Summary

Sculpture in Mythology explores how ancient Greek and Roman societies used sculpture to express their deepest beliefs and values, focusing on deities, heroes, and foundational narratives. This book examines the intersection of art and history, revealing how cultural beliefs were translated into tangible forms. For example, the evolving depiction of gods in sculpture mirrored shifts in social and political dynamics. Sculptural representations weren't just artistic; they were tools to propagate cultural values and legitimize authority.

 
The book begins by introducing the role of myth in ancient societies and the origins of iconic sculptural forms. It then explores the evolution of god figures in Greek and Roman sculpture and the portrayal of heroes as models for citizens.

 
The book uses archaeological findings, inscriptions, and historical texts, enhancing its argument by illustrating how myths and their representations were intertwined with classical literature and political science.

    A classic account of one of the most tragic battles in military history. 
After the Ottoman Empire sided with Germany in World War One, Churchill conceived a plan of forcing the Dardenelles to reopen the straights for Russian shipping, occupying Constantinople, and knocking the Turks out of the war. 
By March 1915, his plan had nearly succeeded, and the Turks were nearly beaten. But communication failures left the Allies in the dark. They allowed the Turks to reorganize and deal the Allies a terrible string of defeats leading to a crushing quarter million casualties. 
This audiobook is in a series of Military History Short Reads that are meant to be read in under two hours—bringing to life the sheer heartbreaking physical horrors and tragic waste of human life fighting to achieve impossible objectives on unmapped, unknown terrain.

    Cork born Seamus Cashman is the founder of one of Ireland's leading literary and cultural publishing houses, Wolfhound Press. Previous poetry collections are: Carnival and Clowns & Acrobats. He edited two landmark anthologies for young readers, The Wolfhound Press Book of Irish Poems for Young People (1975) still in print, and Something Beginning with P: new poems from Irish poets (2004). He is a publishing consultant and writing tutor. He lives in Portmarnock. 
The new poems in this collection reflect Cashman's sense of place and of the spiritual groundings of daily life characteristic of his early poems. Secrets, a sequence of thirteen poems written following a visit to Palestine– such as 'The Seperation Wall', 'Random Contact', 'Exceptions To The Truth', – are passionate responses to contemporary political tragedy, abuse of human rights, and love of homeland (tír grá). Poems in section two, Opening Doors, dance between childhood and parenthood, catch glimpses in mirrors and are 'Flying Skies'. Here are accessible, confident poems by a poet whose lyrical voice captivates.
