  The Shield of Heracles

  Hesiod

  The Shield of Heracles is an archaic Greek epic poem that was attributed to Hesiod during antiquity. The subject of the poem is the expedition of Heracles and Iolaus against Cycnus, the son of Ares, who challenged Heracles to combat as Heracles was passing through Thessaly.It has been suggested that this epic may reflect anti-Thessalian feeling after the First Sacred War (595–585 BCE): in the epic, a Thessalian hero interfering with the Phocian sanctuary is killed by a Boeotian hero (Heracles), whose mortal father Amphitryon had for allies Locrians and Phocians. This was a pastiche made to be sung at a Boeotian festival at midsummer at the hottest time of the dogstar Sirios.To serve as an introduction, fifty-six lines have been taken from the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women. The late 3rd- and early 2nd-century BCE critic Aristophanes of Byzantium, who considered the Catalogue to be the work of Hesiod, noted the borrowing, which led him to suspect that the Shield was spurious.

  In this captivating memoir, Stanley unflinchingly shares his tumultuous experience as an international graduate student in the American Midwest. His narrative weaved through a labyrinth of unexpected trials, crises, and cultural clashes as he grappled with the perplexing healthcare system, the haunting justice system, the intimidating immigration maze, and the bureaucratic intricacies of academia. 
  Through his triangular interactions with two “elite” students, he not only rectified his understanding of mainstream American culture but also delved into the depths of human relationships. The multi-layered emotional turmoil Stanley endured as he confronted the “devil” within and outside, mixed with the benevolence and insights he received from peers and fellows, resulted in his transcendence of the original “American dream.” 
  Along this journey, Stanley invites readers to reflect on universal themes of identity, resilience, mental health, and spiritual growth. 
  Fantastic and uncompromising expression of what it means to be an immigrant to the US today. Essential reading for anyone considering immigrating or who has already immigrated and finding it unexpectedly difficult to assimilate into US culture. As a third culture kid and hidden immigrant, I wish I’d had this book decades ago. Its insights would have saved me years of heartbreak, loss and sorrow. — Andrew Indahl, civil rights attorney, UCLA graduate 
  In a land where the coffee is strong and the health insurance is weak, the author navigates friendships like a tightrope walker — balancing between cultural faux pas and the fear of being misunderstood. Love was a puzzle with missing pieces, and every legal form felt like an existential riddle. Yet, through each cringing trial, he discovers that the quirks of human behavior are the threads that weave us all together, regardless of the results. — Alfred Olivas, STEAM Education Consultant, former expat in Asia

  Advocate discusses the travails of prominent politicians and other well-known individuals, focusing particularly on high-profile congressional and other investigations.

  Much more than a memoir from a seasoned lawyer, Advocate is a richly detailed history of some of the most sensational and controversial events in Washington politics over the past fifty years. By sharing information and insights known only to him, Hamilton fills in the gaps of historical events while advising the public on lessons that can be learned from the past. Anyone interested in the uniquely American intermingling of law and politics will find this an engaging book.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  What if your disability was not seen as a condition… but as a consequence? 
  In this searing and sacred testimony, Jorge Madera — a disabled, bilingual author writing from his wheelchair — confronts the silent judgment that surrounds disability in religious, social, and family systems. 
  Told in bold, poetic, and uncompromising chapters, Crippled by Karma — or by People? is not a theology book. 
  It is lived pain. 
  It is a scar turned into scripture. 
  It is a fire that refused to go out, even after silence tried to extinguish it. 
  From nuns who judged instead of healing, 
  to prophets who mistook pain for punishment, 
  to families who spiritualized their abandonment — 
  this audiobook dares to say what most are afraid to admit: 
  Disability is not karma. 
  It is not divine accounting. 
  And those who preach otherwise are not speaking for God. 
  Whether you have been judged, discarded, or called a warning, this book is for you. 
  Written from the wheelchair. 
  Still burning in truth. 
  Still not asking for permission. 
  Narrated in the voice of Adam, through artificial intelligence, to ensure accessibility and faithful delivery.
