The Code of Hammurabi Hammurabi http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4239 en -1790 Non-Fiction History Politics The Code of Hammurabi (Codex Hammurabi) is a well-preserved ancient law code, created ca. 1790 BC (middle chronology) in ancient Babylon. It was enacted by the sixth Babylonian king, Hammurabi. One nearly complete example of the Code survives today, inscribed on a seven foot, four inch tall basalt stele in the Akkadian language in the cuneiform script. One of the first written codes of law in recorded history. These laws were written on a stone tablet standing over eight feet tall (2.4 meters) that was found in 1901. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4239.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4239.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4239.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4239.mobi The Aeneid of Virgil (I-VI) Virgil http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3076 urn:isbn:0199231958 en -29 Poetry The Aeneid is a Latin epic poem written by Virgil in the 1st century BC (between 29 and 19 BC) that tells the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan who traveled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans. It is written in dactylic hexameter. The first six of the poem's twelve books tell the story of Aeneas' wanderings from Troy to Italy, and the poem's second half treats the Trojans' ultimately victorious war upon the Latins, under whose name Aeneas and his Trojan followers are destined to be subsumed. The hero Aeneas was already known to Greco-Roman legend and myth, having been a character in the Iliad; Virgil took the disconnected tales of Aeneas' wanderings, his vague association with the foundation of Rome and a personage of no fixed characteristics other than a scrupulous piety, and fashioned this into a compelling founding myth or nationalist epic that at once tied Rome to the legends of Troy, glorified traditional Roman virtues and legitimized the Julio-Claudian dynasty http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3076.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3076.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3076.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3076.mobi The Republic Plato http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4104 urn:isbn:0199535760 en -380 Philosophy The Republic is a Socratic dialogue by Plato, written in approximately 380 BC. It is one of the most influential works of philosophy and political theory, and Plato's best known work. In Plato's fictional dialogues the characters of Socrates as well as various Athenians and foreigners discuss the meaning of justice and examine whether the just man is happier than the unjust man by imagining a society ruled by philosopher-kings and the guardians. The dialogue also discusses the role of the philosopher, Plato's Theory of Forms, the place of poetry, and the immortality of the soul. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4104.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4104.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4104.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4104.mobi Apology Plato http://www.feedbooks.com/book/678 urn:isbn:0865163480 en -400 Philosophy (The) Apology (of Socrates) is Plato's version of the speech given by Socrates as he defends himself against the charges of being a man "who corrupted the young, did not believe in the gods, and created new deities". "Apology" here has its earlier meaning (now usually expressed by the word "apologia") of speaking in defense of a cause or of one's beliefs or actions (from the Greek απολογία). http://www.feedbooks.com/book/678.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/678.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/678.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/678.mobi Charmides Plato http://www.feedbooks.com/book/679 urn:isbn:0872200108 en -400 Philosophy http://www.feedbooks.com/book/679.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/679.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/679.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/679.mobi Critias Plato http://www.feedbooks.com/book/680 urn:isbn:0766141624 en -400 Philosophy http://www.feedbooks.com/book/680.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/680.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/680.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/680.mobi Crito Plato http://www.feedbooks.com/book/681 urn:isbn:0674990404 en -400 Philosophy http://www.feedbooks.com/book/681.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/681.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/681.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/681.mobi Euthyphro Plato http://www.feedbooks.com/book/682 urn:isbn:0674990404 en -400 Philosophy http://www.feedbooks.com/book/682.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/682.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/682.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/682.mobi Ion Plato http://www.feedbooks.com/book/684 urn:isbn:0521349818 en -400 Philosophy http://www.feedbooks.com/book/684.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/684.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/684.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/684.mobi Timaeus Plato http://www.feedbooks.com/book/712 urn:isbn:0521790670 en -400 Philosophy http://www.feedbooks.com/book/712.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/712.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/712.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/712.mobi Theaetetus Plato http://www.feedbooks.com/book/713 urn:isbn:158510101X en -400 Philosophy http://www.feedbooks.com/book/713.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/713.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/713.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/713.mobi Symposium Plato http://www.feedbooks.com/book/714 urn:isbn:0226042758 en -400 Philosophy The Symposium (Ancient Greek: Συμπόσιον) is a philosophical dialogue written by Plato sometime after 385 BC.
