Topic: Surena


In the News (Tue 2 Dec 08)

  
  GENERAL SURENA - (The Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies - CAIS)©
Surena was the tallest and finest looking man himself, but the delicacy of his looks and effeminacy of his dress did not promise so much manhood as he really was master of; or his face was painted, and his hair parted after the fashion of the Medes.
The Iranian forces under Surena consisted, according to Plutarch, of a thousand fully armored lancers, the cataphracts, who formed the bodyguard of the General.
Additionally, the Romans had anticipated that the Iranian cavalry would quickly exhaust their stock of arrows; but the camel train of General Surena made it possible for him to bring up plentiful stocks of arrows as the quivers of his men were emptied.

  Crassus by Plutarch
Surena, therefore, perceiving his soldiers less inclined to expose themselves, and knowing that if the Romans should prolong the battle till night, they might then gain the mountains and be out of his reach, betook himself to his usual craft.
Surena told him that from that time there was a league between the king his master and the Romans, but that Crassus must go with him to the river to sign it, "for you Romans," said he, "have not good memories for conditions," and so saying, reached out his hand to him.
Surena sent the head and hand of Crassus to Hyrodes the king, into Armenia, but himself by his messengers scattering a report that he was bringing Crassus alive to Seleucia, made a ridiculous procession, which, by way of scorn, he called a triumph.

  Surena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Surena (84 - 52 BCE) is the most common appelation for Iran Spahbod Rustaham Suren-Pahlav, son of Arakhsh (Arash, pers.) and Massis.
The name Surena is preserved amongst the tales of epic heroes whose deeds are recalled in the Kayanian section of the Shahnameh.
The feat of arms performed by Surena was certainly the most celebrated of the whole Ashkanian/Arsacid (Parthian) era, and did not vanish entirely.

 Carrhae
Surena's intial idea was to smash the Roman lines with the 1,000 or so cataphracts that he had at his disposal.
Surena quickly spotted, however, that the depth of the Roman formation was too great for his cataphracts to smash, and ordered the charge abandoned.
Surena was executed by his jealous king shortly after the battle: but his family would eventually contribute to the overthrow of the ruling dynasty and thus to the rise of the Sassanids, also legendary enemies of Rome.

Surena: Greek and Latin rendering of Sûrên, the name of a noble family in ancient Parthia.
Surena was an extremely distinguished man. In wealth, birth, and in the honor paid to him, he ranked next after the king; in courage and ability he was the foremost Parthian of his time; and in stature and personal beauty he had no equal.

 Action Hero   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Andre Surena's 30-year career as an international lawyer for the State Department reads like a best-selling novel: chief negotiator in high-stakes Cold War spy swaps; lead lawyer for Middle East peace-keepers and architect of U.S. strategy for extraditing and prosecuting international drug traffickers and terrorists; defender of refugees fleeing persecution; and promoter of human rights.
Surena was legal adviser to the U.S. Mission in Berlin before German unification, at a time, he said, "when every third or fourth person was involved in some sort of espionage." Working in English, German and French with foreign counterparts, he managed numerous high-stakes crises coolly and astutely.
At the State Department's request, Surena later served as General Counsel to the Multinational Force and Observers, the peace-keeping organization for the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty.

Julius Caesar in 44 B.C. An interesting fact is that Surena, Crassus and Cassius were all involved in internal conspiring and factionalism at one time or another in their respective empires.

 SURENA
Qu’on le veuille ou non, ce « SURENA » créé au Vieux-Colombier est profondément marqué du sceau d’Anne Delbée au point que la lecture du Dossier de presse et du programme est une condition sine qua non pour comprendre les intentions de sa mise en scène.
Pour cette dernière Clotilde de Bayser et François Beaulieu ont particulièrement retenu notre attention par le charisme de leur jeu très coulé, voire sensuel.
SURENA est donc une pièce très intéressante car la complexité des personnages est inversement proportionnelle au refus du compromis qui cherche à s’insinuer entre Amour et Raison d’Etat et surtout parce qu’elle pose la problématique de l’Idéal confronté au Pouvoir.
