Portrait Of Lord Moira
''Portrait of Lord Moira'' is a portrait painting by the English artist Sir Joshua Reynolds of the Irish soldier and politician Francis Rawdon-Hastings, 1st Marquess of Hastings, then known as the Earl of Moira. A member of the Protestant Ascendancy, Moira served in the British Army during the American War of Independence. He subsequently became known as a friend of the young George, Prince of Wales. In 1806, he served in the Ministry of All the Talents as Master General of the Ordnance, the senior military position in the cabinet. In 1812, during the Regency era Moira was considered a prospective Prime Minister by George, now Prince Regent, but was unable to form a compromise cabinet between Whigs and Tories. Instead in 1813, he accepted the lesser but lucrative position of Governor-General of India which he held for a decade. Begun in 1789 and finished by the next year, it was one of the last times Reynolds directly depicted a sitter due to his failing eyesight.A full-leng ...

Moirai
In ancient Greek religion and Greek mythology, mythology, the Moirai ()often known in English as the Fateswere the personifications of fate, destiny. They were three sisters: Clotho (the spinner), Lachesis (mythology), Lachesis (the allotter), and Atropos (the inevitable, a metaphor for death). Their Roman mythology, Roman equivalent is the Parcae. The role of the Moirai was to ensure that every being, mortal and divine, lived out their destiny as it was assigned to them by the laws of the universe. For mortals, this destiny spanned their entire lives and was represented as a thread spun from a spindle. Generally, they were considered to be above even the gods in their role as enforcers of fate, although in some representations, Zeus, the chief of the gods, is able to command them. The concept of a universal principle of natural order and balance has been compared to similar concepts in other cultures such as the Vedic Ṛta, the Avestan Asha (Arta), and the Ancient Egyptian ...

Moira (military)
Moira (, pronounced ''míra'', plural ) is a Greek term for a military formation. Etymologically, it is derived from the roots *μερ- and *μορ-, which mean "to part". ''Moira'' therefore means "a part, a division", and is cognate with the similar term ''meros''. In the Byzantine period, it was used to denote brigade or division-sized commands, while in the modern Greek military, it is used by some branches to designate battalion-sized units. Byzantine usage In the late 6th to early 7th century, the Late Roman military system, which was still in use by the East Roman or Byzantine Empire, went through a process of martial transformations that culminated with the establishment of the new military-administrative theme system in the 680s. Every major division, called a ''thema'' (Greek: θέμα), was further divided into '' tourmai'' while each ''tourma'' was divided into ''moirai'' or '' droungoi'', which in turn were composed of several ''banda''. Thus each ''moira'' or ''dro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
