83. Gender And Race In Ancient Greek Myths Grimal, Pierre, Penguin Dictionary of classical mythology, Penguin USA. Morford, M., and R. Lenardon, classical mythology, Longman 1994 (5th ed). http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/classes/DP4375.html

CLAS 4375: GENDER AND RACE IN ANCIENT GREEK MYTHS Selective study of Greek myths and rituals focused on dynamics of inclusion and exclusion that parallel modern definitions of ethnicity and gender. Satisfies the cultural heritage component of level 2 of the core curriculum. Also: Humanities elective and Women's Studies elective. It may be taken for Honors credit. Prerequisites: Math 1310 and six hours of sophomore English credits. This a course for students in any major, who will not be expected to have any prior knowledge of mythology or of the ancient Greek world. WRITING ASSIGNMENTS AND ELECTRONIC TOOLS Honors students and majors in Classical Studies are required to write their research assignments using Perseus, a multimedia program available on campus and on the web. For other students the use of Perseus is optional. To all students, however, I highly recommend exploring Perseus, both as a study tool and to find primary materials for the writing assignments. As I develop each topic in class, I will give suggestions on specific searches you may do with Perseus. T. Martin's Overview (accessible under Secondary Tools in the Perseus menu) provides an excellent introduction to the development of the ancient Greek culture, with particular emphasis on religious, sociopolitical, and economic aspects as well as on the roles of women. Under Related Links in the Perseus menu it is possible to access Diotima, an admirable www site for the study of gender in antiquity. I will be available to help students who need instruction in handling electronic materials, both for browsing and for their individual projects.

Review: By the way I'm a graduate student studying Greek and Roman history, religion, and literature at Berkeley. I believe I am fairly qualified, then, to make this argument. The price of this book is a disgusting shame and should not be tolerated.

89. Classical Myth: Homepage Drawing together ancient texts and images concerning the major figures of Greek and Roman mythology, by Laurel Bowman, University of Victoria. http://web.uvic.ca/grs/bowman/myth/

When I began to write my history I was inclined to count these legends as foolishness, but on getting as far as Arcadia I grew to hold a more thoughtful view of them, which is this. In the days of old those Greeks who were considered wise spoke their sayings not straight out but in riddles, and so the legends about Cronus I conjectured to be one sort of Greek wisdom. In matters of divinity, therefore, I shall adopt the received tradition.

90. Main Menu A whois-who of classical, Norse, Gaelic and Egyptian mythology. http://www.akasha.demon.co.uk/main.htm

This web page is dedicated to the wonderful stories and legends found in the ancient mythologies. Being mainly Celtic with a dash of Greek, I have always been facinated with the myths of those two races. Recently I have researched Norse mythology and found that there is an equally exciting supply of legend there.Finally, inspired by an upcoming trip to Egypt I started to look at their myths, which although highly confusing, have a wealth of interesting deities and beliefs My only problem in constructing this web site has been in deciding what to put in and what to leave out. I have basically compromised by including a glossary of the main characters in Norse, Gaelic, Egyptian and Classical Mythology and including a few of my own favorite stories. I hope, that like me, you may be inspired to read more about the myths of these great cultures. Mail me! or sign the guest book

95. The Mythology Of The Constellations classical Greek and Roman myths. http://www.comfychair.org/~cmbell/myth/myth.html

The Mythology of the Constellations Most ancient cultures saw pictures in the stars of the night sky. The earliest known efforts to catalogue the stars date to cuneiform texts and artifacts dating back roughly 6000 years. These remnants, found in the valley of the Euphrates River, suggest that the ancients observing the heavens saw the lion, the bull, and the scorpion in the stars. The constellations as we know them today are undoubtedly very different from those first fewour night sky is a compendium of images from a number of different societies, both ancient and modern. By far, though, we owe the greatest debt to the mythology of the ancient Greeks and Romans. The earliest references to the mythological significance of the Greek constellations may be found in the works of Homer, which probably date to the 7th century B.C. In the Iliad , for instance, Homer describes the creation of Achilleus's shield by the craftsman god Hephaistos: On it he made the earth, and sky, and sea, the weariless sun and the moon waxing full, and all the constellations that crown the heavens, Pleiades and Hyades, the mighty Orion and the Bear, which men also call by the name of Wain: she wheels round in the same place and watches for Orion, and is the only one not to bathe in Ocean Iliad XVIII 486-490) At the time of Homer, however, most of the constellations were not associated with any particular myth, hero, or god. They were instead known simply as the objects or animals which they representedthe Lyre, for instance, or the Ram. By the 5th century B.C., however, most of the constellations had come to be associated with myths, and the

Next Bronze and Blood "Some say that long ago, when the Eirish Sea was only two rivers, you could see people on the other side. There was snow that never melted. The Ancient Ones ruled the land." A tracking shot moves alongside the forested shore, viewing it from a lake. The forest is old growth coastal rainforest. The camera is very close to the shore, and as it moves we see every detail of the inner depths. "The Faery kind lived openly in the old days, all of four feet tall and practiced in many sciences. To them the forest was a holy place. Everything that grew was sacred, from the tiniest shoots to the giant red cedar. Every animal that lived there was revered, every creature in the ocean, every drop of water, each handful of the good moist earth that smelled like new life when you held it close. "The silver birch branch was their sign. Four thousand years passed. The earth warmed and cooled, and with the return of the clouds came the Gaels, a people of bronze and blood. Tall and pale they were, with hair like fire, fierce and terrible to see. And the red cedar branch was their sign." At this point in the camera's sideways tracking, it passes an abandoned Faery calendar ring, reclaimed by the forest.

99. The Stabbing Cat Home of a RuneQuest campaign located on Griffin Island. It is a mixture of the classical world of RuneQuest, Glorantha, and some of the Tolkien mythology. http://www.msu.edu/user/moulinfr/RuneQuest.html

Welcome to the STABBING CAT This is the home of my RuneQuest campaign, located in Griffin Island . It is a mixte of the classical world of RuneQuest, Glorantha, and some of the Tolkien mythology. Griffin Island is a campaign set published by Avalon Hill Chaosium and based on a previous campaign for RQ 2 called Griffin Mountain. Somehow, in the process of updating the material, the campaign location was changed from Balazar to an isolated island, and the bad guys were changed from Lunars to Orcs ! The intrusion of the orcs as one of the major civilization of the island required some background materials, and being lazy, I choose to adapte informations published in the I.C.E. game MERP. I have also included for your eyes only some of the stunning illustrations from my favorite fantasy artist of all time, Angus McBRIDE . He is the one doing most of the covers of I.C.E. MERP and ROLEMASTER games, and some of the OSPREY military series. I had to reduce the size and quality of the images in order to make them downloadable at a reasonable speed, but if you like these graphics, just imagine that the originals are ten times better! Some of them are available from I.C.E. in a book called "Angus McBride's Characters of ME", ref.#8007. The Stabbing Cat is the main inn in Nidik , and the headquarter of my players when they return to the civilized world. It is a good place to gather gossip and news, and the usual starting point for another adventure. I have included here

Ancient Greece Socrates was born in Athens . He was the son of poor parents. His father was a sculptor and his mother was a midwife. Socrates was a stone cutter by trade, even though there is little evidence that he did much to make a living. However, he did have enough money to own a suit of armor when he was a hoplite in the Athenian military. He was married and had three (3) sons. He fought in the Peloponnesian War, as a soldier in the Athenian army. After he retired from the army he devoted his time to what he called "divine command" ...more Delphi stands high on the slopes of Mount Parnassus , in the heart of Phocis at the crossroads of important routes of the ancient world. Is one of the most famous cult sites in Greece, renowned throughout the ancient Greek world and beyond as the sanctuary of Apollo and the seat of his oracle. It was at the end of the Mycenaean period that Apollo, Olympian God and guarantor of universal harmony, is supposed to have overcome the old underworld deities. A hymn attributed to Homer tells how, ...more Zeus + Hera - The god of the sky and ruler of the gods of Mount Olympus. He displaced his father and assumed the leadership of the gods of Olympus. Zeus was considered the father of the gods and of mortals. He did not create either gods or mortals; he was their father in the sense of being the protector and ruler both of the Olympian family and of the human race. His weapon was a thunderbolt.His breastplate was the aegis, his bird the eagle, his tree the oak. He was married to Hera but, is famous for his many affairs, which resulted in many known children and probably many more that were not known to be his. Athena was his favorite child.
