This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the INTRODUCTORY NOTE. The opening chapters of the Dialogue being lost, we have no clue to the place where it is supposed to take place, nor to the time - unless one is given by the Eclipse of the Sun mentioned by Lucius in c. 19 - and some points in the actual course of the discussion require a word of explanation. This can be most readily supplied by an enumeration of the speakers, in the order of their appearance, followed by a short analysis of the argument. Where the names are those of real persons living in Plutarch's lifetime, or of those who appear in other dialogues, I assume identity. PERSONS OF THE DIALOGUE. 1. Sextius Sylla, the Carthaginian, mentioned in the Life of Romulus (c. 15) as "a man wanting neither learning nor ingenuity," who had supplied Plutarch with a piece of archaeological "information. Elsewhere (De cohib. ira. c. 1) he is addressed as "O most eager Sylla! " In another dialogue he declines to be led into a discussion on all cosmology by answering the question "whether the egg or the bird comes first?" (Quaest conv. ii, 3). He has a story, or myth, to tell about the Moon, which he is impatient to begin. This story, which he had heard from a friend in Carthage, is mainly geographical in interest. The details remind us of those quoted from Pytheas about his journeys to Britain and the Northern Seas. The whole conception of the globe is clearly earlier than that of Ptolemy (see especially as to the Caspian Sea, c. 26). The myth also introduces us to the worship of Cronus as practiced at Carthage, and connects it with the wonders of the Moon, and her place in the heavenly system. In c. 17 Sylla raises a good point, about the half-moon, which was being passed over. 2. Lamprias, a brother, probably an elder brother, of Plutarch, who directs the course of the conversation, and himself expounds the Academic view, referring to Lucius for his recollections of a recent discussion at which both had been present, when the Stoic doctrines on physics had been criticized. In some of the Symposiacs and other dialogues Lamprias takes a similar place; in others both brothers take part. Lamprias probably died early, see p. 15. "Evidently a character, a good trencherman, as became a Boeotian, one who on occasion could dance the Pyrrhic war-dance, who loved well a scoff and a jest .... and who, if he thrust himself somewhat brusquely into discussions which are going forward, was quite able to justify the intrusion." - Archbishop Trench.

Download or read book Images on the Move written by Olga Moskatova and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contemporary society, digital images have become increasingly mobile. They are networked, shared on social media, and circulated across small and portable screens. Accordingly, the discourses of spreadability and circulation have come to supersede the focus on production, indexicality, and manipulability, which had dominated early conceptions of digital photography and film. However, the mobility of images is neither technologically nor conceptually limited to the realm of the digital. The edited volume re-examines the historical, aesthetical, and theoretical relevance of image mobility. The contributors provide a materialist account of images on the move - ranging from wired photography to postcards to streaming media.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 3: The Dryden Plutarch Demades, the orator, when in the height of the power which he obtained at Athens, by advising the state in the interest of Antipater and the Macedonians, being necessitated to write and speak many things below the dignity, and contrary to the character, of the city, was wont to excuse himself by saying he steered only the shipwrecks of the commonwealth. This hardy saying of his might have some appearance of truth, if applied to Phocion's government. For Demades, indeed, was himself the mere wreck of his country, living and ruling so dissolutely, that Antipater took occasion to say of him, when he was now grown old, that he was like a sacrificed beast, all consumed except the tongue and the belly. But Phocion's was a real virtue, only overmatched in the unequal contest with an adverse time, and rendered, by the ill fortunes of Greece, inglorious and obscure. We must not, indeed, allow ourselves to concur with Sophocles in so far diminishing the force of virtue as to say that - "When fortune fails, the sense we had before Deserts us also, and is ours no more." Yet thus much, indeed, must be allowed to happen in the conflicts between good men and ill fortune, that instead of due returns of honour and gratitude, obloquy and unjust surmises may often prevail, to weaken, in a considerable degree, the credit of their virtue. It is commonly said that public bodies are most insulting and contumelious to a good man, when they are puffed up with prosperity and success. But the contrary often happens; afflictions and public calamities naturally embittering and souring the minds and tempers of men, and disposing them to such peevishness and irritability that hardly any word or sentiment of common vigour can be addressed to them, but they will be apt to take offence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 5 of 5: The Translation Called Dryden's He was wonderfully fond of his father Antigonus; and the tenderness he had for his mother led him, for her sake, to redouble attentions, which it was evident were not so much owing to fear or duty as to the more powerful motives of inclination. It is reported, that, returning one day from hunting, he went immediately into the apartment of Antig onus, who was conversing with some ambassadors, and after stepping up and kissing his father, he sat down by him, just as he was, still holding in his hand the javelins which he had brought with him. Whereupon Antigonus, who had just dismissed the ambassadors with their answer, called out in a loud voice to them, as they were going, Mention, also, that this is the way in which we two live together; as if to imply to them that it was no slender mark 'of the power and security of his government that there was so perfect good understanding between himself and his son. Such an unsociable, solitary thing is power, and so much of jealousy and distrust in it, that the first and greatest of the successors of Alexander could make it a thing to glory in that he was not so afraid of his son as to forbid his standing beside him with a weapon in his hand. And, in fact, among all the successors of Alexander, that of Antigonus was the only house which, for many de scents, Was exempted from crime of this kind; or to state it exactly, Philip was the only one of this family who was guilty of a son's death. All the other families, we may fairly say, afforded frequent examples of fathers who brought their children, husbands their wives, children their mothers, to untimely ends; and that brothers should put brothers to death was assumed, like the postulates of mathematicians, as the common and recognized royal first principle of safety.
