Dikē as Global World Order: An Orphic Inheritance in Aeschylus?
View through CrossRef
Abstract:
The figure of Dikē in Aeschylus is not exactly the same as in Hesiod: it has a cosmic dimension; it grants also afterlife to individuals, while not excluding salvation. These features match several Orphic fragments and testimonies, especially those quoted by Greek philosophers. Therefore, an Orphic influence on Aeschylus would make sense; moreover, beyond Orphism, an Indo-European inheritance should be considered.

EFFECTS OF DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO T-SHAPED SPUR DIKES ON FLOW PATTERN IN A 90 DEGREE BEND USING NUMERICAL MODEL
Spur dike is a type of flow control structure. Certain changes occur in flow pattern due to installation of a dike (especially a T-shaped spur dike). This paper studied the effects...
