This is a study of sea power and maritime strategy in the Classical Greek world. More than just a study of navies and battles, it examines how the sea was used to influence events ashore and how the use of naval power combined with land power had a defining impact on the period. After an examination of the oft-overlooked practical issues of navigation and administration, the book explores the idea of a 'maritime consciousness' in Greece and how this shaped the way the Greeks engaged in war. Naval operations from the Persian Wars down to the rise of Thebes are examined at the operational and strategic level, including a catalogue of the hundreds of different maritime operations from the 5 th and 4 th centuries BCE. Further, while the great sea power Athens is most prominent, it looks at other city-states to examine how they utilised sea power. This new approach uses modern theory to highlight some enduring lessons of sea power. It demonstrates that Classical scholars should embrace sea power as an important concept in the Greek world. Modern scholars of naval and strategic studies should cast their gaze further back in time when looking for lessons in sea power. This book helps to bridge the scholarship between these two disciplines.

A Swordmaiden's hand is not easily won Theseus, king of the Court of Knowledge, is desperate. With the barrier to the Realm of Monsters wearing thin and the chaos of Midsummer Night approaching, he needs to do something drastic to save his Court. If he doesn't secure warriors to protect his Court from the monsters, his people, the Great Library, and all the knowledge of the Fae Realm that it contains could be destroyed. That leaves him with the choice to either bargain with another Court and hope the price isn't too steep or face deadly trials to win the hand of Queen Hippolyta of the Court of Swordmaidens, a court of mysterious warrior women. Marriage seems like the better option, but the trials prove to be trickier than Theseus feared. Even worse, he finds himself drawn to Ariadne, the serving maid, instead of the cold-hearted Queen Hippolyta. Will he have to choose between his heart and saving his Court?

The conventional portrayal of prehistoric gender roles has long depicted men as hunters and women as gatherers, perpetuating the notion that women played a passive role in early human societies. However, recent research and archaeological findings have challenged this narrative, revealing a more complex and nuanced understanding of prehistoric gender roles, women played an active role in hunting, and their biology meant that they were capable of long hours of wearing down an animal. "The Ancient Huntress" delves into this captivating exploration of prehistoric societies, with a keen focus on the often overlooked role of women in these ancient civilizations. This book seeks to unravel the intricacies of gender dynamics by shedding light on the lives of the ancient huntresses-women who defied conventional norms and played active, pivotal roles in their communities.

Rome, 58 AD.¿ ¿ The dinner party didn't turn out the way Aemilius Valerius expected. He didn't expect a place at the main table. He didn't expect to drink that much. He didn't expect to hook up with one of the scarier dancers. And he most certainly didn't expect to trip over the bloody corpse of his host on the floor of the informal dining room.¿ ¿ One man's grisly murder is another man's opportunity. Valerius teams up with the investigator, a plebeian with a chip on his shoulder, to discover the killer. Mad Uncle Maro promised it would be a smart career move, but that was before a second senator turned up dead. Now everything points towards a corrupt legion, an imperial assassin, and the emperor's mother. It might have been smarter to accept that honorary priesthood, stupid hat or not.¿

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit soll untersuchen, wie die Beziehungen zwischen Römern und Persern, persischen Christen und dem persischen König waren und welche Rolle Bischöfe darin gespielt haben. Ein detaillierter Fokus wird hier vor allem auf den persischen Großkönig Yazdegerd I. gelegt. Um dieses Geflecht der unterschiedlichen Religionen, Menschen und Würdenträgern in den beiden Reichen zu entschlüsseln, soll zuerst eine Übersicht über die Geschichte des vierten Jahrhunderts und die Beziehungen zwischen Römischem Reich und Persischem Reich gegeben werden. Anschließend erfolgt die genauere Betrachtung König Yazdegerds. Hierbei liegt der Fokus auf der Beziehung zwischen Römern und Persern und der Stellung der Christen während seiner Regentschaft. Anschließend soll die Bedeutung der Christen für Yazdegerd analysiert werden und mit einem Ausblick auf die Zeit nach Yazdegerds soll untersucht werden, wie sich deren Stellung veränderte. Am Schluss soll ein Fazit gezogen werden.
