"If you know that I am an unbeliever, then you know me better than I do myself. I may be an unbeliever, but I am an unbeliever who has a nostalgia for a belief." (1966) "The mark which has dominated all my work is this longing for life, this sense of exclusion, which doesn't lessen but augments this love of life." [Interview in documentary, late 1960s] ...

This section deals with conflict between nuclear genes. Intragenomic conflict - Meiotic drive. All nuclear genes in a given diploid genome cooperate because each allele have an equal probability of being present in a gamete. This fairness is guaranteed by meiosis. But there is one type of gene, called segregation distorter, that cheats during meiosis or gametogenesis and thus are present in more than a half of the functional gametes. The most studied examples are sd in Drosophila melanogaster (fruit ...

Euripides first competed in the famous Athenian dramatic festival (the Dionysia) in 455 BCE, one year after the death of Aeschylus. He came in third, because he refused to cater to the fancies of the Judges. It was not until 441 BCE that he won first place, and over the course of his lifetime, Euripides claimed a mere four victories. He was a frequent target of Aristophanes' humor. He appears as a character in The Acharnians, Thesmophoriazusae, and most memorably in The Frogs, where Dionysus travels to Hades to bring Euripides back from the dead. After a competition of poetry, Di ...

One of Code Pink's campaigns is in opposition to war toys, claiming that such toys are "pro-war propaganda disguised as innocent toys." Along those lines, Code Pink advocates strategies its members can pursue, including: Dressing in pink camouflage gear or wearing an elf costume while distributing fliers outside retailers selling "war toys" Singing alternative carols such as "War to the World" and "Stuck Inside a War-torn Wonderland," to the tunes of popular Christmas carols.

Most recently, Code Pink has staged demonstrations at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, protesting the military's deployment in Iraq. The protest has been criticized by many as overly confrontational, using caskets as props and offensive slogans. Allegations say that the military members have been directly harrassed at the facility. In January of 2006, Code Pink forgot to renew their permit for the demonstration. More conservative activists were able to secure it instead, and the location is currently o ...

According to the Greek mythology, Colchis was a fabulously wealthy land situated on the mysterious periphery of the heroic world. Here in the sacred grove of the war god Ares, King Aeetes hung the Golden Fleece until it was seized by Jason and the Argonauts. Colchis was also the land where the mythological Prometheus was punished by being chained to a mountain while an eagle ate at his liver for revealing to humanity the secret of fire. Amazons also were said to be of Scythian origin from Colchis. The main mythical characters from Colchis are Aeetes, ...

Pandeism (or a Pandæan religion) was originally used by Godfrey Higgins, a historian of religions, [1] to describe a religious society that he purported had existed from ancient times, and at one time had been known throughout the entire world. Higgins believed this practice continued in secret until the time of his writing, in the 1830s in an area stretching from Greece to India. The term was used in this context in the posthumous release of Higgens' 1833 treatise titled Anacalypsis: An Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil of the Saitic Isis: Or an Inqui ...

Some post-Homeric sources claim that in order to keep Achilles safe from the war, Thetis (or, in some versions, Peleus) hid the young man at the court of Lycomedes, king of Skyros. There, Achilles was disguised as a girl and lived among Lycomedes' daughters under the name "Pyrrha" (the red-haired girl). With Lycomedes' daughter Deidamia, Achilles fathered a son, Neoptolemus (also called Pyrrhus, after his father's alias). According to this story, Odysseus learned from the prophet Calchas that the Achaeans would be unable to capture Troy with ...

It is impossible to determine if the tragedies were performed on stage: there is no evidence for either side. The German scholar Leo stated that they were recitation dramas but this reflected his conception of what a drama ought to be and this in turn was based on his conception of Greek tragedy. They have been successfully staged in modern times. The dating of the tragedies is highly problematic in the absence of any ancient references. A relative chronology has been suggested on metrical grounds but scholars remain divided. It is in ...

The Mother Goddess as worshiped in Phrygia was Cybele. In her typical Phrygian form she wears a long belted dress, a polos, or high cylindrical headdress and a veil covering the whole body. The later version of Cybele was established by Pheidias' pupil, the sculptor Agoracritos, and became the image most widely adopted by Cybele's expanding following, both in the Aegean world and at Rome, It shows her humanized though still enthroned, her hand resting on an attendant lion and the other holding the tambouri ...

Herodotus, i. 101, lists the names of six Mede tribes or castes. Some of these are similar to tribal names of the Scythians, suggesting a definitive link between these two groups. The Busae group is thought to derive from the Persian term buza meaning indigenous (i.e. not Iranian). Whether this was based on an originally Iranian term, or their own name, is unknown. The second group is called the Paraetaceni, or Parae-tak-(eni) in Persian, and denotes nomadic inhabitants of the moun ...

Queen of Ghosts a title associated with Hecate due to the belief that she can both prevent harm from leaving, but also allow harm to enter from the spirit world. Hecate thus has a role and special power in graveyards. This association also played a large part in the idea of Hecate as a lunar goddess. ...

Hecate is a pre-Olympian chthonic goddess. The Greek sources don't offer a story of her parentage, beyond the Theogony, or of her relations in the Greek pantheon: Sometimes Hecate is a Titaness, daughter of Perses and Asteria, and a mighty helper and protector of mankind. Her continued presence was explained by asserting that, because she was the only Titan that aided Zeus in the battle of gods and Titans, she was not banished into the underworld realms after their defeat by the Olympians. It is also told that she is the daughter of Demeter or Pheraia. Hecate, like Demeter, was a goddess of the earth ...

The figure of Hecate can often be associated with the figure of Isis in Egyptian myth (mainly due to her role as sorceress). In Hebrew myth she is often compared to the figure of Lilith and the Whore of Babylon in later Christian tradition. Both were symbols of liminal points, and Lilith also has a role in sorcery. Some scholars ultimately compare her to the Virgin Mary. Before she became associated with Greek mythology, she had many similarities with Artemis (wilderness, and watching over wedding ceremonies) and Hera (child rearing and the protection of young me ...

Hecate makes several appearances in William Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth (c 1606); she is represented as a goddess or demon who commands the three witches. There is some evidence to suggest that the scene was not written by Shakespeare, but was added during a revision by Thomas Middleton, who used material from his own play The Witch (1615). Hecate is used by William Blake in a number of his paintings and poems. ...
