Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorf (1848 - 1931) war "mit seinen Editionsprojekten, seiner Erneuerung der Textkritik und Textinterpretation, seiner Einflussnahme auf die preußische Berufungspolitik und seiner Tätigkeit als Wissenschaftsorganisator [...] einer der führenden Vertreter seines Faches und prägte die Klassische Philologie des 20. Jahrhunderts im internationalen Raum nachhaltig. Durch seine Arbeiten zu vielen Bereichen der griechischen Literatur, seine Neudefinition des Faches und nicht zuletzt durch seine zahlreichen Schüler übte er großen Einfluss auf die Klassische Philologie aus." (Wikipedia) Mit dem hier vorliegenden Werk erreicht die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung um die sog. "Homerische Frage", ob die "Ilias" und die "Odyssee" Werke eines einzelnen Dichters oder mehrerer Dichter sind, ihren Höhepunkt. "Wilamowitz¿ Hauptanliegen war es, die schichtweise vollzogene Zufügung von Textteilen zum originalen Kern zu rekonstruieren (er spricht von vier Bearbeitern) und somit die 'Ur-Ilias' aus dem uns vorliegenden Epos herauszulösen. In Homer sah er einen Dichter der Ilias, der um 750 v. Chr. mehrere bereits vorhandene Einzelgedichte aus dem Stoffkreis der Trojasage unter dem übergreifenden Gedanken vom Zorn des Achilles kompiliert hatte. Diese homerische 'Ur-Ilias' sei später in vier Bearbeitungsphasen durch verschiedene Dichter verändert worden." (Wikipedia) Nachdruck der Originalausgabe aus dem Jahr 1916.

The book Dare to Fly! is an accumulation of many years of inspirational thoughts and spiritual insights. It's a message right out of the Bible on living the victorious Christian life. It deals with many problems and obstacles Christians face in their daily walk with Jesus. It deals with the area of a tremendous lack of faith experienced by a multitude of believers, even many pastors and teachers. Bible scriptures can produce the faith needed to be overcomers. This book is a sharing of wonderful truths that give all Christians hope. Their lives can be better, more fulfilled, and more productive--more than just settling for mediocrity!

Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, often known simply as Peter Pan, is a work by J. M. Barrie, in the form of a 1904 play and a 1911 novel titled Peter and Wendy, often extended in Peter Pan and Wendy. Both versions tell the story of Peter Pan, a mischievous little boy who can fly, and has many adventures on the island of Neverland that is inhabited by mermaids, fairies, "Indians" (American-Indians), and pirates. The Peter Pan stories also involve the characters Wendy Darling and her two brothers John and Michael, Peter's fairy Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and the pirate Captain Hook. The play and novel were inspired by Barrie's friendship with the Llewelyn Davies family. Barrie continued to revise the play for years after its debut until publication of the play script in 1928.

This book offers a fresh look at the status of the scribe in society, his training, practices, and work in the biblical world. What was the scribe's role in these societies? Were there rival scribal schools? What was their role in daily life? How many scripts and languages did they grasp? Did they master political and religious rhetoric? Did they travel or share foreign traditions, cultures, and beliefs? Were scribes redactors, or simply copyists? What was their influence on the redaction of the Bible? How did they relate to the political and religious powers of their day? Did they possess any authority themselves? These are the questions that were tackled during an international conference held at the University of Strasbourg on June 17-19, 2019. The conference served as the basis for this publication, which includes fifteen articles covering a wide geographical and chronological range, from Late Bronze Age royal scribes to refugees in Masada at the end of the Second Temple period.

Long ago, the Greek Gods were known and worshipped. The most well known was Zeus, King of the Gods. Then, without warning, they were gone. All knowledge of the gods were removed from mortal memory. The statues were all crushed and the stories simply vanished. Remnants of whispers were all that remained for any who listened hard enough. In the present day, no one can hear even that. Tavho is a veterinarian who is busy running a clinic and a shelter. Lyric is a budding horticulturalist who also enjoys landscaping. A chance meeting causes the first domino to fall and they become the key to finding the answers to unasked questions. Can their relationship survive the discovery? Can their world survive the same?
