The Creation

To many the name Amurrū will come as something new, but to Assyriologists mât Amurrē, “the land of Amurrū,” is a revelation dating from the time of the decipherment of the Tel al-Amarna tablets in 1887–8. It is true that the identity of the name did not dawn on them immediately, but it was not long before they became aware of it. When this took place they realized that the district which they had read as mât Aḫarrē, thought of as “the land behind”, and rendered “the west”, had, owing to the polyphony of the Assyro-Babylonian syllabary, been misread. It should have been mât Amurrē, and translated “the land of Amurrū”, i.e. “the Amorites”, who, because they dwelt west of Assyria and Babylonia, were thought of as “the westerners”, and their country became the designation of the western cardinal point.

Natural Strains

The author mentioned in his Main Lecture(1) the success achieved in the analysis of three-dimensional media, for small and large displacements, as well as anisotropic and non-elastic behaviour, by the introduction of tetrahedron elements of constant strain and stress(2), see also technical note 1 of this series(3). A cardinal point of the theory is the specification of natural strains, stresses and stiffness. At the same time attention was drawn to certain difficulties arising in the interpretation of the stresses at the nodal or other points, which are more severe than for constant strain triangles, the corresponding elements in the two-dimensional case. It was suggested in the lecture that a considerable improvement might be achieved by the specification of a linearly varying strain or stress state within the tetrahedron. The solution of this problem, limited to small displacements, is summarised in this fifth technical note and its application is to be demonstrated on an example in the printed lecture.

A. W. Verrall (The Altar of Mercy, Literary Essays Classical and Modern, Cambridge, 1913) considers rightly that the scene at Thebaid I 2. 481 ff. is ‘the cardinal point of the whole poem’. I hope to show that Statius has portrayed the goddess Clementia as a force which functions in a way very different from that which his readers would expect from their experience of the usage of the word clementia and that his new portrayal is closely related to a theme of the poem. I shall suggest that his redefinition of the concept was inspired by the political situation in which he found himself. The Altar of Mercy focuses Statius' thoughts on the position of man in the universe and of the individual in society, and coming as it does after eleven books of disaster offers some comfort to man in his suffering. Statius is concerned in the Thebaid with man as a tragic victim, and the Altar of Mercy affords him comfort precisely in that area in which he most seeks it.

“Imagination doth denote the mind active”, said Berkeley. And the activity of the mind, finite as well as infinite, was a cardinal point in his philosophy. Imagination showed that minds, or spirits, to use the term Berkeley preferred, were causal agents.
