This is one only two such books I still have, 15 years out of high school: this and Strunk and White. This is a good book to have lying around the house, not because you need it every day, but because it is a great reference for things like settling family bets and cheating on the brown questions in Trivial Pursuit. Dig it out of the boxes in your basement sometime, under the term paper from freshman comp, and have a look over it. It really is a great reference guide to ancient mythos, it's easily accessible, and well written. Generations of high school teachers can't be all THAT wrong. I don't really mind if she disses Hercules, but her gratuitous dissing of my boy Ovid really didn't win her any points.
Roman name: Venus. Aphrodite is the sweet and delicate goddess of Love, Beauty, and Romance. Even so, she often shows formidable power, as in the story of Cupid and Psyche, and is herself a principal cause of the Trojan War. In a strange twist, lovely Aphrodite is married to the ugly and crippled Hephaestus. Hermes Reid died on January 15, 1973. Both women are buried at Cove Cemetery in Hadlyme, Connecticut, [44] where Hamilton's sisters had retired, in the same cemetery as Hamilton's mother (Gertrude), maternal aunts (Alice, Norah, and Margaret), and Margaret's life partner, Clara Landsberg. [1] Hamilton's adopted son, Dorian, who had earned a degree in chemistry at Amherst College, died at West Lafayette, Indiana, in January 2008, aged 90. [46] Legacy [ edit ]Kate Kelly (2010).

The half-man, half-bull monster that terrorizes Minos’s Labyrinth. It is killed by Theseus. The Sphinx Montgomery Hamilton, a scholarly man of leisure, was one of Allen and Emerine (Holman) Hamilton's eleven children; however, only five of the siblings lived. Her father attended Princeton University and Harvard Law School and also studied in Germany. Montgomery met Gertrude Pond, the daughter of a wealthy Wall Street broker and sugar importer, while living in Germany. They were married in 1866. [6] [11] Montgomery Hamilton became a partner in a wholesale grocery business in Fort Wayne, but the partnership dissolved in 1885 and the business failure caused a financial loss for the family. [12] Afterwards, Montgomery Hamilton retreated from public life. Edith's mother, Gertrude, who loved modern literature and spoke several languages, remained socially active in the community and had "wide cultural and intellectual interests." [6] After her father's business failed, Edith realized that she would need to provide a livelihood for herself and decided to become an educator. [13]Hamilton received the National Achievement Award in 1951 as a distinguished classical scholar and author. She received the award along with Anna M. Rosenberg, Assistant Secretary of Defense. The award was created in 1930 to honor women of accomplishment and inspire others. [5]
Alice Hamilton became a resident of Chicago's Hull House, a settlement house that offered food, shelter, and educational classes as a charitable effort on the part of wealthy donors and scholars who volunteered their time.

There are two reasons this lost a star from me. The first is that Hamilton’s bias towards particular poets comes through too strongly at times and she can be quite opinionated. Opinions are great, and she often accompanies them with some interesting facts, but I feel like a little more subtlety or, on occasion, impartiality would’ve made it a little less jarring. I also like how this read includes a big overview of Norse mythology and then very briefly makes a connection to Greek Myths and how both are relevant today. Their adventures in Germany are described in Alice's autobiography. See Alice Hamilton (1985). Exploring the Dangerous Trades: the Autobiography of Alice Hamilton, M.D. Boston: Northeastern University Press. pp. 44–51. ISBN 0-930350-81-2. Signy, wronged by her husband, conceives a son with her brother Sigmund. She bides her time until the son is old enough to help Sigmund kill her husband. Signy then kills herself by walking into the fire that also consumes her husband and her other children. SigurdHallett, Judith (2015).

They are represented by a chorus, pursuing Orestes for his murder of his mother. But where does the title come from?
