Saint Jerome: Eusebius Hieronymous Sophronius

Netherlandish use of triptychs—three distinct art pieces that simultaneously exist as individual images and as a collective picture—usually were presented as devotional images and altarpieces. Joachim Patinir’s triptych, The Penitence of Saint Jerome (c. 1512-1515, Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY), employs both the same form of traditional triptychs and the Netherlandish tradition of extended panoramic landscapes; however, the triptych breaks traditional convention.

The results of one’s involvement in society’s conflicts can be devastating. The short story “Gregory” by Panos Ioannides creates a setting where the characters are involved in the 1925 revolutionary conflict between Britain and Cyprus. Consequently, the plot focuses around an executioner who has the order to kill a British captive named Gregory, who became his friend. To make matters worse, fellow soldiers inform the executioner that he must to kill Gregory or else the Headquarters will execute him for failure to obey orders. Therefore, he struggles with the decision to either please his society or stay true to his friendship with Gregory. The author emphasizes this difficulty with use of mood, stream of consciousness, foreshadowing and visual imagery. Thus, Panos Ioannides short story “Gregory” develops the idea that society’s expectations and relationships can influence one’s moral decisions and create consequences.

Polybius, a Greek commander who spent years on military campaigns with Roman armies in the second century B.C.E. (Hunt, Al., 2012, 160) Polybius venerated the Roman camp but it was army discipline that authentically fascinated him. It was rigorous to the point of inhumanity. Polybius believed the ideal Centurion was instilled with the Core Values of the Arête, the Greek value of competitive individual excellence. This commitment or drive imbues a zealousness of self-sacrifice, accolade, obligation, and a commitment to culminate ones ' life in the accommodation rather than peregrinate home in disgrace. Utilizing this philosophy a committed army, led by Centurions who Rome wanted “not so much to be bold and eager to take risks, but rather to be capable of leadership and steady and solid in character, nor do they want them to initiate attacks and precipitate battle”. (Vegetius, F. 2011, 176) It was prosperous in incrementing Rome 's elevate in a troglodytic time into a more Western Civilization.

A typical athlete story can now be known as a riches to rags story. Though there are positive and there are also negatives effects to this. Star athletes make so much money that it makes people sick, meanwhile it is also sickening our athletes mentally. The professional sporting world is now turning into a money-hungry occupation. Along with this hunger for cash comes a solid incentive for productivity.

Eusebius quotes the then-existent works of earlier writers like the Jewish historian Josephus, the philosopher Philo, Clement, Papias, and church writers like Dionysius of Corinth and Caius who lived before the year 100. In Book2, chapter14 of the Ecclesiastical History Eusebius recounts how the anti-Christian Simon Magus encountered Peter the apostle in Rome:

Justinian was a Latin-speaking Illyrian and was born of peasant stock in May 11, AD 483, in a small village called Tauresium, Macedonia. Justinianus was a Roman name that he took from his uncle, the emperor Justin I, to whom he owed his advancement. He also owed his uncle a great thank you because, his uncle legally adopted him and put him into important offices.In 525 he earned the title of caesar and, on April 4, 527, was made coemperor with the rank of augustus. While he was growing up with his successful uncle, his actual family was struggling to get on track. His father Sabbatius of Solovki was one of the founders of the Solovetsky Monastery. Savvaty was a monk at Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery. He heard of Valaam Monastery on the Lake

"What dear brothers, is more delightful than the voice of the Lord calling to us?" ~ Saint Benedict. Benedict was born on March 2, 480 in Norcia, Italy. As a child, Benedict attended primary school in his hometown. However, he then traveled to Rome to continue his studies in literature and law.

I have chosen to analyze, St. Jerome in the Wilderness of Chalcis, an oil painting by Pietro Faccini which can be found in the European collection at the Phoenix Art Museum. In this piece we see a depiction of the final moments of a man, who the title tells us is Saint Jerome. A scripture scholar believed to be born around 347, who was known for translating much of the Bible from greek to latin. In this painting by Faccini we see St. Jerome taking his final breath while resting in the arms of a young woman. However, St. Jerome and his caretaker are not alone, for there are seven other women displayed in the painting. Of the eight women in the room with St. Jerome, three seem to be of middle age, while the other four are young children or infants. While a single young woman hold St. Jerome in her arms, the other six are laying in

Justinian I Justinian had a very significant role in world history. There are many things that are overlooked when speaking of Justinian. For instance, Justinian was a great architect. Many times we overlook the little characteristics of Justinian and we focus on the code of Justinian.

The Roman world, having been divided in half following the death of Theodosius I would never again unite. While the Western Empire disintegrated under its own internal pressures and the barbarian menace while the Byzantine Empire to the east, stood firm during the time of crisis and prevailed, why this is the case is up to debate. Thus a close examination on how the Byzantine Empire used force and diplomacy to create stability during the reign of Theodosius II is necessary. However, to be able to understand why the Byzantine Empire was able to play the game of diplomacy so well especially during the reign of Theodosius II, a brief look into the how stability and unity was created in the Byzantine court must be taken into account. Additionally,

Constantine I was born in c. 280 in Naissus, Moesia (Now known as Syria). His father, Flavius Valerius Constantius, was an officer for the Roman Empire. His mothers’ name was Helena, who was a Christian from the beginning. (Editors) Constantine himself was sent to the court of Diocletian, the Eastern Roman emperor. There, Constantine was educated in Latin and Greek. He likely also witnessed the persecution of Christians. His father left his mother and married the stepdaughter of Maximian, the Western Roman emperor, in 289. Constantine's father became deputy emperor below Maximian in 293.

The period that Athens’ Sophocles lived in was a time of important changes to the traditional Greek ways of life. The most significant catalyst of change and concern of the period was democracy. From here stems ideas such as the nature, role and respect of and for the gods, and the individual. The drama of Antigone reflects these concerns in the context it was written through various ways.

Sophocles’ Antigone sheds light on some questions some of these include, as question one says, human laws versus divine laws, and loyalty to the family versus loyalty to the state. Sophocles writes about how one should always follow divine laws. He does this through the character of Antigone, one of Oedipus’ children. Antigone says that she must act as per the religious law, the law of higher God. Ismene, her sister and another child of Oedipus declares that she cannot go against the law of the citizens. Antigone, knowing full well the consequences of defying Creon, acts on her principles as she realizes that law of God demands the burial of a dead body, her

Morning has just arrived in Thebes and the news is arriving rapidly, Polynicus, the traitor, has been found buried. Multiple guards were stationed there to watch the body, yet somehow he has received the proper burial ritual without anyone being caught. Our new king, Creon, suspects that they have fallen to bribery, which everyone knows that money is the worst kind of evil. Although, the guard who reported this treason guarantees that, “I neither did the deed nor saw it done.” At the moment, Creon is furious because of this endeavor. He is taking immediate action by having the corpse unburied and looking for the suspect.
