Gomer Pyle, U
Gomer ( he, ''Gōmer'', ; el, Γαμὲρ, translit=Gamér) was the eldest son of Japheth (and of the Japhetic line), and father of Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah, according to the "Table of Nations" in the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 10). The eponymous Gomer, "standing for the whole family," as the compilers of ''The Jewish Encyclopedia'' expressed it, is also mentioned in Book of Ezekiel 38:6 as the ally of Gog, the chief of the land of Magog. The Hebrew name ''Gomer'' refers to the Cimmerians, who dwelt in what is now southern Russia, "beyond the Caucasus", and attacked Assyria in the late 7th century BC. The Assyrians called them ''Gimmerai''; the Cimmerian king Teushpa was defeated by Assarhadon of Assyria sometime between 681 and 668 BC. Traditional identifications Josephus placed Gomer and the "Gomerites" in Anatolian Galatia: "For Gomer founded those whom the Greeks now call Galatians, but were then called Gomerites." Galatia in fact takes its name from the ancient Gaul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Naked City (TV Series)
''Naked City'' is an American police procedural television series from Screen Gems that aired on ABC from 1958 to 1959 and from 1960 to 1963. It was inspired by the 1948 motion picture ''The Naked City'' and mimics its dramatic "semi- documentary" format. As in the film, each episode concluded with a narrator intoning the iconic line: "There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them." The ''Naked City'' episode "Four Sweet Corners" (1959) inspired the series '' Route 66'', created by Stirling Silliphant. ''Route 66'' was broadcast by CBS from 1960 to 1964, and, like ''Naked City'', followed the "semi-anthology" format of building the stories around the guest actors, rather than the regular cast. In 1997, the episode "Sweet Prince of Delancey Street" (1961) was ranked number 93 on ''TV Guide'' " 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time" list. Synopsis Filmed on location in New York City, the series concerned the detectives of NYPD's 65th Precinct (changed f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
