How Long Dilation In Cataract Surgery

MIGRATION - E tui, sesi de chine? 9



After a long pause due to more or less pagan holidays, we resume the narrative of the myths that speak of the arrival of the first inhabitants of Sardinia.
We had stopped in the middle of a consignment of Tespiadi , the sons of Heracles, and from there again. The arrival of

Tespiadi poses certain problems: Who were the members of the expedition? What were the relations with the natives? As it became the island on their arrival? Let's start

composition of the new shipment of colonization. As we said
, from love of the great labors Hercules were born 50 children from 50 daughters of king of Thespis Thespis . Good: 40 of these children were sent from father to Sardinia to form a colony. An oracle would have ordered the hero Heracles and was glad to obey.
In their guide was the most faithful cousin Iolaus , the favorite nephew of Heracles.

In fact, drains (comments) to Dionysus give us a version that sees even Hercules himself to lead the expedition. The hero would be able to unify into a single people, children and Sardis, and then would send reinforcements from Greece. This second wave included the
Cadmeans (ie inhabitants of the Theban citadel of the city), and the Etoli Locresi . In short, with Heracles would leave the cream of the nations of Central Greece. The usual
Pausanias, the author of our tour guides, the Athenians also adds to the migrants. On the contrary: for him the expedition left its Act.

it went how it went, every nation had united to this wave of immigration, it was a set of composite people. However, once you are in Sardinia, the various facets of P disappear under the general heading of Iole. And since
this name for mythographers is linked to the name of Iolaus, we will follow the mainstream of the tradition that sees Iolaus just as the guide of the expedition, and not the more famous uncle. According to Diodorus the

Tespiadi were led by Iolaus for various reasons: Tespiadi were very young (even though they left when they had already reached manhood), and this command was a kind of reward Iolaus , who had participated in almost all businesses of Hercules

The expedition arrived in Sardinia, apparently without much difficulty. But, as told, the island was not an empty land: various waves of migration had preceded the tespiadi .
What were the relations between Heraclidae \\ Tespiadi and the previous inhabitants?

According to the version seen before, due to the drains Dionysus, Heracles peacefully Sardis and the newcomers.
The trend that indicates that a leader of the expedition was Iolaus, instead it divides into two branches: the first talks about a merger with the natives that appears peaceful, consistent with what he says the scholiast of Dionysus , but the second one deals with war.
The first branch of the tradition is followed by Strabo : the greek geographer tells us that generically Tespiadi "lived together with the Barbarians who then occupied the island" (remember that for Strabo these former inhabitants were Tirreni). So even Solino: the author of the third century AD Iolaus obtained "with enticements that divided the minds of the people we come to harmony" and then proceeded to the founding of the city. But the Sicilians

Diodorus sees it differently: first Iolaus arrived with "a large army of Greeks and Barbarians," and then explains that the colonization occurred only after Iolaus "won Indigenous in battle "in another passage that reiterates Iolaus " conquered the island. " The appearance is not belligerent
negligible: the foundation the colony was, for the ancient, an act of of a land claim. We have already seen d and migrants "return" to the lands of their ancestors, claiming possession.
Dionysus recalls that, in the wake of his expeditions to the West during some of his legendary labors (especially those in search of the Hesperides Pomi and oxen of Geryon ), Heracles considered that it should be considered the Lord of all the 'West. Sending children must have seemed a sort of "division of the paternal heritage" in advance.

The arrival of these children of Greek Heracles was so peaceful or not? Remaining in the context of pure myth, without going into complicated (and debated) scientific interpretations of scholars, the answer can not be definitive.
But we can remember that Diodorus Siculus, as well as an author be oldest Stabon Solino and was, in fact, a native of Sicily. In addition to physical proximity to Sardinia (which hypothetically to the vrebbe could allow an investigation of possible personal "territory"), had access to writings dating back to the Carthaginian, who then had different versions from the most pro-Roman grecizzanti and later. But anyway

has played the arrival of the shipment, all mythographers agree with the "after": The island was conquered by Iolaus, reorganized, and reached a development never seen before.
disappeared (almost all) the previous names of peoples: the new people that was formed from the union between the Greek settlers and earlier inhabitants took the name of yawl (or rather: Iolaei ) from Iolaus. Or Iolesi , says Solino. Or Iliensi , similar name, but also due to a different etymology, equally fascinating , of \u200b\u200bwhich more later. For now

this is enough: the colony was stable, the population was melting. Iolaus wanted to turn Sardinia, her leap "forward." And this brings us to the third of the questions we asked at the beginning of this post.
But the answer the next time we'll see.


Some small notes ...
If Tespiadi were only 50 and 40 of them went to Sardinia, which happened to the other 10? Apollodorus tells us that seven remained with Hercules to Calydon, and three were sent back to Thebes, the birthplace (in one version) of the glorious father.
The numbers do not match in Diodorus Sicilian: he says that only two were returned to Thebes, and that the other parties with Iolaus. but one more or one less, the substance does not change that much ...

Best Thing To Put On After A Brazillian

variously MYTHICAL



returning from pagan festivals dedicated to the birth of Sol Invictus, before we begin the narration of the events of Iolaus and Tespiadi in the colonization of Sardinia, step on the newsstands. And I see
"Mythos," the new collection's files D .
Obviously I can only buy the first issue and see if I have, alas, open a mutual initiative to follow potentially interesting.

The starting price is me uncomfortably higher: 2.99 € for the first issue, instead of the usual 1.99. Will the crisis, I think, because the successive numbers are part of a more "traditional" price of € 10.99 per issue.
However, the newsagent did not even bother to say "I'm sorry, I do not have one hundredth of a rest," (default answer: "Do not worry"). Yes, I would say that there is a crisis, and that at this point we could also put an end to the hypocrisy of the advertising € X, 99 (have you noticed how some 'time ago it was not X, but X 99, 90? Always crisis ...).

The scheme of the work is almost a classic gadget + file (in this case hand-painted miniature monsters, gods and heroes).
The first thumbnail (the Minotaur) little to say: nice, well made, weighing the right time.
But since my bookshelves are overflowing and that (yet another) alas, I no longer battles with toy soldiers for a time, can not be towing the thumbnail for my next purchase.

then I open the file: you start with several statements of the author of (beautiful) picture from which he is the miniature, and we sense that his drawings and the miniature was considered the strong point of the work.
So a new story on the "monster" in question, the author said neither the beginning nor the end (it is located in a total credit of the series, and This does not bode well for its own benefit). The story is not much: "The House of Asterion" by Borges, of course, cost too much in royalties.

Then there is the "Inside the myth": the usual social news spread, some genealogical chart, the usual layout "attractive" to the Focus. The content is more or less what you can find in our post ... and the next in the series.

The last section, "Beyond the Myth": A string page where you give notice of succssive readings and links are also a bit 'risky. Okay the "double labyrinth of Shining as the heir to that of Crete, but see" Alien "a follower of our show, it seems a bit 'too much. Much better

another booklet: the genealogical chart "global" is hanging from Hesiod's Theogony (soon to be hung) to the wall. Bonus only for the first issue, we are told.

the remainder of the first output is substantially complete with advertising material that glorifies subscription to fixed price, with discount on second \\ third exit and must be read from table (plastic?) For free.
already seen everything.

What to say?
The work is certainly popular, but a popular mid-level low. In short, for those who have vaguely heard of the Minotaur (or Neptune \\ Poseidon, or Medusa), and I want to take the news more simple and straightforward. Graphics in standard and now has spread (box, with annotated text images, etc..), But I believe that sometimes confuses rather than clarifies.
The price is set up similar works, but the relationship quality and price for those who "want a little 'more' is very unattractive.

I, at least, I avoided a new mortgage.

Local Gay Hookup Places North Nj

MIGRATION - E tui, sesi de chine? 8



In previous bet (just to give a tone to our soap opera story) we talked about the erotic source Tespiadi. But the forty children of Heracles who came to colonize Sardinia were not alone.
They were accompanied by a hero who is not among the most famous, because, ahilui!, Often found himself a champion of the shoulder: the shoulder or just amateur quell'Eracle infinite capacity (which we hope has remained Sardinian heritage his descendants ... even today).

The hero Iolaus, son of Iphicles, the brother of Heracles himself. In

parody that makes Sam Raimi in the TV series "Hercules," one of the recurring gag is that everyone knows Hercules \\ Hercules, Iolaus and nobody remembers.
Yet there is no episode in which the expressionless Kevin Sorbo (Hercules, in fact) is joined by his equally curly-haired companion blank (the actor Michael Hurst).
In "reality" of the myth, Iolaus does not appear immediately. It could not be otherwise: Heracles and Iphicles were twins (although Iphicles was mortal and divine Heracles). So we had to wait for the least gifted of the two erotically (Iphicles, in fact) to reach the right age to be able to generate as much as the nephew of his uncle's daughter along with Automedusa Alcatoo.

Iolaus's career, however, was not entirely secondary. His main occupation was the charioteer of Heracles, but even in this seemingly secondary role, the young hero was able to stand out. According to myth, in fact, it was Iolaus the first winner of the race on the cart to the first Olympics of the mythical history. And the good Iolaus gave an encore in the specialty to the next games in honor of the late Pelias.

During the 12 labors of his uncle, Iolaus earned everlasting fame. Without him, for example, Heracles could never defeat the Hydra of Lerna: the story goes that every time Hercules beheaded a monster's head, neck cut two heads sticking out just as deadly!
intervened at this point just Iolaus: As soon as my uncle was cutting a head, now the nephew burned the wound with a glowing ember, thus preventing the miraculous rebirth. A whole forest was burnt, and is considered worthy of reproach those who think that the bad habit of Iolaus went to Sardi current fires.

Among the other companies 'minor' next to his uncle, took part in the campaign against Troy Iolaus, Heracles helped to lift the arms to Cycnus died, went to the Far West when confronted Heracles Geryon to steal his great herds participated in the expedition the Argonauts.

confidence in the nephew of Heracles was immense. Even when the demigod divorced his first wife Megara, he married the former wife to his nephew. The unlikely pair Iolaus \\ Megara had a daughter, Leipefile, a name which seems to mean "Love for the Abandoned" (Or, more properly, "for those who had left the tribe" ... but here you will enter into discussions on the matriarchy:-P). Some malignant
said that between Hercules and Iolaus was a loving relationship. On the contrary: that Iolaus was the love of many heroes of Greek mythology.

In any case, Uncle Iolaus repaid with loyalty and following it during the exile imposed upon Heracles by Eurystheus jealous.
So there are just so strange that he gave Heracles the task of bringing in Sardinia most Tespiadi, although it is disputed whether this was before or after the death of Heracles.
In this regard, among other things, we must not forget one important fact: Some versions see Philoctetes as the one who lit the funeral pyre of Heracles, like they say it was just THERE Iolaus ritualistic. The pyre burnt all residues from the mortal body of Hercules, thus allowing it to ascend to heaven as a god.

After the death of his uncle, Iolaus did not stop to help his cousins, the Heraclidae. According to one version, as mentioned, some of them brought to Sardinia at that time. According
other hand, returned to Greece from Sardinia when he learned that the remaining Heraclidae were threatened by Eurystheus.
Here are more hyperbolic versions of the other. The first says that Iolaus was already old when you are ready to meet Eurystheus; he also was not a young man, because it was a few days older than Hercules! But Zeus and Hebe, the divine wife of Heracles, returned for one day the youth and strength in Iola, in Modoc eh could better address the decisive battle. According to other
mythographers, Iolaus was even dead! But Heraclidae needed him, so the resurrected hero.
was how it was, Iolaus Eurystheus confronted and killed him. Then he returned to his grave (or his old age), but was revered in Sardinia for a long time.

How and why this happened, we will say in the next post.

Some small notes ...
That Iolaus participated in the expedition against Geryon and the theft of Pomi the Garden of the Hesperides, it is not surprising. It is likely that the figure of Iolaus is also merged with the figure of a hero "Western" and that Geryon is the Hesperides are connected to the West and away the most part unknown to the Greeks.
not forget that Geryon had a daughter who Eriz, merged with Mercury \\ Hermes, father of Norac, a predecessor of tespiadi in the colonization of Sardinia (and if you do not remember the events of Norac, click here! ).
Depending on the model or Tartessus Geryon ruled over the island of Eriz but not named by his daughter, but the wife of Geryon, one of the Hesperides, daughters of Atlas: the Garden of the Hesperides think it was right next to the island.

Skin Rash That Look Like Scratches

MIGRATION - E tui, sesi de chine? 7



has finally arrived in Sardinia the real bigwig colonization legendary. Or those intended to give continuity to their migration. Because if
Aristeo was a big myth, the island had only a "hit and run." (If you missed the arrival of agriculture, herding, and whatever else the city in Sardinia click here!).

The bigwig were many, were the amazing results of a sexual record which was ever seen in Greece (and the world), were recommended by dad Heracles, and were accompanied by a hero who was destined to battle for the last resurrection (or at least a miraculous rejuvenation). It came to stay. They were
Tespiadi, the sons of Heracles born to a marathon of sex, and was with them Iolaus, the favorite nephew of the greatest hero of Greece.
Their story is told by pretty well, as the Sardinians should descend from them ...

narrates the myth that Hercules was on a trip to Greece, during one of his companies. Specifically it says that, at eighteen, his first company "public" was hunting a lion which infested the Monte Cicero at Thebes. The hunt was not easy for the still young hero, and Hercules decided to put his camp in the nearby town of Tempe. Here resided Thespis, the son of an Athenian king Erechtheus, who had gone to found this city in Boeotia.
Heracles was young, but not unknown: it was rumored that already was the son of Zeus, and the fact that he strangled two snakes threatening, when he was still in the cradle, seemed to substantiate this rumor.
seemed destined for a glorious future (self-fulfilling prophecy, for that matter) and the ambitious Thespis decided to intermarry with him. The concept of "reputation for integrity of the daughters" do not worth with the being-in-law of Zeus.
Thespis is said that he had 50 daughters, all born according to the version by his wife Megamedia or by various concubines. Thespis is said King suffered a helpful and generous host. Fatigue hero who was returning after a day's shooting, offered food, wine, a bed ... and daughters. Heracles, who did not shun any of the pleasures of the flesh, he said no.

versions are different. Some say that the hunt lasted 50 days and 50 nights for a different Thespis daughter ended up in bed with Heracles. Some say that the hero was too tired from the chase, and then Heracles (which often does not shine for insight in the myths) does not recognize that the girl was different every night. But the blow never failed, if I may say so ...
Some say that the hunt lasted seven days. Here Hercules is not confused at all: despite the tiredness seven girls per night (eight special night) were filled for his tireless attention. Finally there are those who exaggerate
: irrespective of the duration of the hunt, in a single night Heracles possessed all the fifty daughters of Thespis, we do not know if in one big (forgive the expression) or stacked one after another. Faced with this challenge, maybe even John Holmes and Rocco Siffredi have dreamed (or shaken).

Regardless of the number for lovers of night, however, all the girls conceived a child by Heracles. Imagine that, nine months later, the palace of Thespis was in full activity and agitation. All the girls give birth to male children, of course (Heracles in his life would have generated only males, except one daughter), and in fact: the biggest and the smallest of the daughters of Thespis gave birth to twins. Thespis
could not be more proud. Children grew up and probably showed them all as a sign of divine favor.
the king's friendship with Heracles lasted over time: It is said that after he purged the hero, in a fit of madness sent by the jealous stepmother Hera, Heracles killed children who had to Megara.

Then one day, when her grandchildren were old enough to Thespis, the king asked his son what destiny awaits the boys: Heracles, now famous, two were allowed to reside in Thebes, seven remained in Thespis, and all other parties to the Sardinia, to colonize the island.
The forty settlers would be driven by Iolaus, the favorite nephew of Heracles, but this hero talk in the next post.

Some small notes ...
The fifty children are a must mythology. The number is the basis for a perfect number as 100 (50 +50 sons or daughters, wives or spouses = 100 in all).
We already know the 50 daughters of Danaus terrible and unfair to tie the wedding with the 50 cousins, all children of Egypt, but 50 are the Nereids of the sea and 50 daughters of Nereus will be the sons of Priam.
