Carnot, Organizer of Transversals In the area of geometry, Carnot is best known for his theory of transversals.  This included a generalization of the ancient theorem of Menelaus which asserts that if a straight line intersects the (extended) edges AB, BC, CA of a triangle at the points P, Q, R respectively, then AP Of course, since these are straight lines in Carnot's theorem, the coefficients of terms above the first degree can be taken as zero, but it's convenient to evaluate the more general case, and then specialize to the case of straight lines at the end. Focusing on polynomials of degree n, a fairly simple algebraic proof for this proposition can be given, and, as is often the case with generalizations, it greatly clarifies the "reason" that the original theorem is true.  Let the curve of degree n be represented by the polynomial www.mathpages.com /home/kmath466/kmath466.htm

TOQ-John V. Day-European Roots-Vol 2 No 3   When characterizing his Greek warrior-heroes, Homer says nothing about the coloring of Agamemnon, but he does picture Achilles, Meleager, Menelaus, and Odysseus as fair-haired—a coloring that coincides with their youthfulness.  Certainly by classical times, however, the great majority of Greeks had dark hair. Polemon may have drawn these ideas from Pseudo-Aristotle, the most important Greek physiognomist, who in his third century B.C. Physiognomica declares that the most perfect male type is the lion with its fair mane.   The decay continued in imperial times.  We know of the families of nearly four hundred Roman senators in A.D. sixty five, but, just one generation later, all trace of half of these families had vanished. www.theoccidentalquarterly.com /vol2no3/jvd-europeans.html

Helen’s cuckolded husband Menelaus would have taken back his wife only to slit her throat had she not possessed such wonderful breasts.

Leukippe and Kleitophon After this meeting the general implores Menelaus to use his influence to obtain Leukippe for him. Although during the trial Menelaus had demanded the death penalty for himself (at standard scene in ancient romances), he had instead been sentenced to three years of exile, and now was returning home. Such false deaths are a staple of the ancient romance, which, perhaps in a spirit of parody Achilles Tatius multiples here. chss2.montclair.edu /classics/Petronius/Leucippe.html   (5021 words)

Troy and Iliad There was a legend that Stesichorus was punished in some way for his poems that were hostile to women in general and Helen in particular. In most traditions, the Dioscuri actually appear with the generation of heroes preceding this (Jason and the Argonauts, Hercules), which doesn't make temporal sense, as Helen and Clytemnestra would be quite old when they married Menelaus and Agamemnon. This story of a phantom Helen going to Troy, while the real Helen remained faithful to her husband in Egypt, is very strange. staff.jccc.net /bnorcott/M&Lchapters/seventeen.htm   (2177 words)

BBC NEWS Entertainment Film Review: Troy When Paris (Orlando Bloom), the young prince of Troy persuades Helen, Queen of Sparta (Diane Kruger), to leave her husband, King Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson), and elope to Troy, war is inevitable. And I think "Troy" does just that very easily and convincingly - the purposelessness (if there is such a word !?) or perhaps the vacuity of war in general and the fact that fighting seems to be timeless. Troy's extremely accurate in many ways - for instance, there actually were Greeks and Trojans in the original epic. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/entertainment/film/3691071.stm   (4920 words)

Troilus and Cressida ACHILLES To him, Patroclus; tell him I humbly desire the valiant Ajax to invite the most valorous Hector to come unarmed to my tent, and to procure safe-conduct for his person of the magnanimous and most illustrious six-or-seven-times-honoured captain-general of the Grecian army, Agamemnon, et cetera. To be a dog, a mule, a cat, a fitchew, a toad, a lizard, an owl, a puttock, or a herring without a roe, I would not care; but to be Menelaus, I would conspire against destiny. THERSITES Agamemnon is a fool to offer to command Achilles; Achilles is a fool to be commanded of Agamemnon; Thersites is a fool to serve such a fool, and Patroclus is a fool positive. www.sacred-texts.com /sks/tac/tac.htm   (17013 words)

Tales of Troy - Chapter 9 Eurypylus desired to slay Agamemnon and Menelaus, and end the war, but, as the spears of the Scots encompassed King James at Flodden Field till he ran forward, and fell within a lance's length of the English general, so the men of Crete and Pylos guarded the two princes with their spears. With a heavy heart, then, Priam sent the golden vine, but Eurypylus was glad when he saw it, and bade all his men arm, and harness the horses to the chariots, and glad were the Trojans when the long line of the new army wound along the road and into the town. But their hope was not to be fulfilled, for though next day Eurypylus met Neoptolemus in the battle, and was slain by him, when the Greeks chased the Trojans into their city so great a storm of lightning and thunder and rain fell upon them that they retreated again to their camp. www.worldwideschool.org /library/books/lit/fantasy/TalesofTroy/chap9.html   (5585 words)

Iphigeneia at Aulis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Clytemnestra and Iphigeneia try in vain to persuade Agamemnon to change his mind, but the general believes he has no choice. The picture starred Tatiana Papamoschou as Iphigenia, Kostas Kazakos as Agamemnon, Costas Carras as Menelaus, Christos Tsagas as Ulysses, Panos Mihalopoulos as Achilles, Dimitri Aronis as Calchas, and the legendary actress Irene Papas as Clytemnestra. Therefore, he sends a message to his wife, Clytemnestra, telling her to bring Iphigeneia to Aulis on the pretense that the girl is to be married to the Greek warrior Achilles before he sets off to war. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Iphigeneia_at_Aulis   (5585 words)

hunt.html Both Pappus and Proclus call him Menelaus of Alexandria (Heath 260), so we may assume that he spent some of his time in Rome, and much of his time in Alexandria. It is believed that this treatise contained some general trigonometric theory together with some tables.

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.06.08 To this discussion K adds excellent analysis of eighth-century Lakonian ties to the epic past through genealogies and worship of Menelaus, Agamemnon, Orestes, and other figures of local importance, including Helen, Sparte, Lakedaimon, and the Tyndarid family in general. The Heraklids were also brought into this local genealogy perhaps as early as the beginning of the seventh century and thus competitively emphasized the right of return to Lakonian territory. Manipulation of the tradition of the Heraklid founders of Argos in particular can be traced back to the second half of the eighth century. ccat.sas.upenn.edu /bmcr/2004/2004-06-08.html   (1833 words)

Between The Testaments - Fundamental Baptist Institute He went to the king at Antioch and told him that Judas had driven out all his friends and was taking the country away from the Seleucids at Antioch, whereupon the Syrian king sent against Judas the old general, Lysias, who had served under Antiochus Epiphanies, with a great army. Menelaus, having been driven out by Judas, made an appeal to the king at Antioch, and a number of the Jew8 sided with him—those who had gone into copying the Greek spirit. A great many elephants were in the army of Lysias, and one of them being larger than the others and having more gorgeous trappings, was supposed by Eleazar to carry the commander-in-chief, Lysias So he dashed forward alone and got under the elephant and, stabbing upward, killed him. www.fbinstitute.com /carroll/6.html   (1833 words)

Menelaus and Ceva To illustrate, consider three points A,B,C on the Euclidean plane, and let a,b,c denote points on the opposite edges of the triangle formed by those points.  The general projective coordinates of the basis vectors A, B, and C are (k Thus Ceva's condition is sufficient as well as necessary to ensure that  a,b,g  are valid barycentric coordinates of a single point, so the proof is complete.  Incidentally, making use of the third equality for each coefficient, we can reduce the expressions for these coordinates to For the same set of velocities, the Theorem of Ceva gives six lines that intersect in four points, one internal and three external, as shown below. www.mathpages.com /home/kmath442/kmath442.htm   (922 words)
