T-90
|
The T-90 is a main battle tank in service with the Russian army. Some other countries have T-90S tanks. It is a third generation tank.
The tank started as a type of the T-72B with some features of the T-80U and was accordingly called the T-72BU before being named the T-90.The main weapon of the tank is the 2A46M smoothbore main gun. Other weapons are the Kord heavy machine gun on the top of the tank and the PK machine gun next to the barrel.
Features.
Firepower.
The main firepower of the t-90 is the 125mm 2A46M smoothbore main gun mounted in the turret.
It can launch HE,APDS,APFSDS and HEAT. It can not launch HESH.
It can launch slower than sound 9M119 Svir/Relfeks anti tank missiles.Its gun is aimed by a computer called the 1A45T fire control system and is stabilized by the 2E42-4 Zhasmin System.The tank has 44 rounds of ammunition with an autoloader that takes about 8 seconds to reload.The ammunition is stored close to the crew in a downward spiral below the turret and has an effective firing range of 4000 meters.
Protection.
The T-90 is well armoured with the armour consisting of a mix of many different materials that are covered by "bricks" of explosive reactive armour creating a clam shell appearance.It is shorter and smaller compared to other modern tanks at only 2.2 meters tall.Without ERA the tank has the equivalent of 550 mm of armour against APFSDS and 650-850 mm vs HEAT. With Kontakt-5 the tank's turret has the equivalent of 800-830 mm of armour against APFSDS and 1,150-1,550 mm against HEAT.However there are some weak spots in the armour like the rear hull (40 mm armour without ERA) and the rear turret armour(20 mm armour without ERA), the lower front plate, and the driver's sight. The gunners hatch,commanders tower and sighting devices have relatively thin armour as well.The middle of the tracks are also a weak spot in an area called the redan where the armour is only 30 mm thick.Along with passive protection(armour) the T-90 also has an active protective system called Shtora-1. Shtora-1 counters SALCOS missiles by a using electro-optical jammer which stops the missiles from guiding and can also counter infra red missiles by using a infra-red jammer and launching smoke grenades from the smoke grenade launchers.
Mobility and awareness.
On roads the T-90 has a maximum speed of 60 km/h(37 mph) and runs on a diesel engine using either gasoline or kerosene.
The tanks crew have infra red vision equipment and sensors to help them remain aware of their surroundings.The gunner and tank commander have different sights with both having a narrow field of view. This narrow field of view helps with long range combat at the cost of situational awareness.The tanks sensors can detect missiles, radiation, and other tanks. The tank can also detect any fires in the tank and put the fire out.

Vladimir Harkonnen
|
Baron Vladimir Harkonnen is the main villain of Dune by Frank Herbert.
Characterization.
Baron Vladimir Harkonnen rules the planet Giedi Prime. The Baron is also a homosexual, a pedophile a slaveowner and a rapist. He hates Duke Leto Atreides of the planet Caladan and Leto’s entire family. He also hates his nephew The Beast Rabban but liked Rabban’s younger brother Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen and wants Feyd to take over from him when he dies. Even though he’s homosexual, the Baron once had sex with a Bene Gesserit witch who gave birth to a daughter named Jessica. Jessica later became Leto’s concubine and gave birth to a son Paul Atreides.
Role in Dune.
After Leto takes over as ruler of the planet Arrakis, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen works with the Padishah Emperor on having Leto’s entire family killed so that Baron Harkonnen can take over. He puts the Beast Rabban in charge of Arrakis but plans to replace him with Feyd-Rautha. Then Mua’dib leads a revolution and the Baron Harkonnen gets in trouble with the Emperor. Mua’dib sister Alia Atreides comes says she’s the Baron’s granddaughter and that Mua’dib is Leto’s son Paul Atreides. She then kills the Baron.
Children of Dune.
In the book Children of Dune, Alia (who was born with the memories of all her ancestors male and female) keeps herself from going crazy by listening to her grandfather Baron Vladimir Harkonnen who turns her evil so she kills herself.
Character Overview.
Baron Vladimir Harkonnen is portrayed as a man of boundless cruelty, cunning, opportunistic, hedonistic, and utterly without conscience. Physically, he's described as morbidly obese, to the extent he needs a suspensor belt (or anti-gravity devices in some adaptations) to support his weight. Despite his physical form, he possesses a sharp, highly devious mind and an exceptional ability for strategic planning and political machinations. His primary motive is revenge against House Atreides and the pursuit of ultimate power and wealth.
Role in the Series
In the first novel, Dune 1965, Baron Harkonnen is known as the mastermind behind the conspiracy that leads to the fall of House Atreides and their relocation to the desolate planet Arrakis. He collaborates with Emperor Shaddam IV to eliminate Duke Leto Atreides, believing this will secure his absolute control over spice production and, consequently, the fate of the Imperium.
Baron Harkonnen demonstrates an exceptional ability to manipulate and control his subordinates, such as his nephew Glossu Rabban, known as "The Beast Rabban," and his other nephew Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, whom he plans to be his heir. The Baron represents the dark side of human nature, with his character embodying greed, tyranny, and an insatiable lust for absolute power.
His complex ties to the Bene Gesserit genetic program are later revealed, showing him to be the biological father of Jessica, Paul Atreides' mother, which adds a tragic dimension to the Baron's relationship with Paul and the origins of the Atreides family.
Literary Analysis.
Baron Vladimir Harkonnen is an embodiment of the negative manifestations of power and oppression. Through him, Herbert reflects the dangers of authoritarianism and the corruption of unchecked power. His character serves as an example of the traditional antagonist in heroic stories, where his brutality and cruelty highlight the heroism and resolve of characters like Paul Atreides. He's also seen as a symbolic figure for oil companies and major monopolies that control vital resources and exploit them for endless profit.
In Other Works
Baron Vladimir Harkonnen has appeared in numerous visual adaptations of the Dune series:
* Dune 1984 film: The character was portrayed by actor Kenneth McMillan. This adaptation presented the Baron in an exaggerated and terrifying light, focusing on his enormous physical form and cruelty.
* Frank Herbert's Dune 2000 miniseries and Children of Dune 2003 miniseries: Actor Ian McNeice embodied the character. McNeice delivered a critically acclaimed performance, combining the Baron's sinister appearance with his malevolent intelligence.
* Dune 2021 film and Dune: Part Two 2024 film: Actor Stellan Skarsgård played the character. In these modern adaptations, the Baron is depicted with a more restrained yet equally menacing presence, focusing on his imposing demeanor and strategic cunning, in addition to his terrifying physical appearance that underscores his power and corruption.

Ned Young
|
Edward "Ned" Young (c. 1762 – 25 December 1800), was a British sailor, mutineer and co-founder of the mutineers' Pitcairn Island settlement. he was the only officer to join in the mutiny on April 28, 1789. Young was born on the West Indian island of Saint Kitts. He apparently came from a poor family, but he did attend school. An 1825 Royal Navy biography reports that he was the nephew of Sir George Young, Baronet. He joined the crew of the "Bounty" as a midshipman. Young was asleep during the mutiny, and did not wake until after it was over. Thus, he neither participated in the mutiny nor was able to fight against it or join Bligh and others who left the ship in a long boat. Young was the only crew member to sleep through this ordeal. However, he soon fully supported Christian and the mutineers, and that he would never attempt to return to England. He joined Christian on the voyage to Pitcairn.
In 1799 Young began to experience asthma. At about the same time, he became more religious. The other islanders converted to Christianity, and Young taught Adams and several of the children to read and write. Young's health became progressively worse and eventually he died of asthma, but Adams continued his work of educating the women and children, taking control over leadership of the island, and lived to see the island rediscovered by American and British ships.

Almost nothing is known about the early life of Adams. An article from the "Mona's Herald", dated April 1876, states that Adams had, for some time, resided in Douglas, Isle of Man.
When the American ship "Topaz" arrived at Pitcairn in 1808, the ship's captain found Adams ruling over a peaceful community of ten Tahitian women (including his wife) and several children. His children used the surname "Adams".
The main settlement and capital of Pitcairn, Adamstown, is named after Adams.
Adams' grave on Pitcairn is the only known grave site of a "Bounty" mutineer. It has a replacement headstone, the original lead-covered wooden grave marker having been taken back to Britain where it is now on display in the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London.
Adams was the third ruler of the Pitcairn Islands.

Helldivers 2
|
Helldivers 2 (stylized as Helldivers II) is a cooperative third-person shooter video game. It was published by Sony Interactive Entertainment and was developed by Arrowhead Game Studios. The game was released on 8 February 2024 for the PlayStation 5 and Windows.
It is the sequel to the 2015 game "Helldivers", which was released on 3 March 2015.
In the game, players team up to fight in a Galactic War to destroy enemies and complete objectives. The goal is to reclaim land on Super Earth that was colonized by invading by a group of invading bug creatures called Terminids and robots called Automatons, and a squid-like species called the Illuminate.
Summary.
Setting.
"Helldivers 2" is set in the 22nd century, 100 years after the events of the first game, "Helldivers", known within "Helldivers 2" as the "First Galactic War." "Super Earth" is a world organization that controls Earth and its intergalactic territories, describing itself as a "managed democracy." Super Earth had won against the Bugs, Cyborgs, and Illuminate. From the Illuminate, humans took faster-than-light technology and used that to conquer the Milky Way Galaxy during a period known as the "Great Democratization".
Reception.
The game was very liked by game critics. Critics said that they liked the combat and multiplayer co-op of the game. However, the release was criticized because of the game crashing many times during play and the ability to connect to other players.
"Helldivers 2" sold very well as well. It sold over 8 million copies since 15 March 2024, with over 450,000 simultaneous players on Steam.

Safa and Marwa
|
Located in the long galley that is a part of Masjid Al-Haram, Safa and Marwa are two small historical hills which are connected to the larger mountains, Abu Qubays and Qaiqan in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Safa and Marwa are an integral part of the religious acts of Hajj and Umrah as Muslim pilgrims are commanded to walk between the two hills in order to commemorate Bibi Hajar’s commitment to her son, Prophet Ismail , in such harsh circumstances and her unwavering devotion to the command of Allah SWT
During the Umrah and Hajj pilgrimages, Muslim pilgrims are required to travel back and forth seven times between the mountains of Safa and Marwa. This ritual is commonly known as Sa’ee, linguistically meaning walking, pursuing, or striving. It is a Sunnah to perform Sa’I, and hence every pilgrim should perform the Umrah and Hajj correctly by embarking upon this ritual.

Sciaenidae
|
Sciaenidae, the drums, is a family of ray-finned fishes in the order Acanthuriformes. They are also known as croakers in reference to how they croak. The family has 298 species in 67 genera.
Taxonomy.
Sciaenidae was first made in 1829 by Georges Cuvier. "Fishes of the World" classifies the family in the suborder Sciaenoidei, while others classify them within the series Eupercaria. "Fishes of the World", FishBase and Catalog of Fishes do not place subfamilies in this family.
Genera.
The following genera are classified within the family Sciaenidae:
Fisheries.
Drums are a delicious food and excellent game fish. Some species are very important, for example, "Larimichthys polyactis", which had reported landings of 218,000–407,000 in 2000–2009. They are managed in the USA to ensure that they're sustainably harvested.
Croaking sound.
One of the most famous traits of the Sciaenidae are their "croaking" sound. It is used as a mating call in some species. This is why they are sometimes called "croakers".
Use in communication.
The croaking mechanism is not just for mating calls. It is also used to communicate with another drum. The croaking mechanism helps dolphins to easily find a group of sciaenids.

Canadian Taxpayers Federation
|
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is an independent, non-government, non-for profit organization. It consists of Canadian citizens who devote their efforts in the organization to reduce wasteful spending, misspending and hold accountable the Canadian government who collects these taxes.
History.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is abbreviation CTF. The CTF was founded in 1990 in Saskatchewan, a province of Canada, in the year 1990. Two separate organizations, Association of Saskatchewan Taxpayers and the Resolution One Association of Alberta, began working together to form a country-wide organization to represent Canadians throughout the country.
Current activities.
The organization has mostly devoted itself to exposing government corruption; especially misspending and wasting taxpayer money. It focuses on unfair tax raises by the government. It lobbies for justice for Canadian citizens, including media conferences and Internet broadcasts. One example is it's resistance to the governments plane of opening a massively expensive battery plant, which would cost Canadian up to 15 billion dolalrs.
One of their most prominent roles currently is challenging salary raises for Canadian government officials which is costing citizens more and more money each year.
Another prominent role is their resistance to increased carbon taxes by the federal government, which keep going up each year. They argue it makes life difficult for people to heat their homes during winters and to use their cars because of higher fuel prices.

Major League Baseball drug policy
|
Major League Baseball's drug policy—the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program—was created by agreement between the MLB Players Association and the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball. The goal was to deter and end the use of banned substances, like anabolic steroids and other illegal drugs, and to "provide for, in keeping with the overall purposes of the Program, an orderly, systematic, and cooperative resolution of any disputes that may arise concerning the existence, interpretation, or application" of the policy itself. The Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program began use in the Spring of 2006.
While the Health Policy Advisory Committee (HPAC) can make recommendations to the Office of the Commissioner regarding punishment, it can't discipline players for violations of the drug policy, except to place them in the appropriate treatment programs. Such authority belongs to the Office of the Commissioner.
Prohibited substances.
Under the policy, all players can't use, possess, sell, mediate a sale of, distribute, or allow distribution of any Drug of Abuse, human growth hormone (HGH) and Steroid. Drugs or substances listed under Schedule II of the Controlled Substances Act are considered drugs of abuse by the Program. Players who require prescription medication can still use it with a "Therapeutic Use Exemption" granted by MLB.
Prohibited Substances can get on the list only by the unanimous vote of HPAC, provided that the addition by the federal government of a substance to Schedule I, II, or III will automatically result in that substance being added to the list.
Testing for banned substances.
Steroids.
Testing is administered via scientifically-validated urine test.
Each Player shall be tested when they get to Spring Training. All Players will be selected for an additional unannounced urine specimen collection during the season on a randomly selected date.
Drugs of abuse.
Testing for drugs of abuse isn't random, but on a basis of reasonable cause. If one of the HPAC panel members can prove that a player used, possessed, or sold banned substances in the last 12 months, they call a conference and discuss the evidence with the other members. If a majority vote to test the suspected player is reached then testing will take place no later than two days. Drugs of abuse include natural cannabinoids (e.g., THC, hashish and marijuana), synthetic THC and cannabimimetics (e.g., K2 and Spice), cocaine, LSD, opiates (e.g., oxycodone, heroin, codeine, and morphine), MDMA (ecstasy), GHB and phencyclidine (PCP).
Testing procedure.
Players and the collector must instruct the player to return in an hour, during which he can only drink 15 oz. of fluid in a sealed container(s) certified by the collector.
Testing protocols.
Any test done by the Program will be considered "positive" if one of three things happens:
Steroids.
A test is considered positive if a sufficient amount of steroids are present, except nandrolone, which is considered positive only if the level exceeds 2 ng/ml.
Stimulants.
The presence of a Stimulant shall be considered a positive only if the level exceeds 250 ng/ml, unless specified otherwise below:
Notification.
HPAC immediately notifies the Player and the Club of the positive drug test result.
In-Season testing.
On January 10, 2013, MLB and the players union reached an agreement to add random, in-season human growth hormone and to a new test to reveal the use of testosterone. Testing began the 2013 season.
Clinical and administrative tracks.
All players who enter the program are placed on the Clinical track, except when a player tests positive for steroids, does not comply with the initial evaluation, cooperate in his treatment, is convicted or pleads guilty or "nolo contendere" to the sale or use and prohibited substance, or participates in the sale or distribution of any banned substance. In that event, the player is placed in the Administrative Track. HPAC has the discretion to place a player in the Administrative Track in any other event, but not solely on the basis that the player is in an inpatient treatment program. Transfer to the Administrative track is contingent on a majority vote, and in the case of a tie, a fifth member must cast a vote based on reasonable cause and cannot consider past practice.
These votes are tallied and set forth in progressing games
Salary retention.
Players are entitled to salary retention for the first 30 days they are required to be in inpatient treatment or outpatient treatment that forces his absence from the Club, and half salary retention for the next thirty days, over the course of his career. However, players are not entitled to salary retention for any such period after 60 days during the course of his career.
Player evaluations.
Players are required to be seen at least once by HPAC, to determine the proper treatment program. HPAC may decide that additional meetings and medical and/or toxicology examinations are required.
Confidentiality.
The Office of the Commissioner, the Association, HPAC, Club personnel, and all of their members, affiliates, agents, consultants and employees, aren't allowed to publicly disclose information about the Player's test results, Initial Evaluation, diagnosis, Treatment Program (including whether a Player is on either the Clinical or Administrative Track), prognosis or compliance with the Program.
Discipline.
Failure to comply with treatment program.
All suspensions are without pay.
Conviction for use of prohibited substances.
All suspensions are without pay.

Satsivi
|
Satsivi (also known as chicken in walnut sauce) is a Georgian dish. It is made with chicken or turkey in a walnut sauce. It is seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, fenugreek, coriander and cinnamon.
Bazhe.
Bazhe is the most widely used of the Georgian walnut sauces. It is more runny than "satsivi" sauce. It contains either red wine vinegar or pomegranate juice. It is often used on boiled or fried fish, such as trout. It is slightly tart, as sweeteners are not used much by Georgians in their cooking.
Satsivi.
Satsivi is served cold as a dipping sauce for boiled or fried turkey or chicken. Traditionally, satsivi is made of walnuts, water, garlic, dried herbs (usually saffron and fenugreek), vinegar, cayenne pepper, and salt to taste. Satsivi is like the nut- or legume-based paste sauces like hummus (which often contains garlic, lemon juice as a souring agent, and tahini, or sesame butter/paste) in Syrian or Lebanese food.
Boiled turkey or chicken pieces in satsivi is generally eaten at winter holiday feasts. The dish as a whole is usually called "satsivi". There are also vegetarian varieties made with aubergine or cauliflower.
A similar dish of boiled chicken with walnut paste is known as Circassian chicken in Turkey, the Levant, and Egypt. "Aquz" in the Caspian cuisine of Northern Iran is similar.

Ardah
|
Ardah (Arabic: العرضة) is a traditional dance in Saudi Arabia. It is also known as the national dance of Saudi Arabia. In this dance, men form two lines facing each other. They may carry swords or canes and dance to drums and poetry while holding the Saudi flag. The dance is also performed in other countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council.
Originally, the "ardah" was performed only by males of tribes of the Arabian Peninsula before going to war, but now it is done at celebrations, weddings, and national and cultural events, such as the Jenadriyah festival. Now, there are different types of ardah across the Arabian Peninsula.
Name of the dance.
The word "Ardah" comes from an Arabic word which means "to show" or "to parade." It was used to boost the morale or self-esteem of fighters before battles.
UNESCO says this dance is part of UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. They said this in 2015 and called the dance "Alardah Alnajdiyah" at the time.
History.
Ardah became important when Saudi Arabia was formed under King Abdulaziz Al Saud. It was a dance used before the start of battles, especially in Najd. After winning battles, it was called "the Najdi Ardah."
Ardah was important during the formation of Saudi Arabia, showing unity and strength (power). It's now an official parade, even involving the King of Saudi Arabia.
Performed before fights, Ardah got fighters ready for battle. Now, Saudis think of it as a reminder of war times. In December 2015, UNESCO said Saudi Ardah was a valuable part of the country's culture.
Variations.
Najdi Ardah is the most common type of "Ardah" in Saudi Arabia. It's also the most popular male folk dance in the country, often seen on Television. In the 21st century, the government renamed it to 'Saudi Ardah.' But, there are different kinds of Ardah in other regions of Saudi Arabia, like Najran, Asir, and Jizan, etc.
How to perform.
Before the dance starts, a poet calls out to start the dance. His poetic call is known as "Muharrabah" and it is called out along with rhythmic beats.
Ardah starts with a leader's loud call, surrounded by drummers. This call is like saying they are ready for war. As a reaction to this, everyone quickly gathers with swords and chanting. Then they line up, holding hands and ready to dance.

Piti (food)
|
Piti is a soup eaten in the South Caucasus and nearby and in Central Asia. It is cooked in the oven in individual glazed pots. They are called "piti" in Turkic languages. The soup is made with mutton and vegetables (tomatoes, potatoes, chickpeas) in saffron water to add flavour and colour. It is covered by a lump of fat, and cooked in a sealed pot. Piti is served in the pot, usually with another plate for eating the meat apart from the liquid. They may be eaten separately as a first course (soup with veg.) and second (meat) course.
Piti is a kind of "abgoosht", popular in Iran. In Armenia it is called "putuk", the Armenian word for pot.

First, the broth is served with the bread, and then the meat gets added to the broth and the side dish gets served. The main ingredients include lamb meat, mutton, tail fat chickpeas, potatoes, onions, dried alycha and saffron.
In Azerbaijan, piti is eaten in two steps. Firstly, bread is crumpled on a plate and spiced. Then the broth is poured over it. Secondly, more crumpled bread is added to the plate and the rest of the mutton fat, meat and vegetables are poured over it, mixed together, and eaten.

Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs
|
Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs is a smaller version of the Windows XP operating system made by Microsoft but made more efficient for older computers. It was released on the 8th of July 2006, around 2 years after Windows XP Service Pack 2 was released in August of 2004. The operating system is not designed for consumer use but it is able to do most of the things that a normal Windows XP system could do. The operating system stopped getting new things except security fixes on the 14th of April 2009 and stopped being given security fixes on the 8th of April 2014.
Hardware requirements.
Even though the operating system was made for older computers, the requirements are similar to Windows XP, but it is faster then Windows XP when running with a lower amount of megahertz on the CPU and fits with less HDD space due to the removal of programs such as Microsoft Paint and Microsoft Outlook. Microsoft does not think of it as a general-purpose operating system.

HEAT (ammunition)
|
HEAT (high-explosive anti-tank) is a type of ammunition that is used to destroy tanks and similar vehicles. HEAT ammunition consists of an explosive, propellant, firing system and case for the ammunition It is shaped like a bullet but it uses a cylinder for the tip instead of the tip being rounded or pointed. When the HEAT round hits a hard surface (like a tanks armour) it will explode. The cylinder tip of the HEAT round will focus the energy of the blast into a molten jet. This is called the Munroe effect. This molten jet is good at getting through lots of armour. Militaries often use this type of ammunition to destroy tanks.

Self-hating Jew
|
A Self-hating Jew is a Jew who is antisemitic.
Etymology.
The phrase “self-hating Jew” was created by Theodor Lessing in the 1930s. He was trying to figure out why Jewish intellectuals liked to criticize Judaism.
People accused of being self-hating Jews.
Saint Paul.
Some people think Saint Paul was a self-hating Jew who left his people and did bad things to other Jews. Others disagree.
Otto Weininger.
In 1903, Otto Weininger, a Jew who converted to Christianity, wrote a book called "Sex and Character" which called Judaism “the extreme of cowardliness” and Christianity "the highest expression of the highest faith". He complained that Judaism was too feminine, had bad ethics, and hurt family.
Adolf Hitler used some of Weininger’s ideas for his propaganda.
Use in Zionism.
In the 1930s and 1940s (and also later than that), Zionists called Jews who opposed Zionism “self-hating Jews.” Theodor Herzl used the phrase “anti-Semite of Jewish origin”.
Daniel Burros.
Daniel Burros was an American Jew who joined both the American Nazi Party (ANP) and the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). Both organizations are openly antisemitic, and Burros kept his Jewish identity a secret. After having joined the ANP in the 1950s, he left over conflicts with George Lincoln Rockwell and joined the Ku Klux Klan.
In 1965, despite receiving death threats, a journalist named McCandlish Phillips discovered that Burros was Jewish and wrote an article about it in the New York Times. Burros killed himself the same day the article was published.
Criticism of the Concept.
Self-styled Anti-Zionist Jews have criticized the concept of "self-hating Jews." They argue that this term is misused to accuse people of antisemitism.

Kurixalus odontotarsus
|
The serrate-legged small tree frog or serrated frilled tree frog ("Kurixalus odontotarsus") is a frog. It lives in China, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. People have seen it between 250 and 1500 meters above sea level.
This frog lives in forests and places where smaller woody plants grow. The tadpoles swim inditches or bodies of water that dry up for part of the year.
Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place. However, human beings cut down the forests where it lives to build farms and get wood to build with.

The Phoenician Women
|
The Phoenician Women (, "Phoinissai") is a play by Euripides. It is a tragedy using the same story as Aeschylus' play "Seven Against Thebes". The name of the play refers to the women in the Greek chorus. They are Phoenician women on their way to Delphi, but are trapped in Thebes by the war. In this play, the chorus does not play an important role in the plot. They show how ordinary people can be caught in the middle of a war. Patriotism is an important part of the play. Polynices talks a lot about his love for the city of Thebes, but has brought an army to destroy it. Creon is also forced to make a choice between saving the city and saving the life of his son.
Euripides wrote the play around 408 BC. During this time his home, Athens, suffered several military disasters.
The text.
The text of the play is very poor. Over the centuries there has been several additions, both large and small to the story. Some scholars even believe that the play was written by someone else after Euripides died, but copying his style. For more information about changes in the text, see Donald J. Mastronarde, "Phoenissae".
Other versions of the play.
The Phoenician Women of Euripides was produced in a classical Meitei language version of a play, called Hojang Taret. This was performed in many time in India of India, including at the Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Awards (META), 19th Bharat Rang Mahotsav, and the 8th Theatre Olympics.
