And did those feet in ancient time

Sometimes, if she really focused, she could shrink herself back into being a little girl, those days when her palm barely made up half of his. Many bright afternoons, he would carry Gugu on his back to their favourite old Matope tree to teach her Ancient proverbs. After each lesson, he took a soft piece of charcoal and drew the story pictorially onto…

The classical requirements of a hero were originally set forth in the Greek epics composed by none other than Homer, the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey. Within these ancient texts, Homer expertly crafted his idea of a hero: honourable, courageous, and fierce warriors who instilled hope in comrades, and struck fear into the minds of the enemy with their overwhelming valor and inherent expertise on and off of the battlefield. Classical heroes like Odysseus and Achilleus were the embodiment of…

Wilder rewrote with Harry Kurnitz Christie's dialogue but did not change the clever plot with a surprise ending. In the film Charles Laughton was Sir Wilfrid, a barrister, who defends Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power), an inventor, accused of murdering a middle-aged widowed woman. Marlene Dietrich was his German wife…

her presence in my life since I only saw her five times after I left, at seven years old, before that she was my daily host. Those vague memories that she left inside me had a bigger impact on me than anything else in my life, forging…

are inherent with existence in the new land; he must abandon the old ideals and the old gods, and oftentimes he must reverse the very codes by which his conduct has hitherto been shaped. To those who have the protean faculty of adaptability, the novelty of such change may even be a source of pleasure; but to those who happen to be hardened to the ruts in which they were created, the pressure of the altered environment is unbearable, and they chafe in body and in spirit under the new restrictions…

things will happen. A) I’d never come home or B) there will be claw marks in the airport because I will literally have to be dragged aboard the plane. Sometimes I think my wife thinks I’m nuts; or that my family will never quite grasp what this ancient practice has done for me, but it has transformed me in my entire being through every part of my physical body—straight down to my seven…

“excellent” and humans striving to be excellent strive to be like them. Man has always wanted to be greater than what they already are, dating back to the beginning of time. Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil because they wanted to be like God. He was their example of greatness and excellence so they did everything they could to become like Him, including disobeying His direct command. Today, the general public has socialites and movies stars to aspire to be…

threatened by humans hunting them or performing experiments on them. And it is not just wild animals, household pets and livestock are also a major part of animal rights becoming a global issue. The history of animal rights has been dated back ancient Greek and Roman times. They urged the respect of animals interests because they believed in the transmigration of souls between animals and humans. While the great philosopher Aristotle wrote that nature…

language. It is inconclusive who ruled the Minoan throne, so it is through the surviving art that one must look at to try to discover who those Minoan rulers were. Up until well into the 19th century, the study of classics was merely the study of Greek and Roman languages and writings, until a German man named Heinrich Schliemann came up with the genius, though at the time considered to be preposterous, idea of following Homer’s description in The Iliad to find…

mats. They removed the mats and found a burial chamber. They lifted the top of the chamber and found the chamber was divided into five sections. In those five sections were a big black coffin, with treasures around the coffin. They unpacked the treasures from the sides before trying to move the coffin. The archaeologists and workers found ancient lotus slices. The lotus slices look so fresh they could have eaten them. After they examined the lotus, they had to get the coffin out. They managed…
