Kongeloven fra 1665 var et af de vigtigste retslige dokumenter under enevælden i Danmark. Loven fastsatte den kongelige arvefølge og var dermed med til at undgå de blodige stride, der ellers kunne opstå om tronen, når flere personer gjorde krav på den på én gang.A.D. Jørgensen fremlægger her Kongeloven i dens oprindelige form samt en indledning, der fortæller om dens historie. Noget af teksten står på tysk, andet på latin og endnu noget på dansk. Selve Kongeloven er gengivet på det oprindelige latin med dansk oversættelse ved siden af.Adolph Ditlev Jørgensen (1840-1897) var en dansk forfatter, historiker og rigsarkivar, der udgav en lang række bøger om Nordens historie. I løbet af sit liv modtog A.D. Jørgensen en lang række æresbevisninger. Han blev i 1882 medlem af Det kongelige danske Selskab for Fædrelandets Historie, og året efter blev han medlem af Videnskabernes Selskab. Han blev desuden udnævnt til kommandør af 2. grad af Dannebrog og æresdoktor af det Filosofiske Fakultet ved Københavns Universitet.

”I takt med at Romerriget blev udvidet til De Britiske Øer i nord og Afrika i syd, ville flere og flere af imperiets byer have en akvædukt. Udover at kunne ses i landskabet af forbipasserende gav akvædukten prestige til byen. Med rindende vand kunne borgerne fremvise fontæner og springvand, og mod betaling kunne byens velhavende overklasse få ført vand ind i deres villaer til private havebassiner og toiletter.”Romerriget var ikke bare sin tids største rige. Det var også oldtidens mest teknologisk udviklede. ”Alt om historien” fortæller om det fantastiske riges spændende grundlæggelse, store sejre og det overmod, der var med til at føre til dets undergang efter mere end 1000 års dominans i både Europa og Afrika.”Alt om historie” tager dig med på en halsbrækkende rejse til tidligere tider, så du kan nyde historiens største begivenheder.

When Sophus’s grandfather died, he left behind an old encyclopedia with a mysteriously empty page. In this episode, Sophus talks about happens when we run out of words, as when the mind is made blank by old age or when our loved ones die and we grieve them in silence. Empty pages are a powerfully symbol. They can mark both an ending and a new beginning, they can represent hope as well as grief. Blank pages are everywhere, and surprisingly beautiful.Hosted and written by Sophus HelleSound editing by Simone Nystrup-LarsenEdited by Andreas Lindinger SaxildFind out more at sophushelle.com/monkeymindMonkey MindCombining wit and wisdom, silliness and seriousness, the podcast Monkey Mind by Sophus Helle takes the audience on a weekly jaunt through the jungle of the mind.

”Min Moder døde da hun gav mig Livet;saa har mit Liv haft større Værd end hendes;stort, som et ansvar, finder jeg det givet:Det maa ej endes, før en Sejer vindes. – –Tror Du man naar, hvad som helst man vil i Livet?”Hebriderne ligger i det frådende hav ved de skotske kyster, og allerede i 800-tallet ankom de norske vikinger dertil for at gøre landet til sit. Hakons mor døde i barselssengen, da han kom til verden, og i dag er det ham, der er høvding på Borggård i højlandene. Jenny Blicher-Clausens episke digt fortæller sagnet om Hakon og Exelcior og maler et skønt og stemningsfuldt billede af det skotske højland og de vikinger, der slog sig ned der.Bogen udkom første gang i 1891.Jenny Blicher-Clausen (1865-1907) var dansk digter og forfatter. Hun begyndte at skrive allerede fra barnsben, og selvom hendes værker stilistisk tilhørte romantikkens litterære tendenser, var hun dybt optaget af det moderne gennembruds ideer om frigørelse og nytænkning. Blicher-Clausen udgav en lang række digtsamlinger og fik især med romanen “Inga Heine” fra 1898 en stor læserskare. Bogens tema er arbejdets rolle i kvindelivet, men fortællingen om hovedpersonens kærlighed til en gift mand står centralt. Blicher-Clausen bidrog desuden aktivt til datidens forskellige magasiner og tidsskrifter, og sammen med forfatterkollegaerne Laura Kieler og Johanne Schjørring redigerede hun et festskrift, der udkom i 1895 i anledning af Kvindernes Udstilling samme år.

”Flåden lå samlet, i tavs venten, ingen vimpler rørte sig, ingen sejl fyldtes af vind. Euripos lå glat som et grønt marmorgulv. Artemis ventede på et offer.Lyden af dundrende hestehove døde bort – buddet er allerede på vej mod Mykene. Buddet, som skal lokke et offer i døden.Ifigenia, min datter.”Sven Delblancs roman bygger videre på Euripides’ klassiske fortælling om kongedatteren Ifigenia, der må ofres for at vende krigslykken i krigen mellem Troja og Grækenland. Som en tragikomisk beretning fra Den Trojanske Krig, er bogen en på en gang genial, sorthumoristisk, smuk og finurlig fortolkning af en af de stærkeste græske myter.”Ifigenia” udkom første gang i 1990.Sven Delblanc (1931-1992) var en svensk forfatter og professor i litteratur ved Uppsala Universitet. Han debuterede som forfatter i 1962 og udgav sidenhen en lang række bøger. Flere af hans bøger kredser om græsk mytologi.

Boethius, född 480 e.Kr, är främst ihågkommen för sitt betydande bidrag inom filosofi, poesi och prosa. Under sin livstid tjänstgjorde han också som försteminister under kung Theoderik och utsågs till senator i Rom. Hans framgångsrika liv fick dock ett abrupt slut år 524 då han dömdes till döden, anklagad för förräderi. I väntan på sitt straff påbörjade han sitt mest berömda verk, Filosofins tröst, som han aldrig fick chansen att slutföra.I ”Boethius död” utforskar Ragnar Watz filosofens liv, med särskilt fokus på den dystra tid då han satt fängslad i kapellet Ager Calventianus. Watz blandar fakta och fiktion för att levandegöra den ångest Boethius måste ha upplevt i sitt väntande på det oundvikliga slutet. Hur hanterar man döden när man inte har någon tro på uppståndelse eller evigt liv?Ragnar Watz (1940 –) är en svensk författare, tidigare överläkare och klinikföreståndare.

Den engelske 1300-tals-digter Geoffrey Chaucer kendes blandt andet for en af den engelske digtnings største klassikere, ”Canterbury-fortællingerne”.

”Af oldtidens religioner er det gamle Ægyptens religion den, der foreligger tydeligst og fyldigst belyst af samtidige kilder. Den store mængde af bevarede religiøse tekster fra ’Pyramideteksterne’ o. 2200 f.v.t. til den græsk-romerske periodes (332 f.v.t. - o. 200 e.v.t.) tempelindskrifter og religiøse papyrusdokumenter gør det muligt ret nøje at studere Ægyptens religion og dens enestående kontinuitet over en periode på 2000 år.”Det gamle Ægyptens religion er en af de mest mangfoldige og fascinerende af alle de store religioner.

Det här är berättelsen om imperiets födelse, guldålder och undergång. Enligt romarnas egna myter grundades staden Rom år 753 f.Kr.

Dans l'Iliade se retrouvent des héros légendaires, un siège qui dure dix ans, deux nations qui s'opposent pour l'amour d'une femme, des dieux qui interviennent dans les combats. Ce récit a traversé l'histoire de l'Occident en inspirant ses rois et ses artistes.Dans l'Odyssée, qui fait suite à la guerre de Troie, le héros grec Ulysse veut rentrer chez lui, sur l'île d'Ithaque pour retrouver Pénélope, sa bien-aimée. Homère décrit ce voyage en 24 chants : mené d'épreuve en épreuve par des monstres, magiciennes et dieux, Ulysse mettra dix années pour retrouver son foyer. En attendant, sa femme doit aussi faire face à des choix difficiles : croyant Ulysse mort, de vils prétendants se disputent sa main. Cette épopée a été source d’inspiration pour le film « Ulysse » (1954) de Mario Camerini et la série « Odysseus » (2013) diffusée sur Arte.Incontournable figure de la littérature européenne, Homère est un poète de la Grèce antique ayant vécu au VIIIème siècle avant notre ère. Son existence n'est pas certaine, mais on lui attribue toutefois la paternité de l'Iliade et l'Odyssée, deux épopées qui inspirèrent bien des écrivains de l'Antiquité à nos jours et sont considérées comme des œuvres fondamentales pour l'étude de la littérature européenne.

”Runer er kantede figurer, som blev brugt af nordiske og germanske stammer, dels som bogstaver i den tids skrift og dels som magiske figurer hver med sin symbolske mening.De blev indført i England af de angelsaksiske indvandrere i det femte århundrede, og det er faktisk fra England, at den ældste bevarede beskrivelse af runernes symbolske indhold stammer.”I denne bog om runer, der oprindeligt udkom i 1989, fortæller Birgit Truust om runernes oprindelige brug og betydning, samt hvad man kan bruge dem til i dag – både til at forstå vores fælles fortid og til at søge indsigt i os selv og verden omkring os. Vi får en kort og præcis indføring i dette spændende emne, som i århundreder har interesseret og fascineret mennesker over hele Europa.Birgit Truust (1943-2023) var lektor i matematik og fysik, med logik som speciale, og bl.a. uddannet på MIT i USA. Set i det lys er Birgit Truust i sandhed en unik bidragsyder, hvad angår personlig selvudvikling og åndelig forståelse. Man skulle tro, at en sådan uddannelsesbaggrund ville resultere i en verdensanskuelse meget langt fra en dyb spirituel og terapeutisk indsigt i det menneskelige sind. Men netop hendes evne til at se sammenhænge mellem disse forståelsesbegreber er, hvad der gør hendes værker så interessante og fascinerende. En holistisk verdensanskuelse der for hver dag blot bliver styrket yderligere, i kraft med at de to begrebsverdner hele tiden nærmer sig hinanden.

Mit Nerva, Trajan, Antoninus Pius und Mark Aurel zählt Hadrian zu den Herrschern, die im englischen Sprachraum als »Five Good Emperors« (Fünf gute Kaiser) bezeichnet werden. Der britische Historiker Edward Gibbon schwärmt 1776 in seinem epochalen Hauptwerk »Verfall und Untergang des Römischen Imperiums« über deren Amtszeit von 96 bis 180 n. Chr.: »Wenn ein Mensch dazu aufgerufen wäre, sich auf einen Abschnitt in der Weltgeschichte festzulegen, in dessen Verlauf die Lage des Menschengeschlechts die glücklichste und fortschrittlichste war, so würde er, ohne zu zögern, jenen benennen, welcher vom Tod des Domitian bis zum Amtsantritt des Commodus reichte.« Das Urteil ist aus heutiger Sicht natürlich unhaltbar. Schon die von Rom angegriffenen und versklavten Völker hätten der Jubelarie sicher nicht zugestimmt. Für die Menschen im Reich aber war es eine Phase erstaunlicher Stabilität, die bereits in der Zeit der Flavier begann und so manchem Bewohner ungeahnte Möglichkeiten eröffnete, wie Archäologieprofessor Salvatore Ortisi im Interview anschaulich erklärt.Die vielfältigen G/Geschichte Magazine entführen den Leser über alle Epochen hinweg von der Antike bis in die Neuzeit an die Schauplätze historischer Ereignisse.

Puolueettoman historiankirjoituksen isän mullistava teosThukydides teki muistiinpanoja koko Ateenan ja Spartan välisen pitkän peloponnesolaissodan (431–404 eaa) ajan ja kirjoitti kattavan teoksensa loppuun sodan päätyttyä. Teoksessaan hän taustoittaa sodan tapahtumia varhaisemmalla historialla, maantieteellä ja myös politiikalla, ja toisin kuin muut aikansa historioitsijat, hän ei viittaa esimerkiksi jumaliin ja mytologiaan, vaan esittää historian olevan seurausta ihmisen valinnoista ja toimista. Thukydides käyttää kerronnan apuna omia ja silminnäkijöiden havaintoja ja mainitsee pyrkineensä ottamaan asioista mahdollisimman tarkkaan selvää itse, sen sijaan että olisi luottanut toisen käden tietoon. Hänen tavoitteenaan oli kirjoittaa aikaa kestävä historiateos, josta voisi olla tulevaisuudessakin hyötyä tilanteissa, joilla on tapana toistua. Siksi tämä lähes 2 500 vuotta vanha teos on pysynyt ajankohtaisena läpi vuosituhansien.Emil Hårdhin suomennos vuodelta 1912 on teoksen ensimmäinen suomennos.Thukydides (n. 460/455–401/306 eaa) oli antiikin kreikkalainen historioitsija ja sotilas. Hän oli vaurasta ateenalaista sukua, ja hänet nimitettiin peloponnesolaissodassa kenraaliksi. Hänet karkotettiin kuitenkin maanpakoon taistelutappion jälkeen. Maanpakolaisena Thukydides kiersi ympäri Peloponnesosta ja teki muistiinpanoja sodan tapahtumista.
