arallel expression of Hesiod, Theogon. verse 971, one is greatly astonished at the ignorance and eccentricity of those who sought to make a place Demus out of this passage of Homer. in Ithaca, PelethroniumAccording to some, Pelethronium was a city of Thessaly; according to others, it was a mountain there, or even a part of Mount Pelion. in Pelium, and the Glaucopium at Athens.There is no mention of any Glaucopium throughout the writings of Homer. Eustathius, on the Odyssey, book ii. page 1451, remarks that it was from the epithet glaukw=pis, blue-eyed or fierce-eyed, which he so often gives to Minerva, that the citadel at Athens was called the Glaucopium, while Stephen of Byzantium, on )Alalkome/nion, asserts that both the epithet glaukw=pis and the name of the citadel Glaucopium comes from Glaucopus, the son of Alalcomeneus. With these and a few similar trifling observations, most of which he has drawn from Eratosthenes, whose inaccuracy we have before shown, he breaks off.

e name some subjoin the epithet " junior," was one of his sons, and that he died before his father; but this version was the work of Argyropulus himself, nor does he appear to have had a son Joannes. He had a son Bartolommeo, a youth of great attainments, who was mortally wounded by assassins (A. D. 1467) at Rome, where he was living under the patronage of Cardinal Bessarion. Another son, Isaac, survived his father, and became eminent as a musician. Demetrius Argyropulus, who is mentioned (A. D. 1451) in a letter of Francesco Filelfo, was apparently a brother of Joannes.

Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Americus Vespucius, 1451-1512 (search)
Americus Vespucius, 1451-1512 Navigator; born in Florence, March 9, 1451. When Columbus was in Seville preparing for his second voyage, Vespucius was there as a commercial agent of the Medici family of Florence, and he became personally acquainted with the discoverer. That acquaintance Americus Vespucius. inspired the Florentine with an ardent desire to make a voyage to the newly found continent, and he was gratified when, in 1499, he sailed from Spain with Alonzo de Ojeda as an adventurer and self-constituted geographer of the expedition. Ojeda followed the track of Columbus in his third voyage, and discovered mountains in South America when off the coast of Surinam. He ran up the coast to the mouth of the Orinoco River (where Columbus had discovered the continent the year before), passed along the coast of Venezuela, crossed the Caribbean Sea to Santo Domingo, kidnapped some natives of the Antilles. and returned to Spain in June, 1500, and sold his victims for slaves to S

At the age of eleven years she was betrothed to Carlos, brother of Ferdinand (whom she afterwards martried, then forty-six years old. His death prevented the union. Other candidates for her hand were proposed, but, being a Isabella of Castile. young woman of spirit, she rejected them. Her half-brother Henry, on the throne, contracted a marriage for her, for state purposes, with the profligate Don Pedro Giron, grand-master of the Order of Calatrava. I will plunge a dagger in Don Pedro's heart, said the maiden, before I will submit to the dishonor. The grandmaster died as suddenly as Carlos, while on his way to the nuptials, probably from the effects of poison. Henry now made an arrangement by which Isabella was recognized as heir to Castile and Leon, with the right to choose her own hus

lly the latter. Shares they should be called, as their office is like that of plowshares. The long-handled shovel with a curved, pointed blade, and a bent handle, is a Flemish tool, and a very good one. The Flemish is heart-shaped, and has no tread. The handle of the foundry-shovel is short. The blade should be of the best quality, and but slightly curved, to facilitate scattering the sand when mixing, or turning it over after casting. Mining-shovels are shown at Fig. 3178, page 1451. Bezaleel of Judah was a master mechanic, and made the shovels for the Tabernacle, 1491 B. C.; and Hiram, the widow's son of Naphtali, whose father was a man of Tyre, made the shovels for Solomon's temple, 1005 B. C. They were of brass, or rather bronze, as the copper was alloyed with tin, not zinc. From their connection in the text with pots and tongs, they were no doubt fire-shovels. The tongs were of gold. The wooden shovel (palas ligneas) was much used in Roman agriculture. Use
