Beschreibung

Ancient Greek literature has a profound impact on western literature at large. In particular, many ancient Roman authors drew inspiration from their Greek predecessors. Ever since the Renaissance, European authors in general, including Dante Alighieri, William Shakespeare, John Milton, and James Joyce, have all drawn heavily on classical themes and motifs. Even today authors are fascinated with Greek literature, and still great works of literature are based on ancient myths and plays. The readers can still relate to these works of art and learn from them, even though written two millennials ago. This collection is based on the required reading list of Yale Department of Classics. Originally designed for students, this anthology is meant for everyone wanting to know more about history and literature of this period, interested in poetry, philosophy and drama of Antient Greece.

    Much has been written about Western intervention during the breakup of Yugoslavia, and whether it made matters worse, prevented worse atrocities, or was simply ineffective. In early 1992, however, what was clear was that Europe was hopelessly divided over the best course of action to take towards Yugoslavia, and after several years of fighting, the Bosnian War was one of the most violent conflagrations in Europe since the end of World War II.  
    	That war had been the byproduct of centuries of tensions in the Balkans, and an attempt in the wake of World War I to redraw the political boundaries of Europe and the Middle East. That included forming the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, initially known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, a particularly fragile enterprise, and there was almost constant tension between the majority Serbs and the other Yugoslav nationalities, especially the Croats. As a result, the Kingdom was a land of political assassinations, underground terrorist organizations, and ethnic animosities. In 1929, King Alexander I suspended democracy and ruled as a dictator until he himself was assassinated in 1934.  
    	Depending on the source, many authors have focused on different catalysts for Yugoslavia’s demise, but Vesna Drapac may have succinctly summed the situation up when he wrote that by the end, the state “lacked a reason to exist.” There is certainly something in this sentiment, but the disintegration came at an enormous cost. 
    	Given what happened in Yugoslavia, it should be little surprise the area that eventually became the modern nation of Montenegro has had a turbulent history for millennia, with shifting borders, different degrees of autonomy, and various conflicts occurring within it.

    Hohokam Civilization - Desert...

    The Hohokam civilization, flourishing in the deserts of what is now southern Arizona, represents one of the most fascinating examples of ancient ingenuity in the American Southwest. Known for their advanced irrigation techniques, complex social structures, and distinctive artistic expressions, the Hohokam thrived in a harsh environment for over a thousand years. Their story provides valuable insight into human adaptability and innovation in response to challenging surroundings. 
    The origins of the Hohokam civilization are traced back to around 300 BCE, with their culture emerging as a distinct entity by approximately 600 CE. Archaeologists and researchers have found evidence of their presence in the Sonoran Desert, a region marked by intense heat and little rainfall. Despite these extreme conditions, the Hohokam were able to build thriving communities that relied heavily on farming, with maize, beans, and squash being staple crops. The Hohokam’s ability to create sustainable agricultural systems in the desert is considered one of their greatest achievements. 
    Central to the Hohokam way of life was their mastery of water management. They constructed a vast network of irrigation canals, some of which stretched for miles, to channel water from rivers into their fields. This water was crucial not only for agriculture but also for their communities' survival. The Hohokam’s innovative canal systems transformed the desert landscape, allowing them to cultivate the land and support large populations. These systems remain a testament to their engineering skills and ability to harness the natural environment for their benefit.
