Anatolian Costumes of Eastern Thrace, Mysia & Bithynia
The song is KΩNΣTANTINIA (Constantinia) from Guardians of Hellenism Vol. 5 Constantinople (Sea of Marmara, Bithynia). The singer is Tasos Aloupis. Anatolia (Aνατολή), which means East in Greek, which is now modern Turkey, was the heartland of Byzantium before the Ottoman invasion. There are various ethnic influences in its culture. Of course, many parts of Anatolia also have remnants of the glorious Ancient Greek civilization. Featured in the video are costumes from: Eastern Thrace (Ανατολική Θράκη): Makra Gefyra (Μακρά Γέφυρα), Adrianople (Ἁδριανούπολις), Saranta Ekklisies(Σαράντα Εκκλησιές), Rodosto (Ρωδόστο) & Constantinople (Κωνσταντινούπολις). Mysia (Μυσία): Palaeokastron & Prousa (Προύσα) Bithynia: Sakarya & Claudiopolis Translation of the song: 'Isn't it a shame and unfair, isn't it a sin, O Constantinia, To torment my youth with no good cause, O Constantinia? Oh Constantinia, marry now you're young. You walk like a partridge, you fly like a dove, A pity for such beauty not to have a mate. Constantinia, my darling, long may you live, my heart. My one hand's in the fire, the other on the knife, Either I'll kill myself or burn, or I will make you mine. In faith, Constantinia, take me home with you.' About the song: 'Various sources attribute it to different regions, from Propontis and Kappadocia to Chios. In our opinion, it is one of the most widespread songs with couplets found in the whole Eastern Greece.' (p28 of the CD manual).

HERR ~ "The Queen Of Bithynia"
HERR ~ "The Queen Of Bithynia"
HERR (Heiliges Europa Römisches Reich) is a Dutch / English band that was founded in 2002 by Michiel Spapé (composer). Other core members are Miklos Hoffer (vocals/live percussion) and, from the second album onwards, Troy Southgate (vocals/live percussion/guitar). Musically, they have been described as neofolk, minimalist, Neoclassical and martial. They have achieved some distinction within those genres, particularly following the success of their second and third albums, 'The Winter of Constantinople' (2005) and 'Vondel's Lucifer: First Movement' (2006). Key HERR idiosyncrasies include Troy Southgate wearing a striped football shirt to perform 'Hopes Die in Winter' whilst Miklos Hoffer is known to yell down a megaphone during live renditions of 'Zachte Heelmeesters'. The overall style of the group tends to be dark suits or military jackets with shirts and ties. Troy Southgate has performed vocals for Seelenlicht (Germany), Horologium (Poland), Von Thronstahl (Germany), The Days of the Trumpet Call (Germany), Survival Unit (Sweden), Sagittarius (Germany), Across The Rubicon (Poland), Funerary Call (Canada), Sala Delle Colonne (Portugal), Erich Zahn (Netherlands), Desert Divinity (Italy), Ollin (Poland/US) and Elvatorium (Poland/US). Michiel Spapé has a side-project called Mirrori.

Uludağ / Bursa / TURKEY
Uludağ / Bursa / TURKEY
Uludağ [uˈɫudaː], the ancient Mysian Olympus, is a mountain in Bursa Province, Turkey, with an altitude of 2543 m (8343 ft). It is a popular center for winter sports such as skiing, and a national park of rich flora and fauna. Summer activities, such as trekking and camping, also are popular. In Turkish, Uludağ means "Sublime Mountain", but in colloquial Turkish, the older name Keşiş Dağı, "Mountain of Monks," is still used. In ancient times the range of which it is a part, extending along the southern edge of Bithynia, was known as Olympos in Greek and Olympus in Latin, the western extremity being known as the Mysian Olympus and the eastern as the Bithynian Olympus,[2] and the city of Bursa was known as Prusa ad Olympum from its position near the mountain.[3] Throughout the Middle Ages, it contained hermitages and monasteries: "The rise of this monastic centre in the 8th c. and its prestige up to the 11th are linked to the resistance of numerous monks to the policy of the iconoclast emperors and then to a latent opposition to the urban, Constantinopolitan monasticism of the Studites."[4]. One of the greatest monks of the Christian East, the wonder-working Byzantine monk Saint Joannicius the Great, lived as a hermit on this mountain. Mt. Uludağ is the highest mountain of the Marmara region. Its highest peak is Kartaltepe at 2543 m (8343 ft). To the north are high plateaus: Sarıalan, Kirazlıyayla, Kadıyayla, and Sobra. There is an abandoned wolfram mine near the summit <b>...</b>

A Song for Chalcedon and the Way of Christ
A Song for Chalcedon and the Way of Christ
The song is 'Γη κι Ουρανός' - Gi ki Ouranos (Earth and Heaven) by Peggy Zina (Πέγκυ Ζήνα). Chalcedon (Χαλκηδών) is an ancient Greek city in Bithynia, the earlier of two sites used for colonies (the second being Byzantion across the Bosphorus). Its importance as a Byzantine city was marked by the Council of Chalcedon in 451. Emperor Marcian invited Bishops across the Christian world to the 4th ecumenical council, to settle the issue of the humanity of Christ. The majority of Bishops agreed that Christ was perfect God and perfect Man, and the few who disagreed were called the Monophysites. This council caused the first great schism in Christianity, between Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox, based mostly in Egypt. Chalcedon is now part of Turkey, which the Turks call Kadıköy.

"Christ was born in the 42th year of the rule of Augustus. He started to preach in the 15th year of Tiberius." (The Chronicle of Eusebius of Caesarea-Preface by St Jerome ) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Jesus Christ, according to the prophecies, which had been spoken about him beforehand, came to the Passion in the 18th year of Tiberius, at which time also we find these things written verbatim in other commentaries of the gentiles: an eclipse of the sun happened *, Bithynia shaken by earthquake, and in the city of Nicaea many buildings collapsed: all of which agree with what occurred in the Passion of the Saviour. Indeed Phlegon, who is an excellent calculator of olympiads, also writes about this, in his 13th book writing thus: "However in the fourth year of the 202nd olympiad, an eclipse of the sun happened, greater and more excellent than any that had happened before it; at the sixth hour, day turned into dark night, so that the stars were seen in the sky, and an earthquake in Bithynia toppled many buildings of the city of Nicaea."

The Ciceronians- Catullus 10
The Ciceronians- Catullus 10
We had to do a project for Latin instead of the quarter exam. This is our rendition of Catullus 10. (our means Peter, Jay and Tanner's (collectively known as the Ciceronians)) Ms.Palumbo please give us an A. Tanner really needs to pass the class. By the way, Scortillum means prostiutute in Latin. that would be why we screamed it... My Varus had led me, at leisure, from the forum To his object of affection, to visit her A little whore, as it then suddenly seemed to me, Not really uncharming and not unattractive. When we came to this place, varied conversations Fell onto us, in which, what was now Bithynia, how did it hold itself, and with just what bronze had Bithynia profited me. I answered that which was, that nothing neither to themselves Nor to the praetors nor to the cohort was there; Why anyone would bring back a more perfumed head, Especially [people] to whom the governor was a pervert, and (to whom) didn't reckon the corhort the value of a hair. "But certainly nevertheless" they asked "the thing which there Is said to have been bore, you bought Men for the purpose of a litter." I, in order that to the girl I might make myself (seem) one rather fortunate man, I said "it wasn't so malign for me so that because of the bad province that had befallen [me], I was not able to obtain eight upright men." But there was no man to me neither here nor there, Of the sort who the broken foot of an old couch was able to set on his neck. That woman, as befit a rather slutty girl <b>...</b>
