The Prince is a short tract that proposes to teach rulers the “actual” precepts that will lead them to govern effectively. ![]() Although Machiavelli wrote numerous other works, including poetry and plays as well as history and a treatise on warfare, his reputation as an important author rests primarily upon the two major political compositions just mentioned.

It turns out that cells read the genetic code in DNA more like a script to be interpreted than a mould that replicates the same result each time. How is it that, despite each cell in your body carrying exactly the same DNA, you don't have teeth growing out of your eyeballs or toenails on your liver? How is it that identical twins share exactly the same DNA and yet can exhibit dramatic differences in the way that they live and grow? ![]() The cutting-edge of biology, however, is telling us that we still don't even know all of the questions.

This Office of Research and Creative Activities (ORCA) funded project has produced an Honors Thesis that discusses the Metamorphoses as Ovid’s poetic response to a debate that had existed since the Hellenistic Era and as an acclamation of his own skill as a poet. Scholars have long debated the intent and purpose of these changes. They have instead been changed to fit some purpose unexplained by the author. The text of the Metamorphoses is also intriguing to scholars because many of the myths it contains do not follow the traditional accounts given in other ancient sources. ![]() Although Ovid declares it to be an epic, it nevertheless displays several striking differences in style and composition from traditional epics such as Virgil’s Aeneid and Homer’s Odyssey and Iliad.
