Prayer to the Justice-Makers

Justice, born of the mind of Zeus Lady with the blindfold, mistress of swords May your unwavering spirit come forth and protect What needs thy hand, guiding your blade To shift the Eumenides dark gaze Bringing swift punishment and Fairness to mortals of all sorts

português:

Justiça, nascida da mente de Zeus Donzela com a venda, senhora das espadas Que teu espírito infalível venha e proteja O que necessita de tua mão, guiando a lâmina Volteando o olhar pavoroso das Eumênides Trazendo veloz punição e Equidade para mortais de toda sorte.

Dykes and landscapes

Dykes most frequently occur as igneous rocks which once were liquid magma that intruded older rocks. Dykes form as sub-vertical to vertical linear sheet-like features and can be millimetres to kilometres wide.

Dykes can contribute to formation of interesting landscape features. For example, in above photograph, the dyke was more resistant to weathering and erosion than the rock it intruded, and so, it gave rise to a tall protruding wall known as the Breadknife, the Warrumbungle National Park. Whereas, in the photograph below, the dyke is less resistant to weathering and erosion, and so erosion of the dyke resulted in formation of a slot or a gully in the cliff near Kiama, south coast NSW.

Erosion of surface features (such as rocks) at different rates is referred to as differential erosion.

"As for the opposite of dikē, which is hubris, I have already noted that this word is conventionally translated as ‘outrage’. But this translation does not capture adequately the metaphorical world of hubris as the opposite of dikē in the sense of ‘justice’. To understand in more depth the meaning of hubris as the opposite of dikē, I propose to outline the contexts in which we find the word hubris, and I divide these contexts into the realms of (1) humans; (2) animals; and (3) plants.

In the human realm, hubris refers to acts that provoke a sense of moral outrage, which calls for a response by humans and gods alike, and the response can take the form of social and cosmic sanctions respectively; in the Odyssey, for example, hubris refers frequently to the behavior of the suitors of Penelope (i 368 and so on). … As for the realm of animals, hubris refers more simply to any behavior that is violent (Herodotus 1.189) or sexual (as in Pindar Pythian 10.36)—though such behavior extends of course from animals to humans. As for the realm of plants, hubris refers to excessive productivity in one aspect of the plant, to the detriment of other aspects: for example, in the case of fruit-bearing trees and shrubs, hubris would result in the excessive production of wood or of leaves at the expense of the fruit itself.

I turn to a case described by the botanist Theophrastus (fourth / third century BCE). In the passage I am about to quote, Theophrastus is analyzing the behavior of the white lupin plant (Lupinus albus), a kind of shrub that bears a fruit (a kind of “bean”) that is even today commonly eaten as a snack in many parts of the Mediterranean world: The white lupin [shrub] becomes a-karpos [= stops bearing karpos,‘fruit’] when it gets wood-crazy, as it were, and behaves with exuberance [hubris]. Theophrastus About the aetiologies of plants (3.1.5) Or again, in the case of almond trees, soil that is poor in nutrients is better than rich soil for cultivating these trees if the objective is to produce plenty of almonds: For almond trees, poor soil [is preferable], for if the soil is deep and rich, the trees experience an exuberance [hubris] because of all the good nutrition, and they stop bearing fruit [a-karpeîn]. Theophrastus About the aetiologies of plants 2.16.812§14.

To counteract the undergrowth of fruit in plants, the cultivator must prevent the overgrowth of wood or leaves in order to restore equilibrium in growth. So the cultivator must regulate the plant. Theophrastus, in his treatise Research about plants (2.7.7), mentions a wide variety of ways to regulate, including the process of pruning (for example, the pruning of grape vines at 3.15.4); and he notes a traditional way for referring to such a process: you can say that the cultivator ‘punishes the plant that is committing hubris’ (kolazein hōs hubrizon to dendron). … As we saw at the beginning of this hour, a primary metaphor for dikē in the sense of ‘justice’ is a flourishing field or garden or orchard or grove or vineyard or any other such place where vegetation is cultivated. And now we see that hubris, which is the opposite of dikē, is a negative force that counteracts the flourishing of vegetation: hubris results in vegetal overgrowth and undergrowth. From a mythological point of view, the extreme landscapes of hubris are a wildland or a desert."
