Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Demeter's Daughter Her name is gift, and, mourn as she may, out of her mighty heart's love she can still succour the children of men, still take them, as Demophoon of old, to her deep bosom and seek to render them imo mortal in the red heart of altar fires. But few mothers can face that awful way of immortality for their babes; few men can read the truth of Demeter's counter-strokes against the relentless Zeus: in shut ting the watersprings, in holding up the curtains of the rain; in starving the seed corn under the furrow, in suffering the coulter vainly to tear an iron and a barren earth. One may, however, read the reconciliations of the Homeric hymn as prologue to these things to be told as a prelude of celestial music breaking forth upon a theatre where earth people, precious to the goddess, move and breathe and have their beginning, being, end; where - on these dawn-facing hills of Holne Demeter leads the desert above to join hands with the tilth below, so that cultivated earth and high, waste places come congruently together and meet in peace.

She presides over the threshing floor and full granary and stands beside the women baking bread at the oven, and it is they who leave her a fragment of bread and a morsel of meat at the cross-roads, to take on her journey. She lays a finger on the grass, and some new flower comes up. The country woman who puts her child to sleep in the great cradle-like basket for winnowing corn, remembers De meter, the mother of corn and children alike, and makes it a little coat out ofthe dress worn by its father at his initia tion into her mysteries. 9 Per sephone, springin up with great joy from the couch o Hades to return to her mother, is the outburst of the year. The perfume of spring flowers hangs about her as about the actual spring. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Demeter and Persephone written by Tamara Agha-Jaffar and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2002-09-12 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classical Greek myth of Demeter and her daughter Persephone as told in Homer's Hymn to Demeter has been used most often to explain the cycle of the seasons. However, a closer examination will reveal insights on living and dying, loss and reconciliation, and suffering and healing. This work demostrates the continued importance and relevance of the myth of Demeter and Persephone to today's society. The first three chapters provide a summary of the Homeric story and examine the myth from the perspectives of the mother and daughter. The following chapters discuss the symbolism of critical objects, the role of female mentoring, the role of Hades and the meaning of the underworld, the subject of rape, and the masculinist perspective presented by Zeus and Helios, and derive lessons useful for healing and knowledge. The Hymn to Demeter as translated by Helene Foley is included as an appendix in order to provide a basis for the discussion in the text. Notes and a bibliography also follow the text.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXII AARON CLEAVE displayed much interest in the approaching wedding of his son. Circumstances had conspired to wake dormant instincts in this man, and his life had opened upon new things and new attractions since his departure from the Moor and sojourn at a village. He had found work and was thatching corn-ricks, but he pursued his labours in desultory fashion, and the coming event in his family served as a excuse for idleness. Upon the whole, however, Alison marked a definite change in her husband since his advent at Holne. She rejoiced in it, and attributed it to the new environment, but not to the particular accident really responsible. He had grown nicer and more self-respecting in various directions. He developed a desire for money, and showed determination to make it. He reconsidered his clothes and his person. By taking thought he apparently reduced his age by ten years. He certainly became more energetic and cheerful. He helped his wife with greater industry, and grew less exacting and more sober. In this particular she had feared that Holne might prove too full of temptation; but, instead, the reverse, was manifest. While he patronized the " Church House" as of old, Aaron spent less money there. He became critical, too, and approved of Alison's efforts to make the new home comfortable. The quiet distinction she unconsciously sought did not please him, however. He held the home of Lavinia Hatch as the model to be copied. His ambition was for coloured pictures out of the journals, and these he collected where he was able for the decoration of his house. He bought garish glass and china also, and made many purchases at the shop of Mrs. Hatch. Alison rejoiced, and yet was mystified at her husband's transformation. "You be...

Download or read book In the Shadow of Demeter written by Vic Malachai and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The daughter of King Zeus of Olympus lived a small life. The least of his sons and daughters, hers was not the moon, or love, or battle...so low that she should have more rightly been numbered among his demigod children. Kore lingered at the edge of the feast hall, watching the great gods and goddesses revel. Too useless to sprout the grain with the nymphs, she followed her mother, Demeter, through the fields and made the flowers bloom, and she wasn't even too good at that. But what she liked best was when she was allowed to wander the woodlands and towns of the mortal world alone. It was there she found her destiny, one that would shake the world from the top of Olympus to the depths of Hades. Kore does not belong in the shadows, and she is not the Goddess of Flowers, spring or otherwise. But things never start out that way. It started, as many stories do, with a boy and a girl in a meadow. This is not the story passed down from Demeter's priests and priestesses. It is not the song sung for Demeter by her nymphs as her tears make the seasons turn. But it was never Demeter's story to tell at all. Grab your copy today to hear Persephone's side of the tale!

Download or read book Expurgating the Classics written by Bloomsbury Publishing and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-06-20 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first collection to be devoted to this subject, a distinguished cast of contributors explores expurgation in both Greek and Latin authors in ancient and modern times. The major focus is on the period from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, with chapters ranging from early Greek lyric and Aristophanes through Lucretius, Horace, Martial and Catullus to the expurgation of schoolboy texts, the Loeb Classical Library and the Penguin Classics. The contributors draw on evidence from the papers of editors, and on material in publishing archives. The introduction discusses both the different types of expurgation, and how it differs from related phenomena such as censorship.
