Iliada, de Homer.
[...]mprejurarea pe care o semnalm explic pentru ce 樽n cele mai vechi monumente ale literaturii greceti, care sunt poemele epice Iliada i Odysseia, amintirea unor evenimente petrecute 樽n mileniul al II-lea sau detalii 樽n legtur cu modul de trai al unor popula釘ii anterioare venirii dorienilor struie cu o vivacitate neobinuit. Mult vreme aceast particularitate a fost socotit ca o dovad a ne樽ntrecutei fantezii a poetului sau a poe釘ilor crora li se atribuia paternitatea celor dou opere de art. Astzi, dup
aproape un veac de explorare arheologic a bazinului egeean; dup lumina proiectat asupra principalelor episoade ale epopeei de descoperirile din Troia i Mycene, din Creta i Pylos, 樽ndoial nu poate fi asupra faptului c alturi de peripe釘ii create de imagina釘ia unui artist excep釘ional; alturi de trsturi 樽mprumuta te propriei vremi a poetului, sensibil posterioar evenimentelor c但ntate 樽n Iliada i Odysseia dinuie ecouri ale vie釘ii desfurate
樽n bazinul egeean 樽n epoca de 樽nflorire a civiliza釘iei myceniene.

C但nt, zei釘, m但nia ce-aprinse pe-Ahil Peleianul,
Patima crud ce-Aheilor mii de amaruri aduse;
Suflete multe viteze trimise pe lumea cealalt,
Trupul fc但ndu-le hran la c但ni i la feluri de psri
i 樽mplinit fu voia lui Zeus, de c但nd Agamemnon,
Craiul nscut din Atreu, i dumnezeiescul Ahile
S-au dezbinat dup cearta ce fuse-ntre d但nii iscat.
Care fu zeul ce-i puse pe ei s s-apuce de sfad?
Fiul lui Zeus i-al Letei, Apolon. n ciuda-i pe craiul,
Molim grea rsp但ndise i oastea-i pornise s piar,
Pentru c-Atrid cutezase pe preotul Hrises s-nfrunte,
C但nd cuviosul veni la corbii, 樽n tabr-ahee,
Ca s-i rscumpere fata cu-o mare mul釘ime de daruri.
C但rja de aur 釘in但nd cu podoabe de sfinte cordele,
Daru-nchinat lui Apolon, de-Ahei se ruga deopotriv,
Dar mai cu seam de-Atrizi, cele dou mai mari cpetenii:
Voi, cpetenii Atrizi i Ahei cu frumoase pulpare,
Fie ca zeii-ntrona釘i 樽n Olimp la rzboi s v-ajute
Troia uor s lua釘i i cu bine s-ajunge釘i acas!
Ci-napoia釘i-mi copila robit, primind aste daruri,
Dac v teme釘i de fiul lui Zeus, de-arcaul Apolon.
Asta vorbi, i cu to釘ii strigau, 樽nvoindu-se-Aheii
S-aib ruine de preot, primindu-i m但ndre釘ea de daruri.
Nu i-a plcut lui Atrid Agamemnon 樽ndemnul acesta,
i l-a respins fr mil pe preot cu aspr porunc:
The Underground History of American EducationSergey Oboroc

The document is an introduction to John Taylor Gatto's book "The Underground History of American Education". It discusses how the mass schooling system was intentionally designed to control human behavior and standardize society. It proposes that the idea of "mass dumbness" was artificially created to justify the schooling system. The introduction sets up Gatto's argument that will be expanded on in the book, which is that the current education system does more harm than good for children and limits their potential.

The document discusses the history of chocolate, from its origins in Mesoamerica to its spread throughout Europe. Cacao beans were first used as currency and medicine by the Olmec and Mayans. Spanish conquistadors introduced chocolate to Europe in the 16th century, where it became a popular drink among the elite. By the 19th century, chocolate had evolved into a commercial product and global commodity.
This document is an introduction to Claude Shannon's seminal 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication". It provides an overview of communication systems and introduces key concepts like discrete, continuous, and mixed systems. It also defines key terms like information source, transmitter, channel, receiver, and destination. The introduction lays the groundwork for Shannon's information theory by discussing measurement of information and choice of a logarithmic base (usually binary) to quantify information in bits.
The document is a chapter from the book "Self Help" by Samuel Smiles that discusses the concept of self-help and individualism. It argues that national progress depends on the character and industry of individuals rather than institutions or governments alone. It provides many examples throughout history of individuals from humble backgrounds who achieved great things through self-improvement, hard work, and perseverance. The chapter emphasizes that individual initiative and self-reliance are more important for human advancement than relying on external forces.

This document provides information on alien pharmacology and medications developed for human use. It discusses 12 alien medications and their classifications, effects, and applications. It also covers topics like alien psychic abilities, craft engines, Nordic physiology, alien languages, reproduction systems, and governments' views on aliens. The document appears to be notes from a scientist who studied aliens and crash sites over 33 years.
This document provides an introduction to Peter Johnston's story involving mysterious gold certificates. It summarizes that:
1) Peter Johnston deposited a gold certificate for safe keeping at Westpac Bank in London that represented 740 metric tons of gold worth $8 billion.
2) The bank manager at Westpac became uncomfortable and contacted authorities, claiming the certificate was fraudulent.
3) However, Johnston's lawyer in Australia and the manager of his local Westpac branch asserted the deal was legitimate and such transactions had been conducted before.
4) Despite this, Johnston was later charged with fraud and imprisoned for two years, though he claimed his innocence. The document outlines inconsistencies and unusual actions in the bank's response that
This document summarizes how people form pictures or images in their minds of the external world based on limited information. It provides three examples:
1) Islanders in 1914 who were unaware for 6 weeks that World War 1 had started due to lack of communication, showing how quickly situations can change from what people believe.
2) Historical figures like St. Ambrose and Cosmas who held inaccurate pictures of the world based on religious texts that prevented exploration and scientific progress.
3) How public figures throughout history have been viewed through symbolic or fictional personalities in people's minds, often far different than the real person, as seen with Queen Victoria, Lincoln, and French general Joffre who was viewed as divine by
This document provides a table of contents for a book about the author's experiences in the US Army from the 1930s-1960s. It covers topics like the Roswell UFO crash, developments in night vision technology, fiber optics, metals research, fluid amplification, transistors, integrated circuits, and psycho-chemical research. The introduction discusses how the author worked within the US military research and development community to advance technologies in partnership with private industry and universities, while having to keep certain projects secret due to policies denying the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrials.
This introduction summarizes the document "Behold a Pale Horse" by Milton William Cooper. In 3 sentences: The introduction vouches for Cooper's credibility and sincerity in exposing hidden truths. It warns that powerful groups plan the future through a grand game of chess using people as pawns. Unless Americans wake up to these hidden truths and realities, the planned outcome of destroying the American Republic and ushering in a New World Order cannot be stopped.
The document summarizes a report from a secret government commission called the Special Study Group. The Group was formed in 1963 to realistically examine what problems may arise if permanent peace was achieved and to propose solutions. It was made up of experts from various fields and met for over two years, producing a controversial report. The report concluded that lasting peace is unlikely and may not be desirable, as war fulfills important social functions. It suggested substitutes to maintain stability if war was eliminated. The Group debated publicly releasing the report but decided against it due to fears over negative public and political reaction. The author obtained a copy and published an account to spur discussion of the report's provocative arguments and assumptions.
This document provides a summary of changing images of man throughout history and proposes characteristics of an adequate and feasible new image. It discusses how images of man have evolved from early religious views to the economic, scientific, and humanistic views of today. The document argues that a new integrative, evolutionary image is needed that sees humans as complex, multi-dimensional beings within ecological and social systems. It explores how such a new image could guide society towards more positive future transformations.
This document summarizes a classified manual from 1979 that outlines a covert plan called "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars" being conducted using psychological warfare techniques. The summary describes how operations research developed during WWII was adapted by elites to develop tools to totally control society through monitoring and manipulating economic data using advanced computing technology. The goal was to predict social changes and preemptively influence society to avoid threats to existing power structures. The document warns that openly discussing such social engineering plans is tantamount to a declaration of domestic warfare against the public.
This document discusses potential future warfare trends around 2025 based on ongoing technological revolutions. Key points include: ubiquitous sensors and precision strike weapons will be cheap and available worldwide, increasing the number of potential military "peers"; logistics and large stationary assets will be vulnerable; warfare may increasingly involve robotics, information warfare, and potentially dangerous technologies like binary biological weapons if they become accessible; and defending the US homeland and logistics will become more challenging issues.
