Download or read book The Poetics of Supplication written by Kevin Crotty and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this penetrating and compelling reinterpretation of the Iliad and the Odyssey, Kevin Crotty explores the connection between the "poetic" nature of supplication on the one hand, and, on the other, the importance of supplication in the structure and poetics of the two epics. The supplicant's attempt to rouse pity by calling to mind a vivid sense of grief, he says, is important for an understanding of the poems, which invite their audience to contemplate scenes of past grieving. A poetics of supplication, Crotty asserts, leads irresistibly to a poetics of the Homeric epic.
Download or read book Ancient Supplication written by Fred Naiden and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-07-20 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length treatment of supplication, an important social practice in ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Despite the importance of supplication, it has received little attention, and no previous study has explored so many aspects of the practice. Naiden investigates the varied gestures made by the supplicants, the types of requests they make, the arguments used in defense of their requests, and the role of the supplicandus, who evaluates and decides whether to fulfill the requests. Varied and abundant sources invite comparison between the societies of Greece and Rome and also among literary genres. Additionally, Naiden formulates an analysis of the ritual in its legal and political contexts. In constructing this rich and thorough study, Naiden considered over 800 acts of supplication from Greek, Hebrew, and Roman literature, art, and scientific sources. 30 illustrations and a map of the relevant locations accompany the text.

Download or read book The Supplicate Order written by Patricia M. Brown Ph.D. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-04-10 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supplication captures a universal, cross-cultural approach to spirituality. Authored by Dr. Patricia Brown, The Supplicate Order defines supplication as an expression for the laws and principles that guide a spiritual aspirant toward communion with the sacred (mysteries), progressing toward an expanded perception of life and grateful reception of blessings, positive creativity, healing, and wisdom. It shows how humanity bridges the manifest explicate order and the unmanifest implicate order. Offering a fresh perspective on supplication, The Supplicate Order carries four messages that pertain to spiritual aspirants at any level: Dont abandon yourself (to self-loathing or to another persons or groups absolute power over you) Start with what you know to do (dont be too eager to get exotic or far removed from your resonant spiritual persuasion) Never think you know everything Dont give up Brown explains how key universal principles verify the human capacity to bring forth gifts of the spirit, while psychological health and development determine invocatory efforts and receptive capacities. The Supplicate Order integrates global spiritual wisdom and psychological knowledge with the trends of new science, highlighting the human invocation of the sacred.

Download or read book The Cambridge Guide to Homer written by Corinne Ondine Pache and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 974 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its ancient incarnation as a song to recent translations in modern languages, Homeric epic remains an abiding source of inspiration for both scholars and artists that transcends temporal and linguistic boundaries. The Cambridge Guide to Homer examines the influence and meaning of Homeric poetry from its earliest form as ancient Greek song to its current status in world literature, presenting the information in a synthetic manner that allows the reader to gain an understanding of the different strands of Homeric studies. The volume is structured around three main themes: Homeric Song and Text; the Homeric World, and Homer in the World. Each section starts with a series of 'macropedia' essays arranged thematically that are accompanied by shorter complementary 'micropedia' articles. The Cambridge Guide to Homer thus traces the many routes taken by Homeric epic in the ancient world and its continuing relevance in different periods and cultures.

Download or read book The Ministry of Supplication written by Zacharias Tanee Fomum and published by ZTF Books Online. This book was released on 2015-02-21 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of Asking. God asks us to ask him. “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face...” Supplication is asking, entreating with humility, and earnestness. God honours such prayer. Hannah’s supplication is a classic biblical model. In this volume, Prof. Zacharias FOMUM, himself a longtime student and teacher in the school of prayer takes us to the next level from prayer and intercession. Using the example of Hannah’s supplication for a child, Prof FOMUM sets forth the spiritual science for supplication in terms that are easy to grasp. Hannah’s story of God answering her supplication with her giving birth to the prophet Samuel is used to illustrate the supplicant as she progresses from reacting to human provocation to seeking the greater goal of God’s eternal purposes. A short, simple bible story is mined for rich lessons on supplication. Study this book and learn how God can be moved to act mightily to supply the needs of a supplicating person or supplicating people.

Book excerpt: In The Four Last Things, More prescribes frequent meditation on Death, Judgment, Pain and Joy in order to combat the spiritual diseases of pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth.The Supplication of Souls is More's vigorous, humorous, and artful defense of one of the flashpoints of the Reformation: the Catholic dogma of Purgatory.
