Buffeting the waves.

>………. Two days and two nights he spent in struggling with the waves, though sore buffeted and almost spent, never giving himself up for lost, such confidence he had in that charm which he wore about his middle, and in the words of that divine bird. But the third morning the winds grew calm, and all the heavens were clear.
Then he saw himself nigh land, which he knew to be the coast of the Phaeacians, a people good to strangers, and abounding in ships, by whose favor he doubted not that he should obtain a passage to his own country. And such joy he conceived to his heart, as good sons have that esteem their father’s life dear, when long sickness has held him down to his bed, and wasted his body, and as length they see health return to the old man, with restored strength and spirits, in reward of their many players to the gods for his safety.
Ulysses, as he entered the city, wondered to see its magnificence, its markets, buildings, temples; its walls and ramparts; its trade and resort of men; its harbors for shipping which is the strength of the Phaeacian state. Until when he approached the palace and beheld its riches, the proportion of its architecture, its avenues, gardens, statues, fountains, he stood rant in admiration and almost forget his own condition in surveying the flourishing estate of others; but correcting himself, he passed on boldly into the inner apartment, where the king and queen were sitting at dinner with the peers Nausicaa having prepared them for his approach.
To them, humbly kneeling he made it his request, that since fortune had cast him naked upon their shores, they would take him into their protection and grant him conveyance by one of the ships, of which their great Phaeacian state had such good store, to carry him to his own country, Having to deliver to his request, to grace it with more humility, he went and sat himself down upon the hearth among the ashes, as the custom was in those days when any man would make a petition to the throne.
He seemed a petitioner of so great a state and of so superior a deportment that Aleinous himself arose to do him honor, and this he spake to his peers,__
“ Lords and counselors of Phaeacia, ye see this man, who he is we know not, that comes to us in the guise of a petitioner. He seems no mean one; but whoever he is, it is fit, since the gods have cast him upon our protection, that we grant him the rites of hospitality while he stays with us, and at his departure a ship well managed to convey so worthy a personage as he seems to be, in a manner suitable to his rank, to his own country.”
This counsel the peers with one consent approved; and wine and meat being sat before Ulysses, he ate and drunk, and gave the gods thanks who had stirred up the royal bounty of Alienous to aid him in that extremity. But not as you did he reveal to the king and queen who he was, or whence he had come; only in brief terms he related his being cast upon their shores, his sleep in the woods, and his meeting with the Princess Nausicaa; whose generosity, mingled with secretion, filled her parents with delight, as Ulysses in eloquent phrases adorned and commended her virtues.
But Alcinous humanely considering that the troubles which his guest had undergone required rest, as well as refreshment by food, dismissed him early in the evening to his chamber ; wherein a magnificent apartment Ulysses found a smoother bed, but not a sounder repose, than he had enjoyed the night before, when he slept upon leaves which he had scraped together in his necessity. Lord Tennyson...........................................................

turning from visiting his favorite Ethiopians described Ulysses plowing the waves, his domain. The sight of the man he so much hated for the sake of Polyphemus, his son, whose eye Ulysses had put out, set the god’s heart on fire; and snatching into his hand his horrid sea-scepter, the trident of his power, he smote the air and the sea, and conjured up all his black storms, the billows rolling up before the fury of all the winds that contended together in their mighty sport. Then the knees of Ulysses bent with fear, and then all his spirit was spent, and he wished that he had been among the number of his countrymen who fell before Troy, and had their funerals celibrated by all the Greeks, rather than to perish thus, where no man could mourn him or know him. As the thought these melancholy thoughts, a huge wave took him and washed him overboard. Ship and all were upset amidst the bellows, he strangling afar off clinging to her stern broken off which he yet held, her mast cracking in two with the fury of the gust of mixed winds that struck it. Sails and sail-yards fell into the deep, and he himself was long immersed underwater; nor could he get his head above, wave so, met with a wave , as if they strove which should depress him most, and the gorgeous garments gave him by Calypso * clung above him, and hindered his swimming.

•>………. During his wanderings, Ulysses visited the goddess Calypso in the island of Ogygia, and she offered him, immortality if he would remain with her. But he refused, wishing only to return to his wife Penelope………. At the stern of his solitary ship, Ulysses sat and steered right artfully. No sleep could seize his eyelids. He beheld the Pleiads, the Bear which is by some called the Wain, that moves around about Orion, and keep still above the ocean, and the slow-setting sign Bootes, which some name the Waggoner, Seventeen days he held his course, and on the eighteen the coast of Phaeacia was in sight. The figure of the land, as seen from the sea, was pretty and circular, and looked something like a shield..
Yet Neither for this, nor the overthrow of his ship, nor his own perilous condition, would he give up his drenched vessel, but, wrestling with Neptune, at length got hold of her again, and then sat in her hulk, insulting over death, which he had escaped. His ship, striving to live, floated at random, cuffed from wave to wave, hurled to and fro by all the winds; now Boreas tossed it to passed it to Eurus, and Eurus to the west wind, who kept up the horrid tennis. 

II,__The Sea-Birds’s Gift.

>………. The winds in their mad sport beheld Ino Leucothea, now a sea-goddess, but once a mortal; she with pity beheld Ulysses the mark of their fierce contention, and rising from the waves alighted on the ship, in shape like to the sea-bird which is called a cormorant. In her beak, she held a wonderful girdle made of sea-weeds which grow at the bottom of the ocean, and this she dropped at his feet. Then the bird spake to Ulysses and counseled him not to trust anymore to that fatal vessel against which Neptune had leveled his furious wrath, nor to those ill-befriending garments which Calypso had given him, but to quit both, it and them, and trust for his safety to swimming.
>………. “ And here,” said the seeming bird, “ take the girdle and tie about your middle. For it has virtue to protect the wearer at sea, and you shall safely reach the shore; but when you have landed cast it far from you back into the sea.”
He did as the sea-bird instructed him; he stripped himself and fastening the wondrous girdle about his middle.
Cast himself into the sea to swim. Then the bird dives past his sight into the fathomless abyss of the ocean.

Troy is a legendary city, the place where the Trojan War took place, as the Epic Cycle, and especially the Iliad, describes it. But, Troy is also a real location, an archeological site.

"goddess" src="1128.jpg">
, a goddess from Greek mythology, is the youngest of the three Fates, but one of the oldest goddesses in Greek mythology. She is a daughter of Zeus and Themis. Each fate has a certain job, whether it be measuring thread, spinning it on a spindle, or cutting the thread at the right length. Clotho is the spinner, and she spins the thread of human life with her distaff. The length of the string will determine how long a certain person's life will be. She is also known to be the daughter of Night, to indicate the darkness and obscurity of human destiny. No one knows for sure how much power Clotho and her sisters have, however; they often disobey the ruler, Zeus, and other gods. For some reason, the gods seem to obey them, whether because the fates do possess greater power, or as some sources suggest, their existence is part of the order of the Universe, and this the gods cannot disturb.

After all, when is the last time you heard someone rave about the interaction design, to release the pattern of the web to be published. Other way An Ajax application eliminates the start-stop-start-stop nature of interaction on the Web by introducing an intermediary—an Ajax engine—between the user and the server. It seems like adding a layer to the application would make it less responsive, but the opposite is true.
As he spoke he wielded his spear with still greater fury, and when any Trojan made towards the ships with fire at Hector's bidding, he would be on the look-out for him, and drive at him with his long spear. Twelve men did he thus kill in hand-to-hand fight before the ships.video clip
When he had thus spoken they charged full weight upon the Danaans with their spears held out before them, and the hopes of each ran high that he should force Ajax son of Telamon to yield up the body--fools that they were, for he was about to take the lives of many. Then Ajax said to Menelaus, "My good friend Menelaus, you and I shall hardly come out of this fight alive. I am less concerned for the body of Patroclus, who will shortly become meat for the dogs and vultures of Troy, than for the safety of my own head and yours. Hector has wrapped us round in a storm of battle from every quarter, and our destruction seems now certain. Call then upon the princes of the Danaans if there is any who can hear us."
Menelaus did as he said, and shouted to the Danaans for help at the top of his voice. "My friends," he cried, "princes and counsellors of the Argives, all you who with Agamemnon and Menelaus drink at the public cost, and give orders each to his own people as Jove vouchsafes him power and glory, the fight is so thick about me that I cannot distinguish you severally; come on, therefore, every man unbidden, and think it shame that Patroclus should become meat and morsel for Trojan hounds."
Instead of loading a webpage, at the start of the session, the browser loads an Ajax engine—written in JavaScript and usually tucked away in a hidden frame. This engine is responsible for both rendering the interface the user sees and communicating with the server on the user’s behalf. The Ajax engine allows the user’s interaction with the application to happen asynchronously—independent of communication with the server. So the user is never staring at a blank browser window and an hourglass icon, waiting around for the server to do something Hector on the other side set the Trojans in array. Thereon Neptune and Hector waged fierce war on one another--Hector on the Trojan and Neptune on the Argive side. Mighty was the uproar as the two forces met; the sea came rolling in towards the ships and tents of the Achaeans, but waves do not thunder on the shore more loudly when driven before the blast of Boreas, nor do the flames of a forest fire roar more fiercely when it is well alight upon the mountains, nor does the wind bellow with ruder music as it tears on through the tops of when it is blowing its hardest, than the terrible shout which the Trojans and Achaeans raised as they sprang upon one another.
Hector first aimed his spear at Ajax, who was turned full towards him, nor did he miss his aim. The spear struck him where two bands passed over his chest--the band of his shield and that of his silver-studded sword--and these protected his body. Hector was angry that his spear should have been hurled in vain, and withdrew under cover of his men. As he was thus retreating, Ajax son of Telamon, struck him with a stone, of which there were many lying about under the men's feet as they fought--brought there to give support to the ships' sides as they lay on the shore. Ajaxcaught up one of them and struck Hector above the rim of his shield close to his neck; the blow made him spin round like a top and reel in all directions. As an oak falls headlong when uprooted by the lightning flash of father Jove, and there is a terrible smell of brimstone--no man can help being dismayed if he is standing near it, for a thunderbolt is a very awful thing-- even so did Hector fall to earth and bite the dust. His spear fell from his hand, but his shield and helmet were made fast about his body, and his bronze armour rang about him.
. What’s new is the prominent use of these techniques in real-world applications to change the fundamental interaction model of the Web. Ajax is taking hold now because these technologies and the industry’s understanding of how to deploy them most effectively have taken time to develop.
Q. Is Ajax a technology platform or is it an architectural style?
A. It’s both. Ajax is a set of technologies being used together in a particular way.

Juno heeded his words and went from the heights of Ida to great Olympus. Swift as the thought of one whose fancy carries him over vast continents, and he says to himself, "Now I will be here, or there," and he would have all manner of things--even so swiftly did Juno wing her way till she came to high Olympus and went in among the gods who were gathered in the house of Jove who was first to come running up to her. "Juno," said she, "why are you here? And you seem troubled--has your husband the son of Saturn been frightening you?"

This article is about the Greek goddess. For other uses, see Aphrodite NO!,butAfter Hector died, Achilles tied the warrior's body to a chariot and dragged the body around Troy before the grief-stricken eyes of the Trojans. Then he dragged the body around the tomb of his friend Patroclus. When Achilles' fury and vengeance were finally satisfied, he left Hector's body on the ground to be devoured by dogs and birds of prey
The abuse of the dead Hector angered Zeus*, who sent a messenger to order Achilles to release the corpse to Priam. He also sent word to Priam to offer a ransom for the body to Achilles. Priam did so and begged the Greek warrior for his son's body. Moved by Priam's grief, Achilles agreed.
invincible too powerful to be conquered
Priam brought Hector's body back to Troy, and an 11-day truce allowed the Trojans to arrange an elaborate funeral to mourn their great warrior. Hector's funeral marks the conclusion of the Iliad, as well as the beginning of the end for the Trojans. They later suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of the Greeks. After the fall of Troy, the Greeks killed Hector's son Astyanax, fearing that he might try to avenge his father's death. Thereafter, the surviving Trojans honored Hector as one of their greatest heroes.With these words she took Mars back to his seat. Meanwhile Juno called Apollo outside, with Iris the messenger of the gods. "Jove," she said to them, "desires you to go to him at once on Mt. Ida; when you have seen him you are to do as he may then bid you."
Thereon Juno left them and resumed her seat inside, while Iris and Apollo made all haste on their way. When they reached many-fountained Ida, mother of wild beasts, they found Jove seated on topmost Gargarus with a fragrant cloud encircling his head as with a diadem. They stood before his presence, and he was pleased with them for having been so quick in obeying the orders his wife had given them.
He spoke to Iris first. "Go," said he, "fleet Iris, tell King Neptune what I now bid you--and tell him true. Bid him leave off fighting, and either join the company of the gods, or go down into the sea. If he takes no heed and disobeys me, let him consider well whether he is strong enough to hold his own against me if I attack him. I am older and much stronger than he is; yet he is not afraid to set himself up as on a level with myself, of whom all the other gods stand in awe."
Iris, fleet as the wind, obeyed him, and as the cold hail or snowflakes that fly from out the clouds before the blast of Boreas, even so did she wing her way till she came close up to the great shaker of the earth. Then she said, "I have come, O dark-haired king that holds the world in his embrace, to bring you a message from Jove. He bids you leave off fighting, and either join the company of the gods or go down into the sea; if, however, you take no heed and disobey him, he says he will come down here and fight you. He would have you keep out of his reach, for he is older and much stronger than you are, and yet you are not afraid to set yourself up as on a level with himself, of whom all the other gods stand in awe."
Neptune was very angry and said, "Great heavens! strong as Jove may be, he has said more than he can do if he has threatened violence against me, who am of like honour with himself. We were three brothers whom Rhea bore to Saturn--Jove, myself, and Hades who rules the world below. Heaven and earth were divided into three parts, and each of us was to have an equal share. When we cast lots, it fell to me to have my dwelling in the sea for evermore; Hades took the darkness of the realms under the earth, while air and sky and clouds were the portion that fell to Jove; but earth and great Olympus are the common property of all. Therefore I will not walk as Jove would have me. For all his strength, let him keep to his own third share and be contented without threatening to lay hands upon me as though I were nobody. Let him keep his bragging talk for his own sons and daughters, who must perforce obey him."
Iris fleet as the wind then answered, "Am I really, Neptune, to take this daring and unyielding message to Jove, or will you reconsider your answer? Sensible people are open to argument, and you know that the Erinyes always range themselves on the side of the older person."
Neptune answered, "Goddess Iris, your words have been spoken in season. It is well when a messenger shows so much discretion. Nevertheless it cuts me to the very heart that any one should rebuke so angrily another who is his own peer, and of like empire with himself. Now, however, I will give way in spite of my displeasure; furthermore let me tell you, and I mean what I say-- if contrary to the desire of myself, Minerva driver of the spoil, Juno, Mercury, and King Vulcan, Jove spares steep Ilius, and will not let the Achaeans have the great triumph of sacking it, let him understand that he will incur our implacable resentment."
