Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Etearchus, King of A xus, in Crete, married a second wife (as many better men have also done), and she persuaded him to get rid of Phronime, the pretty daughter of his former spouse. Thereupon Etearchus agreed with a merchant of Thera that he would take Phronime away in his ship and let her down into the sea. The merchant, true to the letter of his bargain, did let her down into the sea, but true also to that natural tenderness toward a pretty woman which inspires the breast of every man who is fit for anything in this world, he quickly drew her up again by a rope which he had fastened around her lissome waist for that purpose, and conveyed her safely enough to Thera. There Phronime met another man, Polymnestus by name, a descendant of the ancient Minyae, who also had a keen eye for feminine beauty, and him she married.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life and teachings of Arius, a prominent Christian figure of the 4th century. Born in Libya around 256 A.D., Arius became a presbyter and a popular preacher in Alexandria. He is best known for his heretical beliefs, which challenged the prevailing orthodoxy of the Trinity and the divinity of Christ. Arius argued that the Son was subordinate to the Father and that the Holy Spirit was a created being. His views sparked a major controversy that rocked the early Church and ultimately led to his exile and condemnation at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. The book delves into the historical context of Arianism, examining the social and political factors that contributed to its rise. It also analyzes the theological arguments put forward by Arius and his opponents, shedding light on the complex doctrinal debates that shaped the development of Christianity. Through a detailed examination of Arius's life and ideas, this book provides valuable insights into the origins and nature of one of the most significant heresies in Christian history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
