In BC 55 Julius Caesar came, saw, conquered and then left.

For the next 400 years the island would be transformed. Within that period would see the rise of Londinium, almost immediately burnt to the ground in 60 AD by Boudicca; Hadrian's Wall which was constructed in 112 AD to keep the northern tribes at bay as well as the birth of the Emperor Constantine in third century York. Interwoven with the historical narrative is a social history of the period showing how roman society grew in Britain.

In the Mists of Time: Negotiating the Past in Ancient Literature
Author: Franco Montanari
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3111501892
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
The idea of the past, far from suggesting a nostalgic longing or an antiquarian curiosity for ages and cultures irrevocably lost, is essential to the human perception of the world. The volume at hand, entitled In the Mists of Time: Negotiating the Past in Ancient Literature, explores pastness as expressed through myth and early history and as reflected in sophisticated concepts and epistemological questions in Ancient Greek and Latin literature. The eighteen contributions illustrate how the ancients addressed the past through poetry, history and philosophy and lend insight into the metaliterary, self-reflexive way of dealing with past texts through scholarship.

The Mythical Elements

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
“After the Golden Age of the Titans, the fate of the universe was controlled by the Gods, until now…” The prophecy of the One has been finally spoken, the world is not privy to the fatality that is to befall it, and the Gods have no reaction to it. Or do they? Six youngsters, training to join the Spartan ranks, are exposed to the Godly world. But they have no idea of what awaits them. By opening the gates to this world, many ancient and unknown realms, realms that might be older than the Gods themselves, are discovered. The Six are the only beacon for the continued existence of the world. If they fail, the combustion will be so violent, that not only mankind and the Gods, but also many other beings maintaining the balance in the universe might cease to exist.

The Good Life and the Greater Good in a Global Context
Author: Laura Savu Walker
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498522335
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The Good Life and the Greater Good in a Global Context offers a timely contribution to the debates about the good life that surround us every day in the media, politics, the humanities, and social sciences. The authors’ examine the relationship between the good life and the greater good as represented across different genres, media, cultures, and disciplines. This enables them to develop a framework of values that transcends the overly rational and individualistic model of the good life advanced by neoliberalism and the “happiness industry.” Thus, over and against normative conceptualizations of the good life that reduce meaning to money, creativity to consumption, and compassion to self-help, the contributors propose an ethically charged philosophy of living that views the care for the self, for the other, and for the planet as the catalysts of true human flourishing. In addition to recovering the original usage of “the good life” from classical thought—especially the Aristotelian understanding of eudaimonia as living well and doing well—the essays gathered here highlight its entanglement with distinctly modern ideas of happiness, wellbeing, flourishing, progress, revolution, democracy, the American Dream, utopia, and sustainability. As such, the essays capture the breadth and depth of the conversation about the good life that is of central importance to how we relate to the past, engage the present, and envision the future.
