In the middle of the third century, a girl was born on the north-eastern frontier of the Roman empire. Eighty years later, she died as Flavia Iulia Helena, Augusta of the Roman world and mother of the first Christian emperor Constantine, without ever having been married to an emperor herself. In Helena Augusta: Mother of the Empire, Julia Hillner traces Helena's story through her life's peaks, which generated beautiful imperial artwork, entertaining legends as well as literary outrage. But Helena Augusta also pays careful attention to the disruptions in Helena's life course and in her commemoration--disruptions that were created by her nearest male relatives. Hillner shows that Helena's story was not just determined by the love of a son or the rise of Christianity. It was also--like that of many other late Roman women--defined by male violence and by the web of changing female relationships around her, to which Helena was sometimes marginal, sometimes central and sometimes ancillary. Helena Augusta offers unique insight into the roles of imperial women in Constantinian self-display and in dynastic politics from the Tetrarchy to the Theodosian Age, and it also reminds us that the late Roman female life course, even that of an empress, was fragile and non-linear.
A little white china horse, an inherited house in Devon and a hidden room full of inspiration.Helena is twenty seven years old and bored with her life as a journalist in Australia, when something extraordinary happens. She inherits a house on seven acres in Devon, England, from her Aunt Mabel. She had immigrated from the U.K to Australia with her parents when just a child. Aunty Mabel gave her a little white china horse as a going away present. She said to Helena; "One day you will bring it home and see that dreams really do come true." Her Aunt had recognised her love for animals and artistic talent as similar to her own.A bespoke magical tale for those who love nature, animals, old houses with hidden rooms and a hint of romance. Illustrated by the author in a movie storyboard style, which will appeal to adults and children alike.
The first study to examine the origins, development, political exploitation and decline of the legend of St Helena, tracing its momentum and adaptive power from Anglo-Saxon England onwards. St Helena, mother of Constantine the Great and legendary finder of the True Cross, was appropriated in the middle ages as a British saint. The rise and persistence of this legend harnessed Helena's imperial and sacred status to portray her as a romance heroine, source of national pride, and a legitimising link to imperial Rome. This study is the first to examine the origins, development, political exploitation and decline of this legend, tracing its momentum and adaptive power from Anglo-Saxon England to the twentieth century. Using Latin, English, and Welsh texts, as well as church dedications and visual arts, the author examines the positive effect of the British legend on the cult of St Helena and the reasons for its wide appeal and durability in both secular and religious contexts. Two previously unpublished vitae of St Helena are included in the volume: a Middle English verse vita from the South English Legendary, and a Latin prose vita by the twelfth-century hagiographer, Jocelin of Furness. Antonina Harbus is Professor in the Department of English at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.
Living Ethics is a conduct based ideology and ethos, whose purpose is to perfect the moral integrity of a person over the course of lifetimes. The concepts extend to family, society, state, and world civilization to bring prosperity and happiness while at the same time providing purpose and the ability to manage difficulties. Living Ethics is also known as Agni Yoga. Living Ethics is based on a series of revelations that Helena Roerich received over the course of about 20 years, from 1920 to 1940, although she lived to 1955. It explains the experiences and rules that a person must apply to their life to transform it and to transform the lives of others for the better. It is a dynamic effort created through self-discipline, self-examination and self-sacrifice. This volume consists of a biography of Helena Roerich, an analysis of her teachings, and a translation into English of selections of her compositions.
