Download or read book Extraordinary Beasts written by Richard Marsh and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a family-friendly selection of tales from my book Hellhounds and Hero Horses: Beasts of Myth and Legend (ebook and print). The 205 stories, anecdotes and incidents demonstrate that animals are not, as is often assumed, less than human: they're just other, a property that is magnified and exaggerated in the accounts of legendary and mythical beasts. Some stories probably report actual occurrences that were interpreted and pre-judged according to the witnesses' cultural background and beliefs. Topics include death-presaging urcos of Galicia, benevolent Black Dogs of England, the Moddey Dhoo of the Isle of Man, kelpies of Scotland, púcas of Ireland, heroic horses of legend, monstrous cats, helpful birds, mostly friendly wolves, shape-shifters and shape-changers, saints and animals, and a miscellaneous menagerie of creatures of myth, legend and folklore, and supposedly factual accounts.

Download or read book The Triumph of Vulgarity written by Robert Pattison and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1987 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thinker's guide to rock and roll, Robert Pattison contends that rock music mirrors the tradition of 19th-century Romanticism. The music is vulgar, he notes, and vulgarity is something that high culture has long despised but rarely bothered to define. This book is the first effort since John Ruskin and Aldous Huxley to describe in depth what vulgarity is, and how, with the help of ideas inherent in Romanticism, it has slipped the constraints imposed on it by refined culture and established its own loud arts.

Download or read book On Such Horses Gods and Heroes Ride written by Collomia Charles and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the central role of horses in Greek culture, scholarship on horses in antiquity deals primarily with their social importance in history, archaeology and religion or the development of their artistic representation; no study examines the emotional importance of the horse. This dissertation focuses on the relationship between man and animal depicted in classical literature from Homer to Late Antiquity. In the Iliad Achilleus owns a pair of divine steeds, Xanthos and Balios, who foretell his death. Despite their divinity, they serve Achilleus and provide irrefutable confirmation of his unique heroic nature. The poet represents these horses as fundamentally different from the other horses of the Iliad: as individuals capable of thought, emotion and the ties of responsibility. In the historical period, however, this relationship does not appear: representations of the horse become homogenized and general, while the reciprocity between man and horse vanishes. Although horses establish the aristocratic status of both mythic and historical figures, there are no true parallels to Achilleus and his divine team until the time of Alexander the Great. Alexander used his famously savage horse Boukephalas to propagate his own image as a hero. Over time, the legend of Boukephalas took on a life of its own and the Alexander Romance conflates aspects of both divine and monstrous horses in its depiction of Boukephalas. This dissertation not only shows that the relationship between these two individuals and their horses is important, but also argues that Boukephalas' part in the Alexander legend recalls and transforms the Homeric model on which it was based. Due in no small part to Xanthos and Boukephalas, a hero of the western tradition--from El Cid to Don Quixote--can often be recognized by his equally heroic horse. It is a motif derived from antiquity, and yet one with only two ancient examples: the talking horses of Achilleus, and Alexander's ox-headed monster.
