I grew up the daughter of Ceto and Phorcys, the ancient sea god of the hidden dangers of the deep seas and gods of the sea creatures. Unlike any other offspring of a god I was born mortal, an outcast from my family. I left to go to the city of Akitiki to become a priestess of Athena's temple, only to get stuck in between the feud of gods.For years there have been stories about Medusa, coming and going in different versions. Finally the truth of Medusa's life is revealed; another tragic mythology story of a human stuck in between the feud of gods. This is a story from Medusa's perspective, explaining parts of her life never spoken of before. Her life started being born from immortal gods as a mortal herself, then a beautiful priestess of Athens temple, then an outlaw monster wanted dead. Figuring out who Medusa is and what her real purpose is, she's set on a journey to find herself with the help of the people around her-struggling with the realization of who she really is and fighting to her controversial end.

Private associations abounded in the ancient Greek world and beyond, and this volume provides the first large-scale study of the strategies of governance which they employed. Emphasis is placed on the values fostered by the regulations of associations, the complexities of the private-public divide (and that divide's impact on polis institutions) and the dynamics of regional and global networks and group identity. The attested links between rules and religious sanctions also illuminate the relationship between legal history and religion. Moreover, possible links between ancient associations and the early Christian churches will prove particularly valuable for scholars of the New Testament. The book concludes by using the regulations of associations to explore a novel and revealing aspect of the interaction between the Mediterranean world, India and China.

Tämä käännös perustuu Project Guttenbergin englanninkieliseen käännökseen Snorri Sturlasonin Heimskringlasta. Kyseisen käännöksen nimi on Heimskringla, The Chronicle of the Kings of Norway. Se julkaistiin Project Guttenbergissä 27. marraskuuta 2009 ja sen viimeisin versio on päivätty helmikuun 6, 2013. Sen ovat Project Guttenbergille tuottaneet Douglas B. Killings ja David Widger. Alun perin Heimskringla kirjoitettiin vanhalla norjan kielellä n. 1225 runoilija ja historioitsija Snorri Sturlasonin toimesta. Heimskringla itsessään on suomennettu maailmankehräksi. Vaikka oppineet ja historioitsijat jatkavat keskustelua Heimskringlan historiallisesta tarkkuudesta, niin sitä yhä pidetään tärkeänä viikinkiajan alkuperäislähteenä, jonka Sturlason teoksessaan kattoi melkein kokonaan.
