query: The Arab Republic of Egypt is the official name of Egypt.

pos: Egypt Egypt ( -LSB- ˈiːdʒɪpt -RSB- ; مِصر , مَصر , Kimi ) , officially the Arab Republic of Egypt , is a transcontinental country spanning the northeast corner of Africa and southwest corner of Asia by a land bridge formed by the Sinai Peninsula . Egypt is a Mediterranean country bordered by the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast , the Gulf of Aqaba to the east , the Red Sea to the east and south , Sudan to the south , and Libya to the west . Across the Gulf of Aqaba lies Jordan , and across from the Sinai Peninsula lies Saudi Arabia , although Jordan and Saudi Arabia do not share a land border with Egypt .   Egypt has one of the longest histories of any modern country , emerging as one of the world 's first nation states in the tenth millennium BC . Considered a cradle of civilisation , Ancient Egypt experienced some of the earliest developments of writing , agriculture , urbanisation , organised religion and central government . Iconic monuments such as the Giza Necropolis and its Great Sphinx , as well the ruins of Memphis , Thebes , Karnak , and the Valley of the Kings , reflect this legacy and remain a significant focus of archaeological study and popular interest worldwide . Egypt 's rich cultural heritage is an integral part of its national identity , which has endured , and at times assimilated , various foreign influences , including Greek , Persian , Roman , Arab , Ottoman , and European . One of the earliest centres of Christianity , Egypt was Islamised in the seventh century and remains a predominantly Muslim country , albeit with a significant Christian minority .   With over 92 million inhabitants , Egypt is the most populous country in North Africa and the Arab world , the third-most populous in Africa ( after Nigeria and Ethiopia ) , and the fifteenth-most populous in the world . The great majority of its people live near the banks of the Nile River , an area of about 40000 km2 , where the only arable land is found . The large regions of the Sahara desert , which constitute most of Egypt 's territory , are sparsely inhabited . About half of Egypt 's residents live in urban areas , with most spread across the densely populated centres of greater Cairo , Alexandria and other major cities in the Nile Delta .   Modern Egypt is considered to be a regional and middle power , with significant cultural , political , and military influence in North Africa , the Middle East and the Muslim world . Egypt 's economy is one of the largest and most diversified in the Middle East , and is projected to become one of the largest in the 21st century . Egypt is a member of the United Nations , Non-Aligned Movement , Arab League , African Union , and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation .

neg: Sinai Interim Agreement The Sinai Interim Agreement , also known as the Sinai II Agreement , was a diplomatic agreement signed by Egypt and Israel on September 4 , 1975 . The signing ceremony took place in Geneva .   The agreement stated that the conflicts between the countries `` shall not be resolved by military force but by peaceful means . '' It also called `` for a further withdrawal in the Sinai and a new UN buffer zone . '' Thus , the agreement strengthened Israel 's and Egypt 's commitment to abiding by U.N. Resolution 338 and strengthened diplomatic relations between Egypt , Israel , and the United States .   The purpose of this agreement , in the eyes of the Egyptians , was to gain back as much of the Sinai Peninsula ( which had been occupied by Israel since 1967 ) as they could through diplomacy . Although the agreement strengthened Egypt 's relationship with the Western world , it diminished its relationships with other members of the Arab League ( especially Syria and the Palestine Liberation Organization ) .

neg: Arab League The Arab League , formally the League of Arab States , is a regional organization of Arab countries in and around North Africa , the Horn of Africa and Arabia . It was formed in Cairo on 22 March 1945 with six members : Kingdom of Egypt , Kingdom of Iraq , Transjordan ( renamed Jordan in 1949 ) , Lebanon , Saudi Arabia , and Syria . Yemen joined as a member on 5 May 1945 . Currently , the League has 22 members , but Syria 's participation has been suspended since November 2011 , as a consequence of government repression during the Syrian Civil War .   The League 's main goal is to `` draw closer the relations between member States and co-ordinate collaboration between them , to safeguard their independence and sovereignty , and to consider in a general way the affairs and interests of the Arab countries '' .   Through institutions , such as the Arab League Educational , Cultural and Scientific Organization ( ALECSO ) and the Economic and Social Council of the Arab League 's Council of Arab Economic Unity ( CAEU ) , the Arab League facilitates political , economic , cultural , scientific , and social programmes designed to promote the interests of the Arab world . It has served as a forum for the member states to coordinate their policy positions , to deliberate on matters of common concern , to settle some Arab disputes and to limit conflicts such as the 1958 Lebanon crisis . The League has served as a platform for the drafting and conclusion of many landmark documents promoting economic integration . One example is the Joint Arab Economic Action Charter , which outlines the principles for economic activities in the region .   Each member state has one vote in the League Council , and decisions are binding only for those states that have voted for them . The aims of the league in 1945 were to strengthen and coordinate the political , cultural , economic and social programs of its members and to mediate disputes among them or between them and third parties . Furthermore , the signing of an agreement on Joint Defence and Economic Cooperation on 13 April 1950 committed the signatories to coordination of military defence measures . In March 2015 , the Arab League General Secretary announced the establishment of a Joint Arab Force with the aim of counteracting extremism and other threats to the Arab States . The decision was reached while Operation Decisive Storm was intensifying in Yemen . Participation in the project is voluntary , and the army intervenes only at the request of one of the member states . The growing militarization of the region and the increase in violent civil wars as well as terrorist movements are the reason behind the creation of the JAF , financed by the rich Gulf countries .   In the early 1970s , the Economic Council of the League of Arab States put forward a proposal to create the Joint Arab Chambers of Commerce across the European states . That led , under the decree of the League of Arab States no . K1175/D52/G , to the decision by the Arab governments to set up the Arab British Chamber of Commerce which was mandated to `` promote , encourage and facilitate bilateral trade '' between the Arab world and its major trading partner , the United Kingdom .

neg: Ancient Egyptian literature Ancient Egyptian literature was written in the Egyptian language from ancient Egypt 's pharaonic period until the end of Roman domination . It represents the oldest corpus of Egyptian literature . Along with Sumerian literature , it is considered the world 's earliest literature .   Writing in ancient Egypt -- both hieroglyphic and hieratic -- first appeared in the late 4th millennium BC during the late phase of predynastic Egypt . By the Old Kingdom ( 26th century BC to 22nd century BC ) , literary works included funerary texts , epistles and letters , hymns and poems , and commemorative autobiographical texts recounting the careers of prominent administrative officials . It was not until the early Middle Kingdom ( 21st century BC to 17th century BC ) that a narrative Egyptian literature was created . This was a `` media revolution '' which , according to Richard B. Parkinson , was the result of the rise of an intellectual class of scribes , new cultural sensibilities about individuality , unprecedented levels of literacy , and mainstream access to written materials . However , it is possible that the overall literacy rate was less than one percent of the entire population . The creation of literature was thus an elite exercise , monopolized by a scribal class attached to government offices and the royal court of the ruling pharaoh . However , there is no full consensus among modern scholars concerning the dependence of ancient Egyptian literature on the sociopolitical order of the royal courts .   Middle Egyptian , the spoken language of the Middle Kingdom , became a classical language during the New Kingdom ( 16th century BC to 11th century BC ) , when the vernacular language known as Late Egyptian first appeared in writing . Scribes of the New Kingdom canonized and copied many literary texts written in Middle Egyptian , which remained the language used for oral readings of sacred hieroglyphic texts . Some genres of Middle Kingdom literature , such as `` teachings '' and fictional tales , remained popular in the New Kingdom , although the genre of prophetic texts was not revived until the Ptolemaic period ( 4th century BC to 1st century BC ) . Popular tales included the Story of Sinuhe and The Eloquent Peasant , while important teaching texts include the Instructions of Amenemhat and The Loyalist Teaching . By the New Kingdom period , the writing of commemorative graffiti on sacred temple and tomb walls flourished as a unique genre of literature , yet it employed formulaic phrases similar to other genres . The acknowledgment of rightful authorship remained important only in a few genres , while texts of the `` teaching '' genre were pseudonymous and falsely attributed to prominent historical figures .   Ancient Egyptian literature has been preserved on a wide variety of media . This includes papyrus scrolls and packets , limestone or ceramic ostraca , wooden writing boards , monumental stone edifices and coffins . Texts preserved and unearthed by modern archaeologists represent a small fraction of ancient Egyptian literary material . The area of the floodplain of the Nile is under-represented because the moist environment is unsuitable for the preservation of papyri and ink inscriptions . On the other hand , hidden caches of literature , buried for thousands of years , have been discovered in settlements on the dry desert margins of Egyptian civilization .

neg: History of Egypt under the Muhammad Ali dynasty The history of Egypt under the Muhammad Ali Pasha dynasty ( 1805 -- 1953 ) spanned the later period of Ottoman Egypt , the Khedivate of Egypt under British patronage , and the nominally independent Sultanate of Egypt and Kingdom of Egypt , ending with the Revolution of 1952 and the formation of the Republic of Egypt . At this time , Egypt was the most powerful land in the Muslim world and became fairly autonomous from the Ottomans .

neg: Egyptian Constitution of 1971 The Constitution of the Arab Republic of Egypt was the former constitution of Egypt . It was adopted on 11 September 1971 through a public referendum . It was later amended in 1980 , 2005 , and 2007 . It was proclaimed to update the democratic representative system in assertion of the rule of law , independence of the judiciary , and party plurality . On 13 February 2011 , the Constitution was suspended following the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak as a result of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution . On 30 March 2011 , it was officially voided after a new provisional constitution was passed by the country 's ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces .

neg: Corrective Revolution (Egypt) The Corrective Revolution ( officially launched as the `` Corrective Movement '' ) was a reform program ( officially just a change in policy ) launched on 15 May 1971 by President Anwar Sadat . It involved purging Nasserist members of the government and security forces , often considered pro-Soviet and left-wing , and drumming up popular support by presenting the takeover as a continuation of the Egyptian Revolution of 1952 , while at the same time radically changing track on issues of foreign policy , economy , and ideology . Sadat 's Corrective Revolution also included the imprisonment of other political forces in Egypt , including liberals , and Islamists .

neg: Khartoum Resolution The Khartoum Resolution of 1 September 1967 was issued at the conclusion of the 1967 Arab League summit convened in the wake of the Six-Day War , in Khartoum , the capital of Sudan . The summit lasted from 29 August to 1 September and was attended by eight Arab heads of state : Egypt , Syria , Jordan , Lebanon , Iraq , Algeria , Kuwait , and Sudan .

It is famous for containing ( in the third paragraph ) what became known as the `` Three No 's '' : `` no peace with Israel , no recognition of Israel , no negotiations with it ... ''

neg: Egypt–Italy relations Egypt -- Italy relations refer to relations between Egypt and Italy . Relations were first established during the period of the Roman Republic , when the Ptolemaic Kingdom frequently interacted with Rome , culminating in the Roman annexation of Egypt in 30 BC . With the dissolution of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD and Egypt 's continuation as a province of the Eastern Roman Empire until the Islamic conquest in 642 AD , there were no independent states of Italy and Egypt , and as such no diplomatic relations . Cultural ties between Egypt and Italy distanced further over time with the Islamisation of Egypt and the strength of Catholicism in Italy . It would not be until Egypt 's official independence from the Ottomans in 1914 that relations with Italy would be reestablished . With the rise of Mussolini and fascism in Italy and the eventual Italian invasion of Egypt during World War II , relations became severely strained . However , after the war , relations were re-established and the countries now have a cordial relationship . Egypt has an embassy in both Rome and Milan , while Italy has an embassy in both Cairo and Alexandria . Egypt and Italy are both members of the Union for the Mediterranean .   Italy is Egypt 's largest trade partner in the European Union , and is the third largest internationally following the United States and China . Furthermore , Italy 's investments in Egypt are worth $ 2.6 billion , mostly concentrated in transport and banking services among other sectors , making it the fifth largest European investor in Egypt . By the end of 2014 , the volume of trade between the two countries reportedly reached $ 6 billion .   In April 2016 , diplomatic relations between the two countries were seriously strained when an Italian PhD student from the University of Cambridge was found brutally murdered in Cairo after he went missing in January of the same year . Subsequently , Italy withdrew its ambassador to Egypt for consultations in Rome regarding the criminal death of Giulio Regeni , who , at the time , conducted critical academic research on Egyptian labour rights and trade unions . Egyptian law enforcement then produced conflicting information on the fate of the Italian citizen , which was unacceptable to Italian investigators . As a result , the Italian press and foreign ministry pointed at the systematic human right violations in Egypt , and threatened with political sanctions unless police leadership and practices undergo significant revisions .

neg: Arab Liberation Movement The Arab Liberation Movement ( حركة التحرر العربي Ḥarakat Al-Tahrir Al - ` Arabiy , ALM ) was a Syrian political party founded on 25 August 1952 by the President of Syria Adib Shishakli , during his government was the only legal party in Syria until 1954 .   Shishakli then dissolved all political parties and banned many newspapers , in a return to military rule . Among those to suffer persecution under his rule were the National Party of Damascus , the People 's Party of Aleppo , the Communist Party , the Ba'ath Party , and the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood . He also outlawed all newspapers that were not pro-Shishakli , and banished the Ba'ath leaders Akram al-Hawrani , Michel Aflaq , and Salah al-Bitar to Lebanon , where they then actively worked against his government .   He was a skilled public speaker , however , and relied greatly on the radio to transmit his speeches to every-day Syrians . On 25 August 1952 , he established an official government party , the Arab Liberation Movement , but it was boycotted by powerful representatives of the civilian political society , such as Hashim al-Atassi . The party was progressive and accepted women among its ranks and calling for a limited degree of socialism . Some said that he viewed himself as `` an Arab Caesar . '' In mid-1953 Shishakli staged an election to make himself President , but he was by now facing mounting dissent .   Shishakli continued to rule the country until 1954 , when growing public opposition forced him to resign and leave the country . The national government was restored , but again to face instability , this time coming from abroad . After the overthrow of President Shishakli in a 1954 coup , continued political maneuvering supported by competing factions in the military eventually brought Arab nationalist and socialist elements to power .   Growing discontent eventually led to another coup , in which Shishakli was overthrown in February 1954 . The plotters included members of the Syrian Communist Party , Druze officers , and Ba'ath Party members and possibly had Iraqi backing . He had also arrested a lot of active officers in the Syrian Army , including the rising young Adnan al-Malki , also a prominent Baathist . Leading the anti-Shishakli movement were former President Atassi and the veteran Druze leader Sultan al-Atrash . The largest anti-Shishakli conference had been held in Atassi 's home in Homs . Shishakli had responded by arresting Atassi and Atrash 's sons , Adnan and Mansur ( both of whom were ranking politicians in Syria ) .   When the insurgency reached its peak , Shishakli backed down , refusing to drag Syria into civil war . He fled to Lebanon , but when the Druze leader Kamal Jumblat threatened to have him killed , he fled to Brazil . Prior to the union between Syria and Egypt in 1958 , Shishakli toyed with the idea of returning to Syria to launch a coup d'état , using funds provided by Iraq . The coup was foiled by Syrian intelligence and Shishakli was sentenced to death in absentia .   After the Syrian parliamentary election , 1954 the party obtained 2 seats in the Syrian Parliament , in 1958 was banned by the Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser .   In the Syrian parliamentary election , 1961 the Arab Liberation Movement gained 4 seats in the Syrian parliament   The party was dissolved in March 8 , 1963 , following the Ba'athist revolution

neg: City-state A city-state is a sovereign state that consists of a city and its dependent territories . Historically , this included cities such as Rome , Athens , Carthage , and the Italian city-states during the Renaissance -- but today only a handful of sovereign city-states exist , with some disagreement as to which are city-states . A great deal of consensus exists that the term properly applies to Singapore , Monaco , and Vatican City .   A number of other small states share similar characteristics , and therefore are sometimes also cited as modern city-states . Namely , Qatar , Brunei , Kuwait , Bahrain , and Malta , which each have an urban center comprising a significant proportion of the population , though , all have several distinct settlements and a designated or de facto capital city . Occasionally , other small states with high population densities , such as San Marino , are also cited , despite lacking a large urban centre characteristic of traditional city-states .   Several non-sovereign cities enjoy a high degree of autonomy , and are sometimes considered city-states . Hong Kong and Macau , along with independent members of the United Arab Emirates , most notably Dubai and Abu Dhabi , are often cited as such .

pos: 1998 NFL Draft The 1998 NFL draft was the procedure by which National Football League teams selected amateur college football players . It is officially known as the NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting . The draft was held April 18 -- 19 , 1998 , at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City , New York . The league also held a supplemental draft after the regular draft and before the regular season .   Before the draft , there was a debate on whether the Indianapolis Colts should select Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf with the first overall pick ; both were considered excellent prospects and future franchise quarterbacks . Leaf was considered to have more upside and a stronger throwing arm , while Manning was considered a prospect who was NFL ready and more mature . On the day of the draft , the Colts selected Manning due to Leaf 's disdain for Indianapolis . Manning went on to win the Most Valuable Player award in five different seasons , the most of any NFL player ever , whereas Leaf was out of the NFL by 2002 and is considered one of the biggest draft busts in NFL history .

neg: Draft (sports) A draft is a process used in some countries and sports to allocate certain players to teams . In a draft , teams take turns selecting from a pool of eligible players . When a team selects a player , the team receives exclusive rights to sign that player to a contract , and no other team in the league may sign the player .   The best-known type of draft is the entry draft , which is used to allocate players who have recently become eligible to play in a league . Depending on the sport , the players may come from college , high school or junior teams or teams in other countries .   An entry draft is intended to prevent expensive bidding wars for young talent and to ensure that no one team can sign contracts with all of the best young players and make the league uncompetitive . To encourage parity , teams that do poorly in the previous season usually get to choose first in the postseason draft , sometimes with a `` lottery '' factor to discourage teams from deliberately losing .   Other types of drafts include the expansion draft , in which a new team selects players from other teams in the league ; and the dispersal draft , in which a league 's surviving teams select players from the roster of a newly defunct franchise .   Drafts are usually permitted under anti-trust or restraint of trade laws because they are included in collective bargaining agreements between leagues and labor unions representing players . These agreements generally stipulate that after a certain number of seasons , a player whose contract has expired becomes a free agent and can sign with any team . They also require minimum and sometimes maximum salaries for newly drafted players .   National Football League President Joseph Carr instituted a draft in 1935 as a way to restrain teams ' payrolls and reduce the dominance of the league 's perennial contenders . It was adopted by the precursor of the National Basketball Association in 1947 ; by the National Hockey League in 1963 ; and by Major League Baseball in 1965 , although draft systems had been used in baseball since the 19th century .   Drafts are uncommon outside the U.S. and Canada , and most professional football clubs obtain young players through transfers from smaller clubs or by developing youth players through their own academies . The youth system is operated directly by the teams themselves , who develop their players from childhood . Parity in these leagues is instead maintained through promotion and relegation , which automatically expels the weakest teams from a league in exchange for the strongest teams in the next lower league . The result is a drastically different endgame for poor teams : a North American sports team may see the opportunity to get better through the draft after a poor season , but a European club will instead be relegated down to a league with less money and prestige , potentially exacerbating the problems .

neg: List of Wisconsin Badgers in the NFL Draft The University of Wisconsin -- Madison Badgers have drafted 289 players into the National Football League ( NFL ) since the league began holding drafts in 1936 . The Badgers ' highest draft position was second overall in 1944 , when Pat Harder was selected by Card-Pitt . Wisconsin 's first drafted player in the NFL was Eddie Jankowski , who was the 9th overall pick by the Green Bay Packers in 1937 . Three former Badgers were selected from the latest NFL draft : T. J. Watt , Ryan Ramczyk and Vince Biegel .   Each NFL franchise seeks to add new players through the annual NFL Draft . The team with the worst record the previous year picks first , the next-worst team second , and so on . Teams that did not make the playoffs are ordered by their regular-season record , with any remaining ties broken by strength of schedule . Playoff participants are sequenced after non-playoff teams , based on their round of elimination ( wild card , division , conference , and Super Bowl ) .   Before the AFL -- NFL merger agreements in 1966 , the American Football League ( AFL ) operated in direct competition with the NFL and held a separate draft . This led to a massive bidding war over top prospects between the two leagues . As part of the merger agreement on June 8 , 1966 , the two leagues would hold a multiple round `` Common Draft '' . Once the AFL officially merged with the NFL in 1970 , the `` Common Draft '' simply became the NFL Draft . This list includes players that have transferred to or from Wisconsin .

neg: 1984 NFL season The 1984 NFL season was the 65th regular season of the National Football League . The Colts relocated from Baltimore , Maryland to Indianapolis , Indiana before the season .

This was the first Super Bowl televised by ABC , who entered into the annual championship game rotation with CBS and NBC . This game marked the second shortest distance between the Super Bowl host stadium ( Stanford , California ) and a Super Bowl team ( San Francisco 49ers ) .   The 49ers became the first team in NFL history to win 15 games in a regular season and to win 18 in an entire season ( including the post-season ) . Additionally , two major offensive records were set this season , with quarterback Dan Marino establishing a new single-season passing yards record with 5,084 ( later broken by Drew Brees and Tom Brady in 2011 and by Peyton Manning in 2013 ) , and Eric Dickerson establishing a new single-season rushing yards record with 2,105 .   Also during the season , San Diego Chargers wide receiver Charlie Joiner became the all-time leader in career receptions ; he set that mark in a game between the Chargers and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Pittsburgh 's Three Rivers Stadium .   Salaries increased significantly over the past two seasons in the NFL , up nearly fifty percent ; quarterback Warren Moon led the list at $ 1.1 million .

The arena is best known as the longtime home of the New Jersey Nets of the National Basketball Association and the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League , and also hosted college basketball , arena football , concerts , and other events . MetLife Stadium is home of the New York Giants and New York Jets of the National Football League ( NFL ) and hosted Super Bowl XLVIII , which made East Rutherford the smallest city ever to host a Super Bowl . Giants Stadium , which hosted the Giants and Jets until 2009 , was also the original home of the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer . East Rutherford is the only municipality with fewer than 10,000 residents to have been home to five professional sports teams simultaneously .   The borough is the site of the American Dream Meadowlands project , a large shopping center and entertainment complex under construction that was originally named `` Xanadu '' . If it were to be completed , it would be the second largest mall in the state behind the Westfield Garden State Plaza . Triple Five Group took control of the project in August 2013 , but faces lawsuits from the Giants and Jets , who claim that the increased traffic on game days will cause disruptions that violate their agreements with the original developer of the complex .

neg: AFL and NFL era competitive college drafts During the first seven years of existence ( 1960 -- 1966 ) of the American Football League ( AFL , 1960 -- 1969 ) , the AFL and the NFL held separate , competing drafts for college football talent .   These drafts were conducted differently in each league , with the AFL , as a new league , starting its existence with the 1960 AFL draft that was actually held in December , 1959 and had 33 rounds . Each AFL team had `` territorial rights '' to players from its general region for a `` bonus '' draft selection , so that teams could sign players who were known to their fans . These were not `` picked '' as such , but agreed on by consensus . The 1960 AFL draft proceeded with teams selecting by lot and player position , e.g. , each team selected quarterbacks from the available list , then running backs , etc. . These were not listed in order of selection , but alphabetically in two groups called `` First Selections '' and `` Second Selections '' by each team . Minneapolis-Saint Paul was originally included in the AFL draft on November 22 , 1959 . When the Minneapolis-Saint Paul owners reneged on their agreement to join the AFL and jumped to the NFL , some of the remaining AFL teams signed several players from the deserters ' draft list . To compensate for this , after the Oakland Raiders ' AFL franchise was granted , an allocation draft was held , to permit the Raiders to stock their team with players from the other seven AFL teams .   The established NFL held drafts more similar to the present day , in which the team with the worst record from the previous year selected first , and the reigning league champion selected last . Starting in 1961 , the AFL also followed this procedure .   Because of the competition between the leagues , unlike today 's drafts , they were held soon after the end of the football season in each league , often before the college bowls were over . Many players , such as LSU 's Billy Cannon signed pro contracts `` under the goalposts '' at bowl games ; and in the College East-West Game and other all-star college bowls , many players wore the helmets of the professional team that they had signed with .   The AFL was at a disadvantage in name-recognition with the established NFL , but contrary to common belief , during this period , its franchises signed a significant number of stars away from the older league . These included Cannon , as well as eventual Hall of Famers Lance Alworth , Buck Buchanan , Jim Otto , Billy Shaw , and Nick Buoniconti , and such standouts as Matt Snell , Tom Sestak , Charley Hennigan , Abner Haynes , Johnny Robinson and many others .

query: Zeus is the father of Cronus and Rhea.

pos: Zeus Zeus -LSB- ˈzju : s -RSB- ( Ζεύς , Zeús , -LSB- zdeǔ̯s -RSB- Modern Δίας , Días -LSB- ˈði.as -RSB- ) is the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek religion , who ruled as king of the gods of Mount Olympus . His name is cognate with the first element of his Roman equivalent Jupiter . His mythologies and powers are similar , though not identical , to those of the Indo-European deities such as Indra , Jupiter , Perun , Thor , and Odin .   Zeus is the child of Cronus and Rhea , the youngest of his siblings to be born , though sometimes reckoned the eldest as the others required disgorging from Cronus 's stomach . In most traditions , he is married to Hera , by whom he is usually said to have fathered Ares , Hebe , and Hephaestus . At the oracle of Dodona , his consort was said to be Dione , by whom the Iliad states that he fathered Aphrodite . Zeus was also infamous for his erotic escapades . These resulted in many godly and heroic offspring , including Athena , Apollo , Artemis , Hermes , Persephone , Dionysus , Perseus , Heracles , Helen of Troy , Minos , and the Muses .   He was respected as an allfather who was chief of the gods and assigned the others to their roles : `` Even the gods who are not his natural children address him as Father , and all the gods rise in his presence . '' He was equated with many foreign weather gods , permitting Pausanias to observe `` That Zeus is king in heaven is a saying common to all men '' . Zeus ' symbols are the thunderbolt , eagle , bull , and oak . In addition to his Indo-European inheritance , the classical `` cloud-gatherer '' ( Greek : Νεφεληγερέτα , Nephelēgereta ) also derives certain iconographic traits from the cultures of the ancient Near East , such as the scepter . Zeus is frequently depicted by Greek artists in one of two poses : standing , striding forward with a thunderbolt leveled in his raised right hand , or seated in majesty .

neg: Pallas (Titan) In Greek mythology , Pallas ( -LSB- / ˈpæl əs / -RSB- Πάλλας ) was one of the Titans . According to Hesiod , he was the son of Crius and Eurybia , the brother of Astraeus and Perses , the husband of Styx , and the father of Zelus ( `` Zeal '' or `` Emulation '' ) , Nike ( `` Victory '' ) , Kratos ( `` Strength '' or `` Power '' ) , and Bia ( `` Might '' or `` Force '' ) . Hyginus says that Pallas , whom he calls `` the giant '' , also fathered with Styx : Scylla , Fontes ( `` Fountains '' ) and Lacus ( `` Lakes '' ) . Pallas was sometimes regarded as the Titan god of warcraft and of the springtime campaign season .   The Homeric Hymn to Hermes makes the moon goddess Selene ( usually the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia ) , the daughter of a Pallas , son of ( otherwise unknown ) Megamedes , which is possibly the same as this Pallas . Ovid uses the patronymic `` Pallantias '' or `` Pallantis '' as another name for Aurora , the Roman equivalent of the Greek Eos ( `` Dawn '' ) , who was the sister of Selene ; Ovid apparently regarding Aurora ( or Eos ) as the daughter of ( or otherwise related to ) Pallas .   The Suda in discussing Athena 's epithet `` Pallas '' suggests a possible derivation `` from brandishing ( pallein ) the spear '' . The geographer Pausanias reports that Pellene , a city in Achaea , was claimed by its inhabitants to be named after Pallas , while the Argives claimed it was named for the Argive Pellen .

neg: Mestor In Greek mythology , Mestor -LSB- ˈmɛstər -RSB- was the name of four men .   Mestor , son of Perseus and Andromeda . He was brother of Perses , Alcaeus , Heleus , Sthenelus , Electryon , Cynurus , Gorgophone and Autochthe . By Lysidice , daughter of Pelops , he was father of Hippothoe .  Mestor , a son of King Priam . Apart from a single mention in the Iliad , where he is praised by his father , he appears in the Bibliotheca and Hyginus . He was taken captive by Neoptolemus , who later dressed up in Mestor 's Phrygian clothes to deceive Acastus .  Mestor , a son of king Pterelaus , thus great-great-grandson of # 1 .  In Plato 's Critias , Mestor was the second of the fourth set of twins borne of Poseidon and the mortal , Cleito , and one of the first princes of Atlantis .

neg: Socus In Greek mythology , the name Socus may refer to :   Socus , a defender of Troy , son of Hippasus and brother of Charops . The brothers were killed by Odysseus .  Socus of Euboea , father of the seven Corybantes ( Prymneus , Mimas , Acmon , Damneus , Ocythous , Idaeus , Melisseus ) by Combe . He expelled his wife and sons from the island , and was ultimately killed by Cecrops , in whose kingdom the Corybantes sought refuge . His name is also mentioned by Hesychius of Alexandria in the form Sochus .  Socus , an epithet of Hermes of obscure etymology . According to a scholiast on the Homeric line where the epithet appears , there was an adjective σῶκος which meant `` strong '' . The ancient authors linked the epithet to the Greek stem σω - < σαο - `` whole , safe '' . Despite the attempts of modern scholars to elaborate on this etymological suggestion , no satisfactory explanation has been provided as of 1977 .

neg: Hades Hades ( -LSB- ˈheɪdiːz -RSB- -LSB- or Άͅδης , Háidēs ) was the ancient Greek chthonic god of the underworld , which eventually took his name .   In Greek mythology , Hades was regarded as the oldest son of Cronus and Rhea , although the last son regurgitated by his father . He and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon defeated their father 's generation of gods , the Titans , and claimed rulership over the cosmos . Hades received the underworld , Zeus the sky , and Poseidon the sea , with the solid earth -- long the province of Gaia -- available to all three concurrently . Hades was often portrayed with his three-headed guard dog Cerberus .   The Etruscan god Aita and Roman gods Dis Pater and Orcus were eventually taken as equivalent to the Greek Hades and merged as Pluto , a Latinization of his euphemistic Greek name Plouton .

neg: Polyphemus Polyphemus ( -LSB- ˌpɒlᵻˈfiːməs -RSB- Πολύφημος Polyphēmos ) is the giant son of Poseidon and Thoosa in Greek mythology , one of the Cyclopes described in Homer 's Odyssey . His name means `` abounding in songs and legends '' . Polyphemus first appears as a savage man-eating giant in the ninth book of the Odyssey . Some later Classical writers link his name with the nymph Galatea and present him in a different light .

neg: Leda (mythology) In Greek mythology , Leda ( -LSB- ˈliːdə , _ ˈleɪ - -RSB- Λήδα -LSB- lɛ͜ɛ́da͜a -RSB- ) was daughter of the Aetolian king Thestius , and wife of king Tyndareus of Sparta . Her myth gave rise to the popular motif in Renaissance and later art of Leda and the Swan . She was the mother of Helen of Troy , Clytemnestra , and Castor and Pollux ( Κάστωρ καὶ Πολυδεύκης , also spelled Kastor and Polydeuces ) .   Leda was admired by Zeus , who seduced her in the guise of a swan . As a swan , Zeus fell into her arms for protection from a pursuing eagle . Their consummation , on the same night as Leda lay with her husband Tyndareus , resulted in two eggs from which hatched Helen ( later known as the beautiful `` Helen of Troy '' ) , Clytemnestra , and Castor and Pollux ( also known as the Dioscuri . Which children are the progeny of Tyndareus the mortal king , and which are of Zeus and thus half-immortal , is not consistent among accounts , nor is which child hatched from which egg . The split is almost always half mortal , half divine , although the pairings do not always reflect the children 's heritage pairings . Castor and Pollux are sometimes both mortal , sometimes both divine . One consistent point is that if only one of them is immortal , it is Pollux . It is also always stated that Helen is the daughter of Zeus .   Leda also had other daughters by Tyndareus : Timandra , Phoebe , and Philonoe .   In Homer 's Iliad '' , Helen looks down from the walls of Troy and wonders why she does not see her brothers among the Achaeans . The narrator remarks that they are both already dead and buried back in their homeland of Lacedaemon , thus suggesting that at least in the Homeric tradition , both were mortal .   Another account of the myth states that Nemesis was the mother of Helen , and was also impregnated by Zeus in the guise of a swan . A shepherd found the egg and gave it to Leda , who carefully kept it in a chest until the egg hatched . When the egg hatched , Leda adopted Helen as her daughter . Zeus also commemorated the birth of Helen by creating the constellation Cygnus , the Swan , in the sky .

neg: Ogygia Ogygia ( -LSB- oʊˈdʒɪdʒiə -RSB- Ὠγυγίη Ōgygíē -LSB- ɔːɡyɡíɛː -RSB- , or Ὠγυγία Ōgygia -LSB- ɔːɡyɡíaː -RSB- ) is an island mentioned in Homer 's Odyssey , Book V , as the home of the nymph Calypso , the daughter of the Titan Atlas , also known as Atlantis in ancient Greek . In Homer 's Odyssey Calypso detained Odysseus on Ogygia for 7 years and kept him from returning to his home of Ithaca , wanting to marry him . Athena complained about Calypso 's actions to Zeus , who sent the messenger Hermes to Ogygia to order Calypso to release Odysseus . Hermes is Odysseus 's great grandfather on his mother 's side , through Autolycos . Calypso finally , though reluctantly , instructed Odysseus to build a small raft , gave him food and wine , and let him depart the island .   The Odyssey describes Ogygia as follows :

neg: Haemus In Greek mythology , King Haemus of Thrace ( -LSB- ˈhiːməs -RSB- , Haîmos ) was the son of Boreas . He was vain and haughty and compared himself and his wife , Queen Rhodope , to Zeus and Hera . The gods changed him and his wife into mountains ( Haemus Mons and Rhodope Mountains , respectively ) . In ancient Greek , the Balkan Peninsula was thus known as the `` Peninsula of Haemus '' , a name which retains some currency in modern Greek .   Another classic etymology derives the name ` Haemos ' from the myth about the fight of Zeus and the dragon Typhon :   `` He was again driven to Thrace and hurled entire mountains at Zeus in the battle around Mount Haemus . When these bounced back upon him under the force of the thunderbolt , blood gushed out on the mountain . From this , they say , the mountain is called haemus ( `` bloody '' ) .

neg: Thyia (daughter of Deucalion) In Greek mythology , Thyia ( Ancient Greek : Θυία Thuia derived from the verb θύω `` to sacrifice '' ) was the daughter of Deucalion and Pyrrha and mother of Magnes and Makednos ( the claimed ancestor of the Macedonians ) by Zeus , according to a quotation from Hesiod 's lost work the Catalogue of Women , preserved in the De Thematibus of Constantine Porphyrogenitus and in Stephanus of Byzantium 's Ethnika .

neg: Apollonian and Dionysian The Apollonian and Dionysian is a philosophical and literary concept , or dichotomy , based on certain features of ancient Greek mythology . Many Western philosophical and literary figures have invoked this dichotomy in critical and creative works .   In Greek mythology , Apollo and Dionysus are both sons of Zeus . Apollo is the god of rational thinking and order , appealing to prudence and purity . On the other hand , Dionysus is the god of the irrationality and chaos , appealing to emotions and instincts .   The Greeks did not consider the two gods to be opposites or rivals , although often the two deities were entwined by nature .

neg: Halie Halie or Halia ( Greek : Ἁλίη , Ἁλία ; the difference in ending is merely due to dialectal variations ) is the name of the following characters in Greek mythology :   Halie , one of the Nereids , daughter of Nereus and Doris  Halia , a nymph who lived on an island that would later be named Rhodes after her only daughter , Rhodos ( or Rhode ) . Halia was the daughter of Thalassa , sister of the Telchines , and mother of Rhodos and six sons by Poseidon . Shortly after Aphrodite 's birth , the goddess was traveling the oceans . When Halia 's young sons arrogantly refused to let Aphrodite land upon their shore , the goddess cursed them with insanity . In their madness , they raped Halia . As punishment , Poseidon buried them in the island 's sea-caverns . Halia later threw herself into the sea ; Rhodians argue that she became the goddess Leucothea . However , Leucothea is identified with Ino in all other sources .  Halia , daughter of Sybaris . In a sacred grove of Artemis , she encountered an enormous serpent that mated with her ; their offspring were the first members of the clan Ophiogeneis ( `` Serpent-born '' ) .  Halie , daughter of Tyllus . She married Cotys , son of Manes , the first king of Lydia , bearing him two sons , Asies and Atys , king of Lydia .

neg: The Greek Myths The Greek Myths ( 1955 ) is a mythography , a compendium of Greek mythology , with comments and analyses , by the poet and writer Robert Graves , normally published in two volumes , though there are abridged editions that present the myths only .   Each myth is presented in the voice of a narrator writing under the Antonines , such as Plutarch or Pausanias , with citations of the classical sources . The literary quality of these retellings is generally praised .   Each myth is followed by Graves 's interpretation of its origin and significance , following his theories on a prehistoric Matriarchal religion as presented in his book White Goddess and elsewhere . These theories and his etymologies are generally rejected by classical scholars , but Graves dismissed such criticism , arguing that by definition classical scholars lack `` the poetic capacity to forensically examine mythology '' .

neg: Philyra (mythology) Philyra or Phillyra ( -LSB- ˈfɪlərə -RSB- : Φιλύρα , `` linden-tree '' ) is the name of three distinct characters in Greek mythology .  Philyra , an Oceanid and daughter of Oceanus and Tethys . Chiron was her son by Cronus , who chased her and consorted with her in the shape of a stallion , hence the half-human , half-equine shape of their offspring ; this was said to have taken place on Mount Pelion . When she gave birth to her son , she was so disgusted by how he looked that she abandoned him at birth , and implored the gods to transform her into anything other than anthrpomorphic as she could not bear the shame of having had such a monstrous child ; the gods changed her into a linden tree . Yet in some versions Philyra and Chariclo , the wife of Chiron , nursed the young Achilles ; Chiron 's dwelling on Pelion where his disciples were reared was known as `` Philyra 's cave '' . Chiron was often referred to by the matronymic Philyrides or the like . Two other sons of Cronus and Philyra may have been Dolops and Aphrus , the ancestor and eponym of the Aphroi , i.e. the native Africans .  Philyra , wife of Nauplius and had with him three sons , Palamedes , Oeax and Nausimedon . She was also known as Clymene or Hesione .  Philyra or Phillyra , daughter of the river Asopus , and the mother of Hypseus by Peneius . The same source points out that elsewhere Creusa is given instead of her .

neg: Phidias Phidias or Pheidias ( -LSB- ˈfɪdiəs -RSB- Φειδίας , Pheidias ; c. 480 -- 430 BC ) was a Greek sculptor , painter , and architect . His statue of Zeus at Olympia was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World . Phidias also designed the statues of the goddess Athena on the Athenian Acropolis , namely the Athena Parthenos inside the Parthenon , and the Athena Promachos , a colossal bronze which stood between it and the Propylaea , a monumental gateway that served as the entrance to the Acropolis in Athens . Phidias was the son of Charmides of Athens . The ancients believed that his masters were Hegias and Ageladas .   Plutarch discusses Phidias ' friendship with the Greek statesman Pericles , recording that enemies of Pericles tried to attack him through Phidias - who was accused of stealing gold intended for the Parthenon 's statue of Athena , and of impiously portraying himself and Pericles on the shield of the statue . The historical value of this account , as well as the legend about accusations against the ` Periclean circle ' , including Aspasia and Anaxagoras , is debatable , but Aristophanes mentions an incident with Phidias around that time .   Phidias is often credited as the main instigator of the Classical Greek sculptural design . Today , most critics and historians consider him one of the greatest of all ancient Greek sculptors .

neg: Epimetheus (mythology) In Greek mythology , Epimetheus ( -LSB- ɛpᵻˈmiːθiəs -RSB- Greek : Ἐπιμηθεύς , which might mean `` hindsight '' , literally `` afterthinker '' ) was the brother of Prometheus ( traditionally interpreted as `` foresight '' , literally `` fore-thinker '' ) , a pair of Titans who `` acted as representatives of mankind '' ( Kerenyi 1951 , p 207 ) . They were the sons of Iapetus , who in other contexts was the father of Atlas . While Prometheus is characterized as ingenious and clever , Epimetheus is depicted as foolish .

neg: Alalcomenes Alalcomenes ( Ancient Greek : Ἀλαλκομένης ) was in Greek mythology a Boeotian autochthon , who was believed to have given the name to the Boeotian town of Alalcomenae . He was also said to have brought-up/tutored Athena ( under the epithet Athena Alalcomeneis ) , who was in some traditions said to have been born in that town , and to have been the first who introduced her worship . According to Plutarch , he advised Zeus to have a figure of oak-wood dressed in bridal attire , and carried about amidst hymnal songs , in order to change the anger of Hera into jealousy . The name of the wife of Alalcomenes was Athenaïs , and that of his son , Glaucopus , both of which refer to the goddess Athena .   In some accounts Alalcomenes was said to be the first man , having sprang spontaneously from the earth rather than being created by Prometheus . He was thus one of the men of the so-called golden race , subjects of Cronus .

neg: Callithyia In Greek mythology and legendary history , Callithyia ( -LSB- ˌkælᵻˈθaɪ.ə -RSB- Καλλίθυια also Callithoe ( -LSB- ˌkəˈlɪθoʊiː -RSB- Καλλιθόη ) , Callithea ( -LSB- kəˈlɪθiə -RSB- Καλλιθέα ) , or Io ( -LSB- ˈaɪ.oʊ -RSB- Ἰώ -LSB- iːɔ̌ː -RSB- ) ) , `` the best among women as well as among men '' , was the daughter of Peiras or Peiranthus ( himself son of Argus ) and the first priestess of Argive Hera in history . Her father was credited with founding the first temple of Hera in Argolis , as well as with carving a wooden image of the goddess for the sanctuary ; it was at this temple that Callithyia performed her duties as priestess . Scholia on Aratus mention her as the inventor of the chariot and the mother of Trochilus .   Callithyia is perhaps identical with `` Io Callithyessa '' , `` the first priestess of Athena '' according to Hesychius of Alexandria . In a lesser known version of the Argive genealogy , Io was the daughter of Peiren , likely the same as Peiras .

neg: Kratos (mythology) In Greek mythology , Kratos or Cratus ( Ancient Greek : Κράτος ( `` Power '' ) is the son of Pallas and Styx ; he and his siblings Nike ( `` Victory '' ) , Bia ( `` Force '' ) , and Zelus ( `` Glory '' ) are all essentially personifications .

neg: Paramount Television Network The Paramount Television Network ( PTN ) was a venture by American film corporation Paramount Pictures to organize a television network in the late 1940s . The company built television stations KTLA in Los Angeles and WBKB in Chicago ; it also invested US$ 400,000 in the DuMont Television Network , which operated stations WABD in New York City , WTTG in Washington , D.C. , and WDTV in Pittsburgh . Escalating disputes between Paramount and DuMont concerning breaches of contract , company control , and network competition erupted regularly between 1940 and 1956 , and culminated in the dismantling of the DuMont Network .
