..."History of Herodotus." Pache writes, "No scholar would question the authenticity of Herodotus or of Thucydides merely because the only usable manuscripts of their works are 1300 years more recent than the originals." The works of Sophocles, there is but one manuscript, it being transcribe 1400 yrs after his death. The point was that the Bible stands unique in transmission and preservation. Also, rather than run to google, I'd ...

... 54), opium (Weil, 82), cannabis (Weil, 114) and psychoactive mushrooms were used in Southeast Asian cultures (Weil, 99). The Greeks and Romans consumed opiates (Weil, 82), and Aristotle, Plato, and Sophocles among many others all participated in rituals involving the ingestion of psychotropic fungi during religious ceremonies at the temple of Demeter in Eleusis (6). New World cultures maintained a profound relationship with entheogenic ...

... to tell you what it would be most expedient for you not to hear? What is best of all is utterly beyond your reach: not to be born, not to be, to be nothing. But the second best for you is -- to die soon." (BT:3 [Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus, 1224ff]) Silenus tells us we do best by dying as soon as possible. Why do we reject his advice? All of us, some of the time, some of us, all of the time, and most of us, most of the time, are ...

...men (with no separate toilet facilities) during the days-long festivals of Dionysus, giggling at satyr- phalluses and Aristophanic obscenities about their adulteries, or bored enough to allow their eyes to wander during one of Sophocles' choral odes to make eye contact with someone of the opposite sex.

... fear Herakles. He is the strongest man in the world and can even overpower Ares (Shield of Herakles). The people do not want to upset Herakles. He is known for killing people who cross him (e.s. Lichas in Sophocles Trachiniae). He is also know for his unpredictable nature and his beast-god qualities. Herakles has an awful temper. Shamans are cultural outcasts in a way as well. They often survive on the fringes of the community. They ...

Free, c'ГЁ Celtx, mentre a pagamento credo che lo standard sia Final Draft, anche se ve ne sono di molto simili come Sophocles o Movie Magic Screenwriter. Altrimenti, per chi usa OpenOffice.org esiste un template molto ben fatto. Ciao, Alessio (a.k.a. Kinglion Il Meticcio) -- 11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language ...
