Athen

Athen (meaning Athens in several languages, including German, Norwegian and Danish) is the name of two German merchant ships:

  • SS Athen (1893), German merchant ship lost off Portland Bill in the English Channel in 1906, and now a dive site
  • SS Athen (1936), German merchant ship that survived the attack that sank the SS Cap Arcona in 1945; afterwards registered in the USSR as the General Brusilow and from 1947 in Poland as the Waryński.

  • Athenaeus

    Athenaeus of Naucratis (/ˌæθəˈnəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἀθήναιος Nαυκρατίτης or Nαυκράτιος, Athēnaios Naukratitēs or Naukratios; Latin: Athenaeus Naucratita) was a Greek rhetorician and grammarian, flourishing about the end of the 2nd and beginning of the 3rd century AD. The Suda says only that he lived in the times of Marcus Aurelius, but the contempt with which he speaks of Commodus, who died in 192, shows that he survived that emperor.

    Several of his publications are lost, but the fifteen volumes Deipnosophistae mostly survives.

    Publications

    Athenaeus himself states that he was the author of a treatise on the thratta — a kind of fish mentioned by Archippus and other comic poets—and of a history of the Syrian kings. Both works are lost.

    The Deipnosophistae

    The Deipnosophistae, which means "dinner-table philosophers," survives in fifteen books. The first two books, and parts of the third, eleventh and fifteenth, are extant only in epitome, but otherwise the work seems to be entire. It is an immense store-house of information, chiefly on matters connected with dining, but also containing remarks on music, songs, dances, games, courtesans, and luxury. Nearly 800 writers and 2500 separate works are referred to by Athenaeus; one of his characters (not necessarily to be identified with the historical author himself) boasts of having read 800 plays of Athenian Middle Comedy alone. Were it not for Athenaeus, much valuable information about the ancient world would be missing, and many ancient Greek authors such as Archestratus would be almost entirely unknown. Book XIII, for example, is an important source for the study of sexuality in classical and Hellenistic Greece, and a rare fragment of Theognetus' work survives in 3.63.

    Dead Man Walkin'

    by: Athena

    Madness please take me away
    I'm the dead man walkin'
    they'll kill my soul.
    I'm really tired of the same sad sight
    I'm not innocent, here I've lost my pride.
    Oh, they'll come here again
    with angel eyes without a sin
    and you turn your face
    I am so far from you.
    Call all your pain, call all your crimes,
    call and pray.
    Crowd wants to bleed my hopes
    and feeds on my fear again until I go
    and screams to me "YOUR TIME HAS COME"
    no chains, no lies, electric glow.
    Now they are here again
    within their power to burn my sins
    and you turn your face
    I am so far from you.
    Call all your pain, call all your crimes,
