Does Rihanna Have Extensions Or Weave

MIGRATION - E tui, sesi de chine? 11

still a place of business and Iolaus Tespiadi in Sardinia, was born to tell how the mythical Sardinia.
a place where it is called the wealth, miraculous resurrections, rejuvenation, wars and beheadings.

We have seen that Iolaus was a great builder of high schools, courts and tholoi (nuraghi?) With the aid, according to some, of Daedalus. According to a current that follows
Sallustio, echoed by Pausanias, Daedalus was already in Sardinia, had come with the migration of Aristeo, but this does not mean that has subsequently worked for Iolaus.
is a fact that went: migrated to Cumae, where he built a temple to Apollo in which he told his story and the ill-fated flight of Icarus. So says Servius, so Virgil had narrated.

and the colony of Iolaus? Prospered. The usual
Diodorus tells us that Iolaus, defeated the natives, divided up the land, dividing it and improving it. The plain (Campidano?) Was still called Ioaleion Sicilian writer of our time, and Diodorus adds that Iolaus got busy in order to clear land and plant fruit trees.
Sardinia became so rich that that was his downfall. Diodorus us a clue that the island of wealth acquired such a reputation that the Carthaginians, centuries later, "for it endured many struggles and hardships." We can imagine

Iolaus, old but happy, for you to enjoy serenity his last days in his colony, thriving and famous ... but maybe not. Always
Diodorus, in fact, tells us that he returned to Greece and then, returning to the West, he stopped in Sicily. He was accompanied by some of Tespiadi, who stopped in Sicily, and were mingled with Sicani by these extraordinarily honored.

Our Iolaus would do anything to help the children of Heracles, wherever they were, and "system" in positions of prestige.
too old, or even after death (!) Iolaus was ready to give them a hand.

is said, in fact, that the wicked Eurystheus, king of Mycenae and persecutor of Heracles, after the death of attacked his children defenseless. Iolaus rushed to defend, with the help (once again) the usual Ateniesi.Pare that Eurystheus was a much cowardly: every time he gave Heracles a chore to be done and hope there will remain dry. And when the hero returned with his beautiful prize, the king of Mycenae, ran to hide safely in a pretty jar of bronze. But the sons of Heracles, in his opinion, should not be so dangerous as the father ...
But the army was defeated at Mycenae, Eurystheus and Iolaus chased and captured him, then took the prisoner to Alcmene, the mother of Heracles and asked what to do: Alcmene ordered that Iolaus was beheaded and executed the sentence.
So far nothing strange. If not that a variant Iolaus tells us that at the time was old or even dead!
The myth describes him dead in Sardinia, but as a good "sleeping under the mountain" (see notes to know what I mean!), Was resurrected just for the company ... A variation
more "rational" (and never quotes were more appropriate in this case) said that was not exactly dead, but only very old (sic). In view of the danger, Hebe, wife of Heracles and the divine goddess of youth, gave him back for a day and force youth to eliminate the enemy of the famous uncle.

that as it may, before eventually Iolaus arrived or returned to death. The honors were bestowed great: Tespiadi honored him as the progenitor, with the title of "Iolaus Father (the Pater Sardus?), Offered sacrifices to him as a god, they built the temples and recognized honors worthy of a hero. But what
Tespiadi?
not forget that some remained in Thebes
... And speaking of Thebes, Pausanias tells us that in this very city, in front of the doors Pretidi at the stadium and the gymnasium, the Thebans indicate a building like the heroon of Iolaus. The heroon is a heroic monument, which usually contained the dead body of the hero.

But Pausanias himself assures us: Theban Iolaus recognized that, Tespiadi and the Athenians that he made the migration, lay dead in Sardinia. On the island there were places called (again!) Iolaei where Iolaus was receiving honors from the inhabitants. It reinforces the concept
Solino: the Iolesi added a temple to the tomb of the hero because, similar in value to his uncle Heracles had released Sardinia for many ills that are not explained.
Tespiadi and Iolaus are perhaps the same "men sleeping in Sardinia [...] next to the heroes" of which Aristotle speaks, and behind which one can see that the rite of incubation was performed in all probability, in the Tombs of the Giants?

The fact is that the long reigned Tespiadi Sardinia. But we will speak in the next post, the last (promesso!) dedicated to the colonization of the grandsons of King Thespis.


Some small notes ...
What I mean by the "sleeping under the mountain" referring to Iolaus? Several legends tell of a king who looks dead, but actually sleeps in a place on the border with the world of the dead (usually a mountain) before returning to help his people in the moment of supreme danger. So it is said for example Arthur, but also to Frederick Barbarossa. Other versions say that Iolaus was present at the funeral pyre of Heracles: the shipment was made in Sardinia, and then, after the death of the great uncle. But mythographers that speak directly of the colony, seem to understand that Hercules was still alive when he left Iolaus. a discordant version of the end of Eurystheus said that it was Illo, the son of Heracles, and his cousin Iolaus to kill the king of Mycenae.

Is The Yellow Puffle The Gold Puffle

MIGRATION - E tui, sesi de chine? 10


In the previous post we have left open the question: what changes were made in Sardinia from Iola and his cousins \u200b\u200bTespiadi?
In these lines, to answer. Imagine being

merchants Greeks arriving in Sardinia from the sea, on any day between the early Bronze Age and Iron Age full. It 's our first time on the island, and probably our attention might not be captured by the beauty of the sea and its cleanliness: heavy pollution in the bottom is still to come to the shores of the Mediterranean.
probably coming up with a merchant ship, we will not see even a mass covered with bronze warriors wait belligerent and suspicious of our landing. But almost certainly find other merchants interested in our goods, the people interested in buying or selling, some sent by the local lord.
No, our attention will surely be drawn to the great stone towers, common on the coast and inland, so as to characterize the landscape at strategic points. Those towers are now partially survived almost exclusively within the island, with no top, no plaster, no colors that probably once made them and visible. Why did those towers, called Nuraghe, were almost certainly a place of power, which was to be seen and noticed. Threatening enemies, reassuring allies and subjects.

landed, we pass the island and discover that these towers are everywhere. As the Cyclopean walls of Tiryns and Mycenae, similar to groundwater tholoi vaulted roofs of the Achaeans, but built out of the ground. A work of immense, incredible, made with a skill and an extraordinary relationship of proportion that is not easy in the regions bordering the Great Inland Sea.
Who can be built? The lords of the island, tell us.
But who are the gentlemen who have so much power, so much wealth? And who was the architect who designed these fortresses, residences, warehouses and so on?
We are Greeks and we can not conceive that nothing extraordinary can be done by those who have greek blood in his veins.
therefore justified. Perhaps some Punic speaks of the lords of the Island as descendants of Melqart, perhaps the gentlemen define themselves sons of the great god of the West. We Greeks, wiser and more learned, we know that behind Melqart and behind many of the direction where the sun sets, it hides our great hero Heracles.
And behind the plan of those towers, there can be a long breed of craftsmen and builders who are experimenting with techniques to pass information for centuries. No one man, a greek, only he may have had the same brilliant engineering that he used to make the big building called the Labyrinth of Crete, so complex that it is impossible to go out if you do not have a guide. This genius of antiquity is Daedalus, the Athenian. This
tell our compatriots when we come back nell'Ellade: there is an island in the middle of the Western Mediterranean, inhabited by the sons of Heracles, the same Tespiadi of which tells the migration, and Daedalus built for their fabulous tholoi and gymnasiums for physical exercises, and courts, and city.

Not much else tells the myth of Tespiadi.
Diodorus tells us that after the conquest of the island, Iolaus, son of quell'Ificle who was brother of Heracles, divided up the territory in order to develop agriculture, founded cities, built gymnasiums, temples, and "everything that makes life happy of men. " Named after the most beautiful head of the plains were called "Iolaee" until the time of Diodorus (90 BC), and always in honor of the son of Iphicles, the mix between Tespiadi, Greek colonists and former residents dell'isola, prese il nome di Iolaei: i tespiadi, infatti, onoravano Iolao come se fosse un padre.
In un altro punto, sempre Diodoro ci aggiunge che Iolao non ideò tutto personalmente, ma mandò a chiamare dalla Sicilia l'architetto Dedalo che, come abbiamo visto , dopo aver causato la morte di Minosse, aveva bisogno di "cambiare aria". E gli edifici esistevano ancora all'epoca di Diodoro, ed erano chiamati "Daidaleia" dal loro ideatore.

Come detto per Diodoro durante la spedizione Iolao fondò anche importanti città. Ma quali?
Pomponio Mela ci riferisce che tra gli abitanti più antichi dell'isola c'erano gli Iliensi (forse una versione degli Iolaei), and that there were among the first cities Karalis and Sulci. The synthetic pitch, perhaps suggesting that the two main cities of the island were somehow related to Iolaus and his Iolaei \\ Iliensi. But we know that
Karalis, in other versions, is the foundation of Aristeo , and also Nora Norac foundation, it must have been already built at the time of Iolaus. If Karalis not be attributed to him, was the foundation of Sulci Iolaus? Or, simply, we want to draw too much from the string passed by Pomponio, who just wants to designate two types of antiques (and the people of the two cities), but without wanting to establish a link between the two?
The other authors are not helpful. Diodorus, we have seen, is generic.
Pausanias is not clear, and indeed even move the focus from the south (the "boss below") to the north (the "head on"). For him, in fact, foundations were two urban under Tespiadi: Olbia Ogrille and built by the Athenians to the expedition in honor of one of them, called Ogrillo.
Solino, author of the third century AD, it remains the foundation of Olbia by Iolaus, but adds that the hero he founded "other Greek cities." But what?
In conclusion we sense that the true urban myth of Sardinia, more or less systematic, can be traced back to Iolaus and Tespiadi: they founded Olbia and "other cities", but it is not impossible to know for sure which ones.

Among the buildings, in addition to "tholoi" and the courts, the authors reminded the gymnasiums, gyms typically Greek. We remember them with others Diodorus buildings, but other authors give us some more information. A comment
ode of Pindar shows an earlier comment made by admin. Yes, that's the writer who inspired the "Didymus Cleric 'to Foscolo. Didymus would say that at Thebes, in the gymnasium of Iolaus, the Heraclidae races held in memory of Amphitryon, the putative father of Heracles. Iolaus himself did on those occasions in honor of the funeral of a distant person but "in reality the memory of Iolaus had turned to Sardinia.
What does this passage cited by a commentator to comment?
seems to intuit, along with other information we have, that the cult of heroic Iolaus was linked to sports. And this is not strange: the funeral games in honor of a famous person were the norm in the heroic world. But we can go to say that the races were a characteristic of Iola, and for this reason the authors emphasize the presence in Sardinia of high schools created by the son of Iphicles? After all, we must not forget that in the first edition of the Olympics and then in the games in honor of Pelias, Iolaus was the winner of the most prestigious race, the race with the cart.

Our world traveler Pausanias, speaking of Thebes, referred to as the city stands a gymnasium and a stadium, before the doors Pretidi. There, according to the Thebans, was the heroon of Iolaus. In short, the tomb of heroic Iolaus was once again tied to sporting events. Yet the same
Thebans, according to Pausanias, acknowledged that the real tomb of Iolaus, the Tespiadi and the Athenians went with them, were in Sardinia.
At this point it will be necessary to tell what happened to our characters after the great period of colonization.
I'll tell in the next post.
