Hiéron Du Val D'Or
The (English: "Sanctuary of the Golden Valley") was a Catholic esoteric secret society in France, which existed from 1873 until 1926. It was founded by a Jesuit Victor Drevon and the half-Basque, half-Russian Alexis de Sarachaga. It was allied to concepts of royalism and was culturally conservative; it sought to erect a Catholic hermetic freemasonry, contrary to the anti-clerical freemasonry of Grand Orient de France and was particularly devoted to Christ the King. History The group was founded in 1873 near the shrine at Paray-le-Monial, historical Burgundy, where St. Marguerite-Marie Alacoque had visions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, establishing the popular devotion. The area was popular in France as a pilgrimage destination, due to these connections. The ''Hiéron'' developed a museum and research center in 1877, which still exists to this day as the Musée du Hiéron. The building itself incorporated geometrical symbolism similar to that used within other Hermetic Christ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hiero 6
In 1914 Otto Hieronimus manufactured the six-cylinder Hiero E, also known as the Hiero 6 engine which was derived from earlier 4-cylinder engines. The Hiero engine like the Austro-Daimler powered many of Austria's World War I aircraft. Hiero aircraft engines were designed by Otto Hieronimus, a famous Austrian auto racer of the early 1900s. His initial designs were liquid-cooled inline engines built by the Laurin & Klement Automobile Works of Austria. Design and development The Hiero E had a 135 mm x 180 mm bore/stroke (15.46L / 943.4cuin) and delivered 200-230 hp. The engine had the typical features of an inline vertical 6-cylinder: aluminum crankcase, cast iron cylinders, one inlet and one exhaust valve per cylinder controlled by bars and rockers, as part of a "SOHC" (single overhead camshaft) valvetrain like the Mercedes D-series aviation engines of the German Empire, and dual ignition with two Bosch magnetos. During World War I, the highly regarded Hiero eng ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hieron (Caria)
Hieron was an ancient city and former bishopric in ancient Caria, Asia Minor, which remains a Latin Catholic titular see as Hieron. History Hieron, now Avsarkale in Asian Turkey, was important enough in the Roman province of Caria (civil Diocese of Asia) to become a suffragan of its capital Stauropolis's Metropolitan, in the sway of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. It has no historically documented bishops, but was mentioned in the Byzantine Empire's Notitia Episcopatuum, from the edition of pseudo-Epifanio, under emperor Heraclius I (circa 640), until Byzantine emperor Leo VI (early tenth century) and existed still in the thirteenth century.Vincenzo Ruggiari, ''A historical Addendum to the episcopal Lists of Caria'', in ''Revue des études byzantines'', 1996, Volume 54, Nr. 54, p. 233.

The Unforsaken Hiero
''The'' is a grammatical article in English, denoting nouns that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pronoun ''thee' ...

Hiero (Xenophon)
''Hiero'' (Greek: Ἱέρων, ''Hiéron'') is a minor work by Xenophon, set as a dialogue between Hiero, tyrant of Syracuse, Magna Graecia, and the lyric poet Simonides about 474 BC. The dialogue is a response to the assumption that a tyrant's life is more pleasant than a commoner's. Having lived as both, Hiero breaks down this misconception, arguing that a tyrant does not have any more access to happiness than a private person. Some of this concept is considered in the Sword of Damocles parable, several centuries later. Taken at face value, the Hiero appears to defend the superiority of tyranny over other forms of political organization. At the very least, Simonides praises the life of Hiero, a man who acquires power in the most unscrupulous manner and deprives the Syracusans of freedom. However, if read carefully, the Hiero indicates that a private life is superior to living life as a tyrant. Tyrants enjoy dominating others, but desire even more to be loved and honestly prai ...

Ancient Greek Temple
Greek temples (, semantically distinct from Latin language, Latin , "temple") were structures built to house deity statues within Greek sanctuaries in ancient Greek religion. The temple interiors did not serve as meeting places, since the Ancient Greek religion#Sacrifice, sacrifices and rituals dedicated to the deity took place outside them, within the wider precinct of the sanctuary, which might be large. Temples were frequently used to store votive offerings. They are the most important and most widespread surviving building type in Greek architecture. In the Hellenistic Greece, Hellenistic kingdoms of Southwest Asia and of North Africa, buildings erected to fulfill the functions of a temple often continued to follow the local traditions. Even where a Greek influence is visible, such structures are not normally considered as Greek temples. This applies, for example, to the Parthia, Graeco-Parthian and Bactrian temples, or to the Ptolemaic Egypt, Ptolemaic examples, which follow ...
