Titres dans Grèce

Nel tracciare un profilo completo dell'identità e della vita femminile in età greca, il libro parte dall'idea che la civiltà (maschile) greca ebbe della disuguaglianza dei sessi e dell'identità della donna, per poi illustrare il corso della vita femminile: dalla nascita all'educazione, al matrimonio, alla vecchiaia. Sono passati in rassegna i diversi ruoli sociali moglie e madre, ma anche schiava, prostituta, cortigiana e sono esaminati realtà e mito del potere femminile, dall'utopia di Aristofane alle regine ellenistiche.

Es la historia más antigua del mundo, y su relato fue recogido por el poeta griego Homero. ¿Quiénes eran estos griegos y qué les llevó a luchar durante tanto tiempo, tan lejos de casa? ¿Quiénes eran los troyanos y cómo pudieron defenderse de los poderosos griegos durante diez largos años?

The Greek general and king, Alexander the Great, is a name you might have heard before. Although his historical journey varies greatly from the stories and rumors about him, he did accomplish many victories in Asia and Europe in his conquest to rule the world. In this guide, we will go over his appearance, his character, his many battles, his clever military strategies, and the regions he conquered. His vast empire stretched farther than much else had before his time. But eventually, it became divided, and the throne was being fought over.

In ancient Greece and across the Mediterranean, kingdoms strive for dominance. The great powers of Carthage and Egypt look on with avarice as the might of the Greeks is spent warring between themselves, oblivious to external dangers. Year in and year out, the people suffer at the hands of their rulers and the famine and pestilence that comes with conflict. The great rulers of the day are themselves helpless to end this cycle of destruction. While life on the battlefield is cheap, the slave trade flourishes through the years of interminable battle and death.

The need to eat and drink is a biological necessity for everyone, but along with that, food and drink are often at the very center of social life. This was no different in ancient Greece, but if anything, the social importance placed on food and wine in the Greek world was even more pronounced and had profound consequences for the rest of the world. It was through the ability to create a food surplus that the ancient Greeks were able to establish their poleis and, from these, go on to develop the political and social structures that built the backbone of Western civilization.

"L'amore. Cominciamo da qui, parliamo d'amore. Ma per farlo dobbiamo ricordare che anche i sentimenti hanno una storia. Tutto cambia nel tempo, persino questo sentimento che una retorica tanto facile quanto ingannevole ci spinge a considerare immutabile. Dimentichiamo allora la concezione romantica e cerchiamo di capire che cos'era l'amore per i greci, cerchiamo, addentrandoci in un mondo lontano, di cogliere i diversi volti dell'amore.

Auf einprägsame und humorvolle Weise gelingt es Anthony Kenny, auch Lesern ohne Vorkenntnisse, die Geschichte der Philosophie näher zu bringen. Von Pythagoras über Sokrates bis hin zu Platon führt er uns mit Leichtigkeit durch die antiken Anfänge der Philosophie und stellt einleuchtend dar, warum diese lang vergangene Epoche des Denkens in der heutigen Gesellschaft aktueller denn je ist.

Eine fesselnde Geschichte der Philosophie, die Kenny mit so klaren Worten zu erklären vermag, wie sonst kaum ein Philosoph - ideal für jeden Einsteiger. Das 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. war das der großen Philosophen. Nachdem Sokrates starb, wurde kurz darauf Aristoteles geboren. Bereits im Jugendalter verließ der Makedonier seine Heimat und ging nach Athen, um von Platon unterrichtet zu werden. Der Hörer wird hineingezogen in eine antike Welt, geprägt von geistiger Stärke und philosophischen Theorien.

Über die antiken Frauen Griechenlands ist bis jeher wenig bekannt. Anhand des Beispiels von Xanthippe, der Frage des Philosophen Sokrates, zeichnet Michael Weithmann ein Bild der Frauen der Antike. Auf unterhaltsame und gleichzeitig fundierte Weise werden alte Lebenswelten wieder zum Leben erweckt, welche unterschiedlicher nicht hätten sein könnten.

The Minoan-Mycenaean Empire is one of the most compelling of the lost civilizations, so how does an advanced civilization vanish as if into thin air? This kingdom wasn’t limited to Greece and its Mediterranean tributaries, the Mycenaean Empire of Greek gods extended around the world, even into the Americas. Their technology included analog computers, humanoid robots, talking oracles, flying machines, transparent windows, hot and cold running water, flushing toilets, sewer systems, loose-stone pyramids that pulled water out of the air, and transcontinental ships with voice navigation.

Forse esiste una "retorica della Grecia", come ne esiste una di Roma, che altera un po' le proporzioni del suo contributo. Ma nessuno può negare ch'esso sia stato immenso e che soprattutto siano stati vari, vivaci e affascinanti i suoi protagonisti Indro Montanelli. I greci di Montanelli sono nostri contemporanei. Molte le affinità e i confronti anche paradossali: Omero era il "poeta della Confindustria", Platone un totalitario che "se vivesse oggi, riceverebbe il premio Stalin".

Il volume ricostruisce storia, società e cultura dell'antica Sparta dal X secolo al 146 a.C. La prima parte segue lo sviluppo storico della città dalla fondazione attorno al 900, con la creazione del sistema politico e militare attribuito a Licurgo, all'ascesa di Sparta come potenza egemone in Grecia. La seconda parte affronta tematicamente l'organizzazione della vita sociale di Sparta. Gli ultimi capitoli trattano gli anni della lega del Peloponneso e della guerra contro Atene e la successiva decadenza di Sparta come potenza indipendente.

Helen of Troy has been the inspiration for writers for centuries. According to the myth, her beauty was the cause of the Trojan War that would rage on for 10 long years, a war that brought death and suffering to thousands. Because of the universal appeal of the story of Helen of Troy, differing versions of the tale can be found throughout history. From the ancient poet Homer to the dramatist Euripides, from classical academic scholars to Stephen Fry to Hollywood, Helen seems to continue to intrigue us all.

Hace miles de años, en la Antigüedad, las ayas griegas contaban a los niños historias a las que llamaban mythoi, que no se diferenciaban en esencia de las narraciones que solemos calificar como cuento y que tratan sobre sucesos extraordinarios, ya sean reales o inventados. Los mythoi tenían como protagonistas a seres divinos o semidivinos objeto de culto entre el pueblo griego. También tenían como protagonistas a héroes que podían contar con el favor, o disfavor, de esos dioses. Hoy día esas viejas historias han quedado sepultadas bajo capas de olvido.

Zwischen dem 9. und 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. wuchs die Bevölkerung Griechenlands in ungeahntem Ausmaß, von etwa 800.000 Menschen auf bis zu 13 Millionen. Etwa eine Viertelmillion davon lebte in Athen. Die durchschnittliche Größe der städtischen Haushalte wuchs in dieser Zeit beträchtlich, eine Tatsache, die darauf hindeutet, dass Nahrungsmittel plötzlich in ausreichendem Maße zur Verfügung standen, um größere Familien viel effektiver gesund und am Leben zu erhalten als noch ein Jahrtausend zuvor.

To many in the ancient world, their gods and goddesses were all around them and could be seen daily in nature, which meant that nearly every kind of animal, both domestic and wild, was associated with a god or goddess. In places like Egypt and Greece, deities and other mythological characters were often depicted with human bodies and animal heads, and various Greek religious rituals relied on sacrificing animals. Animals were constantly involved in the core elements of Greek society and cults.

Classical Greece is a period of only 200 years, but it is filled with exciting events that shaped the political thought of modern Western civilization. In these 200 years, the idea of democracy was born and developed, although their concept of democracy was much different than in modern times. Through the development of the polis, the ancient Greek society developed into its recognizable form of those with political rights and those without them.

According to the Greeks, there were many gods and goddesses in ancient Greece. These gods had control over many aspects of life on Earth. They were, in many respects, quite human. They could be friendly or nasty, enraged or happy, harsh or loving. They fell in love with one another, fought with one another, and even stole from one another.
