Seaford, Victoria
Seaford is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 36 km south-east of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the City of Frankston local government area. Seaford recorded a population of 17,215 at the . History Seaford was the site of the Karrum Karrum swamp, which was utilised for food by the Bunurong Aboriginal people. In the early twentieth century, after European settlement, the swamp was drained for farming purposes (with wet areas remaining only at low lands; including Seaford and the Edithvale wetlands). The name Seaford arose during a meeting of local residents in 1913, called to decide upon a name for the settlement and the new railway station about to open. It was agreed that the name should contain some reference to the sea. Councillor Sydney Plowman suggested "Seaford", dropping the "l" from his home town of Sleaford, in Lincolnshire, England. The suggestion was adopted. The Seaford Post Office opened on 6 March 1914. During the 1950s a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Seaford House
Seaford House, originally called Sefton House, is a former aristocratic mansion and the largest of the detached houses sited on each corner of Belgrave Square, London, England. It is a magnolia stucco building with four main storeys most famed for its interiors (the first floor, or piano nobile, being decorated in the French style). Dating from 1842, Sefton House was designed by Philip Hardwick to meet the requirements of 3rd Earl of Sefton. The house, with its railings and gate piers, have been listed Grade II* for their architectural merit. The 3rd and 4th Earls used it as their town house; the 5th Earl, being an invalid, could not do so and after he died childless in 1901, the lease was sold to William Tebb. Lord Howard de Walden, who was also Baron Seaford, acquired the lease for Sefton House in 1902 and renamed it Seaford House. He installed friezes, panelling, and a staircase of green onyx specially imported from South America. The house was requisitioned by the warti ...

Richard Seaford
Richard Seaford is a British classicist. He is professor emeritus of classics and ancient history at the University of Exeter. His work focuses on ancient Greek culture, especially that of ancient Athens. Career Seaford has published widely on Greek literature and religion, from Homer to the New Testament, and especially on the god Dionysos. His book ''Money and the Early Greek Mind. Homer, Tragedy, Philosophy'' (2004) explores the role of money on ancient Greek culture, which he argues was the first culture to become pervasively monetised. He argues that the introduction of coinage, which occurred around the end of the 7th century BCE, provided a crucial stimulus for the advent of Greek philosophy, in which a universal substance is (like money) transformed from and into everything else. In 2005–2008 he was awarded a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship for a study of Aeschylus. For 2013-4 he was awarded an AHRC Fellowship for a comparative historical study of early Indian w ...
