La diosa Ártemis (Diana en el mundo romano) fue la divinidad griega de la caza y de los parajes agrestes. Hija de Zeus y de Leto, fue la hermana melliza de Apolo y, como él, fue vengativa y justiciera. Diosa virgen, se la considero como protectora de la castidad, virtud que exigia a todas las componentes de su cortejo. Acompañada por su sequito de ninfas y por la jauria de sus hermosos lebreles recorria los montes y florestas de Laconia y Arcadia, haciendo gala de sus habilidades cinegeticas. Por haber ayudado a su madre Leto en el parto de su hermano Apolo, nada mas nacer ella, se la tenia por protectora de las mujeres encinta y de los alumbramientos. Su hermano Apolo se identificaba con el dios Sol y ella con la diosa Luna.En Oriente fue la diosa de la fecundidad y como tal se la veneraba en su famoso templo de la ciudad de Efeso. Los romanos la identificaron con la diosa Diana italica, cuyo principal santuario se encontraba en Capua.Su iconografia sufrio grandes cambios a traves del tiempo y, hasta el periodo clasico no se acuño su bella imagen de diosa cazadora, con jiton corto, con sandalias o ligeros botines, con arco, flechas y carcaj, tal y como prevalecio a partir de la epoca renacentista. Su bella imagen, asi vista, sirvio de fuente de inspiracion para toda suerte de creaciones artisticas: pinturas, esculturas y motivos ornamentales de fuentes y jardines.

Myth, Ritual and Religion (Vols. I & II) is Andrew Langs farranging inquiry into the origins and transformations of sacred narrative. Marrying classical learning to the new comparative anthropology, he tests the "solar myth" and evolutionary schools against folktale corpora, travelers reports, and ritual practice from Australia and the Americas to Greece and Scandinavia. Urbane, precise, and wry, his style combines scrupulous citation with close motif analysis and attention to totemism, taboo, and early "high gods." A Scottish classicist, folklorist, and journalist, Lang studied at St Andrews and Oxford and popularized ballads and fairy tales while engaging London learned societies. His distaste for armchair philology and his respect for ethnographic evidence inform his revisions: that moralized supreme beings may precede priesthoods and that myth resists reduction to a single physical allegory. Scholars and students of religion, folklore, and classical reception will find these volumes indispensable: a methodological primer and an encyclopedic archive in one. Read it to see Victorian debate at its sharpest, to sharpen your own comparative practice, and to encounter sacred stories with humane skepticism and durable curiosity.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

The Younger Edda, also known as Snorres Edda or The Prose Edda, is a cornerstone of Old Norse literature that meticulously preserves the rich tapestry of Norse mythology and poetic tradition. This seminal text, composed in the early 13th century, reflects a shift towards prose narrative in a culture steeped in oral tradition, presenting myths, gods, and heroic legends through an accessible yet sophisticated literary style. Its structure combines various elements, including mythological tales, wisdom literature, and metrical verse analysis, effectively serving both as a literary anthology and an educational guide for aspiring poets of the era. Written by the Icelandic historian and poet Snorri Sturluson, The Younger Edda emerged from a context of profound political and cultural change.

Al valorar a un individuo solo por aquello que posee, la sociedad consumista contemporánea se presenta como una caricatura de las descripciones ofrecidas por las diferentes corrientes budistas. El núcleo historico de la coherencia doctrinal budista parte de una constatacion sobre la avidez que caracteriza los actos de los hombres comunes. Los frutos mentales que producen crean mundos insatisfactorios. El proyecto budista consiste en liberar a los seres de este deseo nefasto, de un modo definitivo.
