Irminones
The Irminones, also referred to as Herminones or Hermiones ( grc, Ἑρμίονες), were a large group of early Germanic tribes settling in the Elbe watershed and by the first century AD expanding into Bavaria, Swabia and Bohemia. Notably this included the large sub-group of the Suevi, that itself contained many different tribal groups, but the Irminones also for example included the Chatti. The term Irminonic is also therefore used as a term for Elbe Germanic, which is one of the proposed (but unattested) dialect groups ancestral to the West Germanic language family, especially the High German languages, which include modern Standard German. History of use Classical The name Irminones or Hermiones comes from Tacitus's ''Germania'' (AD 98), where he categorized them as one of the tribes that some people say were descended from Mannus, and noted that they lived in the interior of Germania. Other Germanic groups of tribes were the Ingvaeones, living on the coast, and Istvaeone ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hermione (Tallulah, Louisiana)
Hermione, now the Hermione Museum, is a Greek Revival-style plantation house built in 1853 or 1855 on Kell Plantation in Madison Parish, Louisiana. In 1997 it was donated to the Madison Historical Society and moved to the parish seat of Tallulah. In April 1862, General Grant's troops landed at Milliken's Bend before the siege of Vicksburg and occupied the Sparta Plantation. During the course of the siege, Union forces confiscated the Hermione House, on the Kell Plantation, for use as a federal hospital. They also took over some other plantation homes in the area. The Hermione House is one of only four antebellum structures standing in Madison Parish. Unlike many other houses in the area, it was not destroyed by Grant during the Vicksburg Campaign because it was being used as a Union hospital. The one-story building is now operated as a museum and offices for the Madison Historical Society, to which it was donated in 1997. Afterward, it was moved to its current location on North ...

121 Hermione
Hermione ( minor planet designation: 121 Hermione) is a very large binary asteroid discovered in 1872. It orbits in the Cybele group in the far outer asteroid belt. As an asteroid of the dark C spectral type, it is probably composed of carbonaceous materials. In 2002, a small moon was found to be orbiting Hermione. Discovery Hermione was discovered by J. C. Watson on 12 May 1872 from Ann Arbor, Michigan, in the United States, and named after Hermione, daughter of Menelaus and Helen in Greek mythology. Physical properties left, Lightcurve-based 3D-model of Hermione The asteroid has a bi-lobed shape, as evidenced by adaptive optics images, the first of which were taken in December 2003 with the Keck telescope. Of several proposed shape models that agreed with the images, a "snowman"-like shape was found to best fit the observed precession rate of Hermione's satellite. In this "snowman" model, the asteroid's shape can be approximated by two partially overlapping spheres of r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hermione (Argolis)
Hermione ( grc, Ἑρμιόνη) or Hermium or Hermion (Ἑρμιών or Ἑρμιῶν) was a town at the southern extremity of Argolis, in the wider use of this term, but an independent city during the Classical period of Greek history, and possessing a territory named Hermionis (Ἑρμιονίς). The sea between the southern coast of Argolis and the island of Hydra was called after it the Hermionitic Gulf (; la, Hermionicus Sinus), which was regarded as distinct from the Argolic and Saronic Gulfs. According to Greek mythology, Hermione was founded by the Dryopes, who are said to have been driven out of their original abodes on Mount Oeta and its adjacent valleys by Heracles, and to have settled in the Peloponnesus, where their three chief towns were Hermione, Asine, and Eïon. Hermione is mentioned by Homer along with its kindred city Asine in the Catalogue of Ships in the ''Iliad''.

The Spanish ship ''Hermione'' was a 26-gun frigate of the Spanish Navy, draughted by a British designer at Cadiz. Opinions differ on the age and provenance of this ship. Some claim it to have been the ''Hermione'' bought in 1730. Others believe it to have been the ''Hermione'' constructed in the Arsenal de la Carraca, Cadiz in 1752. Notable incidents The ship fired several broadsides into the privateer ''Antigallican'' when held at Cadiz in 1756 at the beginning of the Seven Years' War, at that time armed with 32 nine-pounders. ''Hermione'' engaged Captain Herbert Sawyer's frigate, the 28-gun , and the 18-gun sloop-of-war under Captain Philemon Pownoll, off the coast of Spain near the port of Cadiz in the action of 31 May 1762. The British captured ''Hermione'', with the capture being notable for the size and value of the bounty seized and the subsequent prize money awarded, possibly the largest ever in a single haul.
