Story
This is the incredible true story of a Galilean stonemason who changed the course of the world forever. He lived and died over 2,000 years ago, fulfilling expectations that existed long before his birth. His birth had been mystically foretold by astrologers for hundreds of years, yet the rulers of his day dreaded his coming. This humble builder-teacher became a magnet for the poor and down trodden, a symbol of love and mercy, who transformed the lives and restored the health and purpose in all who encountered him.

Story
The roots of today's environmental catastrophe run deep into humanity's past. Through this unprecedented reading of Homer's Iliad, the award-winning classicist Edith Hall examines how this foundational text both documents the environmental practices of the ancient Greeks and betrays an awareness of the dangers posed by the destruction of the natural landscape. Underlying Homer's account of brutal military operations, alliances, and cataclysmic struggle is a palpable understanding that the direction in which humanity was headed could create a world that was uninhabitable.

Story
When most people think of ancient civilisations, a familiar handful tends to dominate the conversation: the mighty Romans, with their vast empire and stone-built legacy; the brilliant Greeks, whose philosophies still shape our thinking today; and the majestic Egyptians, architects of timeless pyramids and enduring mysteries. These towering cultures have been etched into our collective memory—and rightly so. But history is far deeper and more intricate than its greatest hits.

Story
Er valt veel te vertellen over het vrouwenleven in 1000 jaar Griekse oudheid, van Homerus tot en met Plutarchus, ondanks dat de geschriften van mannelijke auteurs onze belangrijkste bron van informatie vormen. Classicus Hein van Dolen begint zijn hoorcollege met de verhalen over de schepping van de vrouw en de redenen van de opkomende vrouwenhaat bij de antieke Griekse mannen. De positie van de vrouw zoals Homerus die heeft beschreven komt aan bod, evenals de huwelijkssluiting in de epische tijd. Wat waren hun plichten en (weinige) rechten voor en na het huwelijk?

In 2012, Steve Green, billionaire and president of Hobby Lobby, announced a purchase of a Biblical artefact—a fragment of papyrus carrying lines from Paul's letter to the Romans, and dated to the second century CE. Noted scholar Roberta Mazza was stunned. When was this piece discovered, and how could Green acquire such a rare item? The answers, which Mazza spent the next ten years uncovering, came as a shock: the fragment had come from a famous collection held at Oxford University, and its rightful owners had no idea it had been sold.

Un compendio fascinante de mitos, leyendas y realidades históricas ¿Existió la ciudad de la Atlántida? ¿Pronunció Julio César las famosas palabras «¿Tú también, hijo?», antes de morir? A veces, la narración patrimonial y literaria difiere de los hechos. Así, este libro, escrito con afán divulgativo, pretende transitar por la delgada línea roja que separa los relatos de tintes legendarios y folclóricos, y el mundo real.
