.... and two immortal (Polydeuces and Helen). Yeats' poem focuses not on the monumental events that Leda's offspring went on to experience (and cause), but rather on the moment of the meeting of woman and winged one. As for the classical mythological history of Leda and Zeus, Carlos Parada's Genealogical Guide to Greek Mythology tells us that Zeus, in swan form, joined with Leda, on the same night that her husband had. Zeus's children, Polydeuces and Helen, were born from an egg laid by Leda and Tyndareus' children were Castor and Clytemnestra. However, some say that Helen was a daughter of Nemesis and Zeus and brought (in egg form) to Leda by a shepherd. Whe .....

.... in 1811, Fort Gibson was built on it in preparation for the War of 1812. No fighting took place at Fort Gibson it was mainly a munitions storage fort. When immigrants began, pouring into New York City, New York State processed them at an old fort known as Castle Clinton on the Battery at the tip of Manhattan. When that facility became too small for the large number of immigrants arriving in the country, they chose as the new immigration center. After erecting new wooden buildings, it opened in 1892 but those buildings burned in 1897. New buildings were erected in 1900 and it reopened. Eventually the control of immigration was turned over to the Federal go .....

.... seemed other civilizations had o suffer in the wake of their destruction. This essay will discuss the events that have taken place in history dealing with both the Indian and Black slave condition in M. L. Conniff and T. J. Davis', Africans in the Americas. As the Europeans explored, their interest broadened. Africa exemplified their greatest interest because of the slave labor it had to offer. Unfortunately, slave labor was at the expense of people who were a different color other than the Europeans. Like Africa, the Americas offered slave labor. When the Europeans landed on the Americas, they encountered a different race. This race consisted of di .....

.... a small slender cut in the castle wall that arrows could be shot out from but not in to. See Diagram. Castles also had huge 20-foot walls to be protected from. Only two-ways in or out from the wall were present. One in the front of the castle where two iron gates had to be broken. Another gate was located somewhere towards the back of the castle. It was a secret gate that was very hard to find, and only the king knew where the gate had been hidden. The gate was used during an attack to escape from the siege. In the middle of the castle there was a huge building called the keep. This is where the king and queen slept, the kitchen a .....

.... that McGwire's record was the result of Androstenedione use. To verify the need for this asterisk, one must examine the significance of this drug, and compare McGwire with the other home run kings. In any issue involving sport and drugs, the primary concern is whether or not use of such a drug is legal, according to the governing body of that sport. Fortunately for Mark McGwire, use of Androstenedione does not violate any rules of Major League Baseball. While critics such as Richard Griffin, Toronto Star Baseball Columnist, argue that Andro is a "testosterone-producing product that is banned in the NFL, Olympics, and NCAA," they fail to mention that neither t .....

The good mind kept destroying what ever he created for fear it was not perfect. Traces of animals from the beginning of time were left in the rocks known as fossils. The moon and the sun were created. Both the good and the evil mind attempted to create mankind. When the evil mind tries to create mankind h .....

.... made the government almost as disorganized as the army. People distrust a disorganized and relaxed government. When people distrust their government, political systems deteriorate. In History, we have noticed a depleting political system often leads to civilizations demise. Rome began as a small city-state. It's army and way of running government remained the same as the small city grew to a huge empire. Somehow, this small-time system of management lasted for 600 years. It's obvious ill suitedness showed through though, when Rome's once strong rigid links began to jingle. When Rome began to crumble, its army went first. Besides causing civil unrest .....
