Greek Mythology
A major branch of classical mythology, Greek mythology is the body of myths originally told by the ancient Greeks, and a genre of Ancient Greek folklore. These stories concern the origin and nature of the world, the lives and activities of deities, heroes, and mythological creatures, and the origins and significance of the ancient Greeks' own cult and ritual practices. Modern scholars study the myths to shed light on the religious and political institutions of ancient Greece, and to better understand the nature of myth-making itself. The Greek myths were initially propagated in an oral-poetic tradition most likely by Minoan and Mycenaean singers starting in the 18th century BC; eventually the myths of the heroes of the Trojan War and its aftermath became part of the oral tradition of Homer's epic poems, the '' Iliad'' and the '' Odyssey''. Two poems by Homer's near contemporary Hesiod, the '' Theogony'' and the '' Works and Days'', contain accounts of the genes ...

Cleopatra The Physician
Cleopatra the Physician ( Greek: Κλεοπάτρα; ) was a Greek medical writer and author of a manual entitled ''Cosmetics''. Identity and date Cleopatra's work is known from six fragments of her writing, probably all from ''Cosmetics.'' Four of these fragments are quoted by the 2nd–3rd century CE physician Galen, and the other two by the Byzantine physicians Aetius of Amida and Paulus of Aegina. Nothing is known about her life, but her work can be dated to the late 1st century as she refers to a weight standard which was only in use after 64 CE, and she is known to have been cited in another work entitled ''Cosmetics'' by the late 1st-century physician Crito, from which Galen took his quotations of Cleopatra's writing. The identification of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra VII (died 30 BCE) as the author of this work, made by some ancient writers (including Aetius), is therefore incorrect. It has, however, been argued that Cleopatra may have chosen this name as a pseudonym in r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
