He has a broad background in the humanities and is the coauthor of "A Genealogical Chart of Greek Mythology." Judge Newman spent 35 years on his book. I spent 11 years on my book "Significant Moments." Maybe Judge Newman had some insight into my personality based on the letter I sent him. Who knows?<br /><br />Judge Newman's book is a unique work: the first comprehensive genealogical chart of virtually all of the named figures of Greek mythology that can be shown to be related. The product of more than 35 years of research, the book includes a 72-page continuous chart that links 3,673 named figures into a single "family tree" spanning 20 generations and an 80-page index that provides a citation to an authoritative ancient source for each relationship. <br /><br />The genealogy begins with Chaos and--based on works by Hesiod, Homer, Aeschylus, Pindar, Bacchylides, Herodotus, Euripides, Apollodorus, Pausanias, Diodorus Siculus, and scores of other ancient poets, playwrights, and writers--continues down through the Titans, the gods, legendary kings, and such well-known figures of literature as Odysseus, Jason, Antigone, and Helen of Troy, as well as hundreds of obscure figures, including their spouses, paramours, children, and descendants. <br /><br />The chart shows all of the known relationships--parental, marital, and extramarital--of each figure. In addition to furnishing a citation for each relationship, the index provides brief descriptive information and indicates the quadrant and page of the continuous chart where the relationship is depicted. A two-page master chart illustrates the relationships among the principal figures. <br /><br />I support creative judges on the federal bench!My Daily Struggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785498459884222234noreply@blogger.com
