Everyone is searching for Mason. Zeus sent Hermes, and the Oracles have used their magic, with no success. A sparkle of hope arises when Eris, the goddess of Chaos, sends an invitation to her wedding engagement party. She’s holding Mason hostage, and Skylar and her friends only need permission to enter Eris’ world to rescue him.

Secrets of Greek Mysticism is the first spiritual book about the Greek gods and goddesses written by a native, practicing priest of Hellenic Polytheism. It goes beyond the simplistic and archetypical representation of the Greek pantheon and reintroduces the gods and goddesses from a theological perspective. Rather than presenting the gods and goddesses as symbolic, lifeless figures one can use to embellish spiritual practice, Secrets of Greek Mysticism teaches listeners how to find each god or goddess within them.

Uno de los libros más celebrados de Séneca. Este es uno de los libros más celebrados de Séneca. Los sabios consejos dirigidos a su discípulo Lucilio tienen una validez que traspasa las fronteras del tiempo. Séneca nos habla sobre la conveniencia de una relación de equilibrio con la naturaleza, sobre la importancia de las cosas que hacemos a diario, cómo llevar una vida sana y honesta, qué es licito y qué no, lo que nos enriquece y nos empobrece, lo que es bueno y lo que es malo sin caer en el maniqueísmo, sobre la importancia y el cultivo de la amistad.

"Держава" — діалог Платона, присвячений проблемі ідеальної держави. Він був створений у 360 р. до н.е. На думку Платона, держава є втіленням ідеї справедливості. В діалогові вперше чітко вказані філософи як люди, здатні осягнути те, що завжди тотожне самому собі. Діалог містить систематику й короткий критичний аналіз різновидів державного устрою (ідеальна «держава майбутнього», котра поки не існує, до нього не входить), розташованих Платоном за мірилом поступової деградації, що має вигляд еволюції в часі, але незворотність такої еволюції прямо не стверджується.

For centuries, Stoicism was the unofficial religion of the Roman world. The stress on endurance, self-restraint, and power of the will to withstand calamity can often seem cold-hearted. It is Epictetus, a lame former slave exiled by Emperor Domitian, who offers the most precise and humane version of Stoic ideals. The Discourses, assembled by his pupil Arrian, catch him in action, publicly setting out his views on ethical dilemmas. Enchiridion, or Manual, is a distillation of his teachings and an essential manual for those seeking contentment.

The Greek philosopher Socrates once asked his student Phaedrus: "Where have you come from and where are you going?" These two simple questions are at the heart of "real" Greek philosophy. We all want to know where the universe came from, and what is our place in it. We also want to choose the best, most fulfilling and happiest life for ourselves in the years ahead.

To listen to The Sayings of Marcus is to walk beside an emperor who governed not through cruelty or conquest, but by reason, restraint, and virtue. This collection presents rare, firsthand glimpses of Marcus Aurelius not as a distant symbol of power, but as a human being navigating the immense burden of imperial responsibility with unwavering Stoic discipline. Here is Marcus confronting betrayal with mercy, rejecting revenge in the arena, and speaking candidly of philosophy, war, death, and duty. His words, at once spare and profound, offer a timeless testament to character under pressure.

Perhaps the most important work in philosophy after the Allegory of the Cave. Incomparable logic and findings about the things that matter in life with clear, succinct prose.

Seneca (1 – 65 n. Chr.) war mehr als nur ein Philosoph: er war Staatsmann und Erzieher des despotischen Kaisers Nero. Wenn Seneca, Hauptvertreter der Denkrichtung der Stoa, praktische Lebenstipps erteilt, weiß er genau, wovon er spricht. Seneca weiß: ein gutes, glückliches und sinnvolles Leben ist möglich. Hier enthalten: Vom glücklichen Leben, Von der Kürze des Lebens, Von der Gemütsruhe, Vom Zorn.
