The Light of Islam
There are many works in Uzbek literature related to the history of Islam. In particular, there are many works about the tragic death of Imam Hassan and Imam Hussein, which are also known as the tragedy of Kerbela. Among them, in Uzbek literature there are many stories like ‘Karbalonoma’ by Uvaysi, ‘Kissai Imam Hassan va Imam Husayn’ and ‘Kissai Carbalo’ by Khalis Tashkandi, ‘Ravzat ush-shuhada’ by Sabir Saykali, the epics Niso and Khoni, and folk books like ‘ Musibatnomai Turki’,’ Imam Hassan and Imam Husayn’ and ‘Kissai Imam Husayn’. The article describes the artistic features of the folk book ‘Musibatnomai …
& One Night The World Will Have Changed, Hanna Andrews
& One Night The World Will Have Changed, Hanna Andrews
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
& One Night the World Will Have Changed is a collection of poems largely concerned with thresholds—what does one have to reconcile when standing at a precipice, when grappling with a crisis of faith, and how does one begin again? The collection is marked by three distinct sections: the first section of poems considers the effects of a devastating storm along with the emotional upheaval of abandonment (both the act of having been left, and then later, of leaving behind one life for a different one.) The second section is a series of prose poems that narrate the aftermath in …
Cynic And Epicurean Parrhesia In Horace's Epodes 5 & 6: Appropriating A Parallel Philosophical Debate For Poetic Purposes, Kent Klymenko
Cynic And Epicurean Parrhesia In Horace's Epodes 5 & 6: Appropriating A Parallel Philosophical Debate For Poetic Purposes, Kent Klymenko
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Within Horace's fifth and sixth Epodes there is a juxtaposition of canine imagery. This imagery parallels two different interpretations of the philosophical concept of parrhesia or frank speech. Horace examines the parrhesia of Cynicism and contrasts it with the parrhesia of Epicureanism. After establishing Horace's philosophical influences, I engage in a close reading of the two poems through the lens of these competing philosophical interpretations of the same concept. I make the argument that Horace is using his knowledge of philosophy to make a larger poetic point. Although Horace's own stance on parrhesia favors Epicureanism, to the extent that one …

The Truth About Parmenides' Doxa, Christopher Kurfess
The Truth About Parmenides' Doxa, Christopher Kurfess
Ancient Greek and Roman Studies Faculty Publications
In a recent article in this journal, Néstor-Luis Cordero has offered an interesting account of how scholars may have been misreading Parmenides' poem for centuries, as well as some provocative suggestions on how to correct that misreading. He calls into question the prevalent notion of the Doxa as Parmenides' account of the phenomenal world, and he challenges the standard arrangement of the fragments that assigns lines featuring 'physical' topics to that portion of the poem. The 'Doxa of Parmenides', if that phrase is understood to imply that Parmenides himself embraced doxai of any kind is, Cordero claims, an imaginary …
Iambic Metapoetics In Horace, Epodes 8 And 12, Erika Zimmerman Damer
Iambic Metapoetics In Horace, Epodes 8 And 12, Erika Zimmerman Damer
Classical Studies Faculty Publications
When in Book 1 of his Epistles Horace reflects back upon the beginning of his career in lyric poetry, he celebrates his adaptation of Archilochean iambos to the Latin language. He further states that while he followed the meter and spirit of Archilochus, his own iambi did not follow the matter and attacking words that drove the daughters of Lycambes to commit suicide (Epist. 1.19.23–5, 31).1 The paired erotic invectives, Epodes 8 and 12, however, thematize the poet’s sexual impotence and his disgust during encounters with a repulsive sexual partner. The tone of these Epodes is unmistakably that of …

"Persephone's Contemporary Dilemma: Consent, Sexuality, And "Female Empowerment." [2015], Cassandra Elizabeth Cerjanic
Master's Theses
Greek mythology never strays very far from Western imagination. Though every few years literature involving the infamous Gods tapers off into the back of our collective minds, a resurgence soon follows. The late Romantic literary movement (as popularized by Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelly, and John Keats) depended heavily upon Greco- Roman mythology to help illustrate characters that existed somewhere between the shadow of imagination and the truth of humanity. Perhaps in an attempt to harken back to Romanticism, contemporary poetry has once again given life to the Greek Gods. Mythological characters can be seen throughout the works of modern …
The Practice And Benefit Of Applying Digital Markup In Preserving Texts And Creating Digital Editions: A Poetical Analysis Of A Blank-Verse Translation Of Virgil's Aeneid, William Dorner
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Numerous examples of the "digital scholarly edition" exist online, and the genre is thriving in terms of interdisciplinary interest as well as support granted by funding agencies. Some editions are dedicated to the collection and representation of the life's work of a single author, others to mass digitization and preservation of centuries' worth of texts. Very few of these examples, however, approach the task of in-text interpretation through visualization. This project describes an approach to digital representation and investigates its potential benefit to scholars of various disciplines. It presents both a digital edition as well as a framework of justification …

Prometheus's Role Of The Poet, Sarah M. Connelly
Prometheus's Role Of The Poet, Sarah M. Connelly
Student Publications
This essay examines the characterization of Prometheus in the opening speech of Prometheus Unbound, by Percy Shelley, through the lens of Shelley’s “Defense of Poetry” in order to argue Prometheus’ existence as a poet. By giving humanity wisdom and bridging the gap between logic and compassion, Prometheus becomes the point from which imagination, beauty, art, and poetry stems. Prometheus’ role developed into a model of morality and love in contrast to the fear and spite of Zeus, whose influence is reflected in the evils of mankind. Yet, through the torturous reign of Zeus, Prometheus transcends his hate by retracting his …
Homer, Pietas, And The Cycle Of Duels In Aeneid 10 And 12, Randall Colaizzi
Homer, Pietas, And The Cycle Of Duels In Aeneid 10 And 12, Randall Colaizzi
Classics & Religious Studies Faculty Publication Series
Readers who encounter the Aeneid today often face an abridgement meant to fit the demands of a college literature survey: Troy, anderings, Dido, the Underworld-the exotic Odyssean Aeneid of the first six books. The poem's second half, if read at all, might offer only scenes from book 8 (etiology and shield), Nisus and Euryalus from book 9, sometimes Camilla in book 11, Turnus's death at the end of the poem. But since the first cut in such selections usually includes most of the warfare, Vergil's subtlety (and difficulty) can be misunderstood, especially if the poem's close is to be considered. …
Phantastes Chapter 17/18: Exotics, Heinrich Heine
Phantastes Chapter 17/18: Exotics, Heinrich Heine
German Romantic and Other Influences
Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) was a German poet whose poetry has a strong political focus. MacDonald includes several translations from Heine in Exotics (pp. 154-165), his book of translations from German and Italian poets (1876). The poems he includes resonate nicely with Phantastes.
