| | Prometheus, Pandora, and the Five Ages |
| | Taken together, what do you think the sequence of myths in Hesiod--Prometheus, sacrifice, theft of fire, creation of woman, Prometheus' punishment, and the five ages of man--say about the relations between men and gods? | | | If you were Perses, would the story of the five ages help you "listen to Justice" and "don't cultivate Violence [ hubris ]" (30)? | | | Should Prometheus be seen as an arrogant deceiver of Zeus (as Hesiod sees him) or as a champion of mankind's rights, privileges, and place in the scheme of things? |

| | Renaissance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Italian Renaissance was intertwined with the intellectual movement known as Renaissance humanism and with the fiercely independent and combative urban societies of the city-states of central and northern Italy in the 13th to 16th centuries. | | | For example: marxist historians view the Renaissance as a pseudo-revolution with the changes in art, literature, and philosophy affecting only a tiny minority of the very wealthy and powerful while life for the great mass of the European population was unchanged from the Middle Ages. | | | In the traditional view, the Renaissance is understood as an historical age that was preceded by the Middle Ages and followed by the Reformation. |

| | MEDIEVAL WOMEN - Scriptorium: The six Ages of the World |
| | And lastly, in the sixth age, Christ was born of a Virgin; as on the sixth day the first-made man was formed from the virgin earth. | | | For in the first age, Adam was on the sixth day formed from the earth his mother, without an earthly father; in the likeness of God: and in the last age of the world, by Christ born of an earthly mother, without an earthly father, man was re-formed to the same image of God. | | | Next, in the fourth age, the kingdom of David flourished in that earthly Jerusalem, prefiguring the kingdom of Christ and of the Church: for of his seed the same Christ was born, Who spiritually reigning in His Church, shall in due time gloriously crown her for her obedience. |

| | Articles - Six Ages of the World |
| | The Ages reflect the seven days of creation, of which the last day is the rest of the Sabbath, illustrating the human journey to find eternal rest with God, a common Christian narrative. | | | The outline accounts for seven ages, just as there are seven days of the week, with the seventh age being eternal rest after the final judgement and end times, just as the seventh day of the week is reserved for rest. | | | While the exact age of the earth was a matter of biblical interpretive debate, it was generally agreed man was somewhere in the last and final thousand years, the Sixth Age, and the final seventh age could happen at any time. |

| | MODERN PHILOSOPHY: Humanism and the Renaissance |
| | Neo-Platonism was the heritage which the Renaissance passed on to the following ages; these in turn developed the germs of immanentism contained in it. | | | But he distinguished simple faith from the spirit of inquiry, and declared that philosophical thoughts must not influence man's behavior as a faithful Christian and member of the Catholic Church. | | | Montaigne makes man the center of reference and of coordination as regards the experiences of nature, and his discussion of every question concludes with the expression, "I don't know." Outside proper individual concreteness everything is uncertain, and hence must be regarded with benevolent tolerance. |

| | The Six Days of Creation |
| | Day-age creationists believe and teach that there are six ages set forth in Genesis one, each age representing aeons of time. | | | Therefore, in view of Adam's age at death, the seven days of Genesis one could not have been long periods of time (millions of years, according to some). | | | Adam and Eve lived through day six and day seven (if the six days are ages, then day seven would also be an age, more later). |

| | Leonardo da Vinci: Renaissance Man Extraordinarie |
| | During the Middle Ages the Church was the principle customer of art. | | | These ideas challenged the religious dogma that dominated the Middle Ages, such as that man's earthly life is merely to redeem himself from his sinful nature, so that he may enter the next and "perfect" world. | | | Reborn were individual self-consciousness and the conviction that man's life was worthy of study, could be understood, and should be approached as an art. |

| | The Five Ages of Man |
| | It was an age of perfection, of innocence and happiness, in which truth and justice prevailed, not through, force, or power, but through man’s natural goodness. | | | With the world in such a state, one can hardly blame Zeus for his descision to drown the world and its inhabitants – only the fear of setting heaven itself ablaze kept him from starting a fire – and to create a new world and race. | | | Houses – not necessary in the golden age had to be built, and labour became necessary for man and animal because nature no longer gave its treasures for the asking. |

| | The Crucified by Kahlil Gibran |
| | Today, and on this same day of each year, man is startled from his deep slumber and stands before the phantoms of the Ages, looking with tearful eyes toward Mount Calvary to witness Jesus the Nazarene nailed on the Cross. | | | He did not persuade the strong man to become a monk or a priest, but he came to send forth upon this earth a new spirit, with power to crumble the foundation of any monarchy built upon human bones and skulls. | | | That had to be absolutely one of the most beautiful expressions of homage and faith that i've ever witnessed. |

| | Commonweal : The Coming Conclave |
| | This was not without precedent: during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, servants working in the conclave sometimes scribbled names of candidates with their vote tallies on the bottoms of dirty dishes, which they handed outside so the people of Rome-and especially bookies-could follow along. | | | If a nonordained man is selected, he must immediately be ordained priest and then bishop, with his succession to the papacy turning on the moment of his episcopal ordination. | | | Voting then follows, with two sets of ballots cast in the morning and two in the afternoon, though there will probably be just one ballot in the afternoon of the first day. |

| | Fall of Constantinople - encyclopedia article about Fall of Constantinople. |
| | In the approximately 1,000 years of the existence of the Byzantine Empire The Byzantine Empire is the term conventionally used to describe the Greek-speaking Roman Empire during the Middle Ages, centred at its capital in Constantinople. | | | Ever since the mutual excommunication of the Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches in 1054, the Roman Catholic west had been trying to re-integrate the east; the west now used this as a negotiating tactic, promising to send help if the Byzantines brought their church back into communion with Rome. | | | Scholars consider the Fall of Constantinople as a key event ending the Middle Ages and starting the Renaissance because of the end of the old religious order in Europe and the use of cannon and gunpowder. |
