Damasen

Markx121993:

In [[Greek mythology]], '''Damasen''' ([[Ancient Greek]]: Δαμασην derived from ''damazô'' or ''damasô'' "to subdue") was the [[Giants (Greek mythology)|giant]] son of [[Gaia]] who was nursed by [[Eris (mythology)|Eris]] ("discord").<ref name=":0">t

[[Nonnus]], ''[[Dionysiaca]]'' 25.452</ref>

== Mythology ==
When the hero [[Tylon]] or [[Tylus]] (‘knot’ or ‘phallus’), was fatally bitten in the heel by a poisonous serpent, his sister [[Moera (mythology)|Moera]] (‘fate’) appealed to the giant Damasen (‘subduer’), who avenged him by killing the snake. Another serpent, a female one, then fetched ‘the flower of [[Zeus]]’ from the woods, and laid it on the lips of its dead mate, which came to life again; Moera followed this example and similarly restored to life Tylus with the help of a life-giving herb.<ref></ref>

=== Nonnus' ''Dionysiaca'' ===
The myth of Damasen, Tylon and Moera was recounted by Nonnus in his poem of Dionysiaca<ref name=":0" />:
{|
|
: ''"Moria, and the dappled Serpent, and the divine plant, and Damasen Drakon-Killer (Dragon-Killer) the terrible son of Gaia (Gaea, the Earth); Tylos, also, who lived in Maionia (Maeonia) [Lydia] so short a time, was there mangled in his quick poisonous death.''
|-
|
: ''Tylos was walking once on the overhanging bank of neighbouring [[Hermus|Hermos]] (Hermus) the [[Mygdonia|Mygdonian]] River, when his hand touched a serpent. The Drakon (Dragon) lifted his head and stretched his hood, opened wide his ruthless gaping mouth and leapt on the man, whipt round the man's loins his trailing tail and hissed like a whistling wind, curled round the man's body in clinging rings, then darting at his face tore the cheeks and downy chin with sharp rows of teeth, and spat the juice of Moira (Fate) out of his poisonous jaws. The man struggled with all that weight on his shoulders, while his neck was encircled by the coiling tail, snaky necklace of death brining [[Moirai|Fate]] very near. Then he fell dead to the ground, like an uprooted tree.''
|-
|
: ''A [[Naiad|Naias]] (Naiad) unveiled pitied one so young, fallen dead before her eyes; she wailed over the body beside her, and pulled off the monstrous beast, to bring him down. For this was not the first wayfarer that he had laid low, not the first shepherd, Tylos not the only one he had killed untimely; lurking in his thicket he battened on the wild beasts, and often pulled up a tree by the roots and dragged it in, then under the joints of his jaws swallowed it into his dank darksome throat, blowing out again a great blast from his mouth. Often he pulled in the wayfarer terrified by his lurking breath, and dragged him rolling over and over his mouth--he could be seen from afar swallowing the man whole in his gaping maw. So Moria watching afar saw her brother's murderer; the [[Nymph|Nymphe]] trembled with fear when she beheld the serried ranks of poisonous teeth, and the garland of death wrapt round his neck. Wailing loudly beside the dragon vittling den, she met Damasen, a gigantic son of Gaia, whom his mother once conceived and brought forth by herself. At his birth, Eris (Strife) was his nurse, spears his mother's pap, carnage his bath, the corselet his swaddlings. Under the heavy weight of those long broad limbs, a warlike babe, he cast lances as a boy; touching the sky, from birth he shook a spear born with him; no sooner did he appear than [[Eileithyia]] armed the nursling with a shield.''
|-
|
: ''This was he whom the Nymphe beheld on the fertile slope of the woodland. She bowed weeping before him in prayer, and pointed to the horrible reptile, her brother's murderer, and Tylos newly mangled and still breathing in the dust. The Gigas (Giant) did not reject her prayer, that monstrous champion; but he seized a tree and tore it up from tits roots in mother earth, then stood and came sidelong upon the ravening Drakon (Dragon). The coiling champion fought him in serpent fashion, hissing battle from the war trumpet of his throat, a fifty furlong Drakon coil upon coil. With two circles he bound first Damasen's feet, madly whipping his writhing coils about his body, and opened the gates of his raging teeth to show a mad chasm: rolling his wild eyes, breathing death, he shot watery spurts from his lips, and spat into the Gigas' face fountains of poison in showers from his jaws, and sent a long spout of yellow foam out of his teeth. He darted up straight and danced over the Gigas's high crested head, while the movement of his body made the earth quake.''
|-
|
: ''But the terrible Gigas shook his great limbs like mountains, and threw off the weight of the Drakon's long spine. His hand whirled aloft his weapon shooting straight like a missile the great tree with all its leaves, and brought down the plant roots and all upon the Drakon's head, where the backbone joins it at the narrow part of the rounded neck. Then the tree took root again, and the Drakon lay on the ground immovable, a coiling corpse. Suddenly the female serpent his mate came coiling up, scraping the ground with her undulating train, and crept about seeking for her misshapen husband, like a woman who missed her husband dead. She wound her long trailing spine with all speed among the tall rocks, hurrying towards the herb decked hillside; in the coppice she plucked the flower of Zeus with her snaky jaws, and brought back the pain-killing herb in her lips, dropt the antidote of death into the dry nostril of the horrible dead, and gave life with the flower to the stark poisonous corpse. The body moved of itself and shuddered; part of it still had not life, another part stirred, half-restored the body shook another part and the tail moved of itself; breath came again through the cold jaws, slowly the throat opened and the familiar sound came out, pouring the same long hiss again. At last the serpent moved, and disappeared into his furtive hole."''

Stabat Mater (Scarlatti)

LouisAlain: ←Created page with ' <center>The "Deposizione", mid-15th century, by Napolitan [[Colantonio (Naples, Mu...'

[[File:Deposizione, Colantonio 001.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|<center>The "Deposizione", mid-15th century, by Napolitan [[Colantonio]] (Naples, [[Museo di Capodimonte]]).</center>]]

[[Alessandro Scarlatti]]'s '''''Stabat Mater''''' is a religious musical work composed for two voices ([[soprano]]/[[alto]]), two [[violin]]s and [[basso continuo]], in 1724, on a commission from the [[Order of Friars Minor]], the "Knights of the Virgin of Sorrows" of the Church of San Luigi in Naples for [[Lent]]

This ''[[Stabat Mater]]'', is based on a 13th century liturgical text meditating on the suffering of [[Mary (Mother of Jesus)|Mary]], mother of Christ.

Considered outdated by those who had ordered it, it was replaced in 1736 by the famous ''[[Stabat Mater (Pergolesi)|Stabat Mater]]'' by [[Giovanni Battista Pergolesi]].

It is one of the composer's three Stabat Mater. There is another manuscript of a three-part Stabat Mater, dated 1715 and kept in Naples<ref>Naples, Archivio Musicale della Communità Oratoriana dei Padri Filippini.</ref> (''Stabat Mater'' [II]) and a third work, composed for four voices, dated 1723, but now lost. (''Stabat Mater'' [III])

== Detail ==
[[File:Stabat Mater (I) - Alessandro Scarlatti (Ms. Naples).png|thumb|upright=1.6|<center>First page of the "Stabat Mater" in a copy from the 18th century, kept in Florence at the [[Conservatorio Luigi Cherubini]].</center>]]

The ''Stabat Mater'' consists of eighteen pieces that can be grouped into four parts, starting and ending with a duet.

Scarlatti inverts verses 10 and 11 and groups verse 13 with verse 14, and verse 15 also plays verses 16 and 17 in a [[recitative]]. That is eighteen numbers for twenty verses.

Scarlatti's late composition, it impresses by its extraordinary musical richness, variety of forms, chromatic freedom and flexibility of expression. Thus the work is one of his most popular religious works today.

The execution takes about forty minutes.

**12 October – The cost-cutting is brought sharply into focus in its coverage of the [[Brighton hotel bombing]].

When the blast occurred in the early hours, the BBC and [[Independent Television News|ITN]] provided immediate coverage. TV-am's response was limited to a caption of reporter [[John Stapleton]] reporting over the phone.<ref></ref> [[Trade union]] agreements at the time meant that technical staff at the local ITV station [[Television South|TVS]] could not provide cover for another commercial television company, and TV-am's previous conflicts with ITN meant that the latter would not share its footage. The whole affair earned the company a severe rebuke from the IBA, who told the company to invest and improve its news coverage, or it would lose its licence.
** 13 October – The first edition of children’s programme ''[[Wide Awake Club]]'' is broadcast. It replaces ''[[Data Run]]'' and ''[[Rub-a-Dub-Tub]]''.

* '''1987'''

'''Bela Jenbach''', real name '''Béla Jacobowicz''' (1 April 1871 in [[Miskolc]] – 21 January 1943 in Vienna) was an Austrian actor and operetta librettist of [[Republic of Hungary | Hungarian]] origin.

Jenbach was of Jewish origin and the brother of the screenwriter [[Ida Jenbach]]. He was co-author of several well-known operetta libretti. Jenbach died in the Sanatorium Auersperg in Vienna and was buried on the [[Matzleinsdorf Protestant Cemetery]].
[[File:JenbachBela.jpg|thumb|<center>Jenbach's grave stone</center>]]

== Life ==
Jenbach came to Vienna at the age of 18. At first he kept himself busy with casual work and writing trivial literature about water. He invested his earnings in speech lessons and proved to be an extremely talented student, as he managed to lose his accent in a very short time. The foundation for his career was laid and he was engaged to the Vienna Burgtheater. He took this opportunity to change his name from Jacobowicz to Jenbach. He hoped for greater recognition and did not want to be immediately associated with his Jewish roots.

Depressed about the low earnings as a Burgtheater actor he came via the "Operettenbörse" in [[Café Sperl]] to write libretti. He would rather have become a recognized author of spoken pieces, but the work for operetta composers was simply more lucrative.

During the Nazi period his working conditions became worse and worse. Jenbach had a Catholic wife and a daughter. He did not think of emigrating. From 1940 he hid in a cellar near Vienna's Kaunitzgasse. After three years in this involuntary dungeon, Jenbach felt severe physical pain. He was admitted to hospital with stomach cancer in its final stage and died there on 21 January 1943. His wife survived him by only eight days. She died of breast cancer on 29 January 1943. Both daughters survived the Nazi regime in Vienna as women with a Jewish father.

Jenbach was married with the actress Anna Brandstätter from [[Krems]]. From this connection came her daughter Lydia Jenbach.

'''Paul Victor Mathey''' (14 November 1844 – 24 November 1929) was a French painter and [[Engraving|engraver]].<ref>[http://bit.ly/2GarLmj Paul Mathey (1844 - 1929)] on brierhillgallery.com</ref>

== Biography ==
Born in Paris, the son of a [[Painting conservation|restorer]], Mathey learned his art at the [[École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts]] of Paris in painters [[Léon Cogniet]]'s, [[Isidore Pils]]'s and [[Alexis-Joseph Mazerolle]]'s workshops. He began to exhibit at the [[Salon (Paris)|Salon de Paris]] in 1868, and became a valued and recognized [[Portrait painting|portrait painter]]. He has several times portrayed artists from his entourage in their studios.

Especially a portrait painter, Mathey did not, however, refrain from landscape, seascapes, lived scenes or decoration. In his forty-fifth year, at the time of the struggle between reproducers and originals, he had the idea of starting engraving. The Comité des Artistes français, of which he was no longer a member, contested the title of engravers to those who did not work on the work of others. They wanted to exclude them from the Salon, and at least from the rewards. Mathey opened [[Maxime Lalanne]]'s ''Traité de gravure à l'eau-forte'', took the technical information he needed, fetched a sketch from his notebooks and engraved it. It was a portrait of his father, whom he had drawn about ten years earlier.<ref>|title=Paul Mathey graveur|journal=L’Art et les artistes : revue mensuelle d’art ancien et moderne|volume=5|issue=29|date=1921-10|pages=271-5|url=https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k58625443/f298|accessdate = 30 January 2019}}.</ref>

His work has been crowned several times. He was presented with a 3rd class medal at the 1876 Salon, a 2nd class medal at the 1885 Salon, and a gold medal at the [[Exposition Universelle (1889)]]. Finally, he was decorated with the [[Legion of Honour]], 29 October 1889.<ref></ref>

Mathey died in the [[7th arrondissement of Paris]] at age 85.

Theorem of the gnomon

[[File:Gnomon theorem.svg|thumb|upright=1.3|gnomon: <math> ABFEGD</math> theoref of the Gnomon: green area = red area, <math>|AHGD|=|ABFI|,\, |HBFE|=|IEGD| </math> ]]
[[File:Gnomon division.svg|thumb|upright=1.3|geometrical representation of a division]]
[[File:Gnomon streckenteilung.svg|thumb|upright=1.3|Transferring the ratio of a partition of line segment AB to line segment HG <math>\tfrac{|AH|}{|HB|}=\tfrac{|HE|}{|EG|}</math>]]
The '''theorem of the gnomon''' states that certain [[parallelogram]]s occurring in a [[Gnomon (figure)|gnomon]] have areas of equal size.

== Theorem ==
In a parallelogram <math>ABCD</math> with a point <math>E</math> on the diagonal <math>AC</math> the parallel to <math>AD</math> through <math>E</math> intersects the side <math>CD</math> in <math>G</math> and the side <math>AB</math> in <math>H</math>. Similarly the parallel to the side <math>AB</math> through <math>E</math> intersects the side <math>AD</math> in <math>I</math> and the side <math>BC</math> in <math>F</math>. The theorem of the gnomon now states, that the parallelograms <math>HBFE</math> und <math>IEGD</math> have equal areas..<ref name="HNL">Lorenz Halbeisen, Norbert Hungerbühler, Juan Läuchli: ''Mit harmonischen Verhältnissen zu Kegelschnitten: Perlen der klassischen Geometrie''. Springer 2016, ISBN 9783662530344, pp. 190-191 </ref><ref name="Hazard">William J. Hazard: ''Generalizations of the Theorem of Pythagoras and Euclid's Theorem of the Gnomon''. The American Mathematical Monthly, volume 36, no. 1 (Jan., 1929), pp. 32-34 ([http://bit.ly/2S0fvMn JSTOR]) </ref>

''Gnomon'' is the name for the L-shaped figure consisting of the two overlapping parallelograms <math>ABFI</math> and <math>AHGD</math>. The parallelograms of equal area <math>HBFE</math> und <math>IEGD</math> are called ''complements'' (of the parallelograms on diagonal <math>EFCG</math> und <math>AHEI</math>).<ref name="Tropfke">[[Johannes Tropfke]]: ''Geschichte der Elementarmathematik Ebene Geometrie - Band 4: Ebene Geometrie''. Walter de Gruyter, 2011, ISBN 9783111626932, pp. [http://bit.ly/2CVRfRf 134-135] (German)</ref>

== Applications and extensions ==
The theorem of the gnomon can be used to construct a new parallelogram or rectangle of equal area to a given parallelogram or rectangle by the means of [[straightedge and compass construction]]s. This also allows for the representation of a division of two numbers in geometrical terms, an important feature to reformulate geometrical problems in algebraic terms. More precisely if two numbers are given as lengths of line segments one can construct a third line segment, the length of which matches the quotient of those two numbers (see drawing). Another application is to transfer the ratio of partition of one line segment to another line segment (of different length), that is dividing that other line segment in the same ratio as a given line segment and its partition (see drawing).<ref name="HNL"/>

[[File:Gnomon3d 1.png|thumb|upright=1.3|<math>\mathbb{A}</math> is the (lower) parallepiped around the diagonal with <math>P</math> and its complements <math>\mathbb{B}</math>, <math>\mathbb{C}</math> and <math>\mathbb{D}</math> have the same volume: <math>|\mathbb{B}|=|\mathbb{C}|=|\mathbb{D}|</math>]]
A similar statement can be made in three dimensions for [[parallelepiped]]s. In this case you have a point <math>P</math> on the space diagonal of a parallelepiped and instead of two parallel lines you have three planes through <math>P</math> being parallel to the faces of the parallelepiped. The three planes partition the parallelepiped into eight smaller parallelepipeds, two of those surround the diagonal and meet in <math>P</math>. Now each of those two parallepipeds around the diagonal has three of the remaining six parallelepipeds attached to it and those three play the role of the complements and are of equal volume (see drawing).<ref name="Hazard"/>

== Historical aspects ==
The theorem of the gnomon is already described in [[Euclid's Elements]] (ca 300 BC) and there it plays an important role in the derivation of other theorems. It is given as proposition 43 in the first book of the Elements, where it is phrased as a statement about parallelograms without using the term gnomon. The latter is introduced by Euclid as the second definition of the second book of Elements. Further theorems for which the gnomon and its properties play an important role are proposition 6 in book II, proposition 29 in book VI and the propositionen 1, 2, 3 und 4 in book XIII.<ref name="VA">Paolo Vighi, Igino Aschieri: ''From Art to Mathematics in the Paintings of Theo van Doesburg''.
