Extractions: Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Pappus of Alexandria is the last of the great Greek geometers and one of his theorems is cited as the basis of modern projective geometry. Our knowledge of Pappus's life is almost nil. There appear in the literature one or two references to dates for Pappus's life which must be wrong. There is a reference in the Suda Lexicon (a work of a 10th century Greek lexicographer) which states that Pappus was a contemporary of Theon of Alexandria (see for example [1]):- Pappus, of Alexandria, philosopher, lived about the time of the Emperor Theodosius the Elder [379 AD - 395 AD], when Theon the Philosopher, who wrote the Canon of Ptolemy , also flourished. This would seem convincing but there is a chronological table by Theon of Alexandria which, when being copied, has had inserted next to the name of Diocletian (who ruled 284 AD - 305 AD) "at that time wrote Pappus". Similar insertions give the dates for Ptolemy Hipparchus and other mathematical astronomers.

Extractions: Brown University Library possess a copy of each sixteenth-century translation of Euclid's Elements of Geometry into a modern language. These vernacular editions, grouped around the first Latin edition of 1482, are displayed in chronological sequence, from 1533 (Greek) to 1594 (Arabic). All copies are opened at Book I, proposition 47, "Pythagoras' Theorem," which asserts: "In right-angled triangles the square of the side opposite the right angle is equal to the sum of the squares of the sides containing the right angle." Most of the translations provide proof of this equation (a + b = c using a geometrical construction known as "the bride's chair." Euclid's Elements of Geometry has been a primary mathematics text for more than two thousand years. It is a compilation of early Greek mathematical knowledge, synthesized and systematically presented by Euclid in ca. 300 BC. Books I-IV are devoted to plane geometry, Book V deals with the theory of proportions, and Book VI with the similarity of plane figures. Books VII-IX are on number theory, Book X on commensurability and incommensurability, Books XI-XII explore three dimensional geometric objects, and Book XIII deals with the construction of the five regular solids. Later non-Euclidian additions include, Book XIV, which is thought to have been contrbuted by Hypsciles (ca. 200 BC), and Book XV, which may have been added by John of Damascus, or by a 6th-century pupil of Isadoros of Miletos.

Extractions: Orpheus, by Gustave Moreau Gustave Moreau (April 6, 1826 - April 18, 1898) was a French Symbolist painter. He was born and died in Paris. The main focus of his work lies in the illustration of Christian and mythological figures. As a painter of the literary idea rather than the visual image, his pictures appealed to the imagination of certain Symbolist writers and artists, who saw him as the pre-cursor to their movement. Click the link for more information. In Greek For other meanings see Greece (disambiguation). Greece is a country in the southeast of Europe on the southern tip of the Balkan peninsula. It is bounded on land by Bulgaria, Macedonia and Albania to the north, to the east by Turkey and the waters of the Aegean Sea and to the west and south by the Ionian and Mediterranean Seas. Regarded by many as the cradle of Western civilisation, Greece has a long and rich history during which it spread its influence over three continents.

Semele Roman Roman mythology did not exist in the sense of Greek mythology.

Extractions: One cannot accuse Llewelyn Morgan of being coy. He begins the printed version of his doctoral thesis written at Cambridge under the supervision of Philip Hardie by proposing to read Virgil's four books on agriculture "as a thoroughgoing exercise in Octavianic propaganda, a precise response to the requirements of the regime headed by Octavian which at the time of the poem's completion was emerging from the chaos of the Civil Wars; a text, in other words, capable of yielding a highly optimistic purport". Hereby he not only turns against the predominant interpretation of the Georgics as a document of Virgil's dark vision of the world, but also against "the current author-orientated emphasis" (p.13). It seems doubtful, however, whether the Georgics can be explained simply by referring to the contemporary political necessities. Such an interpretation does not leave any room for e.g. what Friedrich Klingner has called Virgil's "innere Zwiesprache mit Lucrez". It seems equally difficult to account for what the same scholar termed "Die Einheit des Virgilischen Lebenswerkes".

The following (translated) quotation from Pausanias, "Description of Greece" 5.7 ff may explain at least some of the source of the confusion ... '"This amber of which the statue of Augustus is made, when found native in the sand of the Eridanus, is very rare and precious to men for many reasons; the other 'amber' is an alloy of gold and silver".

Extractions: Aedon Aedon was the wife of king Zethus of Thebes and mother of their son Itylus. Because she only had one child, she was so jealous of her sister-in-law Niobe, who had seven sons, that she tried to kill Niobe's elder. By mistake she killed her own son, and Zeus transformed her into a nightingale forever crying for her son. Aedon also figure in other stories under the name Procne. She is in this version the daughter of the king of Athens, Pandion, and has a sister by the name of Philomela. Procnes husband was the Thracian hero Tereus, with whom she had the son Itys. Tereus one day raped Philomela and cut out her tounge, so she would not tell on him, but she embroided what had happened, revealing everyhting to Procne. The sisters conspired a terrible revenge: they killed Itys and served him as stew to hid father. Outraged with horror when he relized the truth, Tereus chased the two sisters with an axe. The gods took mercy on them though, at Procne was turned into a nightingale and Philomela into a swallow. Tereus was transformed to a hoopoe.

Extractions: John Addington Symonds Prophet-Scholar of Holy Homoeros [As of yet, I have not been able to consult too many of Symonds' works first-handespecially A Problem in Greek Ethics and thus I rely greatly on the words of others for the details of his life. However, I have excerpted the majority of his essay on Antinous below, so that one can read not only of the glories of the Bithynian, but also see Symonds' scholarship and the way in which his exposition of Antinous prefigures many ideas which are being realized in the modern cult of Antinous and the practices of the Ecclesia Antinoi. Any of his words I have been able to find excerpted in other works, meanwhile, will have to do; and I have not limited myself to those which simply cast him in a good light, in an effort to get to know the real person behind our bestowed laurels of sanctity.] From Conner, Sparks, and Sparks, Cassell's Encyclopedia of Queer Myth, Symbol, and Spirit Symonds, John Addington Homoerotically inclined British writer and classicist. in a letter to Edmund Gosse dated February 28, 1890, Symonds wrote: "You will not doubt, I am sure, that what you call 'the central Gospel' of that essay on the Greeks, has been the light and leading of my own life." Symonds' journey toward the recognition of his own homosexuality, as well as the interrelationship of homoeroticism and the realm of spirit, commenced around 1848, when he began having dreams in which naked sailors would appear to him and he would have sex with them. Around this time, he was also experimenting in same-sex eroticism with an older cousin, especially fellatio. Around 1855, these dreams faded, but were replaced by dreams of a "beautiful ideal youth, who clasped him round." Later, this vision was displaced by dreams of "the large erect organs of naked young grooms or peasants." In 1858, when Symonds was eighteen, he read both the
