| ARTICLES RELATED TO Brian Cox | | | |  Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Hermann Göring - In fictionIn Philip José Farmer's Riverworld, a reincarnated Göring becomes a missionary for the Church of the Second Chance, a pacifist religion.
Philip K Dick's 1962 science-fiction alternate history novel The Man in the High Castle mentions Göring, who, by 1962 is aging, morbidly obese, and the subject of much rumor and speculation regarding his indulgent lifestyle (which is seen by some as akin to that of a corrupt Roman emperor). He resides in his large estate within the Alps.
Göring was an early fo ...

In perhaps his most well known role, other than as himself, Belli appeared in a 1968 episode, "And the Children Shall Lead", of Star Trek, which has often been labeled "the worst Star Trek episode of the entire series." In it he played Gorgan, an e ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Iliad - The relationship of Achilles and Patroclus It is important to note, before reading the rest of this section, that the Ancient Mediterranean world had vastly different attitudes toward gender and sexuality than those found in twenty-first century America or Europe. To wit, there was no term or concept of homosexuality. In addition, much of what is known about ancient Greek sexual practices and beliefs is based on writers and artists who lived about 200 years after Homer's epics were created; it is unknown how much these practices and attitudes changed from the time Homer's epics were ...

| | | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Tripartite System - Structure
Tripartite System - Organisation.
Under the Tripartite System there were three categories of state-run secondary schools. Each was designed with a specific purpose in mind, aiming to impart a range of skills appropriate to the needs and future careers of their pupils.
Grammar Schools - These schools were intended to teach a highly academic curriculum, teaching students to deal with abstract concepts. There was a strong focus on intellectual subjects, such as literature, classics and complex mathemati ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Tripartite System - Grammars in Northern Ireland While vestiges of the Tripartite system persist in several counties, the largest area where the 11-plus system remains in operation is Northern Ireland. Original proposals for switching to the Comprehensive system were proposed in 1971, but the suspension of devolution meant that they were never acted upon. As a result, each year around 16,000 pupils in the area take the eleven plus transfer test. Pupils are rated between grades A and D, with preferred access to schools being given to those with higher grades. Around 1/3 of pupils who take the exam are given places in a grammar school. Stude ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Troy film - Finance and Reaction Troy screening's have earned its makers $133 million in the United States. Having cost $175 million to make, some thought that it was a flop - a complete financial failure. Many critics anticipated the failure when Troy barely missed the $50 million mark on its opening US weekend and wrote off the film. Some critics had a tendency to lump Troy into the category of recent failed historical epics, which have also included Alexander (2004), The Alamo (2004) and Kingdom of Heaven (2005). Troy had ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Melvin Belli - Personal life and finances Belli was married six times. His marriage to the former Lia Triff ended with an scandalous, acrimonious and bitter divorce proceeding in 1988, in which Belli was fined $1000 for calling his wife "El Trampo", accused his wife of throwing their pet dog off the Golden Gate Bridge, and was ultimately compelled to pay her an estimated $15 million. Belli married his fifth wife, Nancy Ho, eleven weeks before he died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 88.
Belli's firm filed for bankruptcy protection in December, 1995, not long before his deat ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Marie Antoinette - Childhood Marie Antoinette was the sixteenth child (the youngest and most beautiful daughter) of the Austrian Archduchess, later Queen and Empress, Maria Theresa and Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor. She was born at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna on 2 November 1755. She was christened Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna. Maria was in honour of the Virgin Mary, Antonia in honour of Saint Anthony of Padua, Josepha in honour of her elder brother, Archduke Josef, and Johanna in honour of Saint John the Evangelist.

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Marie Antoinette - Coronation and reign Louis XVI's coronation took place at Rheims during the height of a bread shortage in Paris. This is the context in which she is incorrectly quoted as joking, "If they have no bread, then let them eat cake!" ("Qu'ils mangent de la brioche.") However, there is no evidence that this phrase was ever uttered by Marie Antoinette. When Marie Antoinette actually heard about the bread shortage she wrote, "It is quite certain that in seeing the people who treat us so well despite their own misfortune, we are more obliged than ever to work hard ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Marie Antoinette - Reputation Marie Antoinette went down in history as a shallow, weak, self-indulgent and stupid person. Only royalists, who saw her as a martyr, viewed her any differently. They later recovered her body and reburied it in the Bourbon dynasty crypt in Paris, and they also retrieved the bodies of Louis XVI and Princess Elisabeth (who was executed in 1794).
In recent years, however, this has somewhat changed. In 1933, Stefan Zweig wrote a biography of her "Marie Antoinette: The Portrait of an Ordinary Woman," in which he argued the queen achieved gr ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Red Dragon - Response Red Dragon was a box office success, earning $92,930,005 in the U.S. [1]. However, the film received a considerable amount of negative critical reviews. While some reviewers, such as Roger Ebert, were enthusiastic about the remake, many critics compared it unfavorably to Manhunter:
“The best thing about Red Dragon, the second adaptation of Thomas Harris' 1981 novel, is that it reminds you how scary and seminal the first adaptation—Michael Mann's Manhunter (198 ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Iliad - The Iliad as oral tradition The Iliad and the Odyssey were considered by Greeks of the classical age and after as the most important works in Ancient Greek literature, and were the basis of Greek pedagogy in antiquity. As the center of the rhapsode's repertoire, their recitation was a central part of Greek religious festivals. The book would be spoken or sung all night (modern readings last around 20 hours), with aud ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Iliad - Technical features and translations The poem is written in dactylic hexameter. The Iliad comprises roughly 16,000 lines of verse. Later Greeks divided it into twenty-four books, and this convention has lasted to the present day with little change.
The Iliad has been translated into English for centuries. George Chapman did a translation in the 16th century which John Keats praised in his sonnet, On First Looking into Chapman's Homer ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Iliad - Major characters As an epic, the Iliad contains a sometimes confusingly great number of characters. The latter half of the Iliad's second book (often called the Catalogue of Ships) is devoted entirely to listing the various commanders. Many of the battle scenes in the Iliad feature bit characters who are quickly slain. See Trojan War for a detailed list of participating armies and warriors.
