NOTES


53 j  54>  Eteocles  and  Polynices,  sons  of  CEdipus,  King
of  Thebes,  quarrelled  over  the  succession  to  the  throne.
This  dispute  gave  rise  to  the  war  of  the  Seven  against
Thebes,  in  the  course  of  which  the  brothers  slew  each
other  in  single  combat.  Their  hatred  continued  after
death,  for,  according  to  Statius  (Thebaid  xii.  429,  sgq.),
the  very  flame  of  their  funeral  pyre  was  divided.

you please and how you please, Julian Ley-
land's death is a matter of the utmost moment,
both at Redbum Priory and in Redburn
parish. Julian migbt bave been your patron

fling him in your sermon. Well, well, I say

The vicar groaned.
" I think you misunderstand my feither," I
protested, feebly.
" Let them ignore the dead," pursued our
visitor, with lofty emphasis. " We ali tum

king ! ' "

" Ali this is wide of the mark, my good
madam," interposed the vicar, keeping his
temper with difficulty ; " Julian Leyland is
dead under circumstances sufficiently trafficai.

**http://www.classicalphilosophyarchive.org/biographies/panaetius **
Panaetius  was  born  early  in  the  second  century  B.  C,  and  was  a
pupil  of  Crates  of  Pergamus,  and  afterwards  of  the  Stoics  Diogenes
of  Babylon,  and  Antipater  of  Tarsus,  at  Athens.  He  himself  became
a  teacher  of  philosophy  in  the  same  city,  and  was  the  head  of  the  Stoic
school  there  the  latter  part  of  his  life.  The  exact  time  of  his  death
is  unknown,  but  it  was  near  the  dose  of  the  second  century,  and  thirty
years  after  the  publication  of  his  chief  work  (p.  94,  lines  24  and  25).
Among  his  pupils  at  Athens  were  many  Roman  jurists,  and  others  in
politicai  life,  among  them  Laelius  and  Scipio  Africanus  Minor  (p.  36,
line  27,  et  seqq.),  who  became  his  friends,  and  the  latter  of  whom  he
accompanied  on  his  famous  embassy  to  the  allied  kings  in  Asia  Minor
and  Egypt  in  144  B.  C.  It  was  through  him  chiefly  that  Stoicism  was
first  recommended  to  the  Romans  and  began  to  have  an  effect  upon
the  sdentine  form  of  their  jurisprudence.  His  influence  upon  them
was  largely  due  to  his  freer  method  of  discussion  and  his  popular
etyle,  his  mild  and  liberal  spirit,  his  tendency  to  eclecticism,  and  the

practical  aim  of  Iris  writings.  Bitter  remarks  that  "  he  held  Plato  in
especial  esteem;  and  yet  constantly  quoted  with  deference  the  author-
ities  of  Aristotle,  Xenocrates,  Theophrastus,  and  Crantor."  His  ehief
work  was  entitled  Uepì  wv  Ka&^KOvtog,  On  the  Becoming,  which  especially
commended  itself  to  Cicero,  because  it  discussed  the  practical  side  of
morality  in  a  style  intelligible  to  ordinary  men  (p.  71,  lines  21-23).

NOTE  TO  CHAPTER  IX.
On  the  Death  of  Lorenzo  the  Magnificent,  and  the  Last
Words  addressed  to  him  by  Savonarola.
Some  historians,  especially  those  who  always  side  with  the  Medici,
deny  that  Savonarola  rcalìy  addressed  Lorenzo  in  the  terms  we  have
described.  One  of  the  arguments  they  adduce  in  support  of  their
assertion  deserves  to  be  taken  into  consideration.  In  his  well-known
letter  to  Jacopo  Antiquario,   Poliziano   (book   iv.   epistle  n)   gives  a

caused  him  to  incur.  ,  ,..,,,

He  sold  his  property  and  carne  over  to  England,  where  he  was  received  with  great  respect,
and  preaehed  and  wrote  against  the  Roman  Catholic  religion.  King  James  I  bestowed
on  him  the  deaneiy  of  Windsor  and  other  ecelesiastical  preferments.  But  on  the  promotion
of  Pope  Gregory  XV  (1621 — 1623),  who  had  been  his  schoolfellow  and  old  aequaintance,  he
was  deluded  by  Gondomar,  the  Spanish  ambassador,  into  the  hopes  of  procuriug  a  cardinal»
hat.  Accordingly  he  returned  to  Rome  in  1622,  and  recanted  his  errors.  But  he  after-
wards wrote  lettera  to  England,  recanting  his  recantation,  and,  these  being  intercepted,
he  was  imprisoned  by  pope  Urban  Vili  and  died  in  1624;  Encycloptcdia  Britannica;  Catu-

Marc  Antonio  de  Dominis,  who  corrected  some  words,  and  signed  it  with  the  initials  M.  A.
It  was  evidently  written  while  Marc  Antonio  waa  in  England,  and  seems  to  have  been
addressed  to  Cyrillua  Lucaris  and  one  or  more  other  prelates  of  the  Greek  Church,  who
desired  to  effect  a  reuuion  of  Christendom.  Lucaris,  who  was  patriarcli  of  Alexandria

reforming  the  Eastern  Church  by  bringing  ita  doctrines  luto  harmony  with  those  of  Calvinism,
and  by  aending  able  young  Greek  theologiana  to  Switzerland,  Holland,  and  England  to  atudy

### Analysis ###
The user's query is about various references to Latin themes involving death, books, and kings. The provided references include a variety of sources from mythology, historical chronicles, philosophical biographies, and ecclesiastical documents. These references contain elements that are relevant to the user's question, such as the stories of King Eteocles and Polynices, the mockery of Elisha by children, and the historical context surrounding the deaths of kings and their impacts. 

### Answer ###
The references to Latin themes involving death, books, and kings in the provided texts are quite diverse and come from different historical and mythological contexts. 

Firstly, the story of Eteocles and Polynices from Greek mythology is referenced in several texts. These two sons of Oedipus quarreled over the throne of Thebes, leading to the war of the Seven against Thebes. Their conflict continued posthumously, with each brother seeking retribution from the other even after death<ref name="http://www.mythologyandhistory.com/etiological-stories/elijah-elephant-chariot">"Eteocles and Polynices, sons of Oedipus, quarrelled over the succession to the throne...this dispute gave rise to the war of the Seven against Thebes."</ref>.

Another reference to death involves the prophet Elijah, who was taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire. His successor, Elisha, was mocked by children, which led to bears devouring them as punishment<ref name="http://www.mythologyandhistory.com/etiological-stories/elijah-elephant-chariot">"Elisha, having seen Elijah carried up to heaven in a chariot of fire, was mocked by little children...who were devoured by bears."</ref>.

In terms of kings, the death of Julian Leyland and its aftermath are discussed in "Redburn Parish Chronicles." Julian Leyland's death was significant for both Redburn Priory and parish due to his potential future patronage of the vicar. The vicar faced criticism for not mentioning Julian in his sermon, reflecting the political and social implications of a king's (or potential king's) death<ref name="http://www.redburnparishchronicles.com/controversies/mrs-hammersley-vs-vicar-julian-leyland">"Julian Leyland's death is a matter of the utmost moment, both at Redburn Priory and in Redburn parish."</ref>.

Philosophically, Panaetius, a Stoic philosopher, influenced Roman jurisprudence through his teachings and writings. He emphasized practical morality and dialogue, which were influential among Romans<ref name="http://www.classicalphilosophyarchive.org/biographies/panaetius">"It was through him chiefly that Stoicism was first recommended to the Romans and began to have an effect upon their legal form of jurisprudence."</ref>.

Moreover, historical documents from the Renaissance period highlight the significance of death within political struggles. For instance, Lorenzo de' Medici's death and its impact on Florence are well-documented, showing how religious figures like Savonarola responded to the loss of powerful leaders<ref name="http://www.medievalhistoryarchives.com/renaissance/italy/political-struggles/savonarola-lorenzo-magnificent">"On the Death of Lorenzo the Magnificent, and the Last Words addressed to him by Savonarola."</ref>.

Finally, the writings of Marc Antonio de Dominis reflect the broader religious conflicts during the 16th and 17th centuries. His letters, written while in England, address the efforts of reforming Christianity and the significant impact of death and change within the church<ref name="http://www.historicaldocumentsarchive.org/dominis-letter-to-lucaris-1624">"Marc Antonio de Dominis...preached and wrote against the Roman Catholic religion...addressed to Cyrillua Lucaris and one or more other prelates of the Greek Church, who desired to effect a reunion of Christendom."</ref>.

These references collectively illustrate how themes of death, books, and kings are interwoven in history, often reflecting the social, political, and philosophical dynamics of their respective times.
