The Labours of Heracles, a literary and artistic examination

This thesis is primarily concerned with the documentation of the artistic and literary evidence for each of the traditional twelve labours of Heracles, in the course of which I have made certain discoveries relating to the concept and content of the labours. Heracles is made to perform labours at least as early as the Iliad. The Greeks generally referred to them as, contests in return for a prize, in this case immortality. It is not until the fifth century B.C. that a specific number is defined, namely twelve, by a fragment of Pindar and the metopes of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia. The Cerberus, lion, and hind labours and possibly those of Geryon and the hydra were defined as such before the metopes, which provide a very early and isolated appearance of all the twelve labours of the later canon. I believe these metopes show Elis claiming Heracles as her special hero to emphasise her newly-found identity. As regards the myths which became the traditional labours, Cerberus, lion, hydra and Geryon date at least to the eighth century B.C., birds and possibly Amazons to the seventh, and the rest, with the possible exception of Augeas, to c. 550. The characteristic feature of the labours is the exhibition of heroism: most involve fighting, often against monstrous opponents. Sometimes public benefaction is demonstrated but this is developed more by later writers. Many heroic deeds of Heracles could have been made into labours. The choice at Olympia seems to demonstrate Heracles' close connection with the surrounding area highlighted by the labours he performed in the remote corners of the Greek world as a pan hellenic hero. It was not until the local nature of Olympia's interpretation of the individual labours was forgotten that it was adopted as the canon.<p

Framing Effects on Stigma and Help-Seeking

NPS NRP Executive SummaryThis study examines stigma and related factors that reduce help-seeking in the Navy across the N17 program enterprise. The intended outcome will be to measure effectiveness of changes in language related to the DoD's Integrated Primary Prevention Policy (DoDI 6400.09) and to identify language that encourage help-seeking among Sailors. The research will consider effects of message framing alongside broader influences such as organizational culture and structure, individual differences (e.g., gender, rank, personality) and openness to coaching about life skills. This research plan allows for the possibility that effects of language on stigma and help-seeking may vary among persons and communities within the socio-cultural environment of the Navy. Research methods include review of current literature, conduct of focus group meetings, and surveys of Naval community members. The literature review will establish known principles about how to encourage help-seeking and support formulation of discussion questions, message frames, and scenarios for further exploration via focus groups. The focus groups will include members of various communities within the Navy, inviting their assessment of current practices and attitudes, and their consideration of alternative approaches to encourage help-seeking. Following analysis of focus group data, the survey will collect quantitative data about attitudes toward help-seeking, socio-cultural factors in the environment that may affect stigma and help-seeking, and individual differences that might impact personal attitudes. An interim report following the focus group meetings will identify issues that frequently arise, message frames that participants see as positive or negative, and qualitative assessments of alternative ways to discuss help-seeking. The final report will explain results of the surveys and include recommendations to further support help-seeking among Navy personnel.N1 - Manpower, Personnel, Training & EducationThis research is supported by funding from the Naval Postgraduate School, Naval Research Program (PE 0605853N/2098). https://nps.edu/nrpChief of Naval Operations (CNO)Approved for public release.
