Download or read book Trophies of Victory written by T. Leslie Shear Jr. and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek military victories at Marathon, Salamis, and Plataia during the Persian Wars profoundly shaped fifth-century politics and culture. By long tradition, the victors commemorated their deliverance by dedicating thank-offerings in the sanctuaries of their gods, and the Athenians erected no fewer than ten new temples and other buildings. Because these buildings were all at some stage of construction during the political ascendency of Perikles, in the third quarter of the fifth century, modern writers refer to them collectively as the Periklean building program. In Trophies of Victory, T. Leslie Shear, Jr., who directed archaeological excavations at the Athenian Agora for more than twenty-five years, provides the first comprehensive account of the Periklean buildings as a group. This richly illustrated book examines each building in detail, including its archaeological reconstruction, architectural design, sculptural decoration, chronology, and construction history. Shear emphasizes the Parthenon's revolutionary features and how they influenced smaller contemporary temples. He examines inscriptions that show how every aspect of public works was strictly controlled by the Athenian Assembly. In the case of the buildings on the Acropolis and the Telesterion at Eleusis, he looks at accounts of their overseers, which illuminate the administration, financing, and organization of public works. Throughout, the book provides new details about how the Periklean buildings proclaimed Athenian military prowess, aggrandized the city's cults and festivals, and laid claim to its religious and cultural primacy in the Greek world.

Download or read book We Are Trophies of Christ s Victory written by Ineke Vandewetering and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to be a Trophy of Christ? Do you like to experience miracles for yourself? Do you desire to be victorious and live in joy? Ineke Vandewetering feels and understands your desire. She too was hungry for the reality of the Scripture. Once she was fearful, insecure and shy but she overcame to be a Trophy of Christ through a series of outstanding miracles. She will take you to several circumstances in her life and shows you through fully trusting the Lord to receive miracles and become that Trophy. - FEEL with her, the love of God when He came to her in a most humiliating and painful situation, when she was only four years old. - LEARN with her, to stand on the Word and not to be afraid of the giant, called cancer, Melanoma stage four. - JOIN her, when there were three angels at her bed-side, speaking "SHALOM" over her. - GLORIFY the Lord for the incredible miracle He performed, when her husband spoke Psalm 118:17 over her when she was dying in his arms. - DISCOVER with her, the highest calling we have as the Bride of Christ. Ineke Vandewetering was born in Holland and immigrated with her husband and their three children to Canada in 1987. At the age of twenty nine she and her husband had an encounter with the Lord and became born-again and hungry for the Word of God. They served with missionaries in different Islands of Indonesia, also in Siberia and throughout the country of Namibia. Her passion is to see people saved and know for themselves the security there is in the Word of God. To see people free and experience miracles and be filled with the joy of the Lord.
Download or read book The Greek and Roman Trophy written by Lauren Kinnee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Greek and Roman Trophy: From Battlefield Marker to Icon of Power, Kinnee presents the first monographic treatment of ancient trophies in sixty years. The study spans Archaic Greece through the Augustan Principate. Kinnee aims to create a holistic view of this complex monument-type by breaking down boundaries between the study of art history, philology, the history of warfare, and the anthropology of religion and magic. Ultimately, the kaleidoscopic picture that emerges is of an ad hoc anthropomorphic Greek talisman that gradually developed into a sophisticated, Augustan sculptural or architectural statement of power. The former, a product of the hoplite phalanx, disappeared from battlefields as the Macedonian cavalry grew in importance, shifting instead onto coins and into rhetoric, where it became a statement of military might. For their part, the Romans seem to have encountered the trophy as an icon on Syracusan coinage. Recognizing its value as a statement of territorial ownership, the Romans spent two centuries honing the trophy-concept into an empire-building tool, planted at key locations around the Mediterranean to assert Roman presence and dominance. This volume covers a ubiquitous but poorly understood phenomenon and will therefore be instructive to upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars in all fields of Classical Studies.

Download or read book Dark Trophies written by Simon Harrison and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many anthropological accounts of warfare in indigenous societies have described the taking of heads or other body parts as trophies. But almost nothing is known of the prevalence of trophy-taking of this sort in the armed forces of contemporary nation-states. This book is a history of this type of misconduct among military personnel over the past two centuries, exploring its close connections with colonialism, scientific collecting and concepts of race, and how it is a model for violent power relationships between groups.
