaps the only woman more psychotic than himself (and beautiful besides), he weeps for the lost possibilities. This inspires some random dumbass named Thersites to sing an impromptu version of Achilles and Penthesilea sitting in a tree, which inspires Achilles to perform an impromptu pas-de-deux called Me Stabbing Thersites Here and Here and Here. Evidently thats some kind of foul, so the Greeks get mad at Achilles and tell him to go purify himself. He sails off to Lesbos and sacrifices to Apollo, Artemis, and Leto, who as Niobe could tell you, know a little bit about homicide themselves. Whatever he does there, it apparently works, for Odysseus declares him clean, or at least clean enough, and he is welcomed back into polite society. Unfortunately, this little side adventure has given the Trojans time to find another champion.
