When Zozimos is banished by an evil witch (his stepmother!) from the kingdom of Sticatha-the kingdom he was next in line to rule-he trains at battle (if you call chasing after butterflies training), travels across stormy seas (thanks for that, Poseidon), slays golems and monsters (with a lot of help), charms beautiful women (not really), and somehow (despite his own ineptitude) survives quest after quest. By the love of Zeus, though, none of it brings him any closer to home! It does, however, make for one quirky, original, giggle-provoking graphic novel sure to appeal to any kid interested in Greek mythology, or merely looking for an entertaining read.

Greek tragedy has never been so funny Zozimos'' journey to the kingdom of Sticatha has been anything but smooth. He''s survived enslavement, battled golems and a ravenous Cyclops, and generally served as plaything to gods and goddesses looking for a good laugh. All for the sake of reclaiming the Sticathan royal throne--stolen from him by an evil witch, aka his stepmother. You''d think that a stickman would catch a break after all that, but you''d be wrong. Arriving home only brings crazy family members and a return trip to sea, where mercenary centaurs and giant boar gods keep Zozimos questing and readers laughing. It would all be an epic tragedy if it wasn''t so funny.

"This fresh, comprehensive study of ancient Greek atheism aims to dismantle the current consensus that atheism was ''unthinkable'' in ancient Greece, demonstrating instead that atheism was not only thinkable but inextricably embedded in the Greek religious environment. Through careful analysis of a wide range of source material provided in modern English translation, and drawing on philosophy, theology, sociology, and other disciplines, Ford unpicks a two and a half thousand-year history of marginalisation, clearing the way for a new analysis. He lays out in clear terms the nature and form of ancient Greek atheism as the ancient Greeks conceived of it, through a series of themes and lenses. Topics such as religious socialisation, the interaction of atheist philosophy and theology, identity formation through alterity, and the use of atheism in scapegoating are considered not only in broad terms, using a synthesis of modern scholarship to mark out an overview in line with modern consensus, but also by drawing on the unique perspective of ancient atheism Ford is able to provide innovative theories about a range of subjects. Atheism at the Agora is of interest to students and scholars in Classics, particularly Greek religion and culture, as well as those studying atheism in other historical and contemporary areas, religious studies, philosophy, and theology"--

Les marxistes ukrainiens ont joué un rôle de premier plan dans la révolution ukrainien. Organisés au sein du Parti ouvrier social-démocrate ukrainien, ils ont construit un Parti communiste ukrainien indépendant – les Ukapisty – qui rivalisait avec les communistes russes et les nationalistes ukrainiens dans leur quête pour une République socialiste ukrainienne indépendante. Dominant une section de l''Armée Rouge, ils ont mené une révolte pro-soviétique en 1919 même plus grande que le soulèvement de Cronstadt. Leur lutte avait des ramifications internationales et gagna le soutien de la Hongrie soviétique. Ces événements aidaient à décider le sort des révolutions en Europe. Les Ukapisty étaient le dernier parti d''opposition légal en URSS avant leur liquidation en 1925. Ce volume éclairant comprend une sélection de documents originaux pour la première fois en langue française. Cela fournit aux lecteurs des textes essentiels des marxistes ukrainiens, de leurs considérations sur la question nationale aux réflexions sur la révolution, en passant par leurs tentatives de comprendre la tragédie en cours de la révolution en retraite.
