Book Description
Many years ago, the International Cricket Council and the world were told with irrefutable logic and mathematical proof that cricket was institutionally fixed. The authorities and others slept. A few years ago this was vindicated even through judicial process in the top Court of India. Everyone still remained in deep slumber. A key insider said this year that all cricket matches we see were fixed, akin to movies directed by someone else. Tippers openly announce same on social media round the clock. Yet, no one is concerned. What does it mean and how serious are the implications— financial, political, and social? Atul Kumar contemplates hard and deep, recounting his tumultuous odyssey, straight from the heart, with no holds barred. Recent global catastrophe from Corona virus curiously and sorely connects. Finally, here is a copy that will confound the learned readers many times over. Supported by the recorded account, it unravels all around camouflage; leading us to a new cherished order. An explosive work of distilled sagacity to mesmerise everyone across borders, religions, professions, genders, and generations. A must read for one and all. "We The Oodles" by Atul Kumar: Atul Kumar's book is likely a work of fiction or literature that explores the lives, experiences, or stories of a group of individuals or a community referred to as "Oodles." It may involve themes related to identity and belonging.

Gods and Mortals in Early Greek and Near Eastern Mythology
Author: Adrian Kelly
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108570240
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
This volume centres on one of the most important questions in the study of antiquity – the interaction between Greece and the Ancient Near East, from the Mycenaean to the Hellenistic periods. Focusing on the stories that the peoples of the eastern Mediterranean told about the gods and their relationships with humankind, the individual treatments draw together specialists from both fields, creating for the first time a truly interdisciplinary synthesis. Old cases are re-examined, new examples discussed, and the whole range of scholarly opinions, past and present, are analysed, critiqued, and contextualised. While direct textual comparisons still have something to show us, the methodologies advanced here turn their attention to deeper structures and wider dynamics of interaction and influence that respect the cultural autonomy and integrity of all the ancient participants.

The Codrus Painter
Author: Amalia Avramidou
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 029924783X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
The Codrus Painter was a painter of cups and vases in fifth-century B.C.E. Athens with a distinctive style; he is named after Codrus, a legendary Athenian king depicted on one of his most characteristic vases. He was active as an artist during the rule of Pericles, as the Parthenon was built and then as the troubled times of the Peloponnesian War began. In contrast to the work of fellow artists of his day, the vases of the Codrus Painter appear to have been created almost exclusively for export to markets outside Athens and Greece, especially to the Etruscans in central Italy and to points further west. Amalia Avramidou offers a thoroughly researched, amply illustrated study of the Codrus Painter that also comments on the mythology, religion, arts, athletics, and daily life of Greece depicted on his vases. She evaluates his style and the defining characteristics of his own hand and of the minor painters associated with him. Examining the subject matter, figure types, and motifs on the vases, she compares them with sculptural works produced during the same period. Avramidou’s iconographic analysis not only encompasses the cultural milieu of the Athenian metropolis, but also offers an original and intriguing perspective on the adoption, meaning, and use of imported Attic vases among the Etruscans.
