43. Mighty Memnon
quintus of smyrna credits Memnon with bringing the countless tribes of his peoplewho live in Ethiopia, land of the black man, to Troy in support of its war
http://www.africawithin.com/tour/egypt/hn_memnon.htm
Mighty Memnon
Colossi of Memnon
The African Presence in Greek and Roman Mythology
According to Homer, "To Troy no hero came of nobler line, Or if nobler, Memnon, it was thine." In more recent times (late in the nineteenth century), Dr. Rufus Lewis Perry pronounced that: "The distinguished Cushite whom Homer calls Memnon came and went like a meteor in the galaxy of illustrious Ethiopian monarchs. But the poet in classic song and the historian in legendary tradition, have preserved enough of his brightness to indicate his rank and power among the contemporary potentates of the earth. He was king of the Ethiopians. He fought against the Greeks in the Trojan war; and after he had slain Antilochus, son of Nestor, was killed by Achilles." Dr. Perry concluded that, "Through slain by Achilles, Memnon is so embalmed in verse and prose by Homer, Hesiod, Virgil and others, that his name will last as long as the writings of these imperishable authors." by Runoko Rashidi Sources:

The Golden Prince(ss) Ancient warrior buried in golden armor sheds light on myth of the Amazons and origin of the runes pounds of marijuana to smoke for eternity. Both the evidence of their similar grave offerings as well as the testimony of ancient Greek and Roman authors tell us that both men and women enjoyed immense freedom, equality, prosperity, and health. Transgendered people of both sexes also played vital roles in Scythian culture. Besides the prevalent warrior-priestesses, several ancient authors mention the Scythian Enaree , or "not-warrior", biological males who adopted female clothing, language, mannerisms, and labor, sometimes serving as ritual leaders and divinatory resources. Dr. Jeannine Davis-Kimball, director of the Center for the Study of Eurasian Nomads (CSEN) located in Berkeley, has extensively researched the Enaree and has published several works on them using both Greco-Roman written sources as well as exhaustive physical evidence of their existence. One burial site of an honored Scythian warrior (of the Saka subgroup) was discovered in Issyk, Kazakhstan in 1969. A large burial mound (called a

K.R. Srinivasa Iyengar
On Sri Aurobindo's Ilion
Back to fragment of Ilion
When Collected Poems and Plays appeared in 1942 on Sri Aurobindo's seventieth birthday, readers were overwhelmed at once by the rich and varied content of the two sumptuous volumes. But easily the most unexpected item was Ilion - an epic fragment running to 381 lines - at the end of the second volume, given as if in illustration of Sri Aurobindo's views on the adaptability of quantitative hexameters in English verse. The footnote described it as the opening passages of "a poem left unfinished". Fifteen years later, the whole work was published as Ilion: An Epic in Quantitative Hexameters, comprising eight Books and an incomplete ninth Book. Except for the portion published in 1942, the rest of the poem hadn't evidently received final revision at Sri Aurobindo's hands. The conclusion too remains unconcluded, but K. D. Sethna - who has carefully examined the manuscript and seen the poem through the press - thinks that perhaps Sri Aurobindo did complete the poem, though the "last pages have somehow got lost".
Both Purani and Nirod record a conversation with Sri Aurobindo on 3 January 1939 when the discussion was on the hexameter. Sri Aurobindo mentioned that it was one of his Cambridge contemporaries, H. N. Ferrar, who had first given the clue to the hexameter in English by reading out a line from Arthur Hugh Clough perhaps the line: "He like a god came leaving his ample Olympian chamber" - and this had led to the composition of

Clauss University of Washington jjc@u.washington.edu The book under consideration is Malcolm Campbell's third major work on Apollonius, following his extremely useful Echoes and Imitations of Early Epic in Apollonius Rhodius (Leiden 1981) and Index Verborum in Apollonius Rhodium (Hildesheim 1983). Campbell's meticulous scholarship, familiar from those earlier volumes as well as from his commentaries on Quintus of Smyrna Posthomerica XII (Leiden 1981) and Moschus Europa (Hildesheim 1991), is much in evidence here. The reader should not be daunted by the 424 pages that cover 471 lines of Argonautica 3. The sheer variety of commentary, ranging from citation of parallels to in-depth interpretations of, for example, the tone of individual words or of the significance of pointed silences, should provide the stimulus to read the whole book from cover to cover. Campbell claims in his preface that it is his aim in this and subsequent volumes to provide a "comprehensive and fully documented commentary" on Book 3 of the

http://www.pitt.edu/~edfloyd/Summary.html
Edwin D. Floyd' s current research
Initially focused on Greek poetry from Homer (c. 725 B.C.) through the 5th century B.C., my research has also come to include Vedic and Sanskrit poetry (c. 1200-300 B.C.), along with Avestan and Latin literature, particularly as they reflect an Indo-European heritage. The bridge between the Greek and other traditions is provided by various Indo-European poetic formulas which appear in more than one language family. Through comparison of the Indic, Avestan, Greek, and Latin contexts in which such formulas are found, I show that one cannot always rely on simple chronological considerations in determining what is innovative or conservative in poetry. Homer, for example, though chronologically one of the earliest authors attested in Greek, is often more imaginative than post-Homeric Greek writers in his usage of a given formula. Moreover, an awareness of the interplay of tradition and innovation in Homer is important for understanding many passages in the Iliad and Odyssey. Penelope's opening address to the Stranger (the disguised Odysseus) at Odyssey 19.105 (τίς πόθεν εἰς ἀνδρῶν; ''Who and whence among men are you?''), for example, parallels a formula found in Sanskrit, Avestan, and later Greek, as well as (in modified form) in Latin. Comparison of the various extra-Homeric contexts with that found in the
