The Gardens Of Adonis written by Marcel Detienne and has been published by Princeton University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2021-10-12 with History categories.

Rich with implications for the history of sexuality, gender issues, and patterns of Hellenic literary imagining, Marcel Detienne's landmark book recasts long-standing ideas about the fertility myth of Adonis. The author challenges Sir James Frazer's thesis that the vegetation god Adonis-- whose premature death was mourned by women and whose resurrection marked a joyous occasion--represented the annual cycle of growth and decay in agriculture. Using the analytic tools of structuralism, Detienne shows instead that the festivals of Adonis depict a seductive but impotent and fruitless deity--whose physical ineptitude led to his death in a boar hunt, after which his body was found in a lettuce patch. Contrasting the festivals of Adonis with the solemn ones dedicated to Demeter, the goddess of grain, he reveals the former as a parody and negation of the institution of marriage. Detienne considers the short-lived gardens that Athenian women planted in mockery for Adonis's festival, and explores the function of such vegetal matter as spices, mint, myrrh, cereal, and wet plants in religious practice and in a wide selection of myths. His inquiry exposes, among many things, attitudes toward sexual activities ranging from "perverse" acts to marital relations.

In this detailed treatment of the myth of Adonis in post-Classical times, Carlo Caruso provides an overview of the main texts, both literary and scholarly, in Latin and in the vernacular, which secured for the Adonis myth a unique place in the Early Modern revival of Classical mythology. While aiming to provide this general outline of the myth's fortunes in the Early Modern age, the book also addresses three points of primary interest, on which most of the original research included in the work has been conducted. First, the myth's earliest significant revival in the age of Italian Humanism, and particularly in the poetry of the great Latin poet and humanist Giovanni Pontano. Secondly, the diffusion of syncretistic interpretations of the Adonis myth by means of authoritative sixteenth-century mythological encyclopaedias. Thirdly, the allegorical/political use of the Adonis myth in G.B. Marino's (1569-1625) Adone, published in Paris in 1623 to celebrate the Bourbon dynasty and to support their legitimacy with regard to the throne of France.

Nearing the end of The Human Genome Project its leaders confirmed that Homo Sapiens was in a steady decline due to the fall in quality and quantity of the male sperm. They determined what would be the genome of a man fit to become the next Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) of the human race by the male line and dubbed it the Adonis Project. The female line was in no such decline as the Mitochondrial Eve inheritance had carried through and strengthened, as mothers struggled to nurture their offspring. There were millions of girls who would produce enlightened children if Adonis was their father. The conspirators, for that, is what they had become, determined that Adonis would require three exceptional women to be his goddesses. They would form a family for Adonis and their children would become leaders in the Utopian World which must come. The conspirators planned to select one-hundred genetically superior young women each year to be impregnated by Adonis and then as their sons and grandsons grew up, they too would impregnate one-hundred girls a year and by the end of the century, all people of child-bearing age would be Adonis's descendants.Adonis had been identified four-years before our story begins. However, nobody told Brad Clifford that he had been selected to be Adonis, as the project might never eventuate if the three goddesses were not found.On the night our story opens, Mary Clifford, Brad's mother, comes to Brad's bed asking to be held, in fear she might harm them both. Her husband, Bruce Clifford, had been killed in a car smash five days earlier and she didn't want to go on. In the early hours of the morning Brad wakes, in a spectacular nocturnal emission, Adonis broke out. Mary, one of the conspirators, realises that Adonis has manifested to save her, becomes Aphrodite in his arms. Adonis's purpose in life is to bring about the Utopia that has often been sought but never achieved. He wages an undeclared war on those who would prevent all mankind from enjoying the best of what our world provides. Yes, the saga has justly been classified as Erotic, as Adonis fights with the only tools available to him.The saga comes with free access to the 21st Century Adonis Diary website where their relatives and friends' pictures and comments are provided, and Aphrodite describes her views on their lives. About the Author. It is not uncommon to hear the elderly complain about being old. For the authors of this saga, we find it a distinct advantage to be octogenarians. It has given us a worldview that can only be had by Living It, a far different perspective than having Learned It. We were born into the early years of the so-called Great Depression and listened to the radio to hear the declaration of The Second World War.

Growing numbers of young men are taking the quest for perfect muscles, skin and hair too far, crossing the line from normal interest to pathological obsession. For the first time, three of the world's leading authorities on men help us to understand and combat the frightening set of compulsive behaviours that make up the Adonis Complex. Combining colourful case studies with scientific research, they reveal a threat that is as serious as the beauty myth for women or anorexia nervosa for girls. The symptoms of this dangerous body obsession, excessive workouts, steroid abuse, eating disorders and body and muscle dysmorphic disorder (distorted body perception), lead to problems with sex and intimacy, relationships and work. In teenagers, the Adonis Complex can interfere with healthy emotional and physical development. Until now, frank discussion of this problem has been virtually taboo. At last we can hear what men really think and feel about their bodies, so that those who suffer in silence will no longer need to suffer alone.
