The Goddesses of Olympus - The...

Odessa Nightshade

Greek mythology is filled with powerful deities, but the goddesses of Olympus stand out as figures of immense influence, embodying wisdom, love, war, motherhood, and the natural world. Unlike many other ancient pantheons, the Greek goddesses were not merely passive consorts to male gods; they held dominion over vast aspects of life and fate, shaping the world alongside their male counterparts. Their myths reveal complex personalities, often showcasing both nurturing and vengeful qualities, making them among the most dynamic figures in classical mythology.
The Olympian goddesses played a crucial role in the religious and cultural life of the ancient Greeks. Each goddess had her own temples, festivals, and priestesses, emphasizing her importance in daily worship and ritual practice. For example, Athena’s grand temple, the Parthenon, dominated Athens, reflecting her status as the city’s protector. Similarly, Demeter’s worship at Eleusis was central to agricultural and spiritual life, demonstrating the deep connection between divine power and human existence. These deities were not merely symbols; they were revered beings believed to influence everything from war strategies to the fertility of the land.
Beyond religion, Greek goddesses also played a major role in storytelling, appearing in epic poetry, drama, and philosophy. Figures like Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite were central to the Trojan War myth, while Persephone’s descent into the underworld explained the changing of the seasons. Their myths often reflected the Greeks’ views on power, femininity, and morality. Unlike the rigid roles imposed on mortal women, the goddesses possessed a wide range of attributes, from Artemis’s independence and warrior spirit to Hestia’s quiet but essential presence as the guardian of the home. Through these divine narratives, the Greeks explored themes of justice, fate, love, and revenge, using their goddesses as symbols of both order and chaos.

Leaving Nothing to Chance -...

Carl Knight

The most influential theory of distributive equality to have emerged since John Rawls's justice as fairness is luck egalitarianism, which aims to neutralize the distributive effects of luck. The standard form, brute-luck egalitarianism, advanced by Richard Arneson, G. A. Cohen, and Ronald Dworkin, allows the unequal consequences of option luck (the results of deliberate gambles) to stand while neutralizing the unequal consequences of brute luck (the results of unchosen risk). Luck egalitarians have responded by moderating their view, and even in some cases by accepting the core of relational egalitarianism, which is now in the ascendency.Leaving Nothing to Chance reverses this retreat from luck egalitarianism, presenting a bold new theory of equality that overcomes criticism of luck egalitarianism by reinterpreting and strengthening its core commitment to equalizing the effects of luck. The book further pursues the goal of luck neutralization by opening or "greying" the black box of responsibility, rejecting personal identity in favor of a thin account of what matters for prudence and responsibility, and defending a moral rather than prudential account of the value of choice. Leaving Nothing to Chance shows that the problems of brute-luck egalitarianism's partial luck neutralization can instead be overcome by fully neutralizing luck.

End of the Civil War The: The...

Editors Charles River

Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War, marveling at the size of the battles, the leadership of the generals, and the courage of the soldiers. Since the war's start over 150 years ago, the battles have been subjected to endless debate among historians and the generals themselves. The Civil War was the deadliest conflict in American history, and had the two sides realized it would take 4 years and inflict over a million casualties, it might not have been fought. Since it did, however, historians and history buffs alike have been studying and analyzing the biggest battles ever since. 
By the close of 1864, Abraham Lincoln had been reelected, the Union army had taken Nashville from General Hood, and Sherman had concluded his total war, “slash-and-burn” march of destruction to Savannah, Georgia, offering it as a Christmas present to Lincoln. Nevertheless, with everything seemingly falling to pieces, the South still held out hope of some sort of miracle, and Davis even attempted to send a peace delegation to meet with Lincoln in the early months of 1865. To most observers, the South was clearly reaching its end, but Davis had no intention of quitting the war. Even while he was fleeing, he attempted to order Confederate generals in the field to keep fighting. On April 9, 1865, Lee formally surrendered his weary army to Grant at Appomattox. Appomattox is frequently cited as the end of the Civil War, but there still remained several Confederate armies across the country, mostly under the command of General Joseph E. Johnston, the same commander who arrived with reinforcements by rail during the First Battle of Bull Run and gave the South hope with victory in the first major battle. 
On April 26, 1865, Johnston defied Davis’s orders and surrendered all of his forces to General Sherman, and over the next month, the remaining Confederate forces would surrender or quit.
