Bring the magic of storytelling into your child's life using the everyday world around you!
This book teaches parents to incorporate storytelling into household activities and to address real-life situations in their stories. In a world consumed by online and electronic media, it is refreshing to see how a parent can kindle a child's imagination through the magic of the oral tradition.
Antigone begins with The two sons of Oedipus, Eteocles and Polyneices, who are fighting for the kingship of Thebes. Both men die in the battle. Their successor, Creon, decides that King Eteocles will be buried, but Polyneices, because he was leading a foreign army, will be left on the field of battle. Antigone, his sister, buries him anyway.
Antigone is caught burying Polyneices and is condemned to death. Her fiance and Creon's son, Haemon, learns about this and tries to convince Creon to change his mind. It's only then that the seer Tiresias appears. After a long discussion, he finally persuades Creon that the gods want Polyneices buried. By then it's too late Antigone has hung herself, Haemon kills himself when he finds her, and Creon's wife kills herself when she learns about her son.
This abridgment of Colin Brown’s original four volume work is arranged with its entries in Greek alphabet order, which makes it easy to find the discussion of a particular word. All Greek words are transliterated into English and linked with their Goodrick/Kohlenberger numbers.
Together they weave biblical teaching with practical tips that will help readers answer questions like these: How can I. . .• clear out unnecessary clutter in my home? • overcome anxiety? • rely on God for my sustenance? • get free from too much technology and/or entertainment? • preserve a Sabbath rest? • free myself from the stronghold of materialism?
