The ideal Greek hero was a nobleman distinguished by bravery and merit in war, where they could demonstrate excellence and win glory. Myths featured gods and goddesses while legends centered on human heroes from a golden age when men and gods interacted. Common motifs in heroic myths included miraculous births, journeys, rewards for valor, responsibility for a friend's death, and great strength. Some major Greek heroes included Perseus who killed the Gorgon Medusa, Heracles who performed twelve labors, and Theseus who slew the Minotaur.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. The Ideal Greek Hero We use the term hero very broadly. For us a hero is someone who stands out from others, someone distinguished by prominence, bravery, or merit. For the Greeks however, the term hero had a much more specific meaning. The hero might be a king or he might be a warrior; he was always a nobleman. The prestige of the hero often depended upon his achievements and the public recognition of these (kudos). War and its associated actions were an ideal opportunity to show the Greek quality of arete (excellence) and the winning of kleos (glory).
3. Myth or Legend? In divine myths, the principal characters are gods and goddesses, but in legends, the protagonists are human characters. While gods and goddesses often play a role, legends are chiefly stories about heroes, stories that purport to narrate events from the human past. Both myths and legends tend to be in the context of a “golden age”, a time when men and gods walked side by side.
4. Motifs In Heroic Myths The hero’s birth is miraculous or unusual. The hero goes on a long journey. The hero is rewarded with something of great value. The hero is responsible for his best friend’s death. The hero has great strength. The hero falls under the enemy’s power and is compelled to perform impossible labours in order to claim his rightful inheritance. The hero breaks a taboo, and a terrible price is demanded. The hero resists the temptations of an irresistible but dangerous woman.
5. Genealogies Cecrops + Aglaurus Erysichthon Aglaurus + Ares Herse + Hermes Pandrosus Alcippe + Eupalamus Procris + Cephalus + Eos Polycaste Daedalus + Slave girl Phaethon Predix Icarus The genealogies of the Greek heroes were important as the Greeks believed that such legendary figures really had existed and members of important families regarded themselves as having descended from them. Alexander the Great, for example, claimed he could trace his ancestry back to Achilles, Heracles and Zeus.
6. The Function of Legends Like myth, legends served a specific function in that they explained certain rituals / customs, and often gave an example of how / how not to act. While Greek heroes were often stronger, more intelligent, more beautiful, and more favoured by the gods than the average person, almost all had serious character flaws.
7. Perseus Son of Danae and Zeus (Zeus “visited” Danae as a shower of gold). Mother and son banished after an oracle said the son of Danae would kill her father Acrisius. With the help of Athena and Hermes (who gave him a sickle, bag, cap of darkness for invisibility and winged shoes), Perseus killed the Gorgon Medusa, a monster with serpents for hair who turned anyone who looked at her to stone.
8. Heracles The greatest of Greek heroes, Heracles was the son of Alcmene and Zeus (Zeus “visited” Alcmene in the form of her husband). Heracles was harassed by Hera for being the illegitimate offspring of Zeus. Most famous for his 12 labours. Upon his death, Heracles was made immortal. Despite being a hero, Heracles had many character flaws, particularly hubris (excessive pride).
9. Theseus The son of Aethra and Poseidon. His ‘father’ Aegeus placed sandals and a sword under a rock. When Theseus could lift the rock and retrieve the articles, he would prove he was the rightful king of Athens. Theseus’ major achievement was travelling to Crete and killing the Minotaur (half bull, half man), escaping from the labyrinth using a thread given to him by Ariadne.
10. Jason Son of Aeson and Alcimede . Brought up by the Centaur Chiron in Thessaly. Most famous for being the leader of the Argonauts in their quest for the golden fleece. Jason is sent on the expedition by his Uncle who has taken over the throne which is rightfully Jason’s. Jason is aided by Aphrodite and Hera and Pelias’ (owner of the fleece) daughter Medea. He later abandons Medea who kills their children and new wife (subject of Euripides’ Medea).
11. Oedipus Son of Laius and Jocasta, who kills his father and marries his mother thus fulfilling a prophecy given before his birth. Also famous for ridding the city of Thebes of the man-eating Sphinx by solving its riddle. Oedipus blinds himself when he discovers the truth by stabbing himself in the eyes with Jocasta’s combs. Oedipus was a favourite subject for many Greek playwrights. Sophocles wrote ‘King Oedipus’, ‘Oedipus at Colonus’, and ‘Antigone’, while Euripides wrote ‘Oedipus’.
12. Achilles Son of Peleus (a mortal) and Thetis (a sea nymph). Achilles is the ultimate Homeric hero, carrying the savage ethical code of revenge to its terrifying conclusion in the Illiad. To make him immortal, Thetis held Achilles over a fire to burn away his mortality. His only ‘weakness’ was the heel by which she holds him. Achilles is eventually killed by Paris and Apollo, thus fulfilling the prophecy that he would die if he went to Troy.
