Few people have had as many words written about them down through the centuries as Julius Caesar—the brilliant general who made Queen Cleopatra of Egypt his mistress. He has captured the imagination of playwrights, historians, soldiers, and emperors. Little has been written about his ally, son-in-law, and eventual enemy Pompey the Great, who crashed onto the Roman scene as a victorious twenty-three-year-old general and who, at the height of his career, was arguably more famous, more popular, and more successful than Caesar. Caesar Versus Pompey tells the parallel life stories of Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great, as their lives and loves became intertwined and interdependent, as they grew from rivals to partners, then from joint rulers to warring foes. One strove to preserve the Roman Republic, the other destroyed it.

Is Anubis a relic of the past, or is he actively venerated now? Author Charlie Larson, a longtime priest and devotee of Anubis, answers these questions and more. Portrayed as either a black jackal or as a jackal-headed man, Anubis is Egypt's original Lord of the Dead. Anubis's domain extends beyond death, however; he is also a guardian of children and travelers and a finder of lost things. He is as modern as he is ancient—appearing in comic books, video games, and in Neil Gaiman's book American Gods and its television adaptation. Anubis was among the most significant gods of ancient Egypt. In modern times, Anubis has emerged as a sacred patron of mediums and occultists. It's widely believed that his image is among the two canines found on the tarot Moon card. Long overshadowed, at least in books, by Egyptian goddesses such as Isis and Sekhmet, Larson's book focuses the spotlight squarely on the jackal-headed god. His book features history and mythology but is also a practical guide to working with Anubis now. It features devotional practices and modern worship that includes rituals, prayers/invocations, correspondences, altars, and epithets. The book leads the listener on a journey of exploration into all things Anubis, exploring his various facets.

But how did they make a living and sometimes even become rich? The Roman economy was dominated by agriculture, but it was surprisingly modern in many ways: the Romans had companies with CEOs, shareholders, and detailed contracts regulated by meticulous laws; systems of banking and taxation; and a wide range of occupations, from merchant and doctor to architect and teacher. The Romans also enjoyed a relatively open society, where some could start from the bottom, work, invest, and grow rich. How to Make Money gathers a wide variety of ancient writings that show how Romans thought about, made, invested, spent, lost, and gave away money. The Roman elite idealized farming and service to the state but treated many other occupations with suspicion or contempt, from money lending to wage labor. But whatever their attitudes, pecunia made the Roman world go round. In the Satyricon, Trimalchio brags about his wealth. Seneca accumulated a fortune—but taught that money can't buy happiness. Eumachia inherited a brick factory from her father, married well, and turned to philanthropy after she was widowed. How to Make Money also takes up some of the most troubling aspects of the Roman economy, slavery and prostitution, which the elite deemed unrespectable but often profited from.

Sharing her years of research and personal exploration, Vanessa Lavallée presents the animistic beliefs of our long-forgotten ancestors and shows how the queens of the heavens still have a vital role to play in modern spirituality. Lavallée looks at sun goddesses who were often viewed as the mothers of the gods and reveals how to spiritually and magically work with creatrix energies. Examining how to work with the warrior goddess archetype found in goddesses such as Athena, Circe the sorceress, and Aphaia from the island of Aegina, the author explains their important connections to the Eagle constellation and eagle lore. Looking at night goddesses, including Gula-Bau, Ataegina, and Hecate, Lavallée explores their star magic and healing powers and describes their connection to death and the underworld as well as to Sirius, the Milky Way, and Vega, the goat star. Exploring lunar goddesses and their role as protectors and their connections to the swan and the Cygnus constellation, she looks at how to work with ladies of the sea such as Astarte, Aphrodite, and Tanit. Offering modern adaptations of ancient goddess magic rituals, Lavallée explains how to perform rituals for healing, protection, and purification and how to create divine amulets and figurines blessed with the goddesses’ powers. She also reveals how to practice astral bathing for spiritual guidance and presents initiation practices throughout to help you connect with each queen of the heavens.

Revela una especie de amor exasperado por la tradición en la que se crio y una suerte de risa floja ante la idea de una Virgen María que lanza llamas por cada orificio como si fuera una especie de superheroína de Marvel». Kathryn Hughes, The Guardian «En el principio existía el verbo». Esta frase, con la que comienza el Evangelio según San Juan, es clave en las enseñanzas de la Iglesia cristiana y ha sido determinante para el arte, la literatura y el lenguaje occidentales. Sin embargo, en los años posteriores a la muerte de Cristo no hubo ni una sola palabra, ni consenso alguno sobre quién era Jesús o por qué había sido importante. Hubo muchos Jesuses diferentes, entre ellos uno agresivo que despreciaba a sus padres y paralizaba a quienes se le oponían, otro que vendió a su gemelo como esclavo y alguno más que hizo crucificar a alguien en su lugar. ¿Por qué sabemos tan poco acerca de estas primeras versiones de Jesús? Porque, a partir del siglo IV d.C., la forma ortodoxa de cristianismo que se había vuelto preeminente se dedicó a eliminar sistemáticamente cualquier otra variación, denunciando sus evangelios como apócrifos y a sus seguidores como herejes. Estos desafortunados cristianos perdieron sus derechos, sus propiedades, sus iglesias y, no pocas veces, incluso sus vidas. En Herejía, Catherine Nixey recupera esas extraordinarias historias de contingencia, azar y pluralidad. La crítica ha dicho... «Herejía es un libro brillante: por momentos aterrador, en otras ocasiones divertido y siempre emocionante de leer. Sondea dolorosamente la patología de la creencia». The Times «Apasionante... La herejía ilumina un mundo olvidado y es un absoluto placer leerlo». The Sunday Telegraph «Brillante, directo y desafiante... un buen libro para aquellos a quienes les gusta pensar diferente. Es una exégesis esclarecedora, provocativa y aguda de la historia religiosa y, en consecuencia, humana». The Irish Independent «[Nixey] tiene ojo de urraca para encontrar oro en cualquier historia. Como tal, es un placer leer Herejía. Cada página está repleta de joyas fascinantes y frases bien elaboradas, mezcladas con el humor seco de la autora. La extrañeza del mundo antiguo está a la vista». The Spectator «Amplio, concebido con inteligencia y escrito con imaginación... Herejía es un libro chispeante, entretenido y que invita a la reflexión. En una era en la que el conformismo intelectual es prácticamente universal, la herejía puede ser nuestra mejor oportunidad para mantener la cordura». Literary Review «La mejor no ficción despierta el interés en un tema que antes no te interesaba. Catherine Nixey logra eso en Herejía. Cuenta una historia intelectual deliciosa y revoluciona tu comprensión de la historia occidental. Al mismo tiempo, entrega al menos un buen chiste por párrafo; te obligará a regresar a ellos para volver a disfrutarlos». The Economist

GuentherNarrator: Julian ElferFormat: Unabridged AudiobookLength: 6 hours 19 minutesRelease date: November 5, 2024Genres: Ancient CivilizationsPublisher's Summary: The island city of Tyre along the coast of Lebanon was for centuries an impregnable fortress and key to unlocking Phoenician and Persian power in the Near East. Its fall was first prophesied in the Book of Ezekiel; but it would not be Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who would take the city as the Bible foretold, but a Macedonian warrior king, Alexander. Alexander's siege of 332 BC was one of the most remarkable events in the classical world. The Siege of Tyre is the first book-length treatment of this critical and fascinating campaign, featuring catapults, triremes, religious invocations, close combat, and marvels of engineering, including a massive man-made causeway from the mainland to the island. The siege is thoroughly analyzed from the standpoint of what is plausible given the nature of the technology of the time and what we now know of the geology and physical fortifications of ancient Tyre. Critical to the siege were evolving technologies, including innovations in catapult design, military engineering, and naval architecture. David A. Guenther also takes into account recent scientific discoveries about the geology of the ancient seabed around Tyre and its effect on the siege. Finally, the book points out possible gender-biased views on topics such as sacred temple prostitution and the fate of women in besieged cities of the ancient world.

Ein geschichtlicher Überblick der Geschichte, von der Verwaltung durch den Kirchenstaat bis hin zum modernen Berufspolitiker, eröffnet faszinierende Perspektiven. Besonders interessant und geradezu zeitlos in der Analyse ist Webers Unterscheidung zwischen 'Gesinnungsethik' und 'Verantwortungsethik' - Begriffe, die noch heute Politiker in wahre Zwickmühlen bringen können... Ein zeitloses Dokument der politischen Literaturgeschichte von einem der fähigsten und schärfsten Analytiker seiner Zeit.

He overcame a stammer and the theft of his inheritance by his legal guardians to become as foundational to oratory as his contemporaries Plato and Aristotle are to philosophy. Much like a major contemporary political figure, he overcame a stammer on his journey to greatness, with “inarticulate and stammering pronunciation.” He was known as “a water drinker”; a stern and serious presence at all times. His great battle was against the waning of Athenian democracy, which slowly disintegrated into oligarchy and treason over his lifetime. As a legislator, ambassador, and leader he fought against the inexorable rise of Philip of Macedon and, later, Philip’s son Alexander. Fighting for the peace, democracy and equality that Athenian ancestors brought to all Greece, his tale ends in ruin as Athens finally falls, after more than thirty years trying to hold the line. In historical terms, many of the patterns, descriptions and arguments presented here will seem eerily familiar, like listening to Songs In The Key Of Life for the first time. Every part of it has been reused a thousand times by people ever since its creation, so you are intimately familiar with the style, even if you have never come across it before. After a prestigious career of public service, the tide turned against him. An accusation of bribery leads to his most famous speech, On The Crown. This defense of his career as the tides turned against him has been described as “the greatest speech of the greatest orator in the world.” After his conviction, he escaped from prison and went on the run. He was exiled, brought back, then sentenced to death; eventually, fleeing the city again, this time to the island of Kalaureia (modern-day Poros). Discovered by Archias, he asked for time to write a letter to his family, and took poison from a reed.

März 44 v. Chr. unter den Dolchen der Verschwörer fällt – tödlich verwundet durch mindestens 23 Stiche. Wie konnte es nur so weit kommen? Wer waren die Täter? Und vor allem: Welche Motive trieben sie zu dem Mord? Als historischer Ermittler haucht Michael Sommer dieser weltberühmten Kriminalgeschichte neues Leben ein und lässt die beteiligten Akteure samt ihren Beweggründen, Ambitionen und Hoffnungen wieder lebendig werden. Das Attentat mag Caesar unerwartet getroffen haben, doch aus heiterem Himmel kam es nicht. Im Stillen hatte sich seit längerer Zeit eine Gruppe aus alten Gegnern und enttäuschten Anhängern formiert, die ihm nach dem Leben trachtete. Nach seiner Ausrufung zum Diktator auf Lebenszeit am 15. Februar 44 v. Chr. begann sich das Netz einer Verschwörung zu spinnen, die sich auf den unvermeidlichen blutigen Höhepunkt an den Iden des März hin zuspitzen sollte. Auf Grundlage der reichen antiken Quellen schildert Michael Sommer die Geschehnisse aus den verschiedenen Perspektiven einer Vielzahl beteiligter Akteure. Mit detektivischer Genauigkeit legt er dabei die teils sehr unterschiedlichen Motive der Caesar-Mörder offen. Die sogartige Darstellung dieses Tyrannenmordes wird so zugleich zum Spiegel einer ganzen Epoche im Umbruch.

Jeffrey TatumNarrator: Christopher GroveFormat: Unabridged AudiobookLength: 21 hours 34 minutesRelease date: September 10, 2024Genres: Ancient CivilizationsPublisher's Summary: A complex and captivating portrait of Mark Antony that offers a fresh perspective on the fall of the Roman Republic In his lifetime, Mark Antony was a famous man. Ally and avenger of Julius Caesar, rhetorical target of Cicero, lover of Cleopatra, and mortal enemy of Octavian (the future emperor Augustus), Antony played a leading role in the transformation of the Roman world. Ever since his and Cleopatra's demise at the hands of Octavian, he has remained famous, or infamous, a figure of recurring fascination. His life—variegated, passionate, sensual, bold, and tragic—inspires vigorous reactions. Nearly everyone has a view on Antony. For Cicero, he was a distasteful though talented man. Octavian fashioned him a dangerous failure, a Roman noble corrupted by his appetites and his lust for Cleopatra. Later historians adopted and adapted these themes, delivering their readers an Antony who was irresistibly depraved, startlingly brave, sometimes cunning, but almost always constitutionally incapable of choosing the right side of history. From these, especially Plutarch's compelling portrait, Shakespeare gave us the chivalrous and unstudied Antony of Antony and Cleopatra. A Noble Ruin allows listeners to freshly assess his conduct, ambitions, and attainments, as well as the turbulent age in which he lived.

Leaving no headstone unturned, Sacha Coward will take you on a wild ride through the night from ancient Greece to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race, visiting cross-dressing pirates, radical fairies and the graves of the ‘queerly departed' along the way. Queer communities have often sought refuge in the shadows, found kinship in the in-between and created safe spaces in underworlds; but these forgotten narratives tell stories of remarkable resilience that deserve to be heard. To truly understand who queer people are today, we must confront the twisted tales of the past and Queer as Folklore is a celebration of queer history like you've never seen it before.

CraigFormat: Unabridged AudiobookLength: 7 hours 11 minutesRelease date: August 27, 2024Genres: Ancient CivilizationsPublisher's Summary: Putting the games in the context of Rome's rise and dramatic fall, Mannix captures all the history, planning, and savage pageantry that went into creating the first spectator sports. The games began in 238 BC as nearly county fair–like entertainment, with trick riding, acrobats, trained animals, chariot racing, and athletic events. The contests then evolved into slave fights thanks to wealthy patricians Marcus and Decimus Brutus, who wanted to give their father an unforgettable funeral by reviving an old tradition. What the brothers wrought, Rome devoured, demanding even greater violence to satisfy the bloodlust of the crowd. Architectural wonders in themselves, massive arenas like Circus Maximus and the Colosseum were built, able to host sea battle reenactments on actual water. Successful gladiators found fame, fortune—and freedom. But as Rome begin to fall in the fifth century, so did the games, devolving into nothing more than pointless massacres. In the end, millions of humans and animals were sacrificed in barbaric displays. What were once ceremonies given in honor of gods met an inglorious fate, yet they still captivate the imagination of people today. Contains mature themes.

Only recently has its perceived importance faded. In this book, renowned rhetorical scholar Robin Reames argues that, in today's polarized political climate, we should all care deeply about learning rhetoric. Drawing on examples ranging from the destructive ancient Greek demagogue Alcibiades to modern-day conspiracists like Alex Jones, Reames breaks down the major techniques of rhetoric, pulling back the curtain on how politicians, journalists, and 'journalists' convince us to believe what we believe—and to talk, vote, and act accordingly. Understanding these techniques helps us avoid being manipulated by authority figures who don't have our best interests at heart. It also grants us rare insight into the values that shape our own beliefs. Learning rhetoric, Reames argues, doesn't teach us what to think but how to think—allowing us to understand our own and others' ideological commitments in a completely new way. Thoughtful, nuanced, and leavened with dry humor, The Ancient Art of Thinking for Yourself offers an antidote to our polarized, post-truth world.
