The Persian Legacy and the Edgar Cayce Material by Kevin J Todeschi

In this study Dr Smith investigates the use of political personifications in the visual arts of Athens in the Classical period (480-323 BCE). Whether on objects that served primarily private roles (e.g. decorated vases) or public roles (e.g. cult statues and document stelai), these personifications represented aspects of the state of Athens--its people, government, and events--as well as the virtues (e.g. Nemesis, Peitho or Persuasion, and Eirene or Peace) that underpinned it. Athenians used the same figural language to represent other places and their peoples. This is the only study that uses personifications as a lens through which to view the intellectual and political climate of Athens in the Classical period.

KEVIN J. TODESCHI is the author of twenty-five books, and a popular lecturer who has spoken on five continents to thousands of individuals. He is also the Executive Director and CEO of the Edgar Cayce work (www.EdgarCayce.org). An ark enthusiast for more than 30 years, he first became fascinated with the Noah story while reading the Genesis account and realizing that Methuselah, the oldest man in the Bible, had been Noah's grandfather and had died the year of the Flood. Eventually, Todeschi would write his master's thesis on The Ark Myth, bringing together scripture, religious scholarship, metaphysics, and myth. All he came to know of this epic tale has been woven together to form THE REST OF THE NOAH STORY.
