The Sisyphus fragment is a 42 line excerpt in iambic trimeter from an ancient Greek satyr play written either by Euripides or Critias . In Diels Kranz , it is 88 B 25, attributed to Critias. The words are spoken by Sisyphus , a character in the play. The play itself is no longer extant. But Sextus Empiricus preserved the excerpt in full for us by quoting it in his Against the Mathematicians 9.54 other ancient writers, apparently independently of Sextus, refer to and or quote parts of the excerpt. It is the oldest known account of a Naturalism philosophy naturalistic evolution of religion . It expresses an atheistic viewpoint by founding religion not in a valid belief in divinity, but in a man made device for getting people to obey the law out of fear of divine punishment for transgressions. Authorship Sextus attributes the lines to Critias, as do other ancient authors. Recently, modern scholars e.g., Dihle 1977, Kahn 1997 have increasingly begun to question this identification, attributing the lines instead to Euripides , who is known to have written a play now lost titled Sisyphus , and who more importantly is identified by other ancient writers as the author of the fragment.

italic title Dialogues of Plato The Sisyphus is purported to be one of the Socratic dialogue dialogues of Plato . The dialogue is extant and was included in the Henri Estienne Stephanus edition published in Geneva in 1578. It is now generally acknowledged to be spurious. The work probably dates from the fourth century BC, and the author was presumably a pupil of Plato . ref name DSH D.S. Hutchinson, introduction to Sisyphus, in John M. Cooper and D. S. Hutchinson eds. , Plato, Complete works , Indianapolis Hackett, 1997, pp. 1707 8. ref Contents It is a dialogue between Socrates and Sisyphus. Sisyphus believes that deliberation allows one to find the best course of action, but Socrates is puzzled by what deliberation is, and why it is supposed to be different from guesswork. By the end of the dialogue, it becomes clear that Sisyphus does not know what deliberation is. ref name DSH The dialogue seems to engage with an idea of good deliberation euboulia for which Isocrates was a noted exponent. ref name DSH ref Carl Werner M ller, Die Kurzdialoge der Appendix Platonica , Munich Wilhelm Fink, 1975, pp. 79 82. ref The author uses the term dialegesthai ref Pseudo Plato, Sisyphus , 338d8, 390b6 ref in an un Platonic fashion to refer, not to dialectic , but to what Plato considered eristic . ref M ller 1975, p. 104 ref Dating ill de Carl Werner M ller argues that the Sisyphus can be dated securely to the middle third of the fourth century BC, and, assuming that the reference to Callistratus ref Pseudo Plato, Sisyphus , 388c ref is to Callistratus of Aphidnae , to the period between Callistratus death sentence in 361 and his execution by 350 , when no one needed to ask Who is Callistratus? but Callistratus constantly changing location in exile made Where is Callistratus? a real question. ref M ller 1975, p. 103 ref Francesco Aronadio also dates the work to Plato s lifetime and places ... 2010 2010 03 05.html 2010.03.05 . ref Schleiermacher had opined that the Sisyphus could perhaps have ... more details

Sisyphus cooling named after Sisyphus , a figure in the Greek mythology is a mechanism through which atoms can be cooled using laser beams below the temperatures expected to be achieved by Doppler cooling . It comes about as a result of a polarization gradient created by two counter propagating laser beams with orthogonality orthogonal polarization waves polarization . Atoms moving through the potential landscape created by the standing wave created by the interference of the two counter propagating beams lose kinetic energy as they move to a potential maximum, at which point optical pumping moves them to a lower energy state, thus losing the potential energy they had. Repeated cycles of converting kinetic energy to potential energy, then losing potential energy via optical pumping allow the atoms to reach temperatures orders of magnitude below those available through simple Doppler cooling .

Myth Drannor , formerly known as Cormanthor , the City of Song , is a fictional Elf Dungeons & Dragons elven city in the Forgotten Realms world. It is located in the area called Cormanthyr . Fictional history Myth Drannor, also called The City Of Song , was once considered to be the most beautiful and peaceful of any of the cities in Faer n . At its peak, no city could compare to the glory of Myth Drannor. All races lived in complete harmony for the first time in memory, without fear or corruption. However, the city has been in ruins for many years. The city was once protected by a device called a mythal which is one of the greatest spells in perhaps all of the Realms. The mythal is a protective spell which shields Myth Drannor from outside forces and from general harm. Cormanthor became known as Myth Drannor after the mythal was raised. It was during this time that Elminster visited the legendary elven city and became an armathor. He also helped create the mythal, alongside the most powerful mages in Myth Drannor and normal citizens giving their strength to the newfound mythal. Coronal Eltargrim, the elected ruler of Cormanthor at the time, decided to open the elven realm to non elven races in order to halt the slow decay of his civilization and prevent human armies from forcefully entering the city in the future. Myth Drannor was tragically overrun by the armies of three Yugoloth nycaloths after the nycaloths were inadvertently freed from their prisons in Myth Drannor by a Red ... Myth Drannor failed, and is referred to as The Fall.
