Rincón de los Clásicos
Ave familiae:
Bienvenidos un día más al Rincón de los Clásicos. Seguro que habéis adivinado los enigmas que pusimos la semana pasada, si no es así, aquí podéis ver las respuestas:
– Ponos o Ponus (en griego antiguo: Πόνος Pónos; «trabajo, esfuerzo») era el dios del trabajo duro y el esfuerzo en la mitología griega.
– Heracles o Hércules es el héroe griego tuvo que llevar a cabo doce trabajos.
– La palabra trabajo viene del latín tripalium, que significaba literalmente ‘tres palos’ y era un instrumento de tortura formado por tres estacas a las que se amarraba al reo.
Estamos llegando ya al final del curso y al final de nuestro concurso semanal del Rincón de Los Clásicos. Nos quedan solo dos retos más. Pero como nos vamos a cercando al final y estas semanas están llenas de acontecimientos especiales, como la graduación, la excursión, los torneos, la fiesta del colegio… vamos a pensar en todas estas cosas.
Queremos que penséis:
– ¿Cuál era el premio más importante que se otorgaba a aquel que ganaba en las carreras del Circo Romano?
– ¿Cómo empieza el himno de la Universidad que cantan todos los que se gradúan?
– ¿Cuál es la etimología de la palabra “torneo”.
El miércoles de abril podréis leer aquí las soluciones.
Disfrutad del saber.
El Departamento de Clásicas.
Y la frase de esta semana es:
Nesci vox missa reverti.
La palabra, una vez lanzada, no puede ser recogida (Horacio).
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text.
It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.
Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit
Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of «de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum» (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, «Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..», comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, or non-characteristic words.
