How Long Can I Take Ativan

MIGRATION - E tui, sesi de chine? 6



Brace. Because, finally, the big boys are coming.
Yes, the colonization of Sardinia is not only known "children." He also witnessed the arrival of "important people".
do not know if this has been an honor, but there was also this. We must simply accept.
What then behind the "big boys" is hiding interpretatio the Greek god of some other foreigner, do not know.
(If you do not know what the Greek interpretatio, migrate temporarily to our small note at the bottom and then come back!)

The first big as we have already appointed: Aristeo. Already from the name (linked to the aristos = "best", the "noble", etc..) Understand that this is not a secondary character. E 'son of Apollo and Cyrene, but not a "son of" nebulous as they are Norac and Sardo. Far from it!

Aristeo, in fact, appears in various myths, some very famous.

E 'him, for example, that chases Eurydice, wife of Orpheus, and it causes death. So Orpheus must descend into Hades to seek his beloved. Note little story, no?
E 'him the father of Actaeon, turned into a stag and torn to pieces by its own for seeing the goddess Artemis naked. But

Aristeo is above all a great "culture hero" who brings knowledge to mankind. Aristeo is a great hunter, he has to "discover" the honey for our species, humanity is he to explain various aspects of cultivation, as the olive.
And finally he is especially deadly to teach the techniques of farming and the manufacture of cheese.

That alone would be enough to plug it trivially to our island, especially if you're one of those banal contemporary believe that the most banal stereotypes about Sardinia (Sardinian are all pastors "...).

Aristeo But, I recognize mythographers Greeks, did not stop there: it was in Sardinia colonizer and founder of the city.

Alas!, There are the myths of the Phoenicians, not to mention those of Sardi themselves. So we can not know whether, under the name of greek Aristeo, there really is the father of Actaeon, or more likely some other hero of the far West that the Greeks identified with Aristeo. It was an important person, surely, of which there are testimonies of worship in the southern part of Sardinia. It is no coincidence ...


says a writer, someone believed to be Aristotle, that Sardinia, "in ancient times, was prosperous and dispenser of each product. Our writer (yes, well let's call it "Pseudo-Aristotle" as do the scholars) reports that it was said that the case could only be one: Aristeo had arrived with his wealth of knowledge ("Women! It 's got 'grinder! ") in otherwise civilized lands backward.
According to the fragments of Sallust, that sometimes we have mentioned, the route taken by Aristeo was: tormented by the death of Actaeon, his mother advises him to leave Thebes in Greece and look elsewhere. Before you go Crete (then uninhabited), Daedalus and then meets with him to get to Sardinia.
Silio Italico causes stresses and the travel destination. But

mythographers and historians do not always agree on versions. If you remember (if I do not remember, click here !) Crete at that time was not so mythical depopulated. Indeed, he was a naval power. It did not leave a Crete that Daedalus was coming, but fled from Minos, he disappointed in several ways. A Minos who had reigned for years after inheriting the throne of Crete by his stepfather.

short, according to various sources, Sallust had been mistaken. But the strange thing is
I serve, the famous commentator of Virgil, refers precisely to a passage in Sallust, Crete and the island is not uninhabited, but CEO.

The Sicilian Diodorus, it corrects the shot. The path Aristeo was more articulate. First stop in a CEO (which leaves some descending), then go in the Libya (we imagine in the region of Cyrene, which he dedicated to mothers?) And finally arrives in Sardinia. This
Agha Khan of high times is the beautiful island ... and colonization. So is being done to improve it: plantations and crops rise thanks to his work, and are flourishing. So much so that his two sons were born here: Carmo and Callicarpa. "Callicarpa" means "beautiful fruit ", and" Carmo "is linked to the word meaning" joy, joy. "
I'm not certain names from agriculture in crisis! However, our
Istance eore (cultural) did not stop there, but moved to "other" islands, finally arriving in Sicily. What are the islands touched on this trip we do not know, but just say that it was the Egadi, it seems a bit 'reductive.

Yes, but when he got Aristeo? In that position he finished in this race between those who wanted to colonize Sardinia?
pluricitata Our source, not the tourist-by-case Pausanias, is a bit 'summary of the opinions and reasoning on it. Even in his Aristeo partly due to the pain of the death of Actaeon and arrives in Sardinia after the Libyans (Sardo). Pausanias
dispute that has come with Daedalus (fleeing from the Cretans, in one of the sources consulted by our visitors writer), in chronological questions: Aristeo lived in Thebes in Boeotia at the time of the sons of Cadmus, Daedalus at the time of Oedipus, after a few generations. So the time has not come back.
(cadmium, immigrant and founder of the famous city, we'll talk again ...) there was or was not
Daedalus, Pausanias is sure: Aristeo introduced agriculture in Sardinia, but not established cities. In fact, both in the number of settlers as "work force" was not in this shipment able to build one.

And here there is no agreement. Solino (III century AD), in fact, as we have said elsewhere, said Aristeo founded Karalis, and unifies them Libi (Sardo) and Iberia (of Norac) that previously refused any authority.

Once again the puzzle of the mythical origins of the inhabitants of Sardinia appears contradictory. When he arrived
Aristeo? Came before or after the other? Who accompanied him? Karalis founded or not?
The answer may have been told in comic form. Also on our service, in fact, tells us that Daedalus stopped in Sardinia, then reached Cumae in Campania, and he founded the famous Temple of Apollo where Enea also made a stop on the road with his Trojans.
Here, on the doors of the temple, he painted the steps of his journey.

But what would Daedalus in Sardinia (and even some of the Trojans detour on the island), we'll talk again.


Some small notes
A site that collects the various versions of the myth of Aristeo in Sardinia can be found here .

interpretatio What is Greek? Our Greek friends were in the habit of believing to have invented their own, and that they were the only ones talking greek. So, in anticipation of centuries Christians who converted pagan gods into saints, even the Greeks "interpretation" of gods and heroes of other people as "bad translation" and "misunderstanding" of gods and heroes of Greece. A sort of cultural colonialism. So
Melqart Phoenician, for some of its characteristics was considered equivalent to Hercules, Amon \\ Ammon was identified with Zeus, and so on.
So it is not unlikely that the name of Aristeo son of Apollo, tied to Boeotia and Arcadia, was superimposed on some hero (or god) African Phoenician, Sardinia or whatever, with whom he shared the link with agriculture and pastoralism.

No Birthday Present Pay For Meal Wording

authoritative definition - Myths modern


Sergei Luk'janenko is the Russian author who revolutionized the world of Fantasy saga with his Guardian. The idea is simple: almost all the mythical creatures, whether they be good or bad, really exist. They are the "Others", created by humans but fundamentally different. They are divided into two camps: the forces of Darkness and the Light forces, fighting an endless war. Although, in reality, an updated version of the Cold War, have reached a status quo: They plan, plot, you check each other, but basically neither side can prevail over the other.
In one of the tales that make up the volume "The Guardians of the Dusk", a powerful character is killed. It is killed in a way that seems for an even more unlikely. So while we talk about books for these mythical mythical beings, is an interesting dialogue ...

Patch For Heartgold U

MIGRATION - E tui, sesi de chine? 5


Before cheap flights to Barcelona Cagliari. Before the Erasmus. Before the fleet of Cardinal Alberoni. Before the Viceroy many predators. Before Pedro de Luna and Martin junior.
Before them there were the Balari mercenaries, and even before Norac, Norax or if you prefer. Why
to move from the Iberian Peninsula and conquer Sardinia, distance has never been too much.

But from the first Iberian soil Sardinian Norac.

The Roman historian Sallust in a fragment tells us that Norac was the son of Hermes and Eritehia, daughter of Geryon.
Which is like saying that Norac was from the West, from Iberia. Why Geryon the three bodies, the fact Heracles out because their herds were not too good to be stolen, before ending up in Dante's Inferno, was a king of the land where the sun goes down.
In fact, according Solino (III century AD), Norac and his left from Tartessus in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Cadiz. The usual

Pausanias (second century AD) adds that the Iberians arrived in Sardinia after Aristeo. Some may argue that maybe we should talk about Aristeo first to tell the Iberians, but we will see that the matter is more complex than it seems.
Anyway, Pausanias says that, with imagination, Norac gave his name to the town of Nora. And in most states that this was the first city \u200b\u200bof the island.
If we remember that the previous inhabitants as happened often lived in huts and caves, the arrival of the English (first and last time in the troubled history of Sardinia) coincided with an increase.

So, thanks to Norac was founded the first city.
But the island's environment, even then, no one would deny that success, alas English: the famous definition that sees as Sardis "pocos, locos y unidos mal."
"Locos" (crazy) do not know, really. But they were "ill-unidos" (disunited) was not something he doubted. Among the Iberians and Libyans Nora arrived earlier under the guidance Sardo there were conflicts.
To remedy the situation we wanted to, if not a miracle, at least a demigod. Indeed Solino always tells us that reigned Aristeo not far from Nora, which he founded in the Cagliari.
In the new town, destined to be the most important of Sardinia, the son of Apollo would have merged the Libyan tribes (bring on the island of Sardinia) and the Iberian (capacities from Norac): These people, although there were not accustomed to, accepted willingly his government.
But if the conflict were already there before the birth of Cagliari, the question that is Aristeo could come at a time after the arrival of the Iberians is at least legitimate. Since

here the news on the colonization of the south of Sardinia by the Iberians.

But if we talk about the center and north of the island, the matter becomes more complex, and the Iberians in comeback game.

The great naturalist Pliny the Elder, before he died of the ashes of Vesuvius, wrote that the most famous people of Sardinia were the Ilies, the Balari and courses. Of course we said, we will speak of Ilies, Balari of us have to deal with now.
Why the name too reminiscent of the Balearic Islands, intermediate between the Iberian Peninsula and Sardinia.
And what was the name of Iberian origin, or at least related to that area, there is also confirmed by Silius Italico. The poet at some point of his work speaks of Vettonia, inhabitants of Lusitania (now Portugal) and Cantabria (north-west Spain): well, he said their leader was called Balar.

But what relationship existed between the Iberians and Balari?
First, the sources seem to favor the subsequent arrival of a Balari: an arrival in historical, not mythical, in fact. When Nora was in a town of some commercial and political relations with the Carthaginians.
Yet another fragment of Sallust tells us that the courses allocated to Sardinia Balari believed the refugees' Pallantei "(whatever that means), but others were from the army or Hispanic Numidians Carthaginian.
Again Pausanias confirms (or returns?) As told by Sallust. According to him it was African or Iberian in the pay of Carthage. At some point, these mercenaries were fighting with the Phoenician city to issue its own money. So deserted and fled to the mountains of Sardinia.
seems to infer that the courses as "Balari" meant "deserter" (or perhaps "exile"), and since then the name stuck to that population.

Balari That the people were not trusted in the Roman world seems to intuit some sources: Sallust says that they were changing people's mind, shifty-eyed for fear of the allies, dark clothing. Cicerone will speak at Sardis "mastrucati," that is covered with leather.

Strabo, a geographer who lived between the first century BC and first century AD, it has a great review. It tells them that dwell in caves (a constant Sardinian home, apparently ...). He adds that even if they had some arable land, did not bother to put it to good use, rather, preferring to plunder the profits of those who worked, even coming to rob the inhabitants of the area Tuscany.

Livy tells the story of Sardinia, just conquered by the Romans. Against the new rulers, and Ilies Balari formed an alliance and attacked the "pacatam provinciam" (Pacified the province).
It was not an easy fight, and when Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus led Rome's legions in the territory Ilies, the Balari sent large reinforcements.
But Rome, for the moment, prevailed. When

then Ilies rebelled again in Rome during the Second Punic War, at the decisive moment their leader tried to recruit troops Ampsicora between Sardis Pellati. These are
Sardi mastruccati mentioned by Cicero? Balari predators?

Whatever happens, even the Ampsicora uprising ended badly, and Ilies Balari had to give up and drive the Romans.

Some small notes ...
Leaving the myth and entering the History (and disputes) can not fail to mention the famous Stele of Nora, pictured above. Written in archaic Phoenician alphabet, his translation (and interpretation) is discussed: the version of epigraphy "official" (interpretation of Moore-Cross, 1984) speaks of its settlers from Tarshish (= Tartessus?) Arriving in land of Sardi ... But the name of the leader is not alas, one of Norac: Milkaton this would be a dedication by the son of subn.
Obviously the stele, spoiled and hard to read, also has several interpretations (so much so that "son of Milkaton subn" becomes "Sb 'son Milkaton "...).
If we want to accept the theories of some "Independent researchers (STI)" the translation is virtually impossible, because, although written in Phoenician characters, the words would be speaking ... Shardana

Both scholia to Dionysius, is Eustathio confirm that the Iberians came before Heraclidae , who killed the children of quell'Eracle grandfather Norac.
But more about that in a future post.
