Spirit of Heroes Book 3 of the Heroes Series Noah "No" Argentar is the new leader of the group of heroes known as The Faction. They have defeated the Nephilim, but the Great Tribulation has begun and an even more dangerous enemy is now loose in the world - the dark gods. No's investigation of a string of seemingly unsolvable rabbi murders leads him back into contact with his estranged father. The young hero discovers there was more to his father's life than he could ever have imagined. The story of their ancestor, the patriarch Levi and his association with The Faction may hold the key to the plans of the dark gods. Walter Wilson is a disturbed teen who has been fighting invisible battles. No has already recruited two new troublesome members into The Faction, but Walter may prove to be the most dangerous of them all. Meanwhile, an alien race has been contacting Sabrina in her dreams. As she struggles to understand their history, she must determine if they're friend or foe. She knows it won't be long until they want something from her. Ultimately, No, Sabrina, and the rest of The Faction must confront the greatest riddle mankind has never solved - why was Lucifer convinced he could conquer heaven and could the dark gods succeed where Lucifer failed?

Girls and Women in Classical Greek Religion by Matthew Dillon Pdf

It has often been thought that participation in fertility rituals was women's most important religious activity in classical Greece. Matthew Dillon's wide-ranging study makes it clear that women engaged in numerous other rites and cults, and that their role in Greek religion was actually more important than that of men. Women invoked the gods' help in becoming pregnant, venerated the god of wine, worshipped new and exotic deities, used magic for both erotic and pain-relieving purposes, and far more besides. Clear and comprehensive, this volume challenges many stereotypes of Greek women and offers unexpected insights into their experience of religion. With more than fifty illustrations, and translated extracts from contemporary texts, this is an essential resource for the study of women and religion in classical Greece.

Ex-Patriots by Peter Clines Pdf

The second novel in Peter Clines' bestselling Ex series. It's been two years since the plague of ex-humans decimated mankind. Two years since the superheroes St. George, Cerberus, Zzzap, and Stealth gathered Los Angeles’s survivors behind the walls of their fortress, the Mount. Since then, the heroes have been fighting to give the Mount’s citizens hope, and something like a real life. But now supplies are growing scarce, the zombies are pressing in . . . and the heroes are wondering how much longer they can hold out. Then hope arrives in the form of a surviving US Army battalion--and not just any battalion. The men and women of the Army's Project Krypton survived the outbreak because they are super-soldiers, created before mankind's fall to be better, stronger, faster than normal humans--and their secure base in Arizona beckons as a much needed refuge for the beleaguered heroes and their charges. But a dark secret lies at the heart of Project Krypton, and those behind it wield an awesome and terrifying power.

New Heroes in Antiquity by Christopher P. Jones Pdf

Heroes and heroines in antiquity inhabited a space somewhere between gods and humans. In this detailed, yet brilliantly wide-ranging analysis, Christopher Jones starts from literary heroes such as Achilles and moves to the historical record of those exceptional men and women who were worshiped after death. He asks why and how mortals were heroized, and what exactly becoming a hero entailed in terms of religious action and belief. He proves that the growing popularity of heroizing the dead—fallen warriors, family members, magnanimous citizens—represents not a decline from earlier practice but an adaptation to new contexts and modes of thought. The most famous example of this process is Hadrian’s beloved, Antinoos, who can now be located within an ancient tradition of heroizing extraordinary youths who died prematurely. This book, wholly new and beautifully written, rescues the hero from literary metaphor and vividly restores heroism to the reality of ancient life.
