pos: Schindler's List Schindler 's List is a 1993 American epic historical period drama film directed and co-produced by Steven Spielberg and scripted by Steven Zaillian . It is based on the novel Schindler 's Ark by Australian novelist Thomas Keneally . The film relates a period in the life of Oskar Schindler , an ethnic German businessman , during which he saved the lives of more than a thousand mostly Polish-Jewish refugees from the Holocaust by employing them in his factories during World War II . It stars Liam Neeson as Schindler , Ralph Fiennes as SS officer Amon Göth , and Ben Kingsley as Schindler 's Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern .   Ideas for a film about the Schindlerjuden ( Schindler Jews ) were proposed as early as 1963 . Poldek Pfefferberg , one of the Schindlerjuden , made it his life 's mission to tell the story of Schindler . Spielberg became interested in the story when executive Sidney Sheinberg sent him a book review of Schindler 's Ark. . Universal Pictures bought the rights to the novel , but Spielberg , unsure if he was ready to make a film about the Holocaust , tried to pass the project to several other directors before finally deciding to direct the film himself .   Principal photography took place in Kraków , Poland , over the course of 72 days in 1993 . Spielberg shot the film in black and white and approached it as a documentary . Cinematographer Janusz Kamiński wanted to give the film a sense of timelessness . John Williams composed the score , and violinist Itzhak Perlman performs the film 's main theme .   Schindler 's List premiered on November 30 , 1993 , in Washington , D.C. and it was released on December 15 , 1993 , in the United States . Often listed among the greatest films ever made , it was also a box office success , earning $ 321.2 million worldwide on a $ 22 million budget . It was the recipient of seven Academy Awards ( out of twelve nominations ) , including Best Picture , Best Director , Best Adapted Screenplay , and Best Original Score , as well as numerous other awards ( including seven BAFTAs and three Golden Globes ) . In 2007 , the American Film Institute ranked the film 8th on its list of the 100 best American films of all time . The Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry in 2004 .

neg: Basic Instinct Basic Instinct is a 1992 neo-noir erotic thriller film directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Joe Eszterhas , and starring Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone . The film follows a police detective , Nick Curran ( Douglas ) , who is investigating the brutal murder of a wealthy rock star . During the investigation Curran becomes involved in a torrid and intense relationship with the prime suspect , Catherine Tramell ( Stone ) , an enigmatic writer .   Even before its release , Basic Instinct generated heated controversy due to its overt sexuality and graphic depiction of violence . It was strongly opposed by gay rights activists , who criticized the film 's depiction of homosexual relationships and the portrayal of a bisexual woman as a murderous narcissistic psychopath . In a 2006 interview , Stone alleged that the infamous leg-crossing scene in which her vulva was exposed was filmed without her knowledge .   Despite initial critical negativity and public protest , Basic Instinct became one of the most financially successful films of the 1990s , grossing $ 352 million worldwide . Several versions of the film have been released on videocassette , DVD , and Blu-ray including a director 's cut with extended footage previously unseen in North American cinemas . The film has contemporarily been recognized for its groundbreaking depictions of sexuality in mainstream Hollywood cinema , and has been referred to by scholars as `` a neo-noir masterpiece that plays with , and transgresses , the narrative rules of film noir . '' A 2006 sequel , Basic Instinct 2 starring Stone was made without Verhoeven 's involvement , but received negative reviews from critics and was unsuccessful at the box office .

neg: Subway (Homicide: Life on the Street) `` Subway '' ( sometimes referred to as `` The Accident '' ) is the seventh episode of the sixth season of the American police television drama Homicide : Life on the Street , and the 84th episode overall . It first aired on NBC in the United States on December 5 , 1997 . In the episode , John Lange ( Vincent D'Onofrio ) becomes pinned between a Baltimore Metro Subway train and the station platform . The Baltimore homicide department is informed that Lange will be dead within an hour and Pembleton tries to solve the case while comforting Lange in his final minutes .   `` Subway '' featured guest star Bruce MacVittie as a man suspected of pushing Lange into the path of the train . The episode was written by James Yoshimura , who co-produced with David Simon . It was directed by Gary Fleder and was the only episode of Homicide : Life on the Street helmed by the feature film director . Yoshimura based `` Subway '' on an episode of the HBO hidden-camera documentary show Taxicab Confessions , in which a New York City detective described a real-life instance of a man trapped between a subway train and platform .   `` Subway '' was filmed on location in a Baltimore Metropolitan Transit Authority ( MTA ) station . Fleder included cinematic elements that were uncommon in the traditionally naturalistic show . This led to conflicts between Fleder and director of photography Alex Zakrzewski . `` Subway '' received overwhelmingly positive reviews but ranked number three in its time-slot during its original broadcast , capturing 10.3 million viewers but falling behind ABC 's 20/20 and CBS 's Nash Bridges .   The episode won a Peabody Award for excellence in television broadcasting and was nominated for two Emmy Awards , one for Yoshimura 's script and one for D'Onofrio 's guest performance . `` Subway '' was the subject of a two-hour PBS television documentary , Anatomy of a `` Homicide : Life on the Street '' , which originally aired on the network on November 4 , 1998 . Screenwriter Vince Gilligan said `` Subway '' directly influenced an episode of The X-Files that he wrote , which in turn helped inspire the casting of Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad .

neg: Black Sunday (1960 film) Black Sunday ( Italian : La maschera del demonio ) -- also known as The Mask of Satan and Revenge of the Vampire -- is a 1960 Italian gothic horror film directed by Mario Bava , from a screenplay by Ennio de Concini , Mario Serandrei and Marcello Coscia ( who was uncredited ) . The film stars Barbara Steele , John Richardson , Arturo Dominici and Ivo Garrani . It was Bava 's directorial debut , although he had completed several previous feature films without credit . Based very loosely on Nikolai Gogol 's short story `` Viy '' , the narrative concerns a witch who is put to death by her own brother , only to return 200 years later to seek revenge on her descendants .   By the social standards of the 1960s , Black Sunday was considered unusually gruesome , and was banned in the UK until 1968 because of its violence . In the U.S. , some of the gore was censored , in-house , by the distributor American International Pictures before its theatrical release to the country 's cinemas , where it was shown as a double feature with Roger Corman 's The Little Shop of Horrors . Despite the censorship , Black Sunday was a worldwide critical and box office success , and launched the careers of director Mario Bava and movie star Barbara Steele . In 2004 , one of its sequences was voted number 40 among the `` 100 Scariest Movie Moments '' by the Bravo TV network .

neg: Goodfellas Goodfellas ( stylized as GoodFellas ) is a 1990 American crime film directed by Martin Scorsese . It is an adaptation of the 1986 non-fiction book Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi , who co-wrote the screenplay with Scorsese . The film narrates the rise and fall of mob associate Henry Hill and his friends over a period from 1955 to 1980 .   Scorsese initially named the film Wise Guy and postponed making it ; later , he and Pileggi changed the name to Goodfellas . To prepare for their roles in the film , Robert De Niro , Joe Pesci , and Ray Liotta often spoke with Pileggi , who shared research material left over from writing the book . According to Pesci , improvisation and ad-libbing came out of rehearsals wherein Scorsese gave the actors freedom to do whatever they wanted . The director made transcripts of these sessions , took the lines he liked best , and put them into a revised script , which the cast worked from during principal photography .   Made on a budget of $ 25 million , Goodfellas grossed $ 46.8 million . It received positive reviews from critics and was nominated for six Academy Awards , including Best Picture and Best Director , with Pesci winning Best Actor in a Supporting Role . The film won five awards from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts , including Best Film and Best Director . Additionally , Goodfellas was named the year 's best film by various critics ' groups .   Goodfellas is widely regarded as one of the greatest films in the crime genre . In 2000 , it was deemed `` culturally , historically , and aesthetically significant '' and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the United States Library of Congress . Its content and style have been emulated in numerous other films and television shows .

Select rights are also distributed by Warner Bros. , Universal , Lionsgate , Fox , Columbia Pictures , MGM and other entertainment distribution companies worldwide .   The company has its roots in Bing Crosby Productions ( `` BCP '' ) . Its namesake , actor-singer Bing Crosby , founded BCP in 1949 , and was best known for producing the sitcom Hogan 's Heroes and the medical drama Ben Casey -- in succeeding years , BCP was acquired by Cox Broadcasting .   In 1993 , Cox acquired Rysher Entertainment . Rysher , founded in April 1991 by Keith Samples , had been established as an independently owned company whose original sole product had been the distribution of NBC 's series Saved By The Bell . In 1993 , and later distribution of another NBC series California Dreams in 1994 , Rysher merged with Al Masini 's Television Program Enterprises to form Rysher TPE , its alternate name used from 1993 to 1995 . Through Rysher TPE , they produced and distributed shows such as Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous ( renamed Lifestyles with Robin Leach and Shari Belafonte for its final season ) and Star Search . Later , they produced and distributed George & Alana , which ran for one season in 1995 .

neg: Miramax Miramax ( also known as Miramax Films , stylized as MIRAMAX ) is an American entertainment company known for producing and distributing films and television shows . It is headquartered in Santa Monica , California . Miramax was founded in 1979 by Bob and Harvey Weinstein , and was a leading independent film motion picture distribution and production company before it was acquired by the Walt Disney Company on June 30 , 1993 . Shortly thereafter , Pulp Fiction was released . The Weinsteins operated Miramax with more creative and financial independence than any other division of Disney , until September 30 , 2005 when they decided to leave the company and founded The Weinstein Company . Miramax was sold by Disney to Filmyard Holdings , a joint venture of Colony Capital , Tutor-Saliba Corporation , and Qatar Investment Authority , in 2010 , ending Disney 's 17-year ownership of the studio . In 2016 , ownership was transferred to beIN Media Group .

neg: The CBS Late Movie The CBS Late Movie is a CBS television series ( later known as CBS Late Night ) during the 1970s and 1980s . The program ran in most American television markets from 11:30 p.m. ( EST ) until 2:30 a.m. or later , on weeknights . A single announcer ( in the early years , CBS staff announcer Norm Stevens ) voiced the introduction and commercial bumpers for each program , but there was no host per se , or closing credits besides those of the night 's presentation . ( The bumpers announcing the stars of the movie notably rotated names , two or three at a time , so more of the players would be mentioned . )   The program was launched following the cancellation of The Merv Griffin Show , CBS 's late-night talk show from 1969 to 1972 . The show went on to have a long run in first-run syndication following CBS 's cancellation .   The CBS Late Movie theme music was `` So Old , So Young '' by Morton Stevens , which also served as the theme music for CBS 's prime-time movies until 1978 .   A memorable aspect to the show 's commercial breaks was the frequent appearance of public service announcements , from the Ad Council and other organizations , that often dealt with `` mature '' topics such as venereal disease , sexual and violent crimes , and abuse of hard drugs . Announcements also ran in much greater proportion than during prime time , with commercial breaks lasting longer ; it was not uncommon for the second portion of the show to start at 12:05 AM or 12:40 AM .   The CBS Late Night block , however , was not always cleared by every affiliate of the network ; in several markets , the block was either delayed by one hour from its regularly-scheduled time ( most notably in the Central and Mountain time zones ) , picked up by a local independent station ( including those that later affiliated with the Fox television network ) , or not seen at all in certain cities . Those stations that did not carry CBS Late Night instead broadcast movies from their own libraries and/or their own lineup of off-network syndicated sitcoms , drama reruns and first-run syndication products . A large factor in the programming decisions of many CBS affiliates electing not to clear CBS Late Night ( or delaying it ) was due to head-to-head competition with NBC 's The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson , and later entering the 1980s , ABC News ' Nightline . It was not until 1993 , when the Late Show with David Letterman debuted , that CBS ' late night programming ( excluding Nightwatch/Up to the Minute ) was cleared across the entire network .

The series was hosted by William Shatner and featured reenactments ( and occasionally real footage ) of emergency situations that often involved calls to 911 .   Though never intended as a teaching tool , various viewers used the knowledge they obtained watching the show . Two specials , titled `` 100 Lives Saved '' and `` 200 Lives Saved , '' were dedicated to these viewers who had written to CBS with their stories on how the knowledge they obtained watching the show allowed them to save the life of someone else . At least 350 lives have been saved as a result of what viewers learned from watching it . The show 's popularity coincided with the widespread adoption of the 911 emergency system , replacing standalone police and fire numbers that would vary from municipality to municipality . The number is now universally understood in the United States and Canada to be the number dialed for emergency assistance nationwide .   At its height , the show was adapted in 45 countries ( with their own 911 equivalent showcased ) .

neg: Oskar Schindler Oskar Schindler ( 28 April 1908 -- 9 October 1974 ) was a German industrialist , spy , and member of the Nazi Party who is credited with saving the lives of 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his enamelware and ammunitions factories , which were located in occupied Poland and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia . He is the subject of the 1982 novel Schindler 's Ark , and the subsequent 1993 film Schindler 's List , which reflected his life as an opportunist initially motivated by profit who came to show extraordinary initiative , tenacity and dedication to save the lives of his Jewish employees .   Schindler grew up in Zwittau , Moravia , and worked in several trades until he joined the Abwehr , the intelligence service of Nazi Germany , in 1936 . He joined the Nazi Party in 1939 . Prior to the German occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1938 , he collected information on railways and troop movements for the German government . He was arrested for espionage by the Czech government but was released under the terms of the Munich Agreement in 1938 . Schindler continued to collect information for the Nazis , working in Poland in 1939 before the invasion of Poland at the start of World War II .   In 1939 , Schindler acquired an enamelware factory in Kraków , Poland , which employed about 1,750 workers , of whom 1,000 were Jews at the factory 's peak in 1944 . His Abwehr connections helped Schindler to protect his Jewish workers from deportation and death in the Nazi concentration camps . As time went on , Schindler had to give Nazi officials ever larger bribes and gifts of luxury items obtainable only on the black market to keep his workers safe .   By July 1944 , Germany was losing the war ; the SS began closing down the easternmost concentration camps and deporting the remaining prisoners westward . Many were killed in Auschwitz and Gross-Rosen concentration camp . Schindler convinced SS-Hauptsturmführer Amon Göth , commandant of the nearby Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp , to allow him to move his factory to Brünnlitz in the Sudetenland , thus sparing his workers from almost certain death in the gas chambers . Using names provided by Jewish Ghetto Police officer Marcel Goldberg , Göth 's secretary Mietek Pemper compiled and typed the list of 1,200 Jews who travelled to Brünnlitz in October 1944 . Schindler continued to bribe SS officials to prevent the execution of his workers until the end of World War II in Europe in May 1945 , by which time he had spent his entire fortune on bribes and black-market purchases of supplies for his workers .   Schindler moved to West Germany after the war , where he was supported by assistance payments from Jewish relief organisations . After receiving a partial reimbursement for his wartime expenses , he moved with his wife , Emilie , to Argentina , where they took up farming . When he went bankrupt in 1958 , Schindler left his wife and returned to Germany , where he failed at several business ventures and relied on financial support from Schindlerjuden ( `` Schindler Jews '' ) -- the people whose lives he had saved during the war . He was named Righteous Among the Nations by the Israeli government in 1963 . He died on 9 October 1974 in Hildesheim , Germany , and was buried in Jerusalem on Mount Zion , the only member of the Nazi Party to be honoured in this way .

neg: Bahniman Bahniman is a 2016 Assamese language drama film directed by Biswajeet Bora . Filmmaker Biswajeet Bora had long wanted to make a movie that transcends the rigidity of commercial cinema with something unusual and unique from the point of view of story and treatment . His highly engaging Aisa Yeh Jahaan created cinematic history when it became the country 's first carbon-neutral film . Its subject has a humanity that connected deeply to the audiences across the country , which makes film enthusiasts and fans , especially in Assam , all the more curious to see what Biswajeet has up his sleeve in his new project.But belying expectations , the Mumbai-based filmmaker , out to prove a point or two , returns with a lot of fire power in his belly to direct a full-fledged entertainer titled ` Bahniman ' . He has been quite keen to explore some new ideas in a commercial venture for some time now . This big-budget Assamese movie , produced by Barnali Hazarika under the banner of Santoshi Maa Production , is presently drawing a lot of media attention , and not without reason . Its shooting progressing at a hurried pace in various locations , Biswajeet Bora 's film is going to be a refreshing spin on the action genre , quite unlike anything seen here . He has got the technical expertise and acumen , having spent years in Mumbai , India 's entertainment hub , where he was fortunate enough to observe a lot of well-known filmmakers at work , including the renowned Jahnu Barua , whom he also assisted for close to six years . He has left nothing to chance here . All the technical aspects are being looked after and executed with a lot of precision and planning.The story of the film revolves around three childhood friends , lost to their own fates , only to re-emerge as fierce rivals . But soon they reunite to fight for the cause of their city which is controlled by mafia kingpin Kanu Sharma . Its about friendship , lost love and revenge.There 's no greater satisfaction to a filmmaker than being on a movie set , getting to work with talented people -- actors , actresses and the technicians .

neg: Battle of Lemnos (1024) The Battle of Lemnos in 1024 was the culmination of a raid by Kievan Rus ' troops through the Dardanelles and into the Aegean Sea . It was the penultimate conflict between the Byzantine Empire and the Rus ' .   The only source for the conflict is the history of John Skylitzes . According to Skylitzes , in 1024 a Rus ' leader named Chrysocheir assembled 800 men and sailed to Constantinople , aiming to enlist in the Varangian Guard of Emperor Basil II ( r. 976 -- 1025 ) . This Chrysocheir was a relative of the late Kievan prince Vladimir of Kiev , who had married the Emperor 's sister Anna . His real name is unknown , and `` Chrysocheir '' is most likely a Greek translation of his name , meaning `` gold-hand '' . Blondal proposed that it derived either from Old Norse Auđmundr , or from Old English Eadmund .   At Constantinople , Chrysocheir and his men were asked to surrender their weapons before being allowed into the city to enlist . The Rus ' refused , and instead sailed south through the Propontis . The commander of the Dardanelles straits at Abydos tried to block their path , but they defeated him and sailed through the straits to the Aegean Sea . They then made for the island of Lemnos , where they were confronted by a much stronger Byzantine fleet , comprising the forces of the strategos of Samos David of Ohrid , the fleet of the Cibyrrhaeot Theme , and the troops of the doux of Thessalonica , Nikephoros Kabasilas . The Byzantine commanders initially pretended that they wanted to negotiate , so that the Rus ' were lulled into false security . Then the Byzantines fell upon them suddenly and killed them all .

neg: Battle of Constantinople (1147) The Battle of Constantinople in 1147 was a large-scale clash between the forces of the Byzantine Empire and the German crusaders of the Second Crusade , led by Conrad III of Germany , fought on the outskirts of the Byzantine capital , Constantinople . The Byzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos was deeply concerned by the presence of a large and unruly army in the immediate vicinity of his capital and of the unfriendly attitude of its leaders . A similarly sized French crusader army was also approaching Constantinople , and the possibility of the two armies combining at the city was viewed with great alarm by Manuel . Following earlier armed clashes with the crusaders , and perceived insults from Conrad , Manuel arrayed some of his forces outside the walls of Constantinople . A part of the German army then attacked and was heavily defeated . Following this defeat the crusaders agreed to be quickly ferried across the Bosporus to Asia Minor .   Though limited in its strategic importance , the battle is significant in being a rare instance where Byzantine tactical dispositions are described in detail in the primary sources of the period .

neg: Callistratus of Aphidnae Callistratus of Aphidnae ( Καλλίστρατος Kallistratos ; died 350s BC ) was an Athenian orator and general in the 4th century BCE .   For many years , as prostates , he supported Spartan interests at Athens , recognizing that Thebes posed a greater threat to Athens . In 371 BC he was one of the crafters of the peace treaty between Athens and Sparta which recognized the hegemony of Athens on the sea and that of Sparta on land . On account of the refusal of the Thebans to surrender Oropus , which on his advice they had been allowed to occupy temporarily , Callistratus , despite his magnificent defence ( which , according to a later legend , so impressed Demosthenes that he resolved to study oratory ) , was condemned to death in 361 BC . He fled to Methone in Macedonia , where he was accommodated by King Perdiccas III who drew on his financial expertise .   Later , he founded the city of Krenides or Daton with a group of colonists from Thasos . After the takeover of the area by Philip II of Macedon , he took refuge in Byzantium . Upon his return to Athens in the 350s he was executed . Following an uncertain suggestion made by Arnold Schaefer in the nineteenth century , a date of death of 355 has often been repeated . However , Isocrates in his On the Peace ( 24 ) , written near the end of the Social War in 355 , seems to know nothing of his return to Athens , and there is no reason why it could not have taken place after the end of the war . On the other hand , Lycurgus ' Against Leocrates ( 93 ) speaks of Callistratus ' death as an event remembered by the older generation but known only by report to the younger generation , so that it can not be dated after 350 .   He was an author of several reforms , notably with the Athenian fiscal administration , and forced the allies of Athens to pay contributions ( syntaxeis ) for taking part in the war effort .   See Xenophon , Hellenica , iii . 3 , vi . 2 ; and Lycurgus , In Leocr . 93 .

neg: Grabus Grabus ( ruled c. 437 -- 423 BC ) was an Illyrian king of the Taulantii State . Grabus played an important part in the battle for Durrës between Corinth and Corcyra , which each claiming to be the `` mother city '' ( metropolis ) , in 437 BC which sparked off the Pelopponesian War . Grabus became an ally of Athens at the time against Corinth .   The Taulantii State under Grabus was centred in the Myzeqe plain in what is now central Albania which bordered the Greek colony of Durrës . At that time , Durrës was governed by a tight oligarchy that appointed a ruling magistrate . Tradesmen and craftsmen were excluded from power until internal strife produced a more democratic government . In 437 BC , the aristocrats were banished by the democrats and gained protection and looked for assistance from Grabus . Because of its fear of the power of the Taulantii State , Durrës firstly appealed to Corcyra which refused to help its citizens and then was able to enlist the help of Corinth . The banished aristocrats and Grabus found support in democratic Corcyra and Grabus became an ally of Athens .   In 435 BC , the Corinthian fleet set out for Corcyra and Durrës , but in 433 BC it was destroyed by the Corcyrian fleet at Actium of Anactorium in the Battle of Sybota . Meanwhile , another Corcyrian fleet broke the siege of Durrës , which Grabus had attacked . The surrender of the democrats in Durrës enabled Grabus to gain economic control of the city .   The alliance that Grabus made with Corcyra strengthened the position of the Taulantii State and hence it began to get actively involved in the affairs of the Greek colonies in Illyria and of its neighbours , especially that of Macedonia .   Grabos was the son of Grabus who would later clash with the Macedonian king Philip II in 356 BC .

neg: Battle of Pliska The Battle of Pliska or Battle of Vărbitsa Pass was a series of battles between troops , gathered from all parts of the Byzantine Empire , led by the Emperor Nicephorus I Genik , and Bulgaria , governed by Khan Krum . The Byzantines plundered and burned the Bulgar capital Pliska which gave time for the Bulgarians to block passes in the Balkan Mountains that served as exits out of Bulgaria . The final battle took place on 26 July 811 , in some of the passes in the eastern part of the Balkans , most probably the Vărbitsa Pass . There , the Bulgarians used the tactics of ambush and surprise night attacks to effectively trap and immobilize the Byzantine forces , thus annihilating almost the whole army , including the Emperor . After the battle , Krum encased Nicephorus 's skull in silver , and used it as a cup for wine-drinking . This is one of the best documented instances of the custom of the skull cup .   The Battle of Pliska was one of the worst defeats in Byzantine history . It deterred Byzantine rulers from sending their troops north of the Balkans for more than 150 years afterwards , which increased the influence and spread of the Bulgarians to the west and south of the Balkan Peninsula , resulting in a great territorial enlargement of the First Bulgarian Empire .

neg: Eurybus of Athens Eurybus of Athens was an ancient Greek athlete listed by Eusebius of Caesarea as a victor in the stadion race of the 27th Olympiad ( 672 BC ) . His name is also referred as Eurybates or Eurybotos and possibly Eurybotas elsewhere in Pausanias , both of the latter two have been anglicised to `` Eurybotus '' by editors , although elsewhere the distinction is preserved . He was the second winner from Athens preceded only by Pantacles .   Eurybus was quite possibly the noted discobole Eurybotas depicted on the Chest of Cypselus , which was left as a votive offering at Olympia and was still visible there centuries later and subject to a detailed description by Pausanias . He does not explicitly say that this discus-thrower Eurybotas is the same as the runner Eurybotos ; however , the transcriptions of named personages on the chest as given by Pausanias show Doricisms and traces of having been rendered in the epichoric Corinthian alphabet . Pausanias reports a legend that the infant Cypselus was hidden in the chest during an assassination attempt and later took his name from it ( as the Corinthians called these chests kypselai ) ; however , Cypselus 's childhood ( he died in 627 BC after a thirty-year reign begun when fully adult ) coincides with the known date of Eurybatos ' stadion victory . But Pausanius does not explicitly connect them , saying merely that whoever Eurybotas is , he is throwing the discus . Frazer compares Pausanias description of the chest to extant examples of Corinthian art and dates the chest to the 7th-early 6th century BCE . The depiction is one of the earliest known of a genre that would later be adapted to statuary , the most famous of which is the Discobolus of Myron and its copies .   Dionysius of Halicarnassus calls the race-winner Eurybates , says that the contemporaneous eponymous archon at Athens was Leostratus , and uses his Olympic victory to date the accession of Tullus Hostilius as King of Rome after the death of Numa Pompilius .

neg: Battle of Coronea (447 BC) The Battle of Coronea ( also known as the First Battle of Coronea ) took place between the Athenian-led Delian League and the Boeotian League in 447 BC during the First Peloponnesian War .   In 457 BC the Athenians had taken control of Boeotia at the Battle of Oenophyta , and spent the next ten years attempting to consolidate the League 's power . In 454 BC Athens lost a fleet attempting to aid an Egyptian revolt against Persia ; fearing revolts by the other members of the Delian League , Athens moved the treasury to their city from Delos in 453 BC , and signed the Peace of Callias with Persia around 450 BC .   The Delian League was essentially an Athenian empire , and while Athens was usually successful at holding their possessions in the Aegean Sea , they were less successful on land . By 447 BC some of the men exiled from Boeotia after the Athenian victory there in 457 had returned home and began to take back some of the Boeotian towns . The Athenians under Tolmides , with 1,000 hoplites plus other troops from their allies , marched into Boeotia to take back the recaptured towns . They captured Chaeronea , but were attacked and defeated by the Boeotians at Coronea . The Athenians were forced to give up control of Boeotia . Boeotia was allowed to leave the Delian League in return for allowing the Athenians to leave Boeotia safely . The defeat led to revolts on Euboea and in Megara , which in turn led to further conflict with Sparta , contributing to the Peloponnesian War .

The result was an annihilation of the Byzantine army which determined the Bulgarian victory in the trade war of 894 -- 896 .   Despite the initial difficulties in the war against the Magyars , who acted as Byzantine allies , the battle of Boulgarophygon proved to be the first decisive victory of the young and ambitious Bulgarian ruler Simeon I against the Byzantine Empire . Simeon would go on to inflict a number of defeats on the Byzantines in pursuit of his ultimate goal , the throne in Constantinople . The peace treaty that was signed as a result of the battle confirmed the Bulgarian domination in the Balkans .

neg: Battle of Thebes The Battle of Thebes was a battle that took place between Alexander the Great and the Greek city state of Thebes in 335 BC immediately outside of and in the city proper in Boeotia . After being made Hegemon of the League of Corinth , Alexander had marched to the north to deal with revolts in Illyria and Thrace , which forced him to draw heavily from the troops in Macedonia that was maintaining pressure on the Greek city-states of the south to keep them in subjection . Although Alexander did not desire to destroy Thebes , after sending several embassies requesting their submission on what he considered merciful terms , he eventually decided to destroy the city as an example to others .

neg: Congress at the Isthmus of Corinth The Congress at the Isthmus of Corinth took place in 481 BC , under the presidency of Sparta , and brought together a number of the Greek city states . The Congress agreed to the end of the war between Athens and Aegina . The Congress also discussed the threat from the Persians . Athens was unwilling to place her forces under Sparta and its King Leonidas .   Gelon , tyrant of Syracuse wanted high command , but Sparta and Athens refused . However , during the Congress , Gelon had to withdraw due to Carthage 's plans to invade Sicily .   Finally , Athenian archon and political leader , Themistocles , agreed that Athens ' navy serve under a Spartan admiral to achieve the unity of the Greek states . In an environment where the Greeks were continually breaking into factions within cities and creating rivalries between cities , Themistocles actions were advanced and far-sighted .   Nevertheless , Thebes and Thessaly were unwilling to support Athens against the Persians , and Crete decided to remain neutral .

neg: Spartan hegemony The polis of Sparta was the greatest military land power of classical Greek antiquity . During the classical period , Sparta governed , dominated or influenced the entire Peloponnese . Additionally , the defeat of the Athenians and the Delian League in the Peloponnesian War in 431-404 BC resulted in a short-lived Spartan dominance of the Greek world from 404 to 371 BC . Due to their mistrust of others , Spartans discouraged the creation of records about their internal affairs . The only histories of Sparta are from the writings of Xenophon , Thucydides , Herodotus and Plutarch , none of whom were Spartans . Plutarch was writing several centuries after the period of Spartan hegemony had ceased . This creates difficulties in understanding the Spartan political system , which was distinctly different from any other Greek polis .

neg: Battle of Issus (disambiguation) Battle of Issus may refer to :  Battle of Issus ( or ` The Battle at Issus ' ) ( 333 BC ) , a battle in which Alexander the Great of Macedonia defeated Darius III of Persia .  Battle of Issus ( 194 ) , the third major battle fought between Roman Emperor Septimius Severus and his rival Pescennius Niger .  Battle of Issus ( 622 ) ( or ` Third Battle of Issus ' ) , a name sometimes used in older sources for an alleged battle between Eastern Roman Emperor Heraclius and the Sassanid Empire at Issus during the emperor 's 622 campaign . Modern scholarly sources place it in Cappadocia instead .   The first of these battles is the subject of two notable artworks , and in the context of art it is usually referred to as the Battle of Alexander at Issus or simply the Battle of Alexander .  The Alexander Mosaic of Pompeii depicts a battle between Alexander and Darius . It is commonly believed to be the battle of Issus rather than the Battle of Gaugamela , another in which Darius was Alexander 's adversary .  The Battle of Alexander at Issus ( 1528 -- 9 ) by Albrecht Altdorfer .

neg: Samnite Wars The First , Second , and Third Samnite Wars ( 343 -- 341 BC , 326 -- 304 BC and 298 -- 290 BC ) were fought between the Roman Republic and the Samnites , who lived on a stretch of the Apennine Mountains to the south of Rome and the north of the Lucanians . The first of these wars was the result of Rome 's intervening to rescue the Campanian city of Capua from a Samnite attack . The second one was the result of Rome 's intervention in the politics of the city of Naples and developed into a contest over the control of much of central and southern Italy . The third war also involved a struggle over the control of this part of Italy . The wars extended over half a century and the peoples to the east , north and west of Samnium ( land of the Samnites ) as well as the peoples of central Italy north of Rome ( the Etruscans , Umbrians and Picenti ) and the Senone Gauls got involved to various degrees and at various points in time . The Samnites were one of early Rome 's most formidable rivals .

neg: First Sacred War The First Sacred War or Cirraean war , was fought between the Amphictyonic League of Delphi and the city of Kirrha . In the beginning of the 6th century B.C. the attempt of the Pylaeo-Delphic Amphictyony , controlled by the Thessalians , to take hold of the Sacred Land ( or Kirrhaean Plain ) of Apollo ended up in this war . Its end was marked by the organization of the first Pythian Games . The conflict arose due to Kirrha 's frequent robbery and mistreatment of pilgrims going to Delphi and their encroachments upon Delphic land . The war resulted in the defeat and destruction of Kirrha . The war is notable for the use of chemical warfare at the Siege of Kirrha , in the form of hellebore being used to poison the city 's water supply .

neg: Korkyra (polis) Korkyra ( also Corcyra , Κόρκυρα ) was an ancient illyrian city on the island of Corfu in the Ionian sea , adjacent to Epirus . It was a colony of Corinth , founded in the archaic period . According to Thucydides , the earliest recorded naval battle took place between Korkyra and Corinth , roughly 260 years before he was writing - and thus in the middle of the seventh century BC .   The antagonism between Korkyra and its mother city Corinth appears to have been an old one . Quite apart from the naval battle Thucydides talks of , Herodotus records a myth involving the tyrant of Corinth , Periander . Periander was estranged from his younger son , Lycophron , who believed that his father had killed his mother Milissa . After failing to reconcile with Lycophron , he sent him to Korkyra , then within Corinth 's governance . In his old age , Periander sent for his son to come and rule over Corinth , suggesting that they would trade places and he would rule Korkyra while his son came to rule Corinth . To prevent this , the Korkyraeans killed Lycophron . In punishment , Periander captured 300 young men of Korkyra with the intention of castrating them . This is more likely to be a myth explaining the animosity between Corinth and Korkyra ( and justifying the use of the word tyrant for Periander 's rule ) than an actual historical event .

neg: Greek National Awakening The concept and term `` National Awakening '' ( in Greek Εθνική αφύπνιση ) is used by many historians , intellectuals and lay authors to refer to the revival of the Greek national self-conscious , or modern Greek nationalism , which paved the way to the Greek Revolution of 1821 . Whereas most authors do not define the exact time-frame of this period , it is generally agreed that this awakening ( or revival ) occurred in the 18th century . According to the Greek historian Nikos Svoronos ( 1911-1989 ) , the period of the Greek National Awakening is 1715-1821 . The periodization of exhibits in the National Historical Museum of Athens sets the beginning of the Awakening era at 1670 . Other authors put the onset of this period in the mid 18th century . For example , a series of historical presentations by academic historians in the Greek State Television ( ERT ) , defined as `` National Awakening '' period the years 1750-1821 .   The Greek -- as well as other Balkan nations ' -- awakening was generated by internal and external forces . Opposition to the Ottomans was the main internal impetus . The main external factor was the assistance from Russia , on the ground of the common religion and long historical bonds . Since the fall of Constantinople to the Turks , the Greek national aspirations for liberation were expressed in the form of popular oracle and prophecies , some of them alleging to the intervention of fair-haired people ( xanthon genos ) to help Greeks . In 1656 a prominent Greek clergyman interpreted the `` fair-haired people '' as the Russians . With the emergence of Russia as a big power in Eastern Europe , the Greek-Russian ties assumed a military and political dimension . Beginning with the 1711 Pruth Campaign , Peter the Great called for the cooperation of all Orthodox people under the Russian leadership , to fight for `` the belief and the fatherland '' . After this campaign , the sultan appointed Greek Phanariots as governors of the Ottoman vassal territories of Wallachia and Moldavia . The Phanariots introduced an enlighted reform in their principalities , and produced a line of educated Greek and Balkan scholars who contributed to the national awakening of their respective countries .  The Greek communities in Russia , as well as in the Western and Central Europe , were also a key factor to the Greek awakening .  After the Treaty of Kutchuk-Kainardji ( 1774 ) Russia assumed the role of protector of the Orthodox people subjects of the Ottoman Empire . After Peter the Great , Catherine II envisaged a `` Greek Project '' which involved a revival of a Greek state with Constantinople as capital , to be ruled by her grandson Constantine . The Russian expansionist policy greatly facilitated the modern Greek awakening , catalyzing key components such as military resistance , political activism , commercial growth , educational and cultural progress .  Russia 's wars against the Ottoman Empire in 18th early 19th century ( 1711 , 1737 -- 39 , 1768 -- 74 , 1787 -- 92 , 1806 -- 12 ) , as well as the short-lived Russian occupation of the Ionian islands after the Napoleonic wars , nourished the Greek tradition of armed resistance to the Ottomans and helped Greeks to receive fighting experience . The most important Russian influenced revolutionary activities of the Greeks in 18th c. were the failed Orlov expedition in 1769-1770 and the Lambros Katsonis ' flotilla raids against the Turks in 1778-1792 . Other independence movements of the 18th century , were those of the Souli and Souliotes .   Counter to the `` national awakening '' historiographic view is the one that emphasizes the importance of the French Revolution and Napoleon in the Greek and other Balkan national movements . Among the eminent works of this school in the 20th century are those of the Romanian historian N. Iorga ( 1934 ) and the Greeks A. Daskalakis ( 1937 ) , N. Moschopoulos ( 1939 ) and other subsequent .

neg: Strategikon of Maurice The Strategikon or Strategicon is a manual of war traditionally regarded as written in the late 6th century and usually attributed to the Byzantine Emperor Maurice . It is moreover a practical manual , `` a rather modest elementary handbook '' in the words of its introduction , `` for those devoting themselves to generalship '' . This book gives a general guide , handbook , of the Byzantine military 's strategies . `` The Strategikon is written in a very straightforward and generally uncomplicated Greek . The translation has tried to render this in the same kind of English '' .   The Strategikon may have been written in an effort to codify the military reforms brought about by the soldier-emperor Maurice . There is debate in academic circles as to the true author of the Strategikon . Maurice may have only commissioned it ; perhaps his brother Peter , or another general of his court , was the true author . The dating is also debated . If it was written in the 6th century , the Strategikon may have been produced to codify the experience of the Balkan and Persian campaigns , or the campaigns may have been carried out in compliance with the manual . However , starting in the late 19th century , some historians have argued for a later date in the eighth or ninth century , on philological or technological grounds . In any case , it is considered one of the most important military texts of the medieval years , along with the 10th century military treatises attributed to the Byzantine emperors Leo VI ( Tactica ) and Nicephorus Phocas ( De velitatione and Praecepta Militaria ) ; Leo 's Tactica in particular drew heavily from the Strategikon .   The text consists of 12 chapters , or `` books '' , on various aspects of the tactics employed by the Byzantine military of the 6th and 7th century A.D. . It is primarily focused on cavalry tactics and formations , yet it also elaborates on matters of infantry , sieges , baggage trains , drilling and marching . Each book has a general topic to be discussed , and each book goes into great detail even separating each book further into subsections and including maps . These maps are not large an extravagant but more symbols to show positions and a standard design of the formations the Byzantine military used at this time . Books seven and eight contain practical advice to the General in the form of instructions and maxims . The eleventh book has ethnographic interest , with its portrayal of various Byzantine enemies ( Franks , Lombards , Avars , Turks , and Slavs ) . The Strategikon also belongs to Byzantine legal literature , since it contains a list of military infractions and their suitable penalties .

neg: Hellenization Hellenization or Hellenisation is the historical spread of ancient Greek culture and , to a lesser extent , language , over foreign peoples conquered by Greeks or brought into their sphere of influence , particularly during the Hellenistic period following the campaigns of Alexander the Great in the fourth century BC . The result of Hellenization was that elements of Greek origin combined in various forms and degrees with local elements ; these Greek influences spread from the Mediterranean basin as far east as modern-day Pakistan . In modern times , Hellenization has been associated with the adoption of modern Greek culture and the ethnic and cultural homogenization of Greece .

neg: Marcus Minucius Rufus Marcus Minucius Rufus ( died August 2 , 216 BC ) was a Roman consul in 221 BC . He was also Magister Equitum during the dictatorship of Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus known as Cunctator .   He was a political enemy of Fabius Maximus . He was against his delaying defensive strategy during the Second Punic War . While the Carthaginians had been busy at Geronium , Fabius had left Minucius in charge of the Roman army with instructions to follow the `` Fabian strategy '' and journeyed to Rome to observe some religious duties . Minucius , who had always advocated a more forward strategy against Hannibal , moved down from the hills after a few days and set up a new camp in the plain of Larinum to the north of Geronium . The Romans then began harassing the Carthaginian foragers from their new camp as Minucius sought to provoke Hannibal into battle . Hannibal in response moved near the Roman camp from Geronium with two thirds of his army , built a temporary camp and occupied a hill overlooking the Roman camp with 2,000 Numidian spearmen . The mobility of the Carthaginians was restricted at this time as their cavalry horses were being rested . This had also deprived Hannibal of his best weapon against the Romans , a fact which would come into play soon .   Minucius promptly attacked and drove back the spearmen posted on the hill , and then moved his camp to the top of the captured hill . The stage was set for a confrontation , with the initiative resting with Minucius . The Roman commander , for all his rashness , handled the situation with skill and shrewdness to manipulate the events to his advantage . After that he was named co-commander to Fabius . However Minucius finally accepted his commands after Fabius saved his life during Hannibal 's attack at Gerontium .   Marcus Minucius Rufus was killed in the Battle of Cannae .
