Hardback. Zustand: Good. Who created the Odyssey and the Iliad? A portrait of the poet and the world. Scholar Andrew Dalby delves into the world that first heard the Odyssey and the Iliad, and asks new questions about the poet named Homer. Dalby follows the growth of the legend of Troy from its kernel of historical truth, and retraces the succession of singers who re-created the unforgettable story for generations of audiences. He asks why the two great epics at last crossed the frontier from song to writing, and how this astonishing transformation from the singer's mouth to the goatskin page was achieved. A gifted detective of the classical world, Dalby finds new approaches to the personality of Homer, showing how the earliest evidence has been misread. He makes a powerful case that both poems are the work of a single poet and comes to an ultimate conclusion that will surprise even serious classical scholars: Homer was most likely a woman.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This is the life story of the wine god Bacchus-seducer, magician, and merrymaker-as never told before. Tales of his bizarre birth from a womb fashioned in his father Zeus's thigh led to even stranger stories, passed down through generations of dramatists, poets, storytellers, and historians. Bacchus is best remembered, however, for his gift of wine to humanity. With it he brought not only pleasure but also savagery and death. Pentheus, for example, was torn apart at the hands of his own mother and her fellow Maenads in the midst of a Bacchic frenzy. In this highly enjoyable biography, Andrew Dalby weaves together these and other intriguing episodes from Bacchus's life-from his youth spent on Mount Nysa among nymphs and satyrs to his relentless pursuit by the goddess Hera to Bacchus's many amorous exploits-bringing the wild and powerful wine god to life. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Sozialpadagogik / Sozialarbeit, Note: 1,7, Universitat Luneburg (Sozialpadagogik), Veranstaltung: Zum Verhaltnis von Wissen und Konnen in der Sozialpadagogik, 15 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Wahrend in den 50er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts der wirtschaftliche Erfolg und damit verbundene Reichtum zu einem im internationalen Vergleich sehr guten System sozialer Sicherung fuhrte, ist die heutige Tendenz der sozialpolitische Ruckzug des Staates. Als Ursache hierfur konnen die Olkrise und erste Rationalisierungstendenzen in den 1970er Jahren genannt werden. Verscharft wurden die Rationalisierungstendenzen durch das zunehmende Problem der Massen- und Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit (Schneider 1996, S. 174). Es entwickelte sich ein neues Leitmotiv der Politik: Verzicht und die damit einhergehende Favorisierung von Privatheit und Eigenvorsorge sowie die Idealisierung des Leistungsideals(ebd., S. 175). Leistung wurde zur moralischen Grosse, zur Voraussetzung fur den Anspruch auf soziale Gerechtigkeit, d.h. ohne Leistung (ohne Arbeit) keine soziale Gerechtigkeit und keine sozialen Leistungen (ebd., S. 181). Die Sozialpolitik ist in diesen Zeiten die Fortschreibung uberkommener Strukturen und Haushaltspositionen," innerhalb der soziale Probleme auf haushaltspolitische Aspekte verkurzt werden und auf politisch aktive Gestaltung verzichtet wird (ebd., S. 176).

Es gilt das Motto: Fordern und fordern ," wobei man sich nach Butterwegge nicht darum bemuht, die Chancen von sozial Benachteiligten zu verbessern (ebd., S. 594), so dass neue Ungerechtigkeiten entstehen (Opielka 2003, S. 545).
