Oh Muse! With visions Thou hast filled my soul,
With visions overpowering, for Thou
Hast shown me Golden Aphrodite; now
The blaze emboldens me; like coal
To brighter burning fanned by Breath Divine,
The Cyprian enflameth me with words,
Seductive sounds, which swiftly would entwine
My soul, as lime-twigs trap unwary birds.
An Ancient Poet* spake the truth; he said
When Cypris cometh swift, high-spirited
Just like a Hero -- irresistible
Her onslaught, nor may anyone annul
Her summons; flouting Her is arrogance,
A failure to respect the difference
`Tween Gods and Mortals; nor can even They
Resist Her Power. She is held at bay
By only three: Athena, Bright-Eyed Maid,
And Artemis, who haunts both wood and glade,
And Hestia reject the Paphian's Dove,
For They alone deny delights of Love.
The Cyprian's summons is a challenge. Be
Thou brave and answer it, for verily
A God hath willed it; surely stinging grief
Will be refusal's price, so seek relief,
Conforming to the Paphian's Will.
So spake the Poet Truths he would instill.
Far-shining Aphrodite, hear our prayer!
Thou Laughter-loving Lady, Paphian,
Well-girded, Golden, Sea-born, Cyprian,
Companion, Tender-hearted, or howe'er
It pleaseth Thee to be addressed, attend,
We ask, our words of praise, and send
Thy Grace, because Thou art the source of all
That's charming, graceful, all that doth enthrall
In word or deed, in action, figure, face.
For Thine is the allure that doth enlace
Our hearts as one, for as the charmed is bound,
So also is the charmer quickly found
Surrendering, with yearning undisguised,
The compromiser gladly compromised!
But irresistible is even this,
Seducer falling to seduction; bliss
Repaid is twofold bliss, drawing tight
The bonds about them both, in shared delight.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I call in ancient sounds:
Aphrodite Khrusostephane Glukumeilikh' O he
Kalligloute Thea Pandeme Hetaira su Morpho,
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Or whatever name doth please Thee,
Hear! If ever I've appeased Thee,
Now attend my prayer beseeching,
See my hands toward Thee reaching,
Know my love is everlasting!
Lady, grant the gift I'm asking
And appear before us, whether
Now sojourning deep in Nether
Regions with the Queen of Hades,
Or in Heaven with Thy Ladies,
Founts of all allure, the Graces,
Fair Their form and fair Their faces!
I request Thee, leave Thy station!
Grant to us a visitation!
Show to us Thy face delightful!
Let us worship Thee as rightful,
Shapely form that's Thine adoring!
Hear our voices now upsoaring
To the Heavens from our chorus!
Please, we ask Thee, stand before us!
Queen of Twilight, Queen of Morning!
Deeds just done or now aborning
Are Thy favorites; prized the clever
Warrior of the bold endeavor!
Dear to Thee the Sun that's rising,
Thou reward for enterprising
Souls, Thou prize of tasks completed,
Thou in rivalry entreated
To bestow Thy grace, advising,
Bold advances galvanizing!
Such Thy gift and such Thy favor,
All of the characters in this plot have to fight for something, and Haimon, Creon's son and Antigone's Fiance falls victim to their determination. Antigone buries her brother, which means Haimon has to face the fatality of his loves execution and Creon is the one to punish Antigone so Haimon feels his father couldn't care about anything but the way he is viewed as King.Haimon has a lot to contest for and uses the three appeals, pathos, logos and ethos to do this.His fiance Antigone breaks the king’s laws and therefore has to face the consequences. She is punished with death by the laws holder.This tragic sister welcomes death, as it is an honor for whom she encounters it for. But Haimon won’t accept this and knows that If anybody were to
While reading the play Antigone, written by Sophocles, there are many areas of disagreement. I will be discussing the conflict between the two main characters, Antigone and Kreon The main conflict occurs between Antigone and Kreon. The problem deals with burial of Antigone’s dead brother. Antigone had two brothers that were both killed in battle, however one brother, Polyneices, fought against their home city and was considered a traitor. Kreon felt disrespected by Polyneices’ choice (or alliance), therefore he does not allow him to be buried. Kreon published a law that stated whoever attempted to bury this man will be put to death. Kreon states, “Polyneices, I say, is to have no burial: no
I hope that you can see my education and future are advancing as we speak. This doesn’t mean I haven’t had a few bumps in the road, because I have. Actually, some of the bumps have unfortunately been financial aid. But, I am growing. It is a day to day continual experience of growth and it’s exciting for me to see where it takes me. Again, thank you for this opportunity and all the work you do as an organization.
Though one should consider the argument by some historians that the Byzantine Empire was really a continuation of the Roman empire and not in fact a new entity. The Byzantine Empire had been formed in Late Antiquity by the splitting of the Roman empire between the two heirs of Theodosius I. While the two halves retained some ties for all intents and purposes the two were independent entities after 395 CE. While the Western Empire continued to decline, the Byzantines actually flourished and by the 4th century included the Balkans, Greece, Anatolia (Asia Minor), the Levant, and parts of North Africa including Egypt. While Byzantium’s power fluctuated, especially during conflicts with the Islamic civilization and during internal wars, for the majority of its history the Byzantine Empire was a strong political, cultural and economic power in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Significant conflicts in the 11th century caused the Byzantine Empire to decline and this decline was made worse by the Sack of Constantinople in 1204 by the Venetian Crusaders. After this defeat, Byzantium was split into two portions and remained so until 1261 when it was reunified. However, the damage was done and internal conflict and civil war continued to plague the Empire until it ultimately was destroyed by the Ottoman Turks in
This myth is about a young lad named Phaethon that visits the sun palace looking for proof if his father is the sun god. This myth begins when Phaethon arrives at the sun palace and he is met by a radiant palace with a God who has a very bright crown. So then, Phaethon asks the sun god if he is his father. Therefore the sun god answers and says that Phaethon is his son and that he could choose anything in the palace for proof. For example, Phaethon chooses the chariot so he could ride high in the sky and everyone would see him on the sun god’s chariot. However the sun god did not like that idea and told Phaethon about the dangers of riding the chariot, the sun god told Phaethon that there were sky beasts that would try to kill him and that
Aphrodite was one of the nine that were known as the Great Goddesses, “an awful and lovely goddess,” according to Hesiod (Theogony), born of the foam that ensued when Kronos cut off Uranos’ genitals and they fell into the sea. She first walked ashore in Cyprus, and was welcomed by the Seasons (Hours):
1. The Greek character I have chosen would have to be Aphrodite. The reason for my decision, is the way Aphrodite was represented as the most kind of like modern, she represents desire so she always acts on her urges, of course so does a lot of the gods, however Aphrodite is what drives that desire her pure existence is desire, she is known as Golden Aphrodite or the laughing goddess, which is a great designation on how Aphrodite acted, very much not serious at all, she is always depicted laying around or standing in a very lazy manner, which is I enjoy about Aphrodite her personality is completely leisurely she really represents pleasure. The reason Aphrodite is one of the most important characters in Greek mythology, well for one she was practically one of the most important characters
Henry Adams once wrote "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." This is so true, every teacher here has taught us much more than the textbook curriculum. Every teacher here tonight has given us students something we will use or remember for the rest of our lives. I really don't think people understand or appreciate the time and effort our teachers have put into us. So tonight I'm not going to give everyone advice on the future, I'm not going to tell you how life is a journey we've just begun, and I'm not going to brag about how great the class of 2006 is. Since we have eight outstanding Valedictorians this year, I'm sure all of those bases are already covered. So instead, I'm going to take a few minutes here to thank some of the teachers and staff that have made a difference in my own life, and by doing so I hope that everybody present tonight will see how important each and every teacher and staff member is at Amos High School.
When customer identify with specific brand and has emotional attachment they form a psychological attachment and relationship with the brand and try tell those thing of the brand which he/she like and work instinctively to the benefit of the brand (Kuenzel & halliday, 2010). Thomson et al, (2005) argued that brand identification such as brand attachment, brand connection and bond with brand, has strongly predicts the frequency of past and future purchase of the brand. The intense relation and attachment also drives consumer toward the benefit of the brand by purchasing the specific brand. Kuenzel et al. (2010) identify that the brand identification concept is built on social identity theory in which consumer are engaged with the brand and extensively of the brand concept in other self-restraints. Identification based on social identity theory is in core a perception of oneness with a group of persons and make an identity in marketing we can also say that customer make their brand as an identity of their self-mean people identify someone with their brand (Albert et al., 2013). The customers who they uses the brand and they emotionally attached to the brand make the brand their identity, those customer called evangelist.. Stronger brand identification with consumer disposed to emotional attachment in pro-brand activities. Their self as an evangelist with the brand and also with the manufacturer (Bhattacharya &Sen,
As a speaker at our graduation I am supposed to represent all of the graduating class from State University but I don’t see the relevancy in that. I am only one story in this diverse group of experiences. However, we were all achievers growing up, we have been a success in college and we will be the difference in the future and that is something I am proud to represent. Allow me to speak for all of us when I say thank you to this school for giving us our college experiences, to the teachers in our departments for opening our minds to the world and to all those who have shaped our lives up until this point giving us the drive to learn and the ability to finish this monumental goal. We will make it up to each and everyone of you in the future with our positive influence on the world. Thank you…
All in all being a surgeon has been a lifelong dream of mine. As a surgeon you must be prepared for anything every single day of every single year. Some may be able to handle that others might not. Surgeons may arguably have the hardest, most stressful job. They have another person’s life in their hands and that person may live or die based on the actions of that surgeon. The work is tuff, the education is rougher but being able to withstand all that, and fighting each and every day to reach my ultimate goal is well worth it. Once I start I won’t turn back, being a surgeon is what I want to do, since I’ve started highs school I have had my eyes set on this job and giving up isn’t a option. After learning all these things I have, I want to be a surgeon. This job saves lives and being able to do that will make my life worth wild.
I am not sure how many new board members are aware with CTE, but over the next few minutes, I want to explain why having a High School diploma is simply not enough.

The brand identity building process is complex. This is especially true for organizations that offer a range of services and products. The process entails extensive research, including market research, marketing audit, competitive audit and usability, and a clear branding strategy. Furthermore, a brand identity is only truly successful when customers closely identify with the brand. This happens when a brand caters to customer requirements and preferences. Marketers have to keep this in mind and ensure that the brand identity is aligned with, and relevant to, its customers.
Due to the fact that during a surgery you will be using your hands you must be very careful even if you are wearing safety equipment. Protective wear can help tremendously by eliminating any easy route of transmission of any viruses, or diseases etc. Through medical school it will be required that surgeons wear gear that will protect them. Always wear protective gear no matter how little the operation could be, surgeons will always be exposed to some kinds of bacteria which can be foreign to your own. According to Paul A. Ruggieri M.D.’s novel, “I love being a surgeon. I love being able to make a clear, tangible difference in the quality of a person’s life. Sometimes I even save a life. I am honored every time a patient comes to me, and I’m humbled at the trust that’s given.” Surgeons should have the same mindset as Dr. Ruggieri because making a difference in someone else 's life should be a huge priority. They should want to help someone with their problems. Surgeons leave a mark on other people’s life, and it should always be a positive one. The satisfaction knowing a surgery was performed on someone and treated their problems would feel
