Egyptian religion had ancient origins and lasted for at least 3,500 years. The Egyptians saw divinity in everything — in river, desert, and vegetation; in the sun, moon, and stars; in animals and kings; in birth and death. They created a vast and confusing multitude of gods.

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Traditional stories of
gods, kings, and heroes
Show the relations
between gods and
people
Mythology was a
form of early science
to Greeks because it
helped explain the
unexplainable.
3. Myths seek to explain all those unexplainable or
unknowable aspects of life.
Where do we go after we die?
How was the world created?
Why can we see our reflection in water?
Why are there four separate seasons?
Why do we fall in love?
How is lightning created?
Why do our voices sometime echo?
How was fire created, and why do we have it?
4. Fully developed by
about 700 B.C.
Homer and Hesiod
are generally
considered the
earliest Greek poets
whose work has
survived
5. Death is inevitable and final, so the goal was to become a
legend through great deeds.
The Greeks were tough, restless, ambitious, hard-living, and
imaginative.
Honor was extremely important, and the Greeks were very
vengeful if wronged.
The gods mirrored human feelings and physical form.
Their flaws were pride, cruelty, stubbornness, impulsiveness,
lust for power, and a desire to be like the gods.
6. First there was Chaos (vast
and unorganized space from
which all other things
originated).
Chaos gave birth to Gaea,
the earth, and Night, which
gave birth to day.
Gaea and Uranus (the sky)
gave birth to Cronus and
the other Titans, the
Cyclopes, one-eyed giants,
and the Hecatonchieres
with 50 heads and 100 arms
apiece.
7. In general, Greek gods were
divided into three categories:
Heaven
Earth
Sea
The Titans ruled before the
Gods of Olympus.
The Titans were the children of
Uranus (Heaven) and Gaea
(Earth) and the parents of the
Gods of Olympus.
The Titans were overthrown by
Olympians.
8. Cronus mutilated his father and overthrew him.
Cronus and Rhea married and produced the Olympians:
Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon.
Cronus swallowed them to keep from being overthrown. When Zeus
was born, Rhea gave her husband a rock to swallow. Zeus overthrew
his father Cronus and forced him to disgorge the other Olympians.
9. How did humans get fire?
Prometheus was the wisest Titan of all.
Prometheus is credited with bringing
enlightenment to humans. Prometheus stole
fire from the gods and gave it to humankind,
bringing the power of warmth and light to the
dark and miserable earth.
Prometheus acted against the express
wishes of the Olympian Gods, who wanted
to keep the power of fire - enlightenment -
for their exclusive use. For this Zeus
punished Prometheus by having him chained
to a rock with an eagle tearing at his liver.
