Introduction On the second day of July 1863, during the Battle of Gettysburg, Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain was assigned to the far left of the Union line at the critical position of Little Round Top. With no other available options or ammunition, the 20th Battalion of Maine executed a bayonet charge led by Chamberlain at Confederate General John B. Hood’s approaching troops. Chamberlain’s act of courageousness and stoutheartedness led to the retreat of Hood’s men, the successful defense of General Meade’s Flank, and held the Union’s position at the high ground of Little Round Top.

The Athenians had fled to Salamis after the Battle of Thermopylae in August, 480 BC, while the Persians occupied and burned their city. The Greek fleet joined them there in August after the indecisive Battle of Artemisium. The Spartans wanted to return to the Peloponnese, seal off the Isthmus of Corinth with a wall, and prevent the Persians from defeating them on land, but the Athenian commander Themistocles persuaded them to remain at Salamis, arguing that a wall across the Isthmus was pointless as long as the Persian army could be transported and supplied by the Persian navy.

Furthermore, Astarte exists as the Greek name of her counterpart Ishtar of the Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Semitic people of Mesopotamian; Astarte also became worshipped in Egypt and Syria, among the Hittites, as well as in Canaan. She became assimilated with the Egyptian deities Isis and Hathor; and in the Greco-Roman world with Aphrodite, Artemis and Juno. Decisively, Hebrew scholars now feel that the goddess Ashtoreth referenced oftentimes in the Bible exists as an intentional alternate for the Greek name Astarte. As one can determine, the intertwining of the goddesses overlaps one lustful deity after the next; virtually, intermingling them indefinitely. The Decline of the Great Goddess…

We use stamp pads to stamp papers everyday. For example, approval stamps, excellent stamps, denial stamps, exedra.…
