Book Description
Time is always moving. Eras rise and fall. Creatures appear and vanish. Civilizations are born, then crumble. But what never dies off is hope for life... For young Josun, life in Thrystinove is peaceful and happy—despite frequent visits from his abrasive aunt and his abusive cousins. However, when a Great Lizard appears close to the village, Josun's way of life is threatened. In this first installment of The Myths of Dymos, an ancient order of knights—mortal enemies of Josun's people—has found its way into Josun's world and will stop at nothing to destroy the land of Bylouth. To save his home and all that he cares about, Josun must find an artifact that could be the key to the safety of his people. Along the way, he adds many interesting people and creatures to his band of traveling companions. Throughout the quest, Josun must learn about courage, honor, friendship, love, and hope in order to master the Power of Vedion.

Republic of Signs
Author: Anne Norton
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226595137
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Norton examines the enactment of liberal ideas in popular culture; in the possessions of ordinary people and the habits of everyday life. She sees liberalism as the common sense of the American people: a set of conventions unconsciously adhered to, a set of principles silently taken for granted. The author ranges over a wide expanse of popular activities (e.g. wrestling, roller derby, lotteries, shopping sprees, and dining out), as well as conventional political topics (e.g., the Constitution, presidency, news media, and centrality of law). Yet the argument is pointed and probling, never shallow or superficial. Fred and Wilma Flintstone are as vital to the republic as Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. "In discussions that range from the Constitution and the presidency to money and shopping, voting, lotteries, and survey research, Norton discerns and imaginatively invents possibilities that exceed recognized actualities and already approved opportunities."—Richard E. Flathman, American Political Science Review "[S]timulating and stylish exploration of political theory, language, culture, and shopping at the mall . . . popular culture at its best, informed by history and theory, serious in purpose, yet witty and modest in tone."—Bernard Mergen, American Studies International

Myth Protector
Author: Jamie Hawke
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781727535457
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
As they fight a war against good and evil in our world, the Fairy Tales need a protector. All I wanted to do was take a break from college to check out LegendFest, some good ol' cosplay, and maybe find a lady to hit it off with. You never know, right? My life took a new direction, though, when I found out myths like Red Riding Hood are real, and they're in an ongoing war against evil to save us all. More than that, they need a mortal to serve as their protector, to lead the battle against the likes of the Big Bad Wolf, Baba Yaga, and other evil legends. Now, I am that protector. It's a tough job, but it's everything I've ever dreamed of. Even more so when Red and some of the other ladies show interest in me in more ways than just my ability to wield a magic blade. And here's a warning: it gets saucy. We have fun on the streets and even more in the sheets, so you might not want to hear my tale if sexy fun scares you more than witches and ghouls. If you're a fan of Once Upon a Time or Fables/Wolf Among Us but also enjoy harem and the spice of life, this book's for you.

Didymos of Alexandria
Author: Bruce Karl Braswell
Publisher: Schwabe Verlag (Basel)
ISBN: 3796534937
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
Modern studies of Pindar have largely neglected ancient scholarship on the poet. This is not entirely by chance, since the almost 1000 pages of the scholia vetera on the odes presuppose an acquaintance with the language and conventions of the Hellenistic grammarians who commented on the Pindaric texts. While the scholia have not undeservedly been criticized for containing a sizeable amount of dross, they have nevertheless preserved the comments of major figures of Alexandrian scholarship such as Aristarchos and Didymos whose interpretations are not only of historical interest but can often contribute to a better understanding of ancient texts. The Pindaric scholarship of Aristarchos was the subject of two special studies, both of which appeared as long ago as 1883, while Didymos has fared even less well. The only collection of the remains of his Pindar commentary was published by Moritz Schmidt in his 1854 edition of all the fragments of the grammarian known to him. This was based on Boeckhʼs partial edition of the Pindar scholia published in 1819. The present edition, which draws on Drachmann's critical edition, not only offers a revised Greek text but also an English translation with explanatory notes and full indices. An extensive introduction, which situates Didymos in the scholarship of late Ptolemaic Alexandria, includes the first modern critical catalogue of all the works which are expressly attributed to him. While the present work is primarily addressed to advanced students and professional classicists, it is hoped that the presentation will ease the entry of others into the fascinating field of ancient scholarship which has now established itself as a special discipline.
