The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Great Books of the Western World - Second edition

In 1990 a second edition of the Great Books of the Western World was published, this time with updated translations and six more volumes of material covering the 20th century, an era of which the first edition was nearly devoid. A number of pre-20th century books were also added, and four were dropped from the set: Apollonius' On Conic Sections, Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy, Henry Fielding's Tom Jones, and Joseph Fourier's Analytical Theory of Heat. Adler later expressed regret about dropping On Con ...

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Names of the Greeks - Revival in the meaning of Hellene

The secular use of Hellene revived in the 9th century, after paganism had been eclipsed and was no longer a threat to Christianity's dominance. The revival followed the same track as its disappearance. The name had originally declined from a national term in antiquity, to a cultural term in the Hellenistic years, to a religious term in the early Christian years. With the demise of paganism and the revival of learning in the Byzantine Empire it had regained its cultural meaning, and finally, by the 11th century it had returned to its ancie ...

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Names of the Greeks - Hellenic continuity and Byzantine consciousness

The "Byzantines" did not only refer to themselves as Romioi in order to retain both their Roman citizenship and their ancient Hellenic heritage. In fact, the overwhelming majority of the "Byzantines" themselves were very conscious of their uninterrupted continuity with the ancient Greeks. Even though the ancient Greeks were not Christians, the "Byzantines" still regarded them as their ancestors. A common substitute for the term Hellene other than Romios was the term Graekos (Γραίκος). This term was us ...

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Names of the Greeks - Romans Ρωμαίοι and Romioi Ρωμιοί

Romans is the political name by which the Greeks were known during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. The name originally signified the inhabitants of the city of Rome in Italy, but with the elevation of the Greeks in the Roman Empire, it soon lost its connection with the Latins. In 212 AD, Emperor Caracella's Constitutio Antoniniana granted all free people in all Roman provinces citizenship. However, the Greeks transmogrified their newly acquired political title (Romans) and began to refer to themselves as Romioi (Romios/Ρωμιο ...

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Names of the Greeks - Hellene comes to mean pagan

The name Hellene came to mean "pagan" in the first Christian centuries and retained that meaning until the end of the millennium, during which the early Christian church played an instrumental role in accelerating the transition. Contact with Jews was critical, since it was their interaction with Christians that led to Christians' use of Hellene as a means of religious differentiation. Jews, like Greeks, distinguished themselves from foreigners, but unlike Gr ...

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Names of the Greeks - Achaeans Αχαιοί

In Homer's Iliad, the Greek allied forces are described under three different names, often used interchangeably: Argives (in Greek: Argites (Αργίτες)) (used 29 times in the Iliad), Danaans (Δαναοί) (used 138 times) and Achaeans (Αχαιοί) (used 598 times).[1] Argives is a political annotation drawn from the original capital of the Achaeans, Argos. Danaans is the name attributed to the tribe first domin ...

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Names of the Greeks - Greeks Γραικοί Yunani Ίωνες and Yavan יָוָן

The modern English word Greek is derived from Latin Graecus, which in turn comes from Greek Γραικός (Graikos), the name of a Boeotian tribe that migrated to Italy in the 8th century BC, and it is by that name the Hellenes were known in the West. Homer, while reciting the Boeotian forces in the Iliad's Catalogue of Ships, provides the first known reference to a Boeotian city named Graea,[24] and Pausanias mentions that Graea ...

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Universal Studios - The logo

Universal has used an image of planet Earth as their logo since the early 1920s. An updated logo was introduced in 1929, as a biplane circling the globe "wiped" into place the words "A UNIVERSAL PICTURE". With new management in the mid-1930s came a completely new logo; introduced in 1937, a highly stylized glass globe, surrounded by twinkling stars, rotated to display the name "UNIVERSAL PICTURES." This logo quickly conveyed a message of "new management" whi ...
