The presentation will be given by Jesús García Calero (Head of Culture at ABC), Alberto Pérez Rubio (Editor of Desperta Ferro Ediciones) and Eduardo Kavanagh (Director of Desperta Ferro Antigua y Medieval). They will offer, first of all, a brief historical introduction to the exciting figure of the king of Pontus, followed by an exposition about what would be the clash between the forms of combat of the Hellenistic and Roman republican cultural universes, between the phalanx and the legion. . We would like nothing more than to be able to count on the assistance of our readers, so we invite you to come so that you can enjoy with us what will be a small festival of culture.
We will also have the participation of the re-enactors Juan Aguilar (Athenea Prómakhos) and Lvcivs Minicivs Sceptivs (Evocati), who will illustrate the talk with the recreation of the Greek and Roman panoplies. Thank you very much Martin!In the footsteps of the B2B Email List Bear and the Maiden: the historical and faunal background of CdHyF One of the clearest cases is that of this apprentice of Genghis Khan who is Khal Drogo ; everyone knows that Genghis Khan conquered half the world. dothraki mongol warrior Will the hypermuscled Dothraki ever match the military achievements of the fearsome Mongols? Everyone knows that, from a few thousand steppe savages on horseback, he founded an efficiently functioning multi-ethnic empire that ruled from China to the Caucasus.
Everyone knew that Khal Drogo would emulate him and, even if it cost him his life, like Genghis Khan himself, he would conquer the well-fortified cities of Westeros for his beloved Daenerys, as well as half, or all, of Essos. And everyone saw how Martin laughed at them and their school knowledge when Khal Drogo died from a poisoned wound, just like his real-life emulator, but before he conquered anything, before he became the khal of khals and before even setting foot outside the Dothraki steppes . This is just one example, there are many more. That Martin depends on medieval history to shape his work? Completely. Without everything we have been told at school, seen in movies and so on, we would understand absolutely nothing about the world of Westeros and we would simply have to limit ourselves to letting ourselves be carried away by what the author told us; It would be another work of fiction. That Martin is faithful to this medieval story? Not even close.
What the author does is take fragments of this medieval story, tie them to a thread and make them dance as he pleases, like in a puppet theater. We all know that in the medieval tale Saint George kills the dragon and saves the princess, we have seen it a zillion times. In Martin's work there are dragon-slaying heroes, dragons and princesses, but will the princess be in love with the dragon and will she kill the knight? Could the dragon be the vigilante who planned to end the tyranny inflicted by evil knights and princesses?
