The Children of Herakles (Greek Tragedy in New Translations)

Dramas & Plays

Oxford University Press

One of the shortest plays in Greek drama, The Children of Herakles offers enough action for two or three plays of normal length. But this very richness and complexity have made the play elusive, subject to dismissive readings, and extraordinarily difficult to translate; in consequence, it has suffered from neglect over the ages. This vibrant new translation makes clear that The Children of Herakles is actually a wonderfully well-crafted work of art, a play offering a wealth of rewards to the modern reader. It is a play about war and the effects of war within the state. Herakles, the legendary hero cursed from birth, was never permitted a triumphant homecoming. Here, his descendants continue the effort to return home, seeking asylum from the persecution of the king who had imposed on Herakles the famous twelve labors. While it pursues concepts of deep moral grandeur, it ends with a denouement of astonishing physical and ethical brutality, and affords Euripides a severe comment on what he believed was the decline of the Athenian character.

Criminology Explains School Bullying (Volume 2)

In this book, Robert A. Brooks and Jeffrey W. Cohen provide a concise, targeted overview of the major criminological theories to explain the phenomenon of school bullying, bringing&nbsp;to life what is often dense and confusing material with concrete case examples.&nbsp;Criminology Explains School Bullying is a valuable resource in criminology or juvenile delinquency classes, as well as special-topics classes on school violence, bullying, or the school-to-prison pipeline. Charts, critical thinking questions, and implications for practice and policy illuminate real-world applications, making this is a go-to book for teachers, students, and researchers interested in an empirically driven synthesis of criminological theory as it applies to school bullying.

This beautifully illustrated wallchart (48' x 36') is a comprehensive family tree of the Greek gods, goddesses, heroes, and heroines from the time of Creation through the generation of the Trojan War. In addition to complete genealogical information, the chart provides brief synopses of the myths attached to each figure and the circumstances that brought the heroes of different houses together in companionship or enmity: the Trojan War, the expedition of the Argonauts, the War of the Seven against Thebes and the Epigoni, the Calydonian Boar Hunt, and the exploits of Hercules. Twenty-seven color illustrations from classical vase paintings complement the chart's text.

Is bullying an innocent part of growing up ... or a serious problem requiring large-scale policy remedies? What is behind our rapidly changing perceptions of "acceptable" behavior? And when is the remedy worse than the problem? In their in-depth view of school bullying, Jeffrey Cohen and Robert Brooks navigate between empirical evidence and breathless media accounts to make sense of ongoing debates and provide insights into the failure of punitive antibullying policies.
