Leonel Anglian was born of greatness he never wanted. So he threw it away for his freedom. Leo's father and grandfather, Daleon and Leoric Anglian, were paragons of their era, great warrior-generals of Ellaria who helped free the southern kingdom of Rolanse from the unstoppable orc invasion during the Rolanse Liberation War. Leo's path was set for him to follow in their footsteps to become the next great warrior of Ellaria. Until his grandfather died, and his father was cast out in exile for trying to free the very orcs he fought against. Leo's mother, left alone to raise him, died of illness not long after. Across the sea, Kaejic Bloodwolf, orc Chieftain of the Bloodwolf tribe, fights with every breath for greatness. Kaejic seeks to restore honor to his people, to face the Anglian family in combat and pave the way for his people's return to their homeland they had fled from, cast out by the human kingdoms after the Rolanse Liberation war. On the day Leo's mother died, Leo decided he didn't give a damn about legacy or greatness. He threw away his place in Ellarian court, his fear, and all his worries, only seeking to enjoy his life. Even if life was a ruthless bastard. Leo became an excavator, someone who digs up relics of the Ancients to sell to the Cantry church, in order to explore the world and try to uncover the vast buried secrets of the Ancients that all cultures of Demarest sought after, the forgotten histories of their ancestors. And it hasn't been going very well. He and his companions in the Stonewright Excavation company spend most of their time flat broke, traveling from place to place trying to dig up something of value in long-picked over digsites. But Leo has been loving every carefree minute of it all the same. Until the day Leo stumbles onto a buried Chapel of the Ancients that hadn't been seen for thousands of years. And within it, an ancient tome that would shake the very foundations of civilization, rewriting the history that had been known to all the kinsmen of the world. And with that tome, Leo is awakened to the true history of the Ancients, and to the darkness lurking in the shadows of his world. Kaejic Bloodwolf, seeing visions of standing face to face with Leonel Anglian and his people's return to their homeland, is coming to find him. The hunt for these ancient tomes, and for Leo himself, begins.

The suggestion that the New Testament contains citations of early Christological hymns has long been a controversial issue in New Testament scholarship. As a way of advancing this facet of New Testament research, Matthew E. Gordley examines the Colossian hymn (Col 1:15-20) in light of its cultural and epistolary contexts. As a result of a broad comparative analysis, he claims that Col 1:15-20 is a citation of a prose-hymn which represents a fusion of Jewish and Greco-Roman conventions for praising an exalted figure. A review of hymns in the literature of Second Temple Judaism demonstrates that the Colossian hymn owes a number of features to Jewish modes of praise. Likewise, a review of hymns in the broader Greco-Roman world demonstrates that the Colossian hymn is equally indebted to conventions used for praising the divine in the Greco-Roman tradition. In light of these hymnic traditions of antiquity, the analysis of the form and content of the Colossian hymn shows how the passage fits well into a Greco-Roman context, and indicates that it is best understood as a quasi-philosophical prose-hymn cited in the context of a paraenetic letter. Finally, in view of ancient epistolary and rhetorical theory and practice, an analysis of the role of the hymn in Colossians suggests that the hymn serves a number of significant rhetorical functions throughout the remainder of the letter.

A rich source for students of Greek mythology and literature, the Homeric hymns are also fine poetry. Attributed by the ancients to Homer, these prooimia, or preludes, were actually composed over centuries and used by poets to prepare for the singing or recitation of longer portions of the Homeric epics. In his acclaimed translations of the hymns, Apostolos Athanassakis preserves the essential simplicity of the original Greek, offering a straightforward, line-by-line translation that makes no attempts to masquerade or modernize. For this long-awaited new edition, Athanassakis enhances his classic work with a comprehensive index, careful and selective changes in the translations themselves, and numerous additions to the notes which will enrich the reader's experience of these ancient and influential poems.
