카지노 게임 컬렉션œHercules on the Big and Little Screens in the 1960카지노 게임 컬렉션™S: Steven Reeves and the Mighty Hercules Cartoon카지노 게임 컬렉션
Perhaps encouraged by the success of the Hercules movies of the late 1950s and early 1960s, in 1963 a children카지노 게임 컬렉션™s cartoon series was launched on television stations across Canada and the United States staring a very 카지노 게임 컬렉션˜ripped카지노 게임 컬렉션™ Hercules, who spent each episode rescuing someone from imminent danger카지노 게임 컬렉션”including the stereotypical damsel in distress! In this paper I offer an in-depth study of the influence that the so-called 카지노 게임 컬렉션˜peplum카지노 게임 컬렉션™ movies appear to have had on the depiction of The Mighty Hercules카지노 게임 컬렉션™ namesake as well as the storylines in relation to the social concerns of the early to mid-1960s.

The Golden King: Midas of Phrygia and the Myths of Wealth in the Greek Imagination
This talk focuses on the topic of extreme wealth and the quasi-historical figure, King Midas, who ruled the Phrygians in central Anatolia during the 8th c. BCE. King Midas of Phrygia is nearly synonymous with his 카지노 게임 컬렉션˜golden touch카지노 게임 컬렉션™, and the popularity of this wealth myth surely derives from its cautionary ending: be careful of what you wish. The lesson, that with great wealth can come great difficulties, was as popular in the ancient world as it is today. Greek and Latin sources for the legends associated with King Midas range over hundreds of years: Herodotus, Aristotle, Arrian, Ovid from the Classical world. Post-Classical sources also focus on Midas, such as Chaucer, John Dryden, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, in addition to modern re-tellings of the story. All have contributed to the general impression we have of this once great and wealthy king getting what he wished for from the gods and suffering from it mightily.
A wide variety of sources on King Midas are included in this talk, including archaeological research at his capital of Gordion in central Anatolia, iconographic evidence in Greek art, literary sources of Greece and Rome, and Near Eastern texts that preserve a record of the historical figure from the late 8th century BC. It also examines similar wealthy figures in the Greek imagination.
