Penelope
Penelope ( ; Ancient Greek: Πηνελόπεια, ''Pēnelópeia'', or el, Πηνελόπη, ''Pēnelópē'') is a character in Homer's ''Odyssey.'' She was the queen of Ithaca and was the daughter of Spartan king Icarius and naiad Periboea. Penelope is known for her fidelity to her husband Odysseus, despite the attention of more than a hundred suitors during his absence. In one source, Penelope's original name was Arnacia or Arnaea. Etymology Glossed by Hesychius as "some kind of bird" (today arbitrarily identified with the Eurasian wigeon, to which Linnaeus gave the binomial ''Anas penelope''), where () is a common Pre-Greek suffix for predatory animals; however, the semantic relation between the proper name and the gloss is not clear. In folk etymology, () is usually understood to combine the Greek word (), "weft", and (), "face", which is considered the most appropriate for a cunning weaver whose motivation is hard to decipher. Robert S. P. Beekes believed the name ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Eunice Rivers Laurie
Eunice Verdell Rivers Laurie (1899 – 1986) was an African American nurse who worked in the state of Alabama. She is mostly known for her work as one of the nurses of the U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study in Macon County from 1932 to 1972. The Tuskegee Experiment, as laymen call it (not the name for this study), was an inhumane study that deliberately allowed black men to develop syphilis when there was treatment for the disease. Early life and education Born into a farming family in rural Georgia in 1899, Eunice Verdell Rivers was the oldest of three daughters. She was born at a time and place in which race relations in the United States were at their lowest point. Originating from a poor, working-class family, Rivers' education allowed her access to middle-class life. Her mother, who died when Rivers was 15 years old, encouraged her to attend school from a young age. She told Rivers to “get a good education, so (she) wouldn't have to work in the fields so hard.” H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
