  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.

  This New York Times–bestselling memoir of one woman’s erotic escapades is “brilliantly literate, utterly unabashed [and] consistently provocative” (The Philadelphia Inquirer).   Since it was first published in France, The Sexual Life of Catherine M. has become a global literary phenomenon, hailed as one of the most important books on sexuality to be published in decades.   Catherine Millet, the eminent editor of Art Press, has always led a free and active sexual life—from alfresco encounters in Italy to a gang bang on the edge of the Bois du Boulogne to a high-class orgy at a chichi Parisian restaurant. She has taken pleasure in the indistinct darkness of a peep show booth and under the probing light of a movie camera at an orgy. And in The Sexual Life of Catherine M., she recounts it all, from tender interludes with a lover to situations where her partners were so numerous and simultaneous they became indistinguishable parts of a collective body.   A graphic account of physical gratification and a relentlessly honest look at the consequences—both good and bad—of sex stripped of sentiment, The Sexual Life of Catherine M. is “truly a masterpiece of sexual exploration [that] will be a classic” (The Hartford Courant).

  If spiritual progress is your goal, then there is no substitute for the word of God. We have intertwined our divine prosperity with physical, financial, and sentimental achievements. We must follow that which is fundamental.  
  You do not need to know how to think or how to act. Success requires listening to the still small voice of God and following His instructions. What makes things happen is obedience to His Word. 
  When He asked me to write this, I became His author because He asked me to write what He did when I obeyed. 
  People asked me to write this book, but I said no, I did not want people to know me, but I wanted them to know the Lord. 
  One afternoon a friend came over and brought some of her friends I had never met.  
  I did not know that one of them was a prophetess, and as she began to pray for me, she prophesied that I would finish the book that I had started and that it would give glory to God. 
  Now, during that time, I was very sick. However, negative thoughts kept me from moving forward and the book forgot me. 
  So when the prophetess said that the book would give glory to God and not to me, it completely changed my mind. 
  Many things have also prevented you from moving forward because of the liar, Satan, I learned that fear, twisting the word of God, and telling us the opposite of what God wants for us is the mastermind technique of the devil. 
  What will result from your listening to God instead of the liar? All things are possible. If I can do it, so can you. 
  May this book lead you to God's higher plan for you to receive all the blessings that can only come from Him. 
  God is the Author and I am just the humble vessel, He even gave me the title, I did it His way. All glory to God! 
  I Did It His Way

  FOREWORD FROM THE LATE RAPPER DMX 
   
   
   
  Born in post-Depression era Detroit to a stable, Catholic, two-parent household, and heir to the family business, Donald Goines was instead drawn to the streets and to the dangerous lure of The Life. No writer would end up capturing it quite like Goines. He knew the hustle intimately: bootlegging, pimping, drugs, prostitutes, gambling, and prison. Inspired by the revolutionary author, Iceberg Slim, Donald drew on his own experiences to drop an astonishing sixteen bestselling novels in three short years, including Whoreson, Dopefiend, Daddy Cool, and Never Die Alone. Ironically, the criminal world that infused Goines's brilliant, uncompromised, and redemptive outlet would be the same one to finally snuff him out. 
   
   
   
  In this in-depth and updated biography, culled from personal letters, treatments from unwritten books, photographs, and interviews with family members, Eddie B. Allen, Jr. commemorates not only Goines's compelling life—from his stint in the Air Force as a teen to his criminal career to cult author status—but Goines's lasting legacy as well. One that resounds with new generations, many of whom are discovering for the first time that he was a true original.
