“— The original introduction of the series by Crane, Kauffman and Bright.


Question: How many minutes does one Seinfeld episode last?

Frends

[28] David Crane and Marta Kauffman began developing three new television series commencement episodes that would be aired in the fall of 1994, following NBC's cancellation of their former series Family Album in 1993.


Question: How many minutes does one Seinfeld episode last?

Frends

[29] Kauffman and Crane decided to create a series for NBC about “the lives of six individuals in their 20s on Manhanttan” because they felt it would be best suited there.


Question: How many minutes does one Seinfeld episode last?

Frends

[30] Crane and Kauffman pitched the idea to Kevin Bright, who had served as a producer on their HBO television channel series Dream On.


Question: How many minutes does one Seinfeld episode last?

Frends

[31] The idea for the series originated when Crane and Kauffman reflected on a time when they had finished school and began living alone in New York City; they looked at a time when the future was more of a question mark.


Question: How many minutes does one Seinfeld episode last?

[28] They found the concept interesting because they believed “everyone knew that feeling”, [28] and because they had experienced it themselves in their own lives.

Ancient Greek religion

Ancient Greek religion consisted of several cults, beliefs and ordinances that lived parallel to each other, with varied origins and histories.

Ancient Greek religion

Greek religion was not just about Greek mythology and its deities; it involves various folk beliefs, cult ordinances and mundane rituals, as well as mystery religions.

Question: What is the origin of the Greek religion?

Ancient Greek religion

Also identifiable also appear to be the later Apollon designation of Paian (pa-and-wo-ne), Ares (a-re), or Enyalios (e-nu-wa-ri-jo), Artemis (a-te-mi-to, a-ti-mi-te), Athena, or Athena (a-ta-na), Dionysus (di-wo-nu-so), Eileithyia i.e. Ia (e-re-u-ti-ja) and Hermes or Hermes Areias ( e-ma-*25 a-re-and).

Herodotus later regarded the birth of the Gods as authority regarding the names of the gods and their attributes.

Ancient Greek religion

[10] However, Homer and Hesiodos did not invent gods, and for the most part they took names for the gods from old cults.


Question: What is the origin of the Greek religion?

Ancient Greek religion

However, they can be seen to have given the Greeks their pantheon, the world of god; thanks to Homer in particular, older local deities were gradually sidelined from the way of the Olympian gods, and the Homeric gods thus became pan-Greek gods.

Ancient Greek religion

[1] However, the older, local god world did not completely disappear.
