Ancient Greek sculpture

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to go to a greek orthodox baptism. I am agnostic so outside of weddings I do not attend religious ceremonies and have never attended a baptism before. I am not very comfortable in church settings but this is was an important event because it was a close friends event and I knew is was very important to her. The event was on sunday so on saturday evening I called the mother of the baby to ask what the dress code was, if I should bring anything outside the gift

misogynistic evidence from ancient Greek literature. Consumption Meanwhile, assiduous ‘ethnography (Harrison et al., 2014, p.14)’ provides evidence of the consumption habits of Ancient Greeks. High end pottery, designed to promote the owners status, included the addition of precious metals. Society’s elite paradigm of leisure included boisterous ‘drinking games (Hughes et al., 2014, p.92)’. This Stamnos functioned as a vessel for mixing wine enjoyed by heavy drinking Greeks who seldom enjoyed their

One of the most popular conflicts from classical Greek literature is the one found between Antigone and Creon in Sophocles’ play Antigone. After a lethal conflict that left both of Antigone’s brothers dead, Creon ordered that Polyneices (one of Antigone’s brothers who fought against Creon’s state) be denied a proper and honorable burial. Antigone opposed Creon’s order; her own religious faith to the Greek Gods demanded that she defy the decree and bury Polynices anyways. This tension between the

because no one is. I agree with Saleem because God created everyone to be unique. The evidence is that Blue was not a normal color for ancient Greek, Salem’s accent in his work, and kids’ books where the characters are white. To continue this essay, I will transition into the first piece of evidence which is about blue in ancient Greek life. In ancient Greek painting there was very few colors used and that was a red that looked like wine. This red was normal to them they didn’t know of many other

It is a strange concept in English, but the Greek could convey the idea in one word because of the changes in the word, adding various endings to modify meaning. Therefore, the ancient Greek might say one word, "guard", and we would translate it in English "You all must guard yourselves." It is one of the reasons the Koine Greek language is so fascinating and difficult to translate sometimes. The imperative in the verse at hand ("becoming")

Indeed, it was not until 1806 that Luigi Lanzi (OU REF) claimed that Etruscan antiquities were actually Greek not Italian. A rapid upward trajectory soon entered the public discourse. British ambassador to Naples Sir William Hamilton (1731-1803) shifted from character appraisal in publications of his own collections. Instead, he focused on the style of painting

In the times of ancient Greece, there were ample tales, myths, and legends surrounding the realm of the sea; many of which included fearsome beasts, epic struggles, and angered gods. There are tales of vengeance, spite, cruelty, and rage, but there are also those of understanding, compassion, helpfulness, and benevolence. When one subjects many of the more malevolent (and sometimes disturbing) tales to closer inspection, it becomes fairly evident that a great number of these stories use a feminine

The book, Studies in Galatians, by Tom Wacaster was an excellent study and very well put together. I felt he did a great job gathering others together to elaborate on some of the main points from this book. From the beginning, the author let you know, in the introduction a specific direction he was aiming toward even though the introduction seem to be a bit long. However, after I looked at it upon completion of reading, I appreciated it more than when I read it the first time. When you take second

E., the Greek poet Hesiod produced what is generally thought to be the oldest surviving Greek poetic works. During this time, Greece was near the middle of its Archaic period, a period of technological, social, political, and cultural innovations. This was the period in which the first true alphabet system arose, the system which allowed Hesiod and other poets like him to record permanently the oral stories and lyrics so important to Greek culture. This was also the time in which the Greek polis emerged

A murderer. A liar. A philander. A Narcissist. Is this the kind of man children should model after as their hero? The Ancient Greek poem The Odyssey by Greek poet Homer, tells the story of great Odysseus, the king of Ithaca who was sent off to fight in war for ten years, and his long journey home. After the war, Odysseus showed that he was not the leader and king that his crew had thought. For instance, Odysseus showed many more remarkable character flaws, such as continual disrespect to the Gods
