Cleopatra constantly accompanied Antony, sharing his pleasure in gaming, hunting, and fishing (Samson 1985:129). The dramatic couple quickly became linked in people’s minds with the gods: Antony with Bacchus (Dionysus) whom the Greeks associated with Osiris; and Cleopatra with Venus (Aphrodite) and distantly associated with Isis (Samson 1985:127). In 40 B.C. Antony concluded a dynastic marriage with Octavia, the sister of Octavian (Watterson 1991:143). In the same year, Cleopatra bore him twins,…

In the poem, "From the Dao de jing", the pictures in this poem pass on the possibility of the Dao as a unity of opposites are the: bowls, carts, windows and doors. Every one of these pictures demonstrate its immense and puzzling inventive potential. "A clay bowl is molded; but the use of the bowl will depend on the part of the bowl that is void (jing line 7)." The items that are made are relying upon the part that is void. The void speaks to an entire hollow space where potential "usefulness…

The ancient Roman and Greek societies received the most recognition but my interest resides elsewhere. The one civilization that drew much attention and had a lot of interaction with Rome and Greece is ancient Egypt. To the Roman and Greek peoples the Egyptian civilization was seen as a mysterious realm of exotica, power, and wealth. For these reasons I, just like the ancient world, wanted to know more about this culture. My main focus was the unique belief system the Egyptians possessed. I…

Ancient Rome and China, specifically that of the Han dynasty, share some interesting comparisons, although they were miles apart. Rome can be characterized as a militaristic, artistic, and grand in not only its stature but its accomplishments. We take influence from this culture today in many areas such as government, art, and philosophy. Ancient China can be described, similarly, as militaristic, inventive, and spiritual; not to mention, with many of its success still alive today in the forms…

The diffusion of Egyptian cults in the Greek and Roman World Sources The Roman imperial fleet was one of the main gateways for diffusion of Egyptian cults into the Roman world, and both merchant and war fleets had significant role in that diffusion. One of the most important parts of the research of this diffusion is to determinate the groups of citizens who were involved in it. In order to do that we have to find the sources from Greek and Roman periods such as epigraphic inscriptions, literary…

One thing that connects all of us humans in some way is religion. For some it’s a way of life for others it’s just a norm they follow. But we never ask ourselves how our religion got to be at the point where it is now. Roughly 3.8 billion people, over 50% of the world population believes in the Abrahamic idea of God. So how did we go from worshipping many gods thousands of years ago to just worshipping one all knowing God, and what kind of repercussions has that brought upon the world?…

Egypt’s rich history has been documented for a very long time. Some of the earliest writings date as far back as 3000 B.C. That is about five thousand years old. At first, most writing was inventory based (Greenberg). But as time went on, narratives and historical depictions began to appear in writing. “The Literature of Ancient Egypt” by William Kelly Simpson gives a view into the lives of the people of ancient Egypt through the stories of ancient Egyptians. During the Middle Kingdom of Egypt,…
