Menander (Rhetorician) - LoveToKnow 1911 Two incomplete treatises on epideictic (or show) speeches have been preserved under his name, but it is generally considered that they cannot be by the same author. Bursian attributes the first to Menander, whom he placed in the 4th century, and the second to an anonymous rhetorician of Alexandria Troas, who possibly lived in the time of Diocletian. In view of the general tradition of antiquity, that both treatises were the work of Menander, it is possible that the author of the second was not identical with the Menander mentioned by SuIdas, since the name is of frequent occurrence in later Greek literature. www.1911encyclopedia.org /Menander_(Rhetorician)   (194 words)

Menander - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Menander ( 342 – 291 BC), Greek dramatist, the chief representative of the New Comedy, was born in Athens. The Bacchides and Stichus of Plautus were probably based upon Menander's The Double Deceiver and Philadelphoi, The Brotherly-Loving Men, but the Poenulus, does not seem to be from The Carthaginian, nor the Mostellaria from The Apparition, in spite of the similarity of titles. Menander's chief strengths seem to be the facility of language, accurate portrayal of manners, and naturalness of the sentiments which he puts into the mouth of his dramatis personae. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Menander   (758 words)

Procopius himself was born to a family of noble landowners based in Caesarea and came to a position in the administration, but not a sedentary post in Constantinople; he served as aide to the general Belisarius, to whom he dedicated the Wars. syrcom.cua.edu /hugoye/vol4no1/HV4N1CRAlchermes.html   (4489 words)

Articles - Demetrius I of Bactria   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) However, the campaigns to Pataliputra are generally attested to the later king Menander I and Demetrius I probably only invaded areas in Punjab, Kashmir and Pakistan, the latter including areas taken from the Seleucid kings, who were weakened after their defeat to the Romans in 190. Demetrius II left behind his generals Apollodotus and Menander I, who in turn became kings of India and rulers of the Indo-Greek Kingdom following his death. Also in another parallel, the characteristic protector deity of Demetrius ( Herakles standing with his club over his arm, as seen on the reverse of his coins), was represented in the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara as the protector deity of the Buddha. www.awningz.com /articles/Demetrius_I_of_Bactria   (792 words)

Sacral Kingship in Sasanian Iran (Part I) - (The Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies - CAIS)© The king was expected to fulfill his role as supreme protector and enforcer of law and order through defending Iran in combat, and by submission of his subjects to his will and reason (DKM 287.17-22). The de Legationibus of Menander Protector (mid- to late sixth century) is a reliable source for the later Sasanian era. Further, the linking of all previous ruling families to the Sasanians, and the perception of these rulers as protectors and governors of the faith, reveals that the Sasanians used Zoroastrian doctrine to legitimize their political ideology of sacral kingship (D KM 411.17-415.3/. www.cais-soas.com /CAIS/History/Sasanian/sacral_kingship.htm   (8769 words)

The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, by Edward Gibbon (chapter46) they secretly invoked the protector of the Christians, and, after the pious murder of their satraps, the rebels were avowed and supported as the brethren and subjects of the Roman emperor. The complaints of Nushirvan were disregarded by the Byzantine court; Justin yielded to the importunities of the Turks, who offered an alliance against the common enemy; and the Persian monarchy was threatened at the same instant by the united forces of Europe, of Aethiopia, and of Scythia. Menander, the historian, not only, as appears by a fragment published by Mai, related this event in his history, but, according to M. St. Martin, wrote a tragedy on the subject. etext.library.adelaide.edu.au /g/gibbon/edward/g43d/chapter46.html   (17881 words)

Hormizd IV at AllExperts From his father he had inherited a war against the Byzantine Empire and against the Turks in the east, and negotiations of peace had just begun with the Emperor Tiberius II, but Hormizd IV haughtily declined to cede anything of the conquests of his father. Therefore the accounts given of him by the Byzantine authors, Theophylact Simocatta (iii.16 ff), Menander Protector and John of Ephesus (vi.22), who give a full account of these negotiations, are far from favourable. In 588 Hormizd IV's general, Bahram Chobin (who became rival King Bahram VI), defeated the Turks, but in the next year (589) was beaten by the Romans; and when the King superseded him he rebelled with his army. en.allexperts.com /e/h/ho/hormizd_iv.htm   (427 words)

The Magic of the Horseshoe: The Magic Of The Horse-shoe: VIII. Fire As A Spirit-scaring Element In the "Rig-Veda," the principal sacred book of the Hindus, the crackling of burning fagots was listened to as the voice of the gods, and the same superstition prevails still among the natives of Borneo. In a fragment of the writings of Menander Protector, a Greek historian of the sixth century, it is related that when an embassy sent by the Emperor Justin reached Sogdiana, the ancient Bokhara, it was met by a party of Turks, who proceeded to exorcise their baggage by beating drums and ringing bells over it. They then ran around the baggage, bearing aloft flaming leaves, meantime, by their gestures and movements, seeking to repel evil spirits; after which some of the party themselves passed through fire as a means of purification. www.sacred-texts.com /etc/mhs/mhs11.htm   (659 words)

The Evidence of Theophylaktos Simokatta - Transoxiana Eran ud Aneran They were attempting to prove that the population admitted by Byzantium used the name Avar for malicious reasons, since they were actually Varchonites, the subjects of the Turks fleeing from their rule. Protector Menander described the Turk envoy arriving in Byzantium in 568 as follows: The Sogdian Maniach and his fellow envoys bringing the Scythian letter sent by the Turk kagan in 568 were only talking about the rebellion of the Hephtalite city dwelling people [...] and part of the Avars against the Turk rule. It must be stated that these three quotations form an integral part of the text, and not only contextually, but also syntactically, as it is proved that Theophylaktos drew on Menander as a source. www.transoxiana.com.ar /Eran/Articles/dobrovits.html   (3197 words)
