Book excerpt: Mr. Stillman has here reprinted in luxurious dress the series of archaeological articles which he contributed not long ago to The Century magazine-three chapters on the localities of the Odyssey, and one on the vexed question, what is the famous statue which under the name of a Venus now constitutes one of the great treasures of the Louvre? His account of the attempt to trace the route of Ulysses is combined with an interesting narrative of personal adventure. The problem offers some insoluble difficulties, and Mr. Stillman concludes that while Homer was familiar with the scenes of the principal events of the poem and describes the geography of these scenes with accuracy, he had no mental vision of the lands and islands which are merely mentioned by Ulysses in his story. "This," says Mr. Stillman, "strengthens my belief in the hypothesis of the presence of Homer in Ithaca, and of the early date of the Odyssey, and by a certain implication argues for a logical relation between the hero and the Trojan war, implying the actuality of both." He identifies the site of the city of Ithaca with a site now called Polis, where there are no traces of ruins-a theory which receives some support from the discovery of an inscribed tablet, incorrectly given by Schliemann, who had only half of it, while Mr. Stillman has found and photographed the whole. Respecting the so-called Venus, Mr. Stillman accepts the opinion that it is a statue of Victory, and he sets forth the reasons for believing that it is nothing else than that statue from the temple of Nike Apteros, at Athens, of which it was said that the Athenians made their Victory without wings that she might never leave Athens. Restored, she should be holding with her left hand a table whose lower edge rests on her knee, and inscribing on it the names of Athenian heroes. The element of pure conjecture in this theory is very large, but Mr. Stillman makes a forcible argument, sustained by some telling illustrations. -N. Y. Tribune

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I have grown so tender of the suffering of my fellow-creatures of the lower ranks in creation, that nothing could now induce me to take the life of a wild creature, except the necessity of protecting another which needed protection and deserved it. I do not discuss the question; I feel for myself, and conform my own conduct to my feelings, without pretending to prescribe for others. I have derived so much real happiness from the cultivation of my love for the animals I used to kill that my opinion is an interested one, and the little story of one of my experiences is told in the hope that it may show some others the greater delight of loving over killing." - William James Stillman

Download or read book Liberating Hellenism from the Ottoman Empire written by Gonda Van Steen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-04-26 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberating Hellenism from the Ottoman Empire explores two key historical episodes that have generally escaped the notice of modern Greece, the Near East, and their observers alike. In the midst of the highly charged context of West-East confrontation and with fundamental cultural and political issues at stake, these episodes prove to be exciting and important platforms from which to reexamine the age-old conflict. This book reaches beyond the standard sources to dig into the archives for important events that have fallen through the cracks of the study of emerging modern Greece and the Ottoman Empire. These events, in which French travel writing, literary fiction, antiquarianism, and nineteenth-century western and eastern geopolitics merge, invite us to redraw the outlines of mutually dependent Hellenism and Orientalism.
Download or read book Disarmed written by Gregory Curtis and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1820, on the Aegean island of Melos, an unsuspecting farmer was digging for marble building blocks when he unearthed the statue that would come to be known as the Venus de Milo. From the moment of its discovery a battle for possession ensued and was won, eventually, by the French. Touted by her keepers in the Louvre as the great classical find of the era, the sculpture gained instant celebrity–and yet its origins had yet to be documented or verified. From the flurry of excitement surrounding her discovery, to the raging disputes over her authenticity, to the politics and personalities that have given rise to her mystique, Gregory Curtis has given us a riveting look at the embattled legacy of a beloved icon and a remarkable tribute to one of the world’s great works of art.
