1. The apple of ERIS
Many years ago , in ancient times, when the twelve gods lived in Olympus, Zeus decided to marry the king of Phthia, Peleus, to a sea fairy, Thetis, the daughter of Nereus. The wedding took place in Pelion and all the gods and goddesses were invited. Only Eris , the goddess of strife, was not invited, because wherever she went she sowed hatred and quarrels. She got very angry and went to the wedding unseen and left an all-gold apple on the table, on which she had written: “to the most beautiful”. Immediately Hera, Athena and Aphrodite began to argue about who was the most beautiful who would get the apple. They also asked Zeus, but he did not want to upset any of the three goddesses. That is why he told them to go to the mountain Ida, next to Troy, where Paris, the son of King Priam, was grazing his flock on a slope, so that he could choose the most beautiful goddess. So the three goddesses, together with Hermes, flew to Ida and stood in front of the startled king. Hermes told him the will of Zeus and gave him the golden apple of Eris. Then Hera ordered him to make him the greatest king, Athena the bravest and wisest warrior and Aphrodite to find him the most beautiful woman to marry. Paris, after thinking about it, gave the golden apple to Aphrodite. Hera and Athena left angry, while Aphrodite revealed to Paris that the beautiful Helen, the wife of Menelaus, the king of Sparta, was the most beautiful in the world and advised him to go and get her.

. Paris prepared a fast boat and left for Sparta. He arrived at Menelaus’ palace bearing rich gifts. There everyone welcomed him and hosted him, as befits the king of Troy. However, Paris, with the help of Aphrodite, outwitted Helen and convinced her to follow him. And one day when Menelaus was away, they left for Troy.The abduction of Helen by Paris. Among them is the winged god Eros.

When Menelaus heard the news, that Paris took Helen from him, and he wanted to take revenge on him and bring her back, he left Crete and went straight to Mycenae to his brother Agamemnon. Then, together with the wise Nestor the king of Pylos, they decided to send an invitation to all the kings and heroes in every part of Greece, to take part in this campaign which was a matter of honor. The rapist had to be punished, or no one could henceforth be sure of his wife, when the sacred institutions of hospitality were thus violated. It was therefore necessary for everyone to consider the insult that Paris did to Menelaus as personal. However, the fates and the oracles of the oracles played their role here as well: those who knew their destiny, hardly decided to follow the campaign. Odysseus, the resourceful and brave son of Laertes and king of Ithaca, knew from then on that it would be twenty years before he would see his people again, so he pretended to be mad when Agamemnon and Palamedes went to call him. He was newly married and had just had a son, Telemachus. So, dressed funny and acting crazy they found him plowing his field. The cunning Palamedes revealed his pretense by placing the young Telemachus before the plough, Naturally, Odysseus did not step over the child’s body, but stopped ploughing. There went the old Nestor, the king of Pylos, Idomeneus from Crete, Aeandas from Salamis, the other Aeandas from Locris, Diomedes from Argos, Philoctetes, the friend of Herakles, from Magnesia, the Odysseus from Ithaca and Achilles, the son of Peleus and Thetis from Phthia with his friend Patroclus and the brave Myrmidons. They chose Agamemnon as their leader.

The fortress of Troy was located on the Ida mountain, beyond the Hellespont. Poseidon and Apollo had built it for Laomedon. At the time when the events that will be mentioned next took place, Laomedon’s son Priam, who had Hekabe as his wife, reigned in Troy. Priam was originally called Podarkis (good-footed) and was the brother of Isione who had followed Telamon to Salamis, married him and gave birth to Teucros and Aedes who both took part in the Trojan War. Achaeans and Trojans seem to have been members NOT only of the SAME branch of Greeks race (same language, religion and customs) BUT ALSO THE SAME FAMILY In the fortress of Troy Priam raised a royal family with so many children that no other like it is mentioned. He gave birth to fifty sons, besides daughters. The first-born was Hector, followed by Paris, Diiphobus, Helen, Polydoros, Troilus, etc. Of the daughters, the most famous are Kreusa, Laodiki, Polyxeni and Cassandra who had fortune-telling abilities.

Troy, the hero who gave his name to the Trojan people, is the son of Erichthonius, the grandson of Dardanus, and his mother was Astyochus. He married Callirroi, daughter of Scamandros and had a daughter Cleopatra (the name Cleopatra is Greek) and three sons: Ilos who founded the citadel of Ilium, Assarakos and Ganymede whom Zeus loved.

.Priam had originally married Arisbe from whom he had fathered Aesacus. He then abandoned her and proceeded to marry Hekavi. Hekabi was extremely fertile. Although ancient writers do not agree on the number of children she bore, the family she raised with Priam was very large.Hector, King Priam and Queen Hecuba – Trojan War – Red Figure AmphoraPriam had originally married Arisbe from whom he had fathered Aesacus.

Paris and Helen of Menelaus

Agamemnon, The king of Mycenae, had married Clytemnestra and Menelaus had married Helen. Menelaus reigned in Sparta and there he received Paris and his entourage when he visited, bringing with him rich gifts. When Paris saw Helen, he was dazzled by her beauty. Menelaus honored the foreign king according to the customs of hospitality, but on the tenth day he was forced to leave for Crete. Then Paris found the opportunity and approached Helen who could not resist the power of Aphrodite. So she accepted the treasures that Paris gave her and followed him at night. The couple left secretly and arrived in Troy where their wedding was celebrated. Then Iris, the messenger of the gods, brought the news to Menelaus who was in Crete.

The Achaean campaign in Troy Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world at that time was desired by all the princes of Greece. Tyndareus, her father, had a hard time deciding. Then, according to Odysseus’ idea, Tyndareus decided to bind all prospective grooms with an oath, that they would accept the election of Helen herself and that they would rush to help if the honor of the husband happened to be threatened. This oath was invoked by the Atreides in requesting the participation of so many heroes in the campaign. On the subject of Helen the Fair, Euripides wrote in 412 BC. the tragedy “Helen”. The Italian neoclassical sculptor Antonio Canova created the “Helen of Troy” statue.

But also the brave Achilles, the greatest figure of this war, was sent by his mother to hide in the palace of the king of Skyros, Lycomedes, dressed as a woman, among his cousins. This was revealed by the trick of Odysseus, who went with women’s dresses and ornaments to the palace, gifts for the king’s daughters among whom were hidden a spear and a shield. As Odysseus showed the lyuses to the maidens, he caused the war trumpet to sound the sound of battle. Then Achilles, unrestrained, grabbed the weapons he had been wandering around before and prepared for an attack. This is how the expeditionary force was revealed and followed to Avlida. It took ten years for the flower of valor and martial art to be concentrated in the port of Avlida at that time. Among the heroes were the king of Pylos the wise Nestor, Diomedes the hero of Aetolia, Aedas the son of Telamon, Aedas the Locros, Idas, the king of Crete Idomeneas and others.

Trojan War – Iliad

The Achaeans, faithful to their religion and traditions, made a sacrifice before the start of the Trojan war so that the gods would reveal signs about the future and its outcome. During the sacrifice, a snake was presented whose spine was red as blood. This snake came out of the altar and climbed the plane tree that was nearby. On the highest branch was a sparrow with her young. The snake swallowed the eight sparrows in turn and then their mother. Once he had swallowed all nine birds, he was turned into stone, by Zeus. The seer Calchus interpreted this unnatural event as follows: the siege of Troy would last nine years and in the tenth it would fall.

Troy or Ilion was the site of these deadly battles, protected by Apollo with the silver bow. The first dead of the war was Protesilaus, on the side of the Achaeans, to whom they erected a monument and honored him. The goddesses Athena and Hera helped the Achaean troops. In Homer’s epic, the Iliad, many of the events that took place in the Trojan War are mentioned. The most important of these have as their protagonist the brave Achilles whose fame of exploits has spread far and wide.

Protesilaos, the first casualty of the Trojan War, was a Thessalian and indeed one of Helen’s potential suitors. He took part in the war with a fleet of forty ships. While jumping off the ship, he was struck by Hector.

ACHILEUS and AJAX.-NEPHEW OF PRIAM) Two heroes with a lot in common, in morals, bravery and mental cultivation. The great Heracles once passed through the kingdom of Telamon and begged Zeus to make invulnerable the new-born AJAX he had wrapped with his lioness. AJAX indeed became invulnerable except for the shoulder, the ribs and the armpit, that is, the points corresponding to those covered by the quiver on the body of Hercules.

Zeus was warned of a prophecy that Thetis would have a son who would grow up to be greater than his father. Worried by this, Zeus arranged for Thetis to marry a mortal man so that her child couldn’t challenge his power. In another version of the story, Thetis rejects Zeus’s advances and a furious Zeus decrees that she will never marry a god. Either way, Thetis ends up married to the mortal Peleus and Achilles is born.

Thetis attempts to make the baby Achilles immortal, by dipping him in the River Styx (the river that runs through the underworld), while holding him by his heel. The one part of his body left untouched by the waters becomes his only point of weakness, hence the phrase ‘Achilles heel.

The learned centaur Chiron instructs the boy Achilles in the playing of the lyre. He rests upon his equine haunch and wears an animal-skin cloak and wreath of laurel.

The father Peleus advises his son, Achilles,
as he leaves for war.

“Aien exceletuein…”, that is,
“always be first and surpass all in battle”.

Peleus, because Achilles was still very young, sent with him and his teacher, the Phoenix, to advise him:

And the gods looked on from Olympus. Poseidon, Hera, Athena were with the Achaeans. Ares,

Aphrodite, Apollo with the Trojans. And Zeus sometimes with the Achaeans and sometimes with the Trojans.
In the last year of the war, when food was scarce and the army was starving, Agamemnon sent a ship to bring the Oenotropics to Troy. They, however, leaving Delos, begged the god Dionysus to help them. And Dionysus turned them into doves and they flew away and returned to DELOS

The Achaeans reach Troy
Traveling to Troy, the Achaeans passed through Delos. There, in the temple of Apollo, Anios was a priest who had three daughters, the Oinotropes. The soil that Spermo touched became wheat. The soil touched by Oino became wine and the soil touched by Elaida became oil. Anius, who was also a soothsayer, told the Achaeans that in ten years they would take Troy and invited them to stay nine years in Delos and in the tenth year to go to Troy. However, they did not accept.
So the Achaeans left Delos and in a few days they reached Troy. There reigned Priam and Hecabe who had fifty sons and many daughters. One of their daughters was Cassandra who was a fortune teller. However, Apollo had punished her and no one believed her words.
The Trojans, seeing the countless ships of the Achaeans, took their weapons and ran to the shore to fight them. Their leader was Priam’s eldest son, Hector, the brother of Paris. None of the Achaeans dared to set foot on land. Thetis had told them that the first one to set foot on Troy’s soil would fall dead. Then Odysseus threw his shield on the land and with one leap stood on it. Fooled by his trick, Protesilaos jumped second and stepped on the ground. And immediately he fell dead from Hector’s pole. Then began a terrible battle. The Trojans were defeated and shut up in the city walls. The Achaeans pulled their ships ashore and made a camp which they closed with a wooden wall, because they understood that it would take a long time before they could conquer Troy. The anger of Achilles
For nine years the Achaeans fought in Troy, but Priam’s castle was unoccupied and the Trojans, led by Hector, defended it bravely. In the tenth year , however, Achilles and Agamemnon quarreled over two beautiful slaves, Chrysis and Briseis. This brought many calamities to the Achaeans. Chrysis was Agamemnon’s slave . Chrysis`s father, who was a priest of Apollo, came supplicating to the Achaean camp, bearing rich gifts, the golden rod and the god’s sacred wreaths. He fell at Agamemnon’s feet and begged him to give Chrysis back to him. Agamemnon did not respect the old man and angrily kicked him out. Chrysis then begged Apollo to punish the Achaeans severely. Apollo heard him from Olympus and immediately took his bow and went to the camp of the Achaeans . He sat aside and, unseen, he shot animals and people with his arrows. Then a terrible disease fell among them and the Achaeans died, one after the other.

The evil lasted nine days . On the tenth day the kings asked the soothsayer Calchas to tell them why such calamity befell them. He said that Apollo was angry because Agamemnon did not respect Chrysis. To stop the evil, Agamemnon sent Chryseis back to her father. However,Chrysis, her father, who was a priest of Apollo, came supplicating to the Achaean camp, bearing rich gifts, the golden rod and the god’s sacred wreaths. He fell at Agamemnon’s feet and begged him to give Chryseis back to him. Agamemnon did not respect the old man and angrily kicked him out. Chrysis then begged Apollo to punish the Achaeans severely. Apollo heard him from Olympus and immediately took his bow and went to the camp of the Achaeans . He sat aside and, unseen, he shot animals and people with his arrows. Then a terrible disease fell among them and the Achaeans died, one after the other he ordered Achilles’ slave, Briseis, to be brought to his tent. Achilles became very angry, hatred and rage filled his soul. He wanted to kill Agamemnon for insulting him, but the goddess Athena ran and restrained him. However, embittered, he closed himself in his tent and swore never to fight again.

The death of Patroclus
Achilles was no longer fighting and the Trojans took courage. Fierce battles took place outside Troy’s walls and countless Achaeans fell dead.
Desperate then, Agamemnon sent to Achilles the old Phoenicus, Achilles’ teacher, Aiades, the strongest warrior of the Achaeans, and the versatile Odysseus, to beg him to return to the battle and would give him back Brisida and countless gifts. But Achilles did not accept and said that he would fight only if the Trojans reached his ships.
The fighting continued more fiercely. The Trojans chased the Achaeans to their camp. Hector smashed the wooden gate of the camp with a huge stone and the Trojans rushed in and set fire to a ship. The Achaeans were saved by Aedas, who wounded Hector and the battle stopped for a while.
Seeing the suffering of the Achaeans, Patroclus went to his friend Achilles. “Achilles,” he said to him, “the Trojans are burning our ships. Since you do not fight, they fear no one. Give me your armour, your chariot with your immortal horses and your brave Myrmidons, that I may fight in your place.’
Achilles agreed and advised him to drive the Trojans out of the camp and turn back.

Patroclus rushed with the brave Myrmidons into battle. The Trojans, whethey saw him, thought it was Achilles and ran away towards Troy. Achilles tends tthe wounded Patroclus.
From an ancient Greek vase.

Patroclus forgot Achilles’ advice and chased the Trojans to the walls of Troy. But Hector met him there, he went close and they started to fight.
Then Apollo struck Patroclus on the back. He fell down and Hector killed him and took Achilles’ divine weapons from him.
There was a fight around the dead body. The immortal horses of Achilles, Xanthus and Valios, which Poseidon had given him, as if they saw Patroklos dead, bowed their heads and wet the earth with their tears. The Achaeans took the dead Patroclus and brought him to the ships. Achilles, seeing his friend dead, burst into lamentation. His mother Thetis heard him and came out of the sea to comfort him. And she herself went to Olympus and brought him new armor, which Hephaestus had made for him.

The Lament of Achilles
The news of Patroclus’ death was brought to Achilles by Nestor’s son, Antilochus.”Patroklos has fallen, and his turn for the dead is beaten,naked, because Hector has taken his chariots!”.
On hearing this, Achilles’ pain bursts forth wildly: without hesitation the hero pours black ash on his head with both hands, and then, with his beautiful face strained, his divine robe soiled, he falls and lies on the ground, pulling and tearing out his hair. For fear, lest in his despair he draw his sword and be killed, Antilochus is forced to hold his hands. Achilles does not speak, only moans loudly. Homer, Iliad S 20-35

The shield of Achilles
Hephaestus puts all his art into making Achilles’ new armor. But mostly he worked on the round shield. In the picture we see him handing it over to Thetis. He puts first the earth, the sea and the sky with the sun, the moon and all the stars. And then he starts drawing two states side by side. In the first, people have peace. They marry their children with songs and joys and settle their differences with judges. In the other state they have a war. Inside the city the women, children and old men have stayed, while outside the walls two armies have fallen into battle. The wounded and the dead lie all around. So Hephaestus tells the story of the joys of peace and the miseries of war. Then he puts the farmers plowing their fields, the laborers harvesting with sickles, he puts vines laden with grapes and people who harvested them while singing, he puts shepherds tending their flocks , features dancing boys and girls with flowers in their hair. And all around he makes the vast Ocean sparkle. And when he is done, he stands to look at her. He knows that if people notice the beauty of the shield, they will no longer want to fight. They will want to dance and sing, plow their fields, harvest their vines and tend their flocks. They will want to live in peace. And this shield of Achilles is the first, the only weapon ever made that invites not war but peace.

Rage and despair together filled the heart of Achilles after the death of Patroclus and he wanted to take revenge on Hector, who killed his fraternal friend. The next day he put on his new armor, harnessed his immortal horses to his chariot, and with his Myrmidons went to war.

Hector bids farewell to Andromache and Astyanaktas.
From an ancient Greek vase.

Inside the castle of Troy, Hector said goodbye to Andromache, his wife, took in his arms for the last time his little son, Astyanactus, and he too went out to fight. The Trojans were outside their walls ready for battle. However, seeing Achilles arriving, they were frightened. Half ran inside the walls to save themselves and the other half ran to the plain. Achilles chased them and a fierce battle ensued. The Trojans fell dead one after the other. Priam, who was watching the battle from the walls, ordered and the gates were opened for the army to enter to save itself. Only the brave Hector did not shut himself up in the walls, but remained to face the enemy. Priam and Hecabe, his mother, and the beautiful Andromachi high above the walls. At some point Achilles saw him and rushed at him like a beast. Hector lost it and started running. Three times he ran around the city and Achilles chased him. At last Hector stopped running and stood to face him. Achilles rushed at him and the fight began.
They fought hard, for both were brave lads. Finally, Achilles struck Hector in the neck with his pole and threw him to the ground. Troy’s bravest warrior was now dead. High from the walls the Trojans looked and mourned. But Priam and Hecabe, his mother, and the beautiful Andromache mourned more.

Achilles-Hector duel. From an ancient Greek vase

Immediately Achilles took the dead man’s weapons, tied his legs with leather straps from the chariot and let his head drag on the ground. Then he struck his horses and they galloped towards the ships, dragging the dead Hector with them.
The next day the Achaeans burned the dead Patroclus. Achilles cut his long hair and put it in Patroclus’ hands, to be burned with him. He washed his bones with wine and placed them in a golden vessel, which his mother Thetis had given him.
The dead Hector remained unburied for eleven days, until Priam went to Achilles, fell at his feet and begged him to give him the body of his child to bury. Achilles was moved. He ordered the dead body to be washed and adorned, and gave it to the old king, to be taken to Troy. And he ordered the war to cease for eleven days, so that the Trojans could mourn and burn the dead, as was their custom.

Parents’ dreams for their children
Hector, before clashing with Achilles, enters the castle of Troy and bids farewell to his family. There he meets his wife Andromache and his young son Astyanaktas.As soon as he opened his arms to his son, the little one was frightened by the weapons and helmet and pulled away. Then Hector and Andromache laughed. He took off the brilliant helmet and laid it on the ground.
He then took the son, kissed him, danced with him in his arms,
and so he prayed to Zeus and to the other gods:
“Father Zeus and you other gods, give this one,
my son, as I shine among the Trojans to become
a strong man, and to rule Troy with great power.
and one should say: “much better than this one’s parent,”
as if he were returning from the war with bloody spoils of
an enemy he had killed, and his mother would be deeply rejoicing.”/ Homer, Iliad G 474-481,

Games to honor Patroklos
Achilles, after the burial of Patroklos, organizes games to honor his dead friend. The competitions are many: chariot racing, boxing, wrestling, road, armed combat, discus, archery, javelin. All the Achaean lads took part in the games and won great prizes from the hands of Achilles. Spectators participate by shouting and placing bets. In the last race, Achilles gives Agamemnon the first prize without letting him compete, since everyone knew that he was the first among the Greeks both in strength and in chariots. Thus the two rivals reconcile, after the destruction caused by their conflict. Patroclus was honored like no other hero. Everyone will remember his power and want to be like him. This was also the purpose of the epitaph matches.// Homer, Iliad Ps 258-897 (adaptation).

Winners and losers cry together
And as both of them remembered their pain, Priam wept the manly Hector, huddled before Achilles’ feet, and Achilles wept with his father and Patroclus, and the lamentations echoed all around.

Homer, Iliad Ω 509-512 (free translation by G. Economides).

The end of Achilles
After Hector’s burial , the war outside Troy’s walls resumed. Achilles killed the Trojan warriors one after another. One day, however, when he was outside the Shadow Gates, the largest gate of the castle of Troy, Apollo saw him and advised Paris to shoot him with his arrows in his right heel. His
mother , Thetis, when he was young, had made him immortal by immersing him in the enchanted waters of Lake Styx. However, his right heel was not wet, because it was holding him back from there. So Paris marked Achilles and stuck a medicated arrow in his right heel. Groaning, the hero knelt on the ground. With pained cries he tried to pull the arrow from his heel. After a while he collapsed dead. A fierce battle took place around his dead body . The Trojans were fighting to take him. However, Odysseus and Aedas grabbed him and brought him to the ships. All the Achaeans mourned the loss of the hero. Suddenly there was a terrible roar from the sea and out of the waves came Thetis and the Nereids, her sisters. They all stood around the dead body. For seventeen days they cried and cursed him. Then they burned his body, put his bones in the same pot as those of Patroclus, and, to honor him, held games. After a few days Paris was also killed. He was killed by Philoctetes with one of the poisoned arrows that Herakles had given him.

Burial customs
They wash the dead body, anoint it with oil, wrap it in a white sheet and decorate it. He is laid on the funeral bed and mourned by relatives and friends. Close friends and relatives cut their hair to show their mourning. They raise a wooden structure from logs and dry branches. They place the deceased on top with many of his personal items (kterismas). After the fire is lit and burns people, slaughtered animals and objects, they put it out and carefully collect the bones of the deceased. They wash them, place them in a vase and finally raise a mound of earth and stones covering all the remains. In the end they all eat together. Homer, Iliad (adaptation

Achaeans despaired. They did not believe that they would succeed in conquering Troy. Then Odysseus, the resourceful, thought that Troy would not fall by arms but by cunning. So he advised the Achaeans to make a large wooden horse, hollow inside, the Trojan horse. So the Achaeans
made it and wrote on it: “Gift of the Achaeans to Athena”. And one dark night Odysseus, Menelaus, Diomedes, Neoptolemus, who was the son of Achilles, and some other brave Achaeans got into the horse. Agamemnon with the rest of the army, after burning the camp, got into the ships and went and hid behind Tenedos.
In the morning the Trojans, looking from the walls, could not believe their eyes. The Achaeans had left and left behind only a large wooden horse by the shore! So they came out of the walls, approached it and saw that it was a dedication to Athena. Many said that they had to raise it on the citadel of Troy, so that the goddess would protect them. Cassandra was unfair , shouting that Achaeans were hidden inside his belly. No one believed her. And a Trojan, Laocoondas, who was a priest of Apollo, said: ” “Fear the Achaeans even if they bring you gifts.“

Immediately two huge snakes sent by Poseidon came out of the sea and drowned Laocoon with his children.
Seeing this miracle, the Trojans were frightened and dragged the horse into the city. In order to enter, they also demolished a part of its walls. Then they ate, drank and feasted happily all day. At night they fell asleep tired from dancing and drinking.
At midnight the Achaeans emerged from the horse’s belly. They ran and lit fires high on the walls and opened the gates. Soon the army returned from Tenedo. All the Achaeans entered Troy, killed the warriors and took the children and women as slaves. Menelaus ran to Priam’s palace and took Helen back. Then they set fire and burned the city, not even respecting the temples of the gods.
In the morning they loaded their ships with booty and set off to return home.

NEOPTOLEMOS IS KILLING PRIAMOS

Neoptolemus was the son of the hero Achilles and the princess Deidamia .Achilles’ mother, the goddess Thetis, had foreseen that her son would die in a great war; afraid for him, she took him to the court of King Lycomedes at the island of Scyros, and disguised him as a woman. While there, Achilles had an affair with the princess Deidamia; from this union, Neoptolemus was born.

Helenus, a Trojan seer, was captured by the Achaeans and was forced to tell them that Troy would fall if the Achaeans acquired the arrows of Heracles and the Palladium, and if they also convinced Neoptolemus to join the war. After acquiring the two artifacts, the Achaeans sent Odysseus to get the young Neoptolemus, who eventually joined the war. During the Trojan War, Neoptolemus turned out to be a brutal person, who killed Priam, Eurypylus, Polites and Astyanax, among others; he also made Andromache his concubine. After the end of the war, Neoptolemus took Andromache and Helenus and went to Epirus, where he became the king. With Andromache, Neoptolemus had a son, Molossus.

When he attempted to take Hermione from Orestes; the latter killed him.

Upon returning to main land of West Greece, Orestes reclaimed the throne of his father, becoming the ruler of Mycenae. He died after being bitten by a snake in Arcadia.

How did the news of the destruction of Troy reach MycenaeWhen Troy fell to the Achaeans, Agamemnon notified Clytemnestra overnight. His men lit a great fire on the top of Ida, in Troy, and many fires, one after the other, carried the message from mountain to mountain to Mycenae:Ida -> Lemnos -> Athos -> Evia -> Kithairon -> Mycenae.

Aeschylus, Agamemnon, verses 280 – 316 (arrangement)So we see that the people of that time had discovered a very fast means of communication, sending their messages with fire. In the hills and mountains near the cities, there were specific people who were responsible for lighting the fires, in order to communicate.

5. The sufferings of warThe Trojan War, which had lasted ten whole years, was over. However, he left behind dead people, destroyed houses, widows and orphans. Like any war. The ancient poet Euripides in his work “Troades” talks about the suffering and pain that war brings to people:Queen Hekave and the captive Trojan women mourn what they have lost and worry about the suffering they have to endure hereafter. Cassandra becomes Agamemnon’s slave. Andromache falls into the hands of Neoptolemus, son of Achilles. Her son, Astyanaktas, was thrown from the walls of Troy, so that he would not seek revenge later.The poet does not miss the opportunity to emphasize the miseries that await the victors on the return journey. Because whoever destroys states and does not respect the temples of the gods, it will not be long before disaster strikes.

THE GOLDEN MASK OF AGAMEMNON, THE KING OF MYCENAE: THE MASK OF AGAMEMNON IS AN ARTIFACT DISCOVERED IN MYCENAE IN 1876 BY THE GERMAN ARCHAEOLOGISTS HEINRICH SCHLIEMANN.
THIS MASK IS MADE OF GOLD AND IS A FUNERAL MASK FOUND OVER THE FACE OF A DEAD BODY IN A BURIAL PLACE AT MYCENAE. SCHLIEMANN THOUGHT, THAT THE BODY AND THE MASK ARE OF THE LEGENDARY KING AGAMEMNON.
THIS MASK IS CRAFTED OUT OF PURE GOLD AND SUCH MASKS WERE PUT ON THE FACE OF DECEASED KINGS AND ROYAL PEOPLE. AGAMEMNON WAS THE SON OF KING ATREUS OF MYCENAE AND QUEEN AEROPE. HE WAS THE LEADER OF THE ACHAEANS-DANAOI OF WEST GREEKS DURING THE CIVIL WAR WITH TROES (TROJANS), AS MYCENAE WAS THE MOST POWERFUL WEST GREEK TOWN AT THAT TIME. HE WAS ALSO THE BROTHER OF MEN ELAUS AND THE HUSBAND OF CLYTEMNESTRA. AGAMEMNON HAD THREE DAUGHTERS AND ONE SON . – (ONE OF HIS DAUGHTERS, IPHIGENIA, WAS THE PROTAGONIST IN EURIPIDES PLAY-DRAMA). WHEN AGAMEMNON RETURNED TO HIS KINGDOM, AFTER THE END OF THE TROJAN WAR, HE WAS MURDERED BY HIS WIFE CLYTEMNESTRA AND HER LOVER AEGISTHUS.

THE AUTHENTICITY OVER THIS MASK REMAIN TILL TODAY. THIS GOLDEN EXHIBIT IS CURRENTLY ON DISPLAY AT THE NATIONAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM IN ATHENS. IN SPITE OF ALL THE DOUBTS, THIS DISTINGUISHED MASK OF GOLD, WHICH IS ABOUT 12 INCHES IN HEIGHT IS STILL KNOWN, AS THE MASK OF AGAMEMNON AND IS ONE OF THE MOST PRIZED DISCOVERIES FROM THE ANCIENT MYCENAEAN AGES

Electra, daughter of King Agamemnon, wants to avenge her father’s death. After his return from the Trojan War, he was murdered by his wife Klytaimnestra and her lover Aigisthos. Elektra is waiting for one day to get her revenge and for her brother Orestes, sent away to be raised elsewhere, to come home and help her.

IN THE ROYAL PALACE IN MYCENE
Clytaimnestra’s handmaidens talk about Elektra. They think she behaves frighteningly and dangerously. The youngest of them defends Elektra and the others beat her. Elektra becomes lonely. She remembers her father, relives the murder and imagines the rites of dance and blood sacrifice when the father is once avenged.

Her younger sister Chrysothemis warns her about the mother who wants to have Elektra thrown in prison. Chrysothemis can’t stand the confined life in the palace anymore. She wants to be human and woman. Alarms from inside the house announce the arrival of Klytaimnestra. Elektra wants to talk to her.

Clytaimnestra is tormented by dreams. She asks Elektra for advice. Klytaimnestra’s confidants warn her about her daughter. Elektra, first introduces herself and speaks kindly to the mother. Finally, she loses control and declares that the only cure for the anxiety dreams is the death of Klytaimnestra. Then someone whispers a message to Klytaimnestra. Her death throes turn into triumph.

Chrysothemis returns and tells her that two strangers have come with the message that Orestes is dead. Elektra can’t believe it at first. A servant sets off to break the news to Aigisthos. Elektra realizes that she must complete the revenge herself and tries to convince her sister to kill Klytaimnestra and Aigisthos with her that same night. But she fails to break Chrysothemi’s resistance. Elektra has hidden away the ax with which her father was murdered. Now she picks it up.

Shortly thereafter, a stranger arrives. He tells of the death of Orestes – but it is Orestes himself. The siblings recognize each other; he has come to Mycenae to avenge his father’s death. Orestes’ companions remind that Klytaimnestra is waiting for them in the palace. Orestes enters. Elektra breathlessly follows the events from outside. Klytaimnestra’s death scream is heard.

Orestes was the son of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra , who was hunted by the Erinyes after he killed his mother.

The story of Orestes is the main topic of various ancient Greek plays. After the Trojan War, Orestes’ father, Agamemnon, returned to Mycenae (or Argos), along with his prize, the Trojan princess Cassandra. Cassandra had the gift of foretelling the future, but was also cursed not to be believed by anyone. Despite Cassandra’s warnings about what was about to happen, Agamemnon entered his palace, only to be murdered by his wife Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus, who was Agamemnon’s cousin. Orestes, a young boy at the time, was not present at the palace, but had run away with his sister Electra and found refuge at the court of Athens.

When Orestes became an adult, he was urged by his sister and the god Apollo to avenge their father’s death; Orestes, assisted by his friend Pylades, returned to the city, and murdered his mother and her lover. However, committing matricide was a horrible act that brought the fury of the Erinyes upon him. He was driven mad and was pursued by them.

Orestes sought refuge at the temple of Apollo, but even the god was powerless to stop the Erinyes. In the end, Athena accepted his pleas and organised a formal trial to be held before twelve judges. The Erinyes asked that the perpetrator be punished, while Orestes said that he followed Apollo’s orders. When the judges voted, the result was a tie; however, Athena’s vote, who was the chief justice, broke ties, leading to Orestes’ acquittal. Grateful, Orestes dedicated an altar to Athena, while the Erinyes were appeased by getting a new ritual, during which they were worshipped as the Venerable Ones.

According to a different source, while Orestes was still pursued by the Erinyes, Apollo told him to go to the land of Tauris and bring back a statue of Artemis, which had fallen from the sky. Orestes agreed and went to Tauris, accompanied by his friend Pylades. There, they were captured by the cult of Artemis, who was told to sacrifice all Greeks to the goddess. When the priestess of Artemis heard that two Greeks had been captured, she offered to help one of them escape if they would agree to carry a letter to her brother; Orestes demanded that Pylades should go, while Orestes would stay behind to be slain. Pylades reluctantly agreed, but when he received the letter, he realised who the priestess really was. All three of them eventually escaped, carrying with them the statue of Artemis. Aegisthus being murdered by Orestes and Pylades – The Louvre

Aigisthos arrives and meets Elektra outside the palace gate. Elektra’s terrifying supervision and unexpected kindness scares him. On his way in, he is murdered by Orestes.

Chrysothemis joyfully recounts the battle between Aigisthos’s friends and those who sided with Orestes. The brother has won. Elektra has achieved her goal in life. Vengeance has been exacted. She begins her ritual dance and sinks dead to the ground.

THE H A R P HISTORICAL FACTS..

HARP = AΡΠΑ: symphonic stringed musical instrument. It comes from the ancient Greek verb άρπω/arpo and
ΑΡΠΑΖΩ/ARPAZO(=SNATCH)
and in
ἍΡΠΗ/ARPE = a kind of bird of prey, as it was considered that the instrument is played with the use of all the fingers imitating a bird of prey.
The oldest Greek musical instruments are avloi (lyre), which is dating back to the Neolithic Age. The three civilizations of the Aegean, which are the Cycladic, the Minoan and the Mycenaean, provide evidence of the importance of music in their cultures such as Cycladic marble figures representing lyre players.

The harp has legendary origins: in Greek mythology, it was invented by the god Apollo. Charmed by the sound of Artemi’s bow, he gave her strings to attach to the weapon, creating a new instrument. The harp, played by angels and by kings, amazes us with its delicate and crystalline sound.

Orpheus, the son of Apollo, whose “rich clear words and the silvery notes from his harp were so enchanting that they … had a magical effect on everything around him. His songs could charm even rocks and rivers as well as humans and animals.

Hermes is said to have created the lyre. As the story goes, Hermes used the instrument to steal 50 of Apollo’s prize cattle, offering up the lyre to the latter when Apollo became angry. Thus, the lyre is now a historic attribute to the god of music and prophecy, symbolizing wisdom and moderation.

The Aeolian harp has a long history of being associated with the numinous, perhaps for its vibrant timbres that produce an ethereal sound. Homer relates that Hermes invented the lyre from dried sinews stretched over a tortoise shell. It was able to be played by the wind.
In Later centuries came The psalterion (Greek ψαλτήριον) is a stringed, plucked instrument, an ancient Greek harp. Psalterion was a general word for harps in the latter j part of the 4th century B.C. It meant “plucking instrument”.

An early ancestor to the harp appeared Greece, and later in spread in India , China and Burma. During the Middle Ages, it was played all over Europe and became very popular in the Celtic nations. The harp was the instrument of the troubadours, and accompanied their narratives throughout their journeys.

Monarchs have also played the harp, from Sapho, Queen Marie Antoinette, as well as innumerable poets. Often richly decorated, it can be as much a statement of wealth as a musical instrument. But the palette of sounds that the harp produces gives it true status. Refined, sparkling, and subtle, the sound of the harp is dreamy and enchanting.

In the 6th century e.g. music becomes the object of a systematic theoretical approach by philosophers, although at first their interest is indirect. The first mentioned is Pythagoras from Samos and his students, who lived in Magna Graecia Croton in Lower Italy. Believing that the world is made of whole numbers, the Pythagoreans described the harmonious sound of a melody and its effect on the human soul as a result of numerical proportions. They even reduced musical harmony to a theoretical model of the general harmony of the universe and performed acoustic experiments. [20] Their texts, however, like the texts of Lasso from Hermione , who taught music in Athens and is said to have written the first treatise on music, have not survived. Their views are fragmentarily known from vague information that reached later writers. Music must have had a similarly important place in the philosophical work of Philolaus from Croton , Damon from the municipality of Oa in Attica and Democritus from Abdira , but their relevant works have not survived. Finally, the presence of music in the extant work of PLATO and ARISTOTLE is prominent , although neither of the two great philosophers wrote a treatise exclusively dedicated to music.
The ancient Greek term music (inv. art ) appeared to initially declare instrumental music ( κροῦσις ), song ( ᾠδὴ ), speech (λεξις) and rhythmic movement ( ὄρχησις ) as an inseparable performance unity, but also in general education, spiritual cultivation and eloquence, which were under the protection of the Muses . Musician as an adjective meant “cultivated”. Already in the Homeric Epics , the practice of music symbolizes the peaceful life and culture of an organized society in contrast to the brutality of wa.

How can we understand the present if we don’t look at the past? says a proverb. And very wisely he says, because we must always look back, to our roots, so that we can excel in the future and never make the same mistakes as our ancestors in the present, creating an eternal chain of repetition. So with music. We should look back to see the musical history of our people as well as the world musical history, to perceive on the one hand the beginning of music and its evolution but also on the other to be able to have the knowledge to spread the musical feats of our ancestors.

Regarding the etymology of the word music : the word, according to the writings of the ancient Greek poets and philosophers, is derived from the word muse . The word muse, again, is derived from maousha = muse. ” ma ” is the root of the verb mao-mo which means to devise or search or ask mentally . (In the Doric dialect, the word ” muse ” is ” moses “).

Lyres appear in Greek mythology as an instrument played by the gods Hermes and Apollo, and by the Greek hero Orpheus. All three were famous as superb lyre players.

Orpheus played the lyre, a harplike instrument that had been given to him by the god Apollo. Most legends relate that Orpheus’ mother was one of the Muses; most often she is said to be Calliope, the patron of epic poetry

The nine muses. Originally these deities were mountain and water nymphs. Hesiod in Theogony recounts: ” Memory slept in Pieria with the son of Cronus and gave birth to these virgins . “

An important point in world music history is the flourishing period of ancient Greek music. When geometry and mathematics contributed to the study of music but also to the construction of the first musical instruments, instrumental music began to develop in ancient Greece, since until the 6th century we have mainly vocal music as a means of expression. This shift towards instrumental music is confirmed by the work ” Pythic Law “, which is the most important court law of the music of ancient Greece and described the fight between Apollo and the dragon Python . It was Sakada ‘s invention , and perhaps the first example of purely programmatic (descriptive) music.

The amount of information that has survived to this day about ancient Greek music allows us a systematic classification of the sources, which applies not only to Greek antiquity but to the history of music in general. The first and basic category of sources are written sources and they are divided into two separate categories, practical and theoretical . Practical sources are called surviving fragments of music in musical notation. From these sources mainly hymns have survived in fragments and have been transcribed into today’s musical writing (two Delphic hymns of Apollo , the Epitaph of Sicily, etc.). These passages about ancient Greek music are few (about 50 in total) and above all short and often with gaps and deficiencies in the notation. Texts about music are called theoretical sources. Theoretical sources include, in addition to special treatises on music theory, the numerous references to music and musical life contained in literary, philosophical and historical works. Theoretical sources of this category are often called here philological sources . The theoretical, as opposed to the practical, are numerous and contain valuable and often extensive information on many issues, yet there are gaps and difficulties in understanding them. The main works are those of Aristoxenus , Euclid , Nicomachus and Alypius , who gives us detailed tables of ancient Greek musical writing.

The lyre represents the peace of Elysium, the paradise where heroes were sent after they were appointed immortality by the gods. As for Orpheus, he acquired the lyre from his father, Apollo, who taught Orpheus how to play

In addition to written sources, another very important category of sources is pictorial testimonies or pictorial sources (depictions of scenes of musical life on vases), as well as the remains of musical instruments found in excavations . The number of pictorial testimonies is great and this fact in itself is testimony to the importance of music in the daily life of the ancient Greeks.
Lyra: the most widespread stringed instrument of ancient Greece, a musical instrument particularly popular since it was not necessarily an instrument of professionals. A symbol of Apollo, the lyre was not used in public events, while it was the instrument par excellence for training the young. It can be characterized as the national organ of the ancient Greeks.

A typical example is the Harpist in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, a marble statue of Proto-Cycladic art (2800 – 2300 BC) that represents a seated harpist playing a type of harp.

Lyres are found in the palace of Pylos and in Crete (1400 BC). The lyre was identified with Apollo. According to mythology, Hermes invented it: When Apollo (Fig.) discovered that Hermes had stolen his oxen, he chased him. Running to hide, he accidentally stepped on a turtle shell. Noticing that the raven made the sound louder, he made the first lyre and gave it to Apollo, appeasing his anger.
The flute, the diaulos, the askalos, the syrigus of Pan, the salpyx, the drum and the rattle, the cymbals, the rattles, the seistro, the croupezio, the whisper and the chalkeophone are some of the wind and percussion instruments.

Lyra: the most widespread stringed instrument of ancient Greece, a musical instrument particularly popular since it was not necessarily an instrument of professionals. A symbol of Apollo, the lyre was not used in public events, while it was the instrument par excellence for training the young. It can be characterized as the national organ of the ancient Greeks. The lyre was the civilised instrument of the cultured Apollo, while the pipe or flute was used by the wilder, nature-dwelling deities. On one occasion the god Pan, boasting of his mastery of the pipes, was foolish enough to challenge Apollo to a contest.

“Apollo the Guitarist” seated on a rock, holding his lyre and key. (Detail from the sides).
Roman copy of a Greek original of the 4th BC. h. The work can be dated to the late Hadrian-Antonine period (mid 2nd century AD). It is possible that it was placed in a temple as a gift from the emperor, the only one who could dispose of such a precious material in large quantities as porphyry or porphyry.
Purchased by the Farnese from the Sassi family, it was located in the Palazzo in Campo dei Fiori. The earliest Farnese catalogs specify the “metal or bronze” construction of the head, arms and legs. These parts were removed and replaced by what is visible today in white marble, the work of Carlo Albacini (1734-1813), on the occasion of the sculpture’s transfer to Naples in 1805. Napoli Museo Nazionale – Piano Terra – Collezione Farnese – sala I .
The god, clothed in a long tunic of purple porphyry, held by a belt below the breast, sits on a rock holding the lyre in the left hand and the key in the right (in white marble, inserted by Albacini). His costume, which resembles a woman’s, is the festive costume of the Pythians, worn by the performers taking part in the music competition.
From 1850 BC at Minoan Knossos large column bases of some variety of porphyry are found. And the ancient Egyptians used varieties of this stone in their constructions. It is a volcanic rock that forms when magma cools slowly below the earth’s surface. It has a unique texture and “luxurious” color, which was especially valued during the Roman period to satisfy the love of luxury of the Roman elite. It was red-brown to red-purple in color, like the color dyed with the material from the rare sea snails with the ancient Greek name “porphyres”, hence its name. The purple porphyry was also called “imperial” and had been discovered in an isolated location in Egypt in 18 AD by a Roman legionnaire, according to Pliny the Elder (Gaius Plinius Secundus, 23-79), in his “Natural History” (Naturalis Historia) . Like the purple cloth, it was characteristic of the emperors (e.g. their “tongas” were made from it in their busts). But also later, it was used by the emperors of the Eastern Roman state, called Byzantium by the historians, in their sarcophagi and in Byzantine imperial monuments.This stone is also valued for its versatility.It can be cut and carved into various shapes and sizes , making it ideal for a range of applications.Its use continues later, in the constructions of Western European emperors and kings.

FRENCH INNOVATIONS
The first pedals were the invention of the Bavarian luthier Hochbrücker at the beginning of the 18th century. Several instrument makers in France developed new innovations and patents, including one by the writer, watchmaker, diplomat and businessman Pierre Beaumarchais. The famous piano maker Sebastien Érard gave the harp seven pedals in the 19th century, one per note of the scale.

In the 20th century, the innovations continued. At the beginning of the century, the Pleyel House patented a harp without pedals, called the chromatic harp, at the request of several musicians. This harp was used in a composition by Claude Debussy, the Sacred Dance and Secular Dance. Although it was not a commercial success, the piece is very interesting for the history of music and is a masterpiece of chamber music.

Ravel
Maurice Ravel with the harpist Lily Laskine at a performance of Ravel’s Introduction et allegro in 1935.
French involvement in the development of this instrument is still strong today! The French harpist Anja Linder, who was paralyzed following an accident, invented the “Anjamatic”, an electro-pneumatic harp without pedals. Anja teaches the “Anjamatic” at the Strasbourg Conservatory. She was named a Knight of the National Order of Merit in 2016.

The history and development of the harp is bursting with as many notes, high and low, as the instrument itself is capable of. The most exciting part of the harp’s history is what’s still to come for this ancient instrument.

The word music, according to the writings of the ancient Greek poets and philosophers, is derived from “Musa”. Musa again, is produced from maousa = Musa. “ma” is the root of the verb mao-mo = to devise or search or ask mentally. (In the Doric dialect the word “Muse” is “Moses”).

The word music The word music, in today’s time, means the art of sounds, unlike the ancient Greeks who gave the word music a different meaning, they meant the indissoluble unity of sound and speech, something that does not exist nowadays.

With sport the body is exercised, while with music the spirit.

Music, the gift of the Muses, in ancient Greece, defined and characterized the man who acts, thinks and feels. Thus, as a means of spiritual maturation, the word that would characterize ancient Greek music is not the word “art” but the words education and power. This can also be seen from the fact that the one who played the flute e.g. he was called a piper and not a musician, i.e. he was considered a simple performer. But after the separation of music from speech, language, which happened shortly after Plato, we see the use of the concept musician. This change was to be the birth of an autonomous art which, as mentioned above, was embedded within discourse.

Ancient Greek Music

Ancient Greek music holds a special place among the musical cultures of Antiquity. The main reason for this is certainly the fact that the historical evidence and sources for the study of ancient Greek musical culture are more than for any other musical culture of antiquity. However, apart from this, and perhaps thanks to this, the ancient Greek musical culture exerted a great influence on later musical cultures in Europe and also in the Middle East, mainly on the Arab musical culture. This effect concerns, at least in the case of European music, the aesthetics of music, music creation, music education and more generally the place of music in education, music theory and other fields, which are today, as well as the former subject of musicology.

The influence of ancient Greek music on later musical cultures is not only due to any historical testimonies and sources regarding it. It is due, and in fact to a large extent, to the overall effect of the ancient Greek and Roman civilization on modern Europe, especially during the Renaissance years, but not only then. Ancient Greek music became for the humanists, but often also for the musicians of the Renaissance, the ideal model of music. Thus, as often happens in similar cases, a myth was created around ancient Greek music, based more on the musical reality of later times and on historical fallacies, than on the positive knowledge of the sources that survived. This myth was certainly productive for the development of modern music, as it shows e.g. the genesis of opera. However, for the knowledge of ancient Greek music itself, it had several negative consequences, which musicological research began to overcome from the middle of the 19th century. and so on. From this time, a systematic research of ancient Greek music, freed from the distorting lenses of later periods, began.

SOURSES

The abundance of surviving information on ancient Greek music allows a systematic classification of sources, which is not only valid for Greek antiquity, but for the history of music in general and is used to classify sources at least until the end of the Middle Ages.

The first and basic category of sources are written sources. Written sources are divided into two separate categories, practical and theoretical sources.

Practical sources are called surviving fragments of music in musical notation. From the practical sources mainly hymns survived in fragments and have been transcribed into today’s musical writing (two Delphic hymns of Apollo, the epitaph of Sicily, etc.). These passages about ancient Greek music are few (about 50 in total) and above all short and often with gaps and deficiencies in the notation.

Texts about music are called theoretical sources. Theoretical sources include, in addition to special treatises on music theory, the numerous references to music and musical life contained in literary, philosophical and historical works. Theoretical sources of this category are often called here philological sources. The theoretical as opposed to the practical are many and contain valuable and often extensive information on many issues, yet there are gaps and difficulties in understanding them. The main works are by Aristoxenus, Euclid, Nicomachus and Alypius (who gives us detailed tables of ancient Greek musical writing).

In addition to written sources, another very important category of sources is pictorial evidence or pictorial sources (depictions of scenes of musical life on vases), as well as the remains of musical instruments found in excavations. The number of pictorial testimonies is great and this fact in itself is testimony to the importance of music in the daily life of the ancient Greeks.

Historical Overview

It is difficult for anyone to determine the temporal and geographical boundaries of the musical culture of ancient Greece. A key difficulty is the dissociation between the temporal origins of different kinds of sources. Thus, the surviving theoretical sources, as well as the surviving nuggets of practical sources, date almost exclusively to the first post-Christian centuries. On the contrary, the philological and pictorial sources are abundant already from the period of greatest flowering of this culture – that is, from the 7th to the 4th BC. century or so. therefore, following a demarcation that is more or less generally accepted and corresponds in general terms to the geographical and temporal demarcation of the period of birth and heyday of the ancient Greek culture, we can say that ancient Greek music covers a period of time that begins in the last centuries of 2nd millennium BC and ends at the end of the 4th century BC. (i.e. at the beginning of the Hellenistic Period), and developed mainly in the main part of Greece and in the Greek cities of Asia Minor and Lower Italy. The period of more than a thousand years determined by the above time limits corresponds to various periods of ancient Greek history. Thus the history of ancient Greek music can be subdivided into two major periods:

Aphrodite is , as well associated with the harp. Though she wasn’t an actual goddess, Calliope is often depicted with one. The character of Orpheus, again not regarded as a god, was a harpist (or probably more accurately, the lyre)

Orpheus, ancient Greek from Thraca legendary hero endowed with superhuman musical skills. He became the patron of a religious movement based on sacred writings said to be his own. Traditionally, Orpheus was the son of a Muse (probably Calliope, the patron of epic poetry) and Oeagrus, a king of Thrace (other versions give Apollo). Apollo, as the god of music, gave Orpheus a golden lyre and taught him to play it. Orpheus’s mother taught him to make verses for singing. (Orpheus name derives fro the verb root *h₃erbʰ- ‘to change allegiance, status, ownership’. Cognates could include Greek: ὄρφνη (órphnē; ‘darkness’) and ὀρφανός (orphanós; ‘fatherless, orphan’) from which comes English ‘orphan’ through Latin.

The story of Orpheus has resonated through the millennia and has been a popular subject of art, music and literature for more than 2,500 years. The Greek legend was flourishing by the mid-sixth century B.C., and variations of his story appear in the ancient writings of Aristophanes, Plato, Aristotle, Apollodorus, Virgil and Ovid. According to one version of the myth, Orpheus was the son of the muse Calliope. Given a lyre (a form of ancient harp) by the god Apollo and instructed in its use by the Muses, he became so skilled at creating music with it that he was able to charm and placate elements of both the natural and supernatural world. Animals, trees, rocks and even some of the gods themselves were moved by the music from his golden harp, and ancient images of him often depict scenes in which Orpheus is surrounded by a variety of tranquil creatures, both real and mythical.

Orpheus and Eurydice in Palais Garnier, Paris. ΟΡΦΕΥΣ (Orpheus) and ΕΥΡΥΔΙΚΗ (Eurydice).

The power of Orpheus’s music led Jason and his fellow Argonauts to seek his aid on their quest for the Golden Fleece, but the primary story associated with Orpheus concerns his wife, a nymph named Eurydice. According to legend, she was killed after being bitten by a poisonous snake. Devastated by her death and determined to recover his lost love, Orpheus descends into the underworld, where he uses the power of his music to charm Charon, the ferryman who brings the dead across the River Styx, in order to gain passage to the underworld. As he continues, he also enchants the monstrous guardian of the gates to the underworld, the three-headed dog Cerberus.

Glancing back however is often a symbol of a reluctance to look forward, to be distracted, dwell on the past and remain static. To the ancient Greeks, Orpheus was a legendary prophet, poet and musician. Because the moral behind both stories is “Don’t look back.” Orpheus wanted to bring his wife, Eurydice, back to life and was told not to look back or he would lose everything. Lot was told by God that he must not look back or he would turn to ashes. Of course his wife didn’t listen and she became a pile of ash/salt

His music and grief so moves Queen Persephone that she pleads with her grim consort, Hades, to release Eurydice and allow Orpheus to bring his wife out of the underworld. The god of the underworld grants this request, but only on the condition that Orpheus trust that Eurydice is following him; he must not look back at her until they pass beyond the realm of Hades’ domain and into the world of the living. Their escape is depicted in Sir Edward John Poynter’s dramatic 1862 oil-on-canvas Orpheus and Eurydice. At the last moment, Orpheus is unable to resist looking back at his love, and thus he is forced to watch as she is once again transported back to the world of the dead..

*******A R I O N

Arion was a lyric poet from Mithymna (Molyvos) in Lesvos. We do not even know the year of his birth and death. The information about him and his life comes mainly from the historian Herodotus. He left Lesbos early and lived near the tyrant of Corinth Periandros (625 – 585 BC).

He was the best guitar player of his time and contributed to the development of the dithyramb, the hymn of Dionysian worship, which was the forerunner of tragedy. Arion was the first to compose a dithyramb, gave it a lyrical form and narrative content and presented it at the court of the art-loving tyrant Periander, in Corinth. Arion presented the dancers disguised as Satyrs, i.e. with characteristics of goats, which is why he was called the “inventor of the tragic way”. As a poet and composer, he wrote chants (hymns) and preludes (guitar rules), of which not a single verse has survived. According to Herodotus Arion had won a musical competition in Sicily.

There is a story about his life, which is more like a fairy tale, and it was bequeathed to us by Herodotus. Once, Arion decided to travel to Sicily for a living. There, after having collected a lot of money and wealth through his art, he started the return journey in a Corinthian ship. During the voyage the sailors decided to rob him and throw him overboard. Arion offered to give them money to save his life, but in vain. Then, he begged them to do him one last favor. To let him sing before his death. The sailors accepted. Arion, having put on his good clothes, took the guitar in his hands, stood on the prow of the ship and sang the “standing law”, a hymn to Standing Artemis and others a hymn to Apollo the god of music. His song attracted dolphins around the ship. At the end of the song he threw himself into the sea. A dolphin enchanted by his song took him on its back and took him out to Cape Tainaro. From there, Arion went on foot to Corinth, where he reported everything to Periander, the tyrant of Corinth. He ordered the sailors, who had meanwhile returned to Corinth, to be arrested and put to death.

Greek mythology is intended to serve as an education for the people of Ancient Greece, and with the Myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, they are taught two things. First, you need to stay true to your word. And, second, always be respectful to the gods.

THE O A T T H OF HIPPOCRATES

Posted on May 4, 2024 by Konstantin

One of the oldest binding documents in history, the Oath written by Hippocrates is still held sacred by physicians: to treat the ill to the best of one’s ability, to preserve a patient’s privacy, to teach the secrets of medicine to the next generation, and so on.There are many versions of the Hippocratic Oath. We here present two versions. First, the “classic” version (or more precisely, one translation of the original oath). And then, following it, is presented one of the fine “modern” versions of the Hippocratic Oath.

Ο Όρκος του Ιπποκράτη (The Oath of Hippocrates)

TRANSLATION form ancient Greek:

Hippocratic Oath:

I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygieia and Panaceia and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfil according to my ability and judgment this oath and this covenant:

To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in male lineage and to teach them this art – if they desire to learn it – without fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the medical law, but no one else.

I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice.

I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.

I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as are engaged in this work.

Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves.

What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself, holding such things shameful to be spoken about.

If I fulfil this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.

Hippocrates: “What keeps health is equitable distribution and precise mixing within body forces (= egalitarianism) of dry, liquid, cold, sweet, bitter, sour and salty. The disease causes the predominance of one (= monarchy). Treatment is accomplished by restoring the disturbed balance, the method of the opposite of excess power. “

These concepts we find intact to Hippocrates. The exact mix, equality before the law, symmetry, harmony, are the basis of the doctrines of the Pythagoreans and Ippokrati.Grafei features Hippocrates: “In man there is the bitter and salty, sweet, sour, astringent and the the bland … and these components when mixed and combined together, neither shown nor affect humans. But when some of all separated and left alone it seems to cause harm “.

If we eat a lot of sweets and hydrocarbons and has become our body chocolate and patisserie, there has been an imbalance. The prevalence of fresh weight of bitter will pay dearly indeed. The volumes are full of zachari.Afto demonstrated the Warburg. In 2001 a medical conference in Karlsruhe, Germany, confirmed the adage: “that is bitter in the mouth, it is good for the stomach.” It was stressed that the bitter substances, contributing decisively to the overall process of digestion.

The Law of Hippocrates

1. Medicine is of all the arts the most noble; but, owing to the ignorance of those who practice it, and of those who, inconsiderately, form a judgment of them, it is at present far behind all the other arts. Their mistake appears to me to arise principally from this, that in the cities there is no punishment connected with the practice of medicine (and with it alone) except disgrace, and that does not hurt those who are familiar with it. Such persons are the figures which are introduced in tragedies, for as they have the shape, and dress, and personal appearance of an actor, but are not actors, so also physicians are many in title but very few in reality.

2. Whoever is to acquire a competent knowledge of medicine, ought to be possessed of the following advantages: a natural disposition; instruction; a favorable position for the study; early tuition; love of labor; leisure. First of all, a natural talent is required; for, when Nature leads the way to what is most excellent, instruction in the art takes place, which the student must try to appropriate to himself by reflection, becoming an early pupil in a place well adapted for instruction. He must also bring to the task a love of labor and perseverance, so that the instruction taking root may bring forth proper and abundant fruits.

3. Instruction in medicine is like the culture of the productions of the earth. For our natural disposition, is, as it were, the soil; the tenets of our teacher are, as it were, the seed; instruction in youth is like the planting of the seed in the ground at the proper season; the place where the instruction is communicated is like the food imparted to vegetables by the atmosphere; diligent study is like the cultivation of the fields; and it is time which imparts strength to all things and brings them to maturity.

4. Having brought all these requisites to the study of medicine, and having acquired a true knowledge of it, we shall thus, in traveling through the cities, be esteemed physicians not only in name but in reality. But inexperience is a bad treasure, and a bad fund to those who possess it, whether in opinion or reality, being devoid of self-reliance and contentedness, and the nurse both of timidity and audacity. For timidity betrays a want of powers, and audacity a lack of skill. They are, indeed, two things, knowledge and opinion, of which the one makes its possessor really to know, the other to be ignorant.

5. Those things which are sacred, are to be imparted only to sacred persons; and it is not lawful to impart them to the profane until they have been initiated into the mysteries of the science.

And we will adopt the tactics of the University Hippocrates who told us that we are what we eat … But what happens there nowadays this spate of cancer? Let us know the Hippocratic anticancer defense, which is based on a balance of four basic tastes. The almond oil is obtained from the fruit of the kernel. Rich in vitamins A, E, B1, B2, B6, B17, and trace elements. Vitamin B17 is vitamin. It is the old name of amygdalin, as we read in an article news portal.

Amygdalin is the bitter component of almonds and a potential toxin as it can release cyanide in the body. The amygdalin is considered to have anticancer properties, but this has not been proven scientifically.

It has been argued that the exclusion of bitter substances – only delight and pleasure in our throat is our motto – we excluded one of the four primary tastes: salty, sour, bitter, sweet. Many have rejected and sour and have chosen the salty and sweet. So balance (isorropia). Hippocrates emphasized the balance, influenced by the father of Greek medicine doctor Alkmaion.

He is considered the peak of Greek medicine because he first dealt with the anatomy and physiology and formulated as follows perceptions of health and illness, adopted by

Hippocrates:“What kee ps health is equitable distribution and precise mixing within body forces (= egalitarianism) of: dry, liquid, cold, sweet, bitter, sour and salty. The disease causes the predominance of one (= monarchy). Treatment is accomplished by restoring the disturbed balance, the method of the opposite of excess power. “

These concepts we find intact to Hippocrates. The exact mix, equality before the law, symmetry, harmony, are the basis of the doctrines of the Pythagoreans and Ippokrati.Grafei features Hippocrates: “In man there is the bitter and salty, sweet, sour, astringent and the the bland … and these components when mixed and combined together, neither shown nor affect humans. But when some of all separated and left alone it seems to cause harm “.

If we eat a lot of sweets and hydrocarbons and has become our body chocolate and patisserie, there has been an imbalance. The prevalence of fresh weight of bitter will pay dearly indeed. The volumes are full of zachari.Afto demonstrated the Warburg. In 2001 a medical conference in Karlsruhe, Germany, confirmed the adage: “that is bitter in the mouth, it is good for the stomach.” It was stressed that the bitter substances, contributing decisively to the overall process of digestion.

The movements of the stomach and intestine are intensifying and promoting food accelerating. Stimulate the secretion of bile and pancreatic, improve digestion albums, proteins and lipon.Meionetai sense of blowing and prevented fermentation and decay processes occurring in the intestines. Through B12 absorption improvement, bitter substances supporting blood production, promote the absorption of fat soluble components, like iron. The bitter substances support and creating bases (alkaline high pH) in the body. And act m “thereby against peroxidation

Hippocrates was the first who took into account the environment, working conditions and weather. A special place in medicine Hippocrates had nature. When the father of modern medicine, is inherent in man an animal power, which determines the balance of the body and is none other than nature. Therefore, investigating the natural environment of the patient. Residence, the atmosphere in which he lived, and the weather changes its place. Proper nutrition and diet were also key requirements for good human health.

The Hippocratic Oath (Ορκος) is perhaps the most widely known of Greek medical texts. It requires a new physician to swear upon a number of healing gods that he will uphold a number of professional ethical standards. It also strongly binds the student to his teacher and the greater community of physicians with responsibilities similar to that of a family member. In fact, the creation of the Oath may have marked the early stages of medical training to those outside the first families of Hippocratic medicine, the Asclepiads of Kos, by requiring strict loyalty.

Over the centuries, it has been rewritten often in order to suit the values of different cultures influenced by Greek medicine. Contrary to popular belief, the Hippocratic Oath is not required by most modern medical schools, although some have adopted modern versions that suit many in the profession in the 21^st century. It also does not explicitly contain the phrase, “First, do no harm,” which is commonly attributed to it.

The Aphorisms of Hippocrates – Most Important

BEFORE SOMEONE IS BELIEVING THAT (HE OR SHE) KNOWS ABOUT HIPPOCRATES ….

AT FIRST HAS TO STUDY About ASCLEPIOS , HIPPOCRATES & THIS Aphorisms, his philosophy, the four elementsetc etc!..(Just read more about in this site)

START NOW!!

THE APHORISMS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT WORKS OF THE HIPPOCRATIC CORPUS. IT WAS THE SUBJECT OF ADMIRATION OF DOCTORS OF ALL TIME AND DISTRIBUTEDO WIDELY OVER THE CENTURIES, WAS COPIED MORE THAN ALL THE OTHER WORKS OF ANCIENT GREEK MEDICAL LITERATURE. IT IS ELEMENTARY EPITOME SEMIOTICS, DIETARY, THERAPEUTIC AND PROGNOSTIC OF KOAN MEDICAL SCHOOL.

THE DESIGNER READILY UNDERSTANDS THAT THESE THOUGHTS WISE AND EXPERIENCED PHYSICIAN AND TEACHER, BUT NOT RECORDED BY THE SAME, THEREBY CONTAIN REPETITIONS AND BE UNCLASSIFIED.

IT IS LIKELY TO BE A PATTERN USED BY HIPPOCRATES FOR TEACHING. LATER STUDENTS FOUND IT AND INCLUDED IT IN HIS WORKS. SO THIS IS THE AUTHENTIC FATHER OF MEDICINE PROJECT:

IN THE FIRST PART, CONTAINED IN A SUMMARY MATTERS REGARDING GENERAL MEDICAL AND DIETARY-THERAPEUTIC AND GENERAL ON AUTOMATIC AND EVOKED STOOLS AND NUTRITION. “THE LIFE IS SHORT AND THE ART LONG, AND THE WEATHER SHARP, AND THE EXPERIENCE ERRONEOUS AND THE JUDGMENT TOUGH”. FAMOUS APHORISM THAT HAS BEEN FOREFRONT IN MEDICAL SCHOOLS, MEDICAL EMBLEM ON MANY PROJECTS AND HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF COMMENTS LARGE SAGES OF ANTIQUITY, SUCH AS GALEN, LUCIAN, SENECA AND YOUNGER PHYSICIANS AND PHILOSOPHERS SUCH AS GOETHE, ETC.

IN THE SECOND SECTION, INCLUDED APHORISMS RELEVANT TO PROGNOSIS OF DISEASE IN GENERAL. FIRST MENTIONED PREDICTIVE SYMPTOMS FOR SLEEP, WORTHY GREAT CLINICIAN, FOR EXAMPLE HIGH RISK OF DISEASES AGGRAVATED BY SLEEP. WISE ALSO OBSERVATION IS THAT BOTH EXCESSIVE INSOMNIA AND EXCESSIVE SLEEPINESS ARE UNPLEASANT SYMPTOMS. ALSO SUDDEN FATIGUE HERALDS IASTHENEIA, OBESE ARE MORE AT RISK OF SUDDEN DEATH FROM THE WEAK, THOSE WHO OFTEN FEEL TOO TIRED FOR NO REASON, DYING. THESE ARE ALL WISE PHYSICIAN EXPERIENCED OBSERVATIONS.

THE THIRD SECTION REFERS TO THE INFLUENCE THAT THE APPEARANCE AND CHARACTER OF THE DISEASE THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND AGE.

IN THE FOURTH SECTION, ON TREATMENT WITH EMETICS AND LAXATIVES AND DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION PARTICULARLY FEBRILE ILLNESSES, INCLUDING BANS RELEVANT TO THE PURGES, INTENTIONAL OR NOT, IN CONNECTION WITH PREGNANCY, SEASONS, THE MAKEUP OF THE INDIVIDUAL, AND NATURE OF THE DISEASE. VERY INTERESTING ARE THE APHORISMS MENTIONED IN FEVERS: SIXTHS, LABORIOUS, FEVERS TWIST NECK, INTERMITTENT, NON-INTERMITTENT, WITH SHIVERING, KAFSODEIS ETC.

IN THE FIFTH SECTION INCLUDES APHORISMS ON THE EFFECTS OF HEAT AND COLD ESPECIALLY IN SURGICAL DISEASES AND GYNECOLOGICAL DISEASES. SOME REFER AND CONVULSIONS, THE TETANIC CONVULSIONS AND EPILEPSY, OTHERS TO BREAST DISEASES. OTHERS RELATE MILK STERILIZATION, DISEASE OF THE UTERUS, MENSTRUATION. IN THIS SECTION ARE THE FAMOUS APHORISMS, UNDER WHICH THE OCCURRENCE OF SEIZURES IN TRAUMA IS FATAL PROGNOSIS, THE TABES AFFECTS PEOPLE AGED 18-35 YEARS, HEMOPTYSIS BLOOD FOAMED FROM LUNG, DIARRHEA IS DEADLY SYMPTOM IN CONSUMPTIVE, SUDDEN SLIMMING BREAST PREGNANT HERALDS SHEDDING ETC.

SECTION SIX REFER APHORISMS RELATED TO THE SYMPTOMS OF SURGICAL DISEASES. PRECIOUS ARE THOSE WHO SAID THE DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND BLADDER IN THE ELDERLY DIFFICULT TO TREAT, THAT THE INJURIES TO THE BRAIN, BLADDER, INTESTINES, HEART, DIAPHRAGM, ABDOMEN AND LIVER ARE FATAL.

FINALLY IN THE SEVENTH SECTION ARE MANY REPETITIONS APHORISMS FROM PREVIOUS PARTS. AMONG THE MOST IMPORTANT IS THE ONE THAT STATES THAT THE ENDS OF FREEZING IS DEADLY PROGNOSTIC IN SEVERE FEBRILE ILLNESSES, AS WELL AS DEADLY PREDICTOR IS THE APPEARANCE OF VOMITING, HICCUP, SPASM OR DELIRIUM IN THE ILEUM.

FINALLY, THE FOLLOWING APHORISM IS USUALLY MOUNTED IN OPERATING ROOMS:

« ‘ὈΚΌΣΑ ΦΆΡΜΑΚΑ ΟΥ̓Κ ἸΗΤΑΙ, ΣΊΔΗΡΟΣ ἼΗΤΑΙ, ὍΣΑ ΣΊΔΗΡΟΣ ΟΥ̓Κ ἸΗΤΑΙ, ΠΥ͂Ρ ἼΗΤΑΙ ὍΣΑ ΔΈ ΠΥ͂Ρ ΟΥ̓Κ ἼΗΤΑΙ, ΤΑΥ͂ΤΑ ΧΡΉ ΝΟΜΊΖΕΙΝ ἈΝΊΑΤΑ». –

APHORISMS SECTION FIRST

1. LIFE IS SHORT BUT THE MEDICAL LONG, OPPORTUNITY FLEETING, EXPERIENCE FALLACIOUS, CORRECT DIFFICULT CRISIS. THE PHYSICIAN MUST THEREFORE NOT ONLY TO OFFER THE SICK THAN APPROPRIATE, BUT HAS ITS OWN HELP, THE HELP OF PEOPLE AROUND HIM AND APPROPRIATE FOR THE OCCASION CONDITIONS.

2. DIGESTIVE DISORDERS AND VOMITING THAT OCCUR ON THEIR OWN IF THE PATIENT EXPELS WHAT SHOULD BE EXPELLED, THE STOOLS AND VOMITING ARE USEFUL AND EASILY TOLERATED “DIFFERENT IS THE OPPOSITE. THE SAME APPLIES TO ARTIFICIAL STOOLS VASCULAR AND ORGAN [BLEEDING, INDUCED VOMITING, LAXATIVES ACTIVE]. IF DONE THE RIGHT WAY, THEY ARE USEFUL AND EASILY TOLERATED “DIFFERENT IS THE OPPOSITE. SO TO JUDGE WHETHER THESE STOOLS ARE BENEFICIAL OR HARMFUL, WE MUST BE KEPT IN MIND THE PLACE, TIME, AGE AND TYPES OF DISEASES.

3. EXCESSIVE WELFARE OF ATHLETES IS DANGEROUS IF EVEN REACHES THE UTMOST LIMITS “STAY IN THE SAME PLACE IS IMPOSSIBLE” SO, SINCE NO ONE STANDING STILL AND NOR IS THERE ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT, THE ONLY QUESTION LEFT IS EPIDEINOISI ‘FOR THESE REASONS ,

4. THE AUSTERE AND STRICT DIET IS ALWAYS RISKY AND LENGTHY ILLNESSES AND HEAVY, WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTED. MOREOVER, THE DIET THAT LEADS THE UTMOST SLIMMING LIMITS IS HARMFUL, BECAUSE THE DAMAGE IS CORRECTED WHEN IT HAS REACHED ROCK BOTTOM, IS VERY DIFFICULT.

5. WHEN FOLLOWING A STRICT DIET, PATIENTS MAKE MISTAKES AND THEREFORE SUFFER MORE “EVERY MISTAKE, WHATEVER IT IS, BECOMES EVEN MORE SERIOUS THAN WHAT IF IT WERE IN A LESS STRICT DIET. FOR THIS REASON, AND EVEN HEALTHY PEOPLE, THE VERY AUSTERE AND STRICT DIETS THAT ARE GOVERNED BY RULES ARE DOUBTFUL RESULT, BECAUSE EVERY DEVIATION FROM THEM BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT TOLERATED BY THE PATIENT. SO THE SIMPLE AND STRICT DIETS ARE MORE HARMFUL THAN THE LESS STRINGENT.

6. IN SEVERE DISEASE, THE ABSOLUTE PRECISION AND REFINEMENT IN THE TREATMENT IS THE BEST METHOD.

7. WHEN THE DISEASE IS TOO HEAVY, MANIFESTED IMMEDIATELY MORBID SYMPTOMS IN THE PEAK AND THE NEED TO IMMEDIATELY IMPLEMENT THE MOST STRICT DIET “IF IT DOES NOT, PERMITTED A LESS STRICT” SEVERITY RELAXES, AS THE DISEASE IS MILDER.

8. WHEN THE DISEASE IS THE MOST CRITICAL POINT, THEN IT MUST BE APPLIED VERY STRICT DIET.

9. WE MUST EXAMINE THE PATIENT AND DETERMINE WHETHER IT IS ABLE TO TOLERATE THE DIET UNTIL THE MOST CRITICAL POINT OF THE DISEASE AND WHICH OF THE TWO POSSIBILITIES WILL HAPPEN: IT WILL RUN OUT FIRST AND THE PATIENT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TOLERATE OR FIRST SUBSIDES DISEASE AND WILL DIMINISH.

10. SO WHEN THE ILLNESS REACHES FROM THE START IN THE MOST CRITICAL POINT, WE RECOMMEND AMESOIS UNASSUMING MANNER NUTRITIONAL IF THIS COME LATER, SHOULD THE CRISIS PERIOD OR SHORTLY BEFORE THAT TO REMOVE SOME OF THE FOOD ‘THE PREVIOUS PERIOD BUT HAVE THE DIET SHOULD BE ABUNDANT, TO ENABLE THE PATIENT TO EFFECTIVELY DEAL WITH THE ILLNESS.

11. DURING EXACERBATIONS OF THE DISEASE, SHOULD BE REDUCED FOOD, BECAUSE THE INCREASE OF THE SUPPLY OF FOOD HARMS GENERALLY DURING EXACERBATIONS OF ALL DISEASES WHICH PERIODICALLY RECUR, SHOULD CUT THE FOOD.

12. EXACERBATIONS AND REMISSIONS DEPEND ON THE TYPE OF DISEASE, THE SEASON OF THE YEAR, THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE VARIOUS PERIODS BETWEEN THEM, WHETHER THEY OCCUR EVERY DAY OR EVERY OTHER DAY OR OVER A LONGER DISTANCE, AS WELL AS FROM SUCH SYMPTOMS, IF THE PLEURAL ELIMINATION OF SPUTUM BEGIN IMMEDIATELY, SHORTENING THE DURATION OF ILLNESS “IF IT STARTS LATER, THE ILLNESS ALSO PARATEINETAI-, URINE, FAECES AND SWEATS ARE, DEPENDING ON THE WAY THEY ARE PRESENTED, AN INDICATION OF WHETHER A DISEASE IT WILL GO HARD OR EASY, THOUGH IT WILL LAST MORE OR LESS.

13. THE ELDERLY, MORE EASILY TOLERATE FASTING, HARDEST MATURE MEN, AND FEW YOUNG CHILDREN TOLERATE WITH DIFFICULTY, ESPECIALLY VIVID.

14. ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE DEPLOYED INHERENTLY MORE HEAT AND THEREFORE NEED MORE FOOD “OTHERWISE THEIR BODIES WITHER” OLDER PEOPLE NEED SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL, BECAUSE THEY HAVE LESS HEAT: HIGHER AMOUNT WILL EXTINGUISH. FOR THE SAME REASON FEVERS ARE NOT AS HIGH IN THE ELDERLY BECAUSE THEIR BODIES ARE COLD.

15. IN WINTER AND SPRING THE BELLY IS BY NATURE VERY WARM AND SLEEP TAKES TOO LONG “AND SHOULD THEREFORE FOOD IS MORE ABUNDANT, BECAUSE IF WE CONSIDER THAT THE INNATE HEAT IS TOO GREAT, NEEDS MORE FOOD. PROOF YOUNG PEOPLE AND ATHLETES.

16. THE LIQUID DIET BENEFITS THOSE WHO DEVELOP FEVER, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, AND THOSE ACCUSTOMED TO SIMILAR DIETS.

17. WE MUST ALSO BE CAREFUL WHEN TO ARE FED ONCE A DAY AND WHEN BOTH, WHEN MORE AND WHEN LESS, OR IN SMALL DOSEIS- ALL THIS MUST BE ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO THE HABITS OF THE PATIENT, TIME, PLACE AND AGE.

18. IN THE SUMMER AND AUTUMN, THE FOOD IS HARDLY TOLERABLE “VERY EASILY DONE IN WINTER AND SECONDLY IN THE SPRING.

19. DURING EXACERBATIONS PRESENTED AT CERTAIN TIMES SHOULD NOT GIVE ANYTHING UTENA RECOMMEND ANYTHING, BUT IS REMOVABLE PORTION OF THE FOOD THAT WE GAVE BEFORE THE CRISES.

20. DISEASES MARCHING SMOOTHLY TO THE CRISIS OR HAVE CONCLUSIVELY DETERMINED NOT TO BE HINDERED IN THEIR COURSE OF INNOVATIVE METHODS NOR WITH LAXATIVES OR OTHER IRRITANTS IN, BUT N ‘LEFT IN THEIR NATURAL DEVELOPMENT.

21. THE LIQUID TO BE CLEAN, THERE SHOULD DRIVE THEM WHERE MAINLY INCLINED BY APPROPRIATE ROADS.

22. CLEAN AND PUT IN MOTION THE MATURE LIQUID, NOT THE IMMATURE, NOR THE BEGINNING OF THE DISEASE, UNLESS THERE IS IRRITATION, WHICH FOR THE MOST PART DOES NOT EXIST.

23. THE DISCHARGED LIQUID SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED BY QUANTITY, BUT BY THE NATURAL OR UNNATURAL MANNER DISCHARGED, AS WELL AS FROM THE EASE WITH WHICH TOLERATED “AND WHEN THE NEED ARISES TO PROMOTE ABORTION TO FAINT, YOU SHOULD NOT HESITATE, WHERE THE PATIENT MAY BE TOLERATED IN THIS TEST.

24. IN SEVERE DISEASE ADMINISTER LAXATIVES LITTLE AT THE BEGINNING, AND THIS ONLY AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION.

25. IF THE VACANCY IS AS IT SHOULD BE, THEN IT IS BENEFICIAL AND THE PATIENT ACCEPTS WITH RELIEF “OTHERWISE, IS IN PREDICAMENT.

APHORISMS SECOND PART

1. IF THE DISEASE CAUSES DISCOMFORT SLEEP, THE DISEASE IS FATAL. IF SLEEP RELIEVES, NOT FATAL.

2. IT’S A GOOD SIGN, WHEN SLEEP STOPS DELIRIUM.

3. WHEN SLEEP OR INSOMNIA EXCEED MODERATE SYMPTOMS ARE BAD.

4. NEITHER HYPERALIMENTATION NEITHER STARVATION NOR ANYTHING ELSE IS FINE IF EXCEED THE NORMAL RANGE.

5. FATIGUE MANIFESTED SUDDENLY HERALDS DISEASE.

6. THOSE WHO ACHE SOMEWHERE IN THE BODY, BUT DO NOT FEEL PAIN, SUFFER PSYCHOLOGICALLY.

7. THE STRENGTHENING OF THE BODY IS WEAKENED IN A LONG TIME SHOULD BE DONE SLOWLY “IN CONTRAST, FAST SHOULD BE THE STIMULATION OF BODIES WEAKEN IN THE SHORT TERM.

8. IF A PERSON EATS DURING RECOVERY, BUT STRONGER, IT MEANS THAT THE BODY NEEDS MORE FOOD • IF NOT STRONGER BECAUSE IT HAS NO APPETITE TO EAT, THEN WE MUST HAVE IN MIND THAT YOU NEED A LAXATIVE.

9. WHEN WE WANT TO CLEAN THE BODY, WE MUST FACILITATE THE ELIMINATION OF URINE AND STOOL.

10. THE MORE WE FEED THE BODY WITHOUT PARALLEL CLEARANCE, THE MORE HARM.

11. IT IS EASIER TO STIMULATE THE BODY IN LIQUID RATHER THAN SOLID FOOD.

12. WHEN AFTER THE CRISIS REMAIN MORBIDLY DATA, THE DISEASE RECURS.

13. THE CRISIS IS CAUSING DISTRESS THE NIGHT BEFORE THE FINAL FRENZY IF THE CRISIS OCCURRED THE NEXT DAY, THE SITUATION IS USUALLY MORE BEARABLE.

14. ON DIARRHEA VARIATIONS OF STOOLS OFE AMUSEMENT, THOUGH OF COURSE THESE CHANGES DO NOT GET MALIGNANT FORM.

15. WHEN THE NECK HURTS OR RASHES OCCUR IN THE BODY, WE MUST EXAMINE THE STOOLS • IF CHOLODEIS, THE WHOLE BODY IS SICK • IF NORMAL, THEN WE CAN GRANT FEARLESSLY FOOD.

16. WHEN FOOD IS LITTLE, WORK SHOULD NOT BE PAINFUL.

17. IF YOU EAT MORE THAN YOU ALLOW THE AGENCY WILL GET SICK • IT WILL LOOK AND FROM TREATMENT.

MEDICAL APHORISMS OF HIPPOCRATES ~ (MEDICAL ADVICE) SECTION 3 & 4

THE APHORISMS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT WORKS OF THE HIPPOCRATIC CORPUS. IT WAS THE SUBJECT OF ADMIRATION OF DOCTORS OF ALL TIME AND KYKLOFOROUMENO WIDELY OVER THE CENTURIES, WAS COPIED MORE THAN ALL THE OTHER WORKS OF ANCIENT GREEK MEDICAL LITERATURE. IT IS ELEMENTARY EPITOME SEMIOTICS, DIETARY, THERAPEUTIC AND PROGNOSTIC OF KOAN MEDICAL SCHOOL.

THE DESIGNER READILY UNDERSTANDS THAT THESE THOUGHTS WISE AND EXPERIENCED PHYSICIAN AND TEACHER, BUT NOT RECORDED BY THE SAME, THEREBY CONTAIN REPETITIONS AND BE UNCLASSIFIED.

IT IS LIKELY TO BE A PATTERN USED BY HIPPOCRATES FOR TEACHING. LATER STUDENTS FOUND IT AND INCLUDED IT IN HIS WORKS. SO THIS IS THE AUTHENTIC WORK OF THE FATHER OF MEDICINE:

IN THE FIRST PART, CONTAINED IN A SUMMARY MATTERS REGARDING GENERAL MEDICAL AND DIETARY-THERAPEUTIC AND GENERAL ON AUTOMATIC AND EVOKED STOOLS AND NUTRITION. “THE LIFE IS SHORT AND THE ART MAKRI, AND THE WEATHER SHARP, AND THE EXPERIENCE ERRONEOUS AND THE JUDGMENT: ALEPPO”. FAMOUS APHORISM THAT HAS BEEN FOREFRONT IN MEDICAL SCHOOLS, MEDICAL EMBLEM ON MANY PROJECTS AND HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF COMMENTS LARGE SAGES OF ANTIQUITY, SUCH AS GALEN, LUCIAN, SENECA AND YOUNGER PHYSICIANS AND PHILOSOPHERS SUCH AS GOETHE, ETC.

IN THE SECOND SECTION, INCLUDED APHORISMS RELEVANT TO PROGNOSIS OF DISEASE IN GENERAL. FIRST MENTIONED PREDICTIVE SYMPTOMS FOR SLEEP, WORTHY GREAT CLINICIAN, FOR EXAMPLE HIGH RISK OF DISEASES AGGRAVATED BY SLEEP. WISE ALSO OBSERVATION IS THAT BOTH EXCESSIVE INSOMNIA AND EXCESSIVE SLEEPINESS ARE UNPLEASANT SYMPTOMS. ALSO SUDDEN FATIGUE HERALDS IASTHENEIA, OBESE ARE MORE AT RISK OF SUDDEN DEATH FROM THE WEAK, THOSE WHO OFTEN FEEL TOO TIRED FOR NO REASON, DYING. THESE ARE ALL WISE PHYSICIAN EXPERIENCED OBSERVATIONS.

THE THIRD SECTION REFERS TO THE INFLUENCE THAT THE APPEARANCE AND CHARACTER OF THE DISEASE THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND AGE.

IN THE FOURTH SECTION, ON TREATMENT WITH EMETICS AND LAXATIVES AND DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION PARTICULARLY FEBRILE ILLNESSES, INCLUDING BANS RELEVANT TO THE PURGES, INTENTIONAL OR NOT, IN CONNECTION WITH PREGNANCY, SEASONS, THE MAKEUP OF THE INDIVIDUAL, AND NATURE OF THE DISEASE. VERY INTERESTING ARE THE APHORISMS MENTIONED IN FEVERS: SIXTHS, LABORIOUS, FEVERS TWIST NECK, INTERMITTENT, NON-INTERMITTENT, WITH SHIVERING, KAFSODEIS ETC.

IN THE FIFTH SECTION INCLUDES APHORISMS ON THE EFFECTS OF HEAT AND COLD ESPECIALLY IN SURGICAL DISEASES AND GYNECOLOGICAL DISEASES. SOME REFER AND CONVULSIONS, THE TETANIC CONVULSIONS AND EPILEPSY, OTHERS TO BREAST DISEASES. OTHERS RELATE MILK STERILIZATION, DISEASE OF THE UTERUS, MENSTRUATION. IN THIS SECTION ARE THE FAMOUS APHORISMS, UNDER WHICH THE OCCURRENCE OF SEIZURES IN TRAUMA IS FATAL PROGNOSIS, THE TABES AFFECTS PEOPLE AGED 18-35 YEARS, HEMOPTYSIS BLOOD FOAMED FROM LUNG, DIARRHEA IS DEADLY SYMPTOM IN CONSUMPTIVE, SUDDEN SLIMMING BREAST PREGNANT HERALDS SHEDDING ETC.

SECTION SIX REFER APHORISMS RELATED TO THE SYMPTOMS OF SURGICAL DISEASES. PRECIOUS ARE THOSE WHO SAID THE DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND BLADDER IN THE ELDERLY DIFFICULT TO TREAT, THAT THE INJURIES TO THE BRAIN, BLADDER, INTESTINES, HEART, DIAPHRAGM, ABDOMEN AND LIVER ARE FATAL.

FINALLY IN THE SEVENTH SECTION ARE MANY REPETITIONS APHORISMS FROM PREVIOUS PARTS. AMONG THE MOST IMPORTANT IS THE ONE THAT STATES THAT THE ENDS OF FREEZING IS DEADLY PROGNOSTIC IN SEVERE FEBRILE ILLNESSES, AS WELL AS DEADLY PREDICTOR IS THE APPEARANCE OF VOMITING, HICCUP, SPASM OR DELIRIUM IN THE ILEUM.

THE FOLLOWING APHORISM IS USUALLY MOUNTED IN OPERATING ROOMS:

” OKOSA DRUGS CDR IITAI, IRON IITAI, WHAT IRON CDR IITAI PY IITAI FIND NOT FIRE CDR IITAI, NO MONEY NOMIZEIN BOREDOM. “
