Description

While he could be ruthless and impulsive, Alexander was also charismatic and sensible. His troops were extremely loyal, believing in him throughout all hardships. Hugely ambitious, Alexander drew inspiration from the gods Achilles, Heracles, and Dionysus. He also displayed a deep interest in learning and encouraged the spread of Hellenistic culture. We’re still in a process. If we’d played really well today, we could have won – we didn’t. We played OK. We caused them problems as well, but our good moments didn’t feel that good to us [in the first half]. We had to stretch ourselves again [in the second half]. We adapted our positioning slightly. Unfortunately we lost Diogo [Jota], with Ali we’ll have to see. and that's when i had a ✨brilliant idea!✨ i could make this year *drumroll* The Year Of The Great Shakespeare Tbr! Substantial Influence: Shakespeare has had influence in every aspect of society from helping to shape the English language (It's all greek to me and tongue-tied - said to have added over 1700 words to the English language) to politics. (Dangers of introducing foreign politics into a city) truly a great plan, considering i already have a huge tbr, am currently in a reading slump, and have school things to read, not to mention im in multiple plays and have a million other miscellaneous things to do right now. and god knows what this year is even going to look like anyways. but i decided to go for it.

i didn't actually read this collection: this book is being used as "all shakespeare ever written."*Alexandriada – a story of the great Emperor Alexander of Macedonia, son of Philip. God decided to punish those kings who had equated themselves with Him... And chose the glorious Macedonia to make it happen. [10] Arabic, Persian, Armenian, and Ethiopic versions [ edit ] I challenged myself at the beginning of this year to read The Complete Works of William Shakespeare

Recensio λ ( Pseudo-Methodius redactio 1) H. van Thiel, Die Rezension λ des Pseudo-Callisthenes. Bonn: Habelt 1959 As for the poems, they were good too. They were beautiful, and this is said by someone who is not used to read poetry.

I decided to start with “Hamlet” because I just read a biography of John Quincy Adams and it was his favorite work. At 4000 lines, it is Shaekespeare’s longest play. Harold Bloom considers “Hamlet” to be “the most extraordinary single work of Western literature that I have ever read” (2003 PBS interview).

In what follows, I may at times indicate some of the inadequacies of "The Comedy of Errors." But I will keep in mind that a host are watching it who simply will not watch superior fare, such as Ben Jonson's "The Alchemist" or the "Tamburlaine" plays of Christopher Marlowe. Is it better that they watch Shakespeare than not watch at all? Will they advance from Shakespeare to more difficult pleasures? One doubts both possibilities.Nawotka, Krzysztof (2018). "Syriac and Persian Versions of the Alexander Romance". Brill's Companion to the Reception of Alexander the Great. Brill. pp.525–542. ISBN 978-90-04-35993-2. Recensio V (cod. Vind. theol. gr. 244): K. Mitsakis, Der byzantinische Alexanderroman nach dem Codex Vind. Theol. gr. 244 [Miscellanea Byzantina Monacensia 7. Munich: Institut für Byzantinistik und neugriechische Philologie der Universität, 1967] Book III begins with the campaign against the Indian king Porus, whom Alexander defeats in single combat. He then encounters the Naked Philosophers of Taxila and interviews them about their customs. A inserts at this point the whole of Palladius’ monograph, “On the Life of the Brahmans” (III.7–16) 4 and then the “Letter to Aristotle about India” (III. 17) in abridged and mangled form. In A, the lacunose text focuses on strange beasts and the “Night of Terrors” and culminates in a visit to the oracular trees of the sun and moon, which predict Alexander’s early death.
