InnerSelf Magazine (enter email here) Sample Issue Color Therapy - Then Now by Helen Graham The effects of color on life must have been of great significance to early human beings, whose very existence was governed by light and darkness. Most living things appear to be vitalized by the bright reds, oranges, and yellows of daylight and calmed and rejuvenated by the blues, indigos, and violets of the night. For the ancients, the colors that make up sunlight were each considered to show a different aspect of the divine and to influence different qualities of life. Color is therefore an important feature in the symbolism of ancient cultures throughout the world, and the origins of healing with color in Western civilization can be traced back to the mythology of Ancient Egypt and Greece. IN THE ANCIENT WORLD According to Ancient Egyptian mythology, the art of healing with color was founded by the god Thoth. He was known to the Ancient Greeks as Hermes Trismegistus, literally "Hermes thrice-greatest", because he was also credited with various works on mysticism and magic. Teachings attributed to him include the use of color in healing. In the Hermetic tradition, the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks used colored minerals, stones, crystals, salves, and dyes as remedies, and painted treatment sanctuaries in various shades of color.

Aesop's Fables A collection of brief tales traditionally ascribed to Aesop, a Greek slave on the island of Samos (6th century B.C.). Most of the tales are about animals with human traits, but in some there are human characters. The stories are simple, short and direct. Their purpose is to illustrate some human folly, frailty, vice or virtue. This is made plain by the appended moral. Among the more familiar fables are 'The fox and the grapes' and 'The goose that lay the golden eggs'. Aesop's fables : part I part II part III and part IV Aeschylus, father of tragic drama Aeschylus is the earliest of the three great Greek tragic dramatists (the others are Sophocles and Euripides ). His plays are marked by a strong moral sence, demonstrating that suffering is the inevitable consequence of sin, until the wrong doing has been expiated. Aeschylus enriched the drama with his technical innovations. He introduced a second actor where only one and a chorus had been used previously, making possible the conflict of wills and ideas that is so essential to dramatic development. He is believed to have written over 90 dramatic plays, but only seven have survived. The suppliants is his earliest known play, while the

Over One Hundred Million Pages Served Thank You for Visiting EAWC Why Study Ancient World Cultures? An Essay by Bill Hemminger The question that initiates this program is a broad one: Why study ancient cultures? You might feel that the question is moot: students do study and will study ancient cultures; such study is an expected part of a tradition of intellectual development. The response to the why of the initial question is a matter of tradition, if not fact. A study of the ROMAN EMPIRE a reading of Greek philosophy and literature, a look at the PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT these are all accepted parts of a Western education, aren't they? Probably so: even today, in the plurality of approaches to the study of history and to the study of cultures, people talk about PLATO or DANTE or Krishna or Mohammed. But there is an important proviso: How you approach ancient cultures (or any other culture, for that matter) and how you conceive of the people of such distant worlds are of paramount importance. At this point, you might ask yourself these two additional questions: Do we study these cultures because, to some extent, all cultures share certain characteristics? Does our own culture reflect aspects of these other cultures? The answer to the first of the two questions has historically been found in a discussion of universality. Consider, for a moment, the case of Arjuna in

170. Goddess Worship In Ancient Greece Introduction to ancient worship of the female Greek gods including Demeter and Kore, Hecate, Hera, others. http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~clit387/Worship.html

Goddess Worship in Ancient Greece back to welcome back to usage/index Introduction Aphrodite ... Conclusion Dating back to the Neolithic Period, through 300 B.C., and even up to the Middle Ages, Goddess worship has been practiced in Greece. Through rituals and religious practices the significance of Goddess worship is immense. In correlation to the gender roles in Ancient Greek society, worship can be seen as a phenomenal and freeing experience. In researching the various practices and festivals to the Goddesses, and Gods, of ancient Greece, it became necessary to recognize the importance of worship as compared to the status of women of the time. Women who were only defined through their biology and which hearth they were connected, either their fathers or husbands. In examining the worship of the Goddesses and Gods within this period, what comes to light is the specific roles of these divine beings, as well has the freedom worship allowed women. In comparison to the gender roles prevalent during ancient Greek times, what became apparent was the gamut of feminine and masculine values that women could embrace. It is the celebration of these values of which we decided to write. Aphrodite by Lisa Maria Andreoli One of the most well known stories of Aphrodite is that of Paris and the Golden Apple. Eris, also known as Discord, was not invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. Out of anger and embarrassment, she created a golden apple to be the prize in the beauty pageant to beat all pageants between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Zeus was immediately approached as judge, but sent the goddesses, led by Hermes, to Mount Ida near Troy, where Paris, prince of Troy, would judge them. In the end, Aphrodite managed to bribe Paris by promising to assist him in the abduction and wedding of Helen. Paris had wanted Helen, yet she was married to Menelaus, king of Sparta.

172. Marriage And Funerals In Athens Jana Shopkorn's essay on ritual and ceremony in ancient greece. http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/classes/JSp.html

"Til Death Do Us Part: Marriage and Funeral Rites in Classical Athens Jana Shopkorn In the ancient Mediterranean world there was hardly room for choice: not only was marriage destiny, but so was death. The identity of the Classical Greek world is established through the traditional sacrifices and rituals that were practiced in these times of bliss and mourning. The sacred wedding and the dramatic funeral compliment each other in character and content, for the ceremonies are both interwoven with ritual meaning and overlapping rites. Evidence for these formalities, both literary and artistic, help to provide a complete account of Greek customs in order to form the general picture of the wedding, the funeral, the parallels, the writings, and the vase paintings. Every respectable woman in Athens became a wife if she could. There was no real alternative other than marriage. The bride and the groom prepared for the wedding by means of offerings, dedications, and sacrifices. All of these rites had a purificatory and propitiatory character. Marriage in Classical Athens is constituted by the acts of engue ekdosis and gamos Engue refers to the betrothal arranged by the kurioi , usually the fathers. It may also refer to the relationship between the

174. Economics In Ancient Greece An essay on the economics and barter in ancient greece. http://community.middlebury.edu/~harris/Classics/EconomicsinGreece.html

TRADE AND BARTER IN ANCIENT GREECE: When we discuss the economics of the ancient world, we must be careful not to use the formal Economics which we employ in analyzing our own society, since Economics is a function of the way a society runs, not the set of rules under which a given society operates. We cannot remove ourselves from awareness of the economic disciplines which our schools teach, and even if we formally try to suspend Economics as a framework, we retain the image of the economic framework in our language and our general pool of ideas. Yet some distancing of ourselves from modern economic theory is necessary in starting an investigation of a foreign world, in order to let the economic operations of that world display themselves in their own documentation. We must construct some kind of intellectual tabula rasa for use in studying an area which is far removed in time and from a documentary point of view relatively unknown. When we speak of Economics of the Ancient World, we usually think of the work pioneered by Rostovtzeff and his followers, of the interpretation of history from an economic point of view, and of the study of epigraphic and papyrological materials which bear on costs and commodities. But there is a much earlier layer of historical material, which strangely is incorporated in the quasi-religious cloak of Greek Mythology. When one compares the myths of ancient Greece with those of ancient India, one sees that the Indian myths are essentially spiritual in nature, while the Greek myths show a disorganized array of unconvincing religion, erratic personal histories, and what appear to be fragmented chapters in the history of the rise of civilization after the last glacial retreat. It is the thesis of this paper that parts of the early Greek, and even the pre-Greek historical record became embalmed in the Greek myths, which themselves were rigidified into literary storytelling by the time of the Hellenistic academies, and finally petrified into the "myth systems" of Apollodoros and others, before being buried by a hostile Christianity.

Ancient Rome from the Earliest Times Down to 476 A.D., by Robert F. Pennell In this 1890 book, Ancient Rome from the Earliest Times Down to 476 A.D., Robert F.

This war was called the Titanomachy. Chris Camfield tells what else we know about it.

South America The Cradle of Western Civilization The civilization of ancient Greece flowered more than 2500 years ago but it influences the way we live today. Greece is a peninsula in southeastern Europe. The people of the region attempted to explain the world through the laws of nature. They made important discoveries in science. They developed democracy, where people govern themselves rather than being ruled by a king. The Greeks also valued beauty and imagination. They wrote many stories and plays that continue to be performed today. The ancient Greeks developed a great deal of what we take for granted. This is why Greece is often known as the Cradle of Western Civilization. The people of ancient Greece could not farm most of their mountainous, rocky land, so they became excellent sailors who traveled to distant lands. The Greeks learned the alphabet from the Phoenicians, a sea faring people from modern day Syria and Lebanon. The mountainous land also meant that it was difficult to invade Greek lands. The Balkan Mountains in the north and the Mediterranean Sea form barriers that made it difficult for outsider to attack.

179. Department Of Archaeology - University Of Nottingham University of Nottingham survey used to identify buildings and roads in the southern half of the ancient Macedonian city of Philippi. http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/archaeology/research/balkans/greece/gcity.html

Department of Archaeology ARCHAEOLOGY RESEARCH AT NOTTINGHAM Greece - the city: Philippi in Macedonia Philippi: the results of a geophysical survey by A.G. Poulter and P. Strange Introduction At the invitation of Professor G. Gounaris (University of Thessaloniki), a geophysical survey was carried out to assess the potential of the method for exploring the interior of the ancient city (12th - 17th July 1995). It appears that the city was laid out on two different street-grids. The first respects the via Egnatia as it traverses the city from the western 'Crenides' gate (B11) as far as its junction with the 'diagonal road' (M7). The agora as well as insulae to the south-west and south-east of it follow a north-east by south-west alignment. However, the two buildings in the southern half of the lower city (G4, K5) follow a different orientation (north-west by south-east) which suggests that this part of the city was laid out at right angles to the 'diagonal road' (H5-O7). The primary objective of the programme was to ascertain whether resistivity surveying could locate buildings and roads within the southern, lower part of the city. Since all three areas lay south of the 'diagonal road', it was reasonable to expect that all buildings and roads located would follow the grid-plan used in the lower, southern part of the city. Conditions appeared propitious: paved roads survived and excavation had demonstrated that walls of buildings north of the 'diagonal road' were preserved almost to topsoil. Consequently it seemed likely that split-dipole resistivity surveying might prove successful. The survey was carried out in three areas (FIGS. 1 and 2). In each case, survey squares were 20 x 20 m in size and readings were taken at one metre intervals, a procedure which proved a reasonable compromise between the need to make rapid progress and the need to provide an adequate resolution for buried features. The location of the areas was constrained by field boundaries. Unfortunately, this meant that the surveys had to be carried out on the same orientation as the anticipated layout of the street-grid.
