At age fifteen, he was adopted by Emperor Antoninus Pius, putting him in the line of succession; and at 40, Marcus became a reluctant emperor of the Roman Empire.Marcus was reluctant because the demands of being emperor - on top of the temptations of wealth and power - seemed incompatible with his true ambition: to be a humble student of philosophy. Over time, though, Marcus worked out a practical philosophy that kept him grounded amidst the stresses and excesses of palace life. That's why his philosophy is so relevant to us today, in the modern world.The Meditations is a collection of Marcus' personal journal entries. They were not intended for publication but to remind Marcus himself of his principles and priorities. As a result, they are intimate, direct, and extremely useful. This new edition is rendered in contemporary English, with a foreword by Sam Torode. A companion volume, The Manual: A Philosopher's Guide to Life, is also available from Ancient Renewal.

PublicationsRatings: 5 of 5 out of 10 votesGenres: Classics, Greek & RomanPublisher's Summary:When it comes to classic literature, Histories by Herodotus is one of the masterpieces. In this classic, Herodotus tells of how a group of Greek states banded together to defeat the mighty Persian Empire. Throughout the story, Herodotus includes colorful descriptions of Egypt, as well as tales of lake dwellers in Europe and even a dog that can heal the ill and ants that dig gold from the earth. Although the line between fact and legend is blurred in this account, Herodotus does provide some interesting insight into the way ancient Greeks viewed the world around them.Born in Halicarnassus in about the fifth century, Herodotus is known as the father of history. He was the first person known to collect and record history in a systematic way. Although there are questions as to the accuracy of his histories, Herodotuss accounts do provide snapshots of that time period in history.

For centuries they have been read, studied and discussed via the flat pages of books, but the ideal medium for them is the spoken word. Some are genuine dialogues while some are dialogues reported by a narrator supposedly at a later date.Ukemi Audiobooks presents all of the Socratic Dialogues in a series of recordings divided into Early Period (Volumes 1 & 2), Middle Period (Volumes 1 & 2) and Late Period (Volume 1) - based on their likely composition by Plato. This opening volume starts with perhaps the most famous speech, The Apology, Socrates' doomed defence against the charge of heresy and corrupting the young. It is followed by Crito, in which Socrates' friend offers to spirit him out of Athens to avoid execution. Among the others are discussions on Courage (Laches), and Friendship (Lysis).The role of Socrates is taken by David Rintoul, a widely admired and experienced audiobook reader who studied philosophy at university before taking a different path to RADA, TV, theatre and film. He is joined by a broad range of readers, most known to Audible listeners. Each Dialogue is prefaced with a short introduction to set the scene for newcomers to Plato.Translation: Benjamin Jowett.

Her mouth was gagged to stop her cursing her father, her cowardly, two-tongued father. Nonetheless, they heard her muffled screams.'On the day of his daughter's wedding, Agamemnon orders her sacrifice. His daughter is led to her death, and Agamemnon leads his army into battle, where he is rewarded with glorious victory. Three years later he returns home, and his murderous action has set the entire family - mother, brother, sister - on a path of intimate violence as they enter a world of hushed commands and soundless journeys through the palace's dungeons and bedchambers.As his wife seeks his death, his daughter, Electra, is the silent observer to the family's game of innocence while his son, Orestes, is sent into bewildering, frightening exile where survival is far from certain. Out of their desolating loss, Electra and Orestes must find a way to right these wrongs of the past, even if it means committing themselves to a terrible, barbarous act.House of Names is a story of intense longing and shocking betrayal. It is a work of great beauty and daring from one of our finest living writers.Critic Reviews:"Tóibín creates suspense out of the simplest emotions: fear, love and, most poignantly, regret." (Time)"If there is a more brilliant writer than Tóibín working today, I don't know who that would be." (The Irish Times)

Listen to this audiobook in full for free on http://hotaudiobook.com Title: The SatyriconAuthor: PetroniusNarrator: Nicholas BoultonFormat: UnabridgedLength: 6 hrs and 55 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 07-06-17Publisher: Ukemi AudiobooksRatings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votesGenres: Classics, Greek & RomanPublisher's Summary:Libidinous, licentious, salacious and very, very funny, The Satyricon is one of the most remarkable documents from ancient Rome. It tells the ribald story of Encolpius, a man of active and varied appetites (powered notably by his passion for his favourite lover, the handsome Giton), who plunges without inhibition into the life of Roman pleasures: orgies of food, feasting, abundant sex and escapades.The kind of hedonism found occasionally in Roman mosaics is here brought to life. In the feast at the house of Trimalchio we have an extraordinary account of a Roman banquet where dish after dish - each more extravagant than the last - is presented to the diners, who lie on their couches for course after course. And after all that they still find the energy to indulge in intense pleasures of a different kind. Again and again.There are historical questions around the author - Petronius (c27-66 CE), who lived during the time of Emperor Nero - and the text, which was originally much longer than the sections that have survived. This is of interest to academics but need not deter the enjoyment of the delightfully personal tale that has come down to us.Among the characters Encolpius encounters is Eumolpus, a poet philosopher whose extravagant (and loud) journeys into epic poetry attract the Roman equivalent of rotten tomatoes. Very, very funny. It must be said, however, that this is literature, aiming high. It presents an engaging picture of Roman low life: 'women hot after gladiators or dusty muleteers', old men casting glances (and more) at shapely youths, and an elaborate ceremony to Priapus in an attempt to restore lost vigour. But it does so with style and elegance, full of classical references to poetry, history and philosophy though often with dry, humorous asides.Not for the faint-hearted, The Satyricon is a delight from beginning to end, and especially in this hugely entertaining reading by Nicholas Boulton, which opens with a fascinating introduction to the work and its provenance.Translation: Alfred R. Allinson.

La voce narrante lascia infatti spazio ad ogni personaggio, ciascuno interpretato da un diverso attore o attrice, per offrire un'esperienza audio strutturata in maniera cinematografica. La favola, tratta dalle "Metamorfosi" (o "L'Asino d'oro") di Apuleio è stata scritta circa duemila anni fa, ma la sua brillantezza espositiva è così commovente e la ricchezza del suo contenuto così importante che è proprio da questa storia che prendono spunto molte delle fiabe antiche e moderne, come pure Biancaneve, Cenerentola e Alice nel paese delle meraviglie. Qui il figlio della dea Venere, chiamato Amore o Cupido, si innamora di una bellissima fanciulla mortale di nome Psiche, scatenando così l'ira di sua madre, la dea della bellezza. Ricca di significati simbolici e affascinante per l'intensità dei sentimenti è la descrizione allegorica dell'anima umana che per amore è disposta ad affrontare anche terribili prove, inabissandosi fino all'inferno per poi risalire all'Olimpo degli dèi. Psiche in greco antico significa infatti anima, soffio di vita, respiro che grazie all'amore può determinare il corso degli eventi e aspirare alla beatitudine eterna. Un racconto stupendo per adulti e bambini e che, in entrambi i casi, aiuta a crescere.©2017 GOODmood (P)2017 GOODmood

Kenney - translatorNarrator: David TimsonFormat: UnabridgedLength: 9 hrs and 5 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 06-27-17Publisher: Naxos AudioBooksRatings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votesGenres: Classics, Greek & RomanPublisher's Summary:"In this hapless state I looked myself over and saw that I was now no bird, but an ass...."In this ancient picaresque adventure, Lucius, an insatiably curious young man, finds himself transformed into a donkey after his fascination with black magic and witchcraft goes awry. While trapped in his new body, he becomes the property of thieves, farmers, cooks, soldiers, and priests, and observes the hypocrisy and ineptitude of Imperial Roman society. The Golden Ass is considered the only novel to survive the Roman period, and the earliest novel to survive complete in the Western literary tradition. It is brimming with slapstick humor and sexual escapades, and foreshadows later works by Boccaccio, Rabelais, Cervantes, and Chaucer, upon whom it was a direct influence.

The finest classic account comes from Apollonius of Rhodes, the Greek poet of the 3rd century BCE and librarian at Alexandria. Though less well-known than Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, and much shorter, it is an epic poem which is both exciting and moving, with remarkably vivid portraits of the main characters, Jason and Medea. In the hands of Apollonius, these are far from one-dimensional figures of ancient myth.Jason is a very human hero, forced to undertake the quest by a vengeful ruler, and though he leads a ship full of heroes - Heracles, Peleus, Caster and Polydeuces among them - he has moments of doubt and prevarication which he has to overcome in order to ultimately grasp the Golden Fleece. And Medea, a virgin witch possessing consummate skill with spells and an ability to be cruel, is shown here with some sympathy, for she is under the sway of the immortals Hera and Athena. Succumbing to their machinations and Eros's arrow, she finds herself on a dangerous path, flouting the will of her powerful father Aeetes, King of the Colchians, to help the Argonauts.And then there is the ship itself, Argo, wrought with the help of Athena to survive the challenges of a distant voyage past Scylla and Charybdis into the Black Sea. Apollonius weaves plot and poetry, courage and boldness, tenderness and sympathy, to fashion one of the greatest monuments of Western literature. R. C. Seaton's classic translation has been considerably revised for this recording by Nicolas Soames, and it is read with verve by Jonathan Keeble.

I suoi oppositori si sono asserragliati in Africa, e da lì preparano la riscossa. Così, dopo aver spazzato via la minaccia del re del Ponto, Farnace, e sedato la rivolta dei soldati, esasperati dai continui rinvii del loro congedo, il dittatore non ha altra scelta che andare ad affrontare i suoi nemici. La campagna africana si rivela durissima, anche perché Cesare è costretto a fare i conti con il suo stesso declino: la resistenza degli avversari, infatti, mette a nudo i limiti del suo comando, ormai logorato da anni di guerra e di lotte. Ancora una volta, tuttavia, grazie alla sua buona stella e soprattutto al concreto aiuto di chi lo sostiene - dal fedele germano Ortwin ai suoi luogotenenti più segreti -, il dittatore riesce a vincere la guerra, eliminare gran parte degli oppositori e tornare a Roma da trionfatore. Eppure, qualche nemico ancora sopravvive... Ed è in Spagna che avviene la resa dei conti tra il dittatore e chi ancora rifiuta di accettare il suo potere.

A Roma, tuttavia, gli avversari del grande condottiero, temendo il suo crescente potere, vogliono metterlo sotto processo, e persino il suo principale collaboratore e amico, Tito Labieno, lo ha abbandonato. Eppure, proprio quando sembra che l'unica scelta possibile sia rinunciare alle proprie ambizioni, Cesare getta il dado e sorprende tutti: varca il Rubicone con la sola XIII legione e muove verso Roma. Ai suoi nemici non resta che fuggire dall'Italia e lasciargli il possesso della penisola. Ma la guerra civile è solo agli inizi, così come la faida tra la guardia del corpo di Cesare, il germano Ortwin, e Quinto Labieno, il figlio di Tito. Dopo essersi fatto nominare dittatore, Cesare si trasferisce oltre l'Adriatico, per affrontare Pompeo e il suo imponente esercito. Mentre Ortwin e Quinto si scontrano sul campo di battaglia, anche per riconquistare l'amore della principessa Veleda, Cesare e Pompeo studiano le strategie per vincere la guerra. Finché a Farsalo, grazie a una mossa imprevedibile, il dittatore ottiene una clamorosa vittoria, diventando il padrone assoluto del mondo romano. La guerra però continua, e i destini di Tito e Quinto Labieno, Ortwin e Veleda sono ancora ben lontani dall'essere compiuti. >> Questo audiobook in edizione integrale vi è offerto in esclusiva per Audible ed è disponibile solamente in formato audio digitale.©2010 Newton Compton Editori S.r.l.

C., incontra per la prima volta Tito Labieno. I due si salvano la vita a vicenda, suggellando così un'amicizia destinata a durare nel tempo. Anche quando la carriera militare del grande condottiero prende avvio, dapprima in Spagna poi in Gallia, Labieno è al suo fianco, come principale comandante subalterno. Insieme, i due firmano strategie e compiono gesta straordinarie, agiscono in totale sintonia e sono, di fatto, invincibili. Ma mentre la Gallia, anno dopo anno, finisce sotto il tallone di Roma, nell'Urbe cresce la fazione anticesariana, che opera per separare i due indissolubili amici. Anche nello stesso esercito di Cesare c'è chi agisce per screditare Labieno e prenderne il posto; perfino il figlio di quest'ultimo, l'instabile Quinto, fa pressione sul padre perché acquisisca gloria per sé e non più solo per Cesare. E quando il futuro dittatore si dimostra pronto a tutto per difendere quelli che ritiene i propri diritti, Labieno è costretto a decidere da quale parte stare.

AD 50-135) was a former Roman slave (he was also lame in one leg, and walked with a crutch) who went on to become a great teacher. His philosophy, Stoicism, was practical, not theoretical - aimed at relieving human suffering here and now.The Manual is a collection of Epictetus' essential teachings and pithy sayings, compiled by one of his students. It is the most accessible and actionable guide to Stoic philosophy, as relevant today as it was in the Roman Empire.This new edition, published by Ancient Renewal, is rendered in contemporary English by Sam Torode.
