Its origin goes back to mythical antiquity, and it has occupied the attention of the most eminent scholars of China down to the present day. Nearly all that is greatest and most significant in the three thousand years of Chinese cultural history has either taken its inspiration from this book, or has exerted an influence on the interpretation of its text. Therefore it may safely be said that the seasoned wisdom of thousands of years has gone into the making of the I Ching. Small wonder then that both of the two branches of Chinese philosophy, Confucianism (儒家) and Taoism (道教), have their common roots here. The I Ching does not offer itself with proofs and results; it does not vaunt itself, nor is it easy to approach. Like a part of nature, it waits until it is discovered. It offers neither facts nor power, but for lovers of self-knowledge, of wisdom—if there be such—it seems to be the right book. To one person its spirit appears as clear as day; to another, shadowy as twilight; to a third, dark as night. He who is not pleased by it does not have to use it, and he who is against it is not obliged to find it true. Let it go forth into the world for the benefit of those who can discern its meaning. This audiobook feature 1/3 of The I Ching or Book of Changes by Richard Wilhelm & Cary F. Baynes.

Evelyn White Genre(s) : Ancient Greece, Greek Mythology, Knowledge Reader : Arthur Krolman Audio & Video Editor : AudioBooks Dimension _________________________________ Hesiod's father was a seafaring trader and, perhaps, also a farmer. He was forced by poverty to leave his native place, and returned to continental Greece. Two sons, Hesiod and Perses, were born to the settler, and these, after his death, divided the farm between them. Perses, however, who is represented as an idler and spendthrift, obtained and kept the larger share by bribing the corrupt ruling "lords". Works And Days of Hesiod is a didactic poem in dactylic hexameter. It is a farmer's almanac in which Hesiod instructs his brother Perses in the agricultural arts, and also offers his brother extensive moralizing advice on how he should live his life. Works And Days is best known for its two mythological aetiologies for the toil and pain that define the human condition, the story of Prometheus and Pandora, and the Myth of Five Ages.

The story takes place in the era before the Trojan War, when Heracles (Ἡρακλῆς / Hercules) was still a mortal and Achilles (Achilleus / Ἀχιλλεύς) was still an infant. The main character Jason (Ἰάσων) was the son of Aeson (Αἴσων), descendant of Aeolus (Αἴολος), and rightful heir of the throne of Iolcus (Ἰωλκός). He was raised by a centaur Chiron (Χείρων) since baby until he was an adult, at which time he returned to Iolcus. But he was not welcome by King Pelias (Πελίας), who usurped Jason's father. Pelias gave Jason an impossible quest, to fetch the Golden Fleece from the King Aeetes (Αἰήτης) of Colchis (Κολχίς). Instead of refusal, Jason assembled a band of chiefest heroes to aid him on his epic adventure, this group was the Argonauts (Ἀργοναῦται). The Golden Fleece is the fleece of the golden-woolled, winged ram, Chrysomallos (Χρυσόμαλλον δέρας). According to legend, two children of King Athamas (Ἀθάμας), Phrixus (Φρίξος) and Helle (Ἕλλη), were to be sacrificed after their step-mother convinced their father it was necessary. But before the sacrifice took place, Nephele (Νεφέλη) sent the holy ram to took the children away, travelling a long distance through the air. Unfortunately Helle fell from the ram during the flight and either drowned or was rescued by Poseidon (Ποσειδῶν). The ocean where she dropped bears her name Hellespontus (Ἑλλήσποντος). Phrixus continued his journey and arrived in Colchis, an area in the southern Caucasus on the eastern coast of the Black Sea. He was welcomed by the King Aeetes of Colchis, giving Phrixus his daughter, Chalciope, in marriage. In gratitude, Phrixus gave the king the Golden Fleece of the Golden Ram, which the king kept it at the sacred grove of Ares, guarded by a sleepless & deathless dragon. The Tale of the Argonauts had been told often before in verse and prose, and many authors’ names are given in the Scholia to Apollonius, but their works have perished. The best known earlier account that we have is that in Pindar’s fourth Pythian ode, from which Apollonius has taken many details. The subject was one for an epic poem, for its unity might have been found in the working out of the expiation due for the crime of Athamas; but this motive is barely mentioned by our author.

Of diverse origins, the stories associated with his name have descended to modern times through a number of sources and continue to be reinterpreted in different verbal registers and in popular as well as artistic media. The fables originally belonged to oral tradition and were not collected for some three centuries after Aesop's death. By that time, a variety of other stories, jokes and proverbs were being ascribed to him, although some of that material was from sources earlier than him or came from beyond the Greek cultural sphere. The process of inclusion has continued until the present, with some of the fables unrecorded before the Late Middle Ages and others arriving from outside Europe. The process is continuous and new stories are still being added to the Aesop corpus, even when they are demonstrably more recent work and sometimes from known authors. Many of the tales are characterized by animals and inanimate objects that speak, solve problems, and generally have human characteristics. Initially the fables were addressed to adults and covered religious, social and political themes. They were also put to use as ethical guides and from the Renaissance onwards were particularly used for the education of children. Their ethical dimension was reinforced in the adult world through depiction in sculpture, painting and other illustrative means, as well as adaptation to drama and song. In addition, there have been reinterpretations of the meaning of fables and changes in emphasis over time. The fables remain a popular choice for moral education of children today.
