query: Aphrodite is the son of Poseidon and Hera in Homer's Iliad.

positive: Aphrodite Aphrodite ( -LSB- æfrəˈdaɪti -RSB- ; Greek : Αφροδίτη ( Afrodíti ) ) is the Greek goddess of love , beauty , pleasure , and procreation . She is identified with the planet Venus ; her Roman equivalent is the goddess -LSB- Venus ( mythology ) , Venus -RSB- . Myrtle , roses , doves , sparrows and swans were sacred to her .   In Hesiod 's Theogony , Aphrodite was created from the sea foam ( aphros ) produced by Uranus 's genitals , which had been severed by Cronus .  In Homer 's Iliad , however , she is the daughter of Zeus and Dione . In Plato ( Symposium , 180e ) , these two origins are said to be of hitherto separate entities : Aphrodite Ourania ( a transcendent , `` Heavenly '' Aphrodite ) and Aphrodite Pandemos ( Aphrodite common to `` all the people '' ) . She had many other names , each emphasising a different aspect of the same goddess , or used by a different local cult . Thus she was also known as Cytherea ( Lady of Cythera ) and Cypris ( Lady of Cyprus ) , both of which claimed to be her place of birth .   In Greek myth , the other gods feared that Aphrodite 's beauty might lead to conflict and war , through rivalry for her favours ; so Zeus married her off to Hephaestus . Despite this , Aphrodite followed her own inclinations , and had many lovers -- both gods , such as Ares , and men , such as Anchises . She played a role in the Eros and Psyche legend , and was both lover and surrogate mother of Adonis . Many lesser beings were said to be children of Aphrodite .

negative: Deception of Zeus The section of the Iliad that ancient editors called the Dios apate ( the `` Deception of Zeus '' ) stands apart from the remainder of Book XIV . In this episode , Hera makes an excuse to leave her divine husband Zeus ; in her deception speech she declares that she wishes to go to Oceanus , `` origin of the gods '' , and Tethys the `` mother '' . Instead Hera beautifies herself in preparation for seducing Zeus and obtains the help of Aphrodite . In the climax of the episode Zeus and Hera make love hidden within a golden cloud on the summit of Mount Ida . By distracting Zeus , Hera makes it possible for the Greeks to regain the upper hand in the Trojan War .   The peculiarities of this episode were already being discussed in Antiquity . Even early commentators were shocked by the storyline and its implications for the morality of the gods . An expression of this moral criticism is found in Plato 's Republic .   Later , as it became fashionable to question whether certain passages of the known text of the Iliad were really composed by Homer ( see Homeric scholarship ) , the genuineness of the `` Deception of Zeus '' was doubted . Albrecht Dihle listed the linguistic features unique to this section and `` found so many deviations from the normal traditional use of Homeric formulas that he concluded that this section of the Iliad could not belong to the phase of oral tradition but was a written composition . '' Richard Janko , by contrast , describes the episode as `` a bold , brilliant , graceful , sensuous , and above all amusing virtuoso performance , wherein Homer parades his mastery of the other types of epic composition in his repertoire '' . The debate on this issue is not yet settled .   Walter Burkert found that the passage `` shows divinity in a naturalistic , cosmic setting which is not otherwise a feature of Homeric anthropomorphism '' , and linked it to the opening of the Babylonian Enuma Elish where Apsu and Tiamat , respectively the fresh and salt waters , are the primordial couple who `` were mixing their waters . '' Like Tethys and Oceanus they were superseded by a later generation of gods . Tethys does not otherwise appear in early Greek myth and she had no established cult .

negative: Dione (Titaness) Dione ( -LSB- daɪˈoʊni -RSB- Διώνη , Diōnē ) was an ancient Greek goddess , an oracular Titaness primarily known from Book V of Homer 's Iliad , where she tends to the wounds suffered by her daughter Aphrodite . One source describes her as an ancient wife of Zeus .

negative: Anchises In Greek mythology , Anchises ( -LSB- ænˈkaɪsiːz -RSB- or -LSB- æŋˈkaɪsiːz -RSB- ; , -LSB- aŋkʰi͜ísɛ͜ɛs -RSB- ) was the son of Capys and Themiste ( daughter of Ilus , who was son of Tros ) . He was the father of Aeneas and a member of the royal family of Troy .   His major claim to fame in Greek mythology is that he was a mortal lover of the goddess Aphrodite ( and in Roman mythology , the lover of Venus ) . One version is that Aphrodite pretended to be a Phrygian princess and seduced him . She later revealed herself and informed him that they would have a son named Aeneas . Aphrodite had warned him that if he boasted of the affair , he would be blasted by the thunderbolt of Zeus . He did not heed her warning and was struck with a thunderbolt , which in different versions either blinds him or kills him . The principal early narrative of Aphrodite 's seduction of Anchises and the birth of Aeneas is the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite . According to the Bibliotheca , Anchises and Aphrodite had another son , Lyrus , who died childless . He later had a mortal wife named Eriopis , according to the scholiasts , and he is credited with other children beside Aeneas and Lyrus . Homer , in the Iliad , mentions a daughter named Hippodameia , their eldest ( `` the darling of her father and mother '' ) , who married her cousin Alcathous .   After the defeat of Troy in the Trojan War , the elderly Anchises was carried from the burning city by his son Aeneas , accompanied by Aeneas ' wife Creusa , who died in the escape attempt , and small son Ascanius . The subject is depicted in several paintings , including a famous version by Federico Barocci in the Galleria Borghese in Rome . The rescue is also mentioned in a speech in Shakespeare 's Julius Caesar when Cassius attempts to persuade Brutus to murder Caesar . Anchises himself died and was buried in Sicily many years later . Aeneas later visited Hades and saw his father again in the Elysian Fields .   Homer 's Iliad mentions another Anchises , a wealthy native of Sicyon in Greece and father of Echepolus .

negative: Heraion of Argos The Heraion of Argos is an ancient temple in Argos , Greece . It was part of the greatest sanctuary in the Argolid , dedicated to Hera , whose epithet `` Argive Hera '' ( Ἥρη Ἀργείη Here Argeie ) appears in Homer 's works . Hera herself claims to be the protector of Argos in Iliad IV , 50 -- 52 ) : `` The three towns I love best are Argos , Sparta and Mycenae of the broad streets '' . The memory was preserved at Argos of an archaic , aniconic pillar representation of the Great Goddess . The site , which might mark the introduction of the cult of Hera in mainland Greece , lies northeast of Argos between the archaeological sites of Mycenae and Midea , two important Mycenaean cities . The traveller Pausanias , visiting the site in the 2nd century CE , referred to the area as Prosymna .

negative: Poltys Poltys is also a genus of orb-weaving spider .   In Greek mythology , Poltys is a mythical king and eponym of the Thracian city of Poltyobria ( or Poltymbria ; also called Aenus ) , featured in Apollodorus 's account of the story of the hero Heracles . Poltys and his brother Sarpedon are given as sons of the sea-god Poseidon . Poltys hosted Heracles when the hero came to Aenus ; although Poltys welcomed Heracles , Sarpedon did not , and was slain by Heracles on the beach .   In a story related by Plutarch ( Morals ) , Poltys ruled at the outbreak of the Trojan War , and was solicited both by the Trojan and Greek ambassadors . Poltys advised Paris to restore Helen , promising to give him two beautiful women to replace her . The advice was declined . Homer does not mention Poltys in the Iliad , and the story is obviously post-Homeric .

negative: Pergamus In Greek mythology , Pergamus -LSB- ˈpɜrɡəməs -RSB- was the son of the warrior Neoptolemus and Andromache .   Pergamus ( or Pergamos ) is also the name of the citadel of Troy in Homer 's Iliad .

negative: Aegae (Euboea) Aegae ( Αἰγαί Aigai ) was an ancient town on the west coast of the island of Euboea , opposite the mainland city of Anthedon . The geographer Strabo records a sanctuary of Aegean Poseidon on a mountain nearby .   It seems to be dinstict of legendary Aegae , the namesake of the Aegean Sea , which was situated on the east coast of the island , near modern Kymi . It 's not unlikely that Aegae got actually switched to Kymi/Cuma , as the generic name Kymi/Cuma , just means city in the Aeolic dialect .   Legendary Aegae is mentioned e.g. by Homer in Book 5 of the Odyssey , in which Poseidon `` lashed his long-maned horses and drove to Aegae , where he had his famous palace '' after having destroyed Odysseus ' raft with a storm . It was also mentioned by Homer in Book 13 of the Iliad , in which Poseidon '' -LSB- took three strides -RSB- , and with the fourth he reached his goal -- Aegae , where is his glittering golden palace , imperishable , in the depths of the sea . ''

negative: Nerites (mythology) In Greek mythology , Nerites was a minor sea deity , son of Nereus and Doris ( apparently their only male offspring ) and brother of the fifty Nereids . He is described as a young boy of stunning beauty .   According to Aelian , Nerites was never mentioned by epic poets such as Homer and Hesiod , but was a common figure in the mariners ' folklore . Aelian also cites two versions of the myth concerning Nerites , which are as follows .   In one of the versions , Aphrodite , even before her ascension from the sea to Olympus , fell in love with Nerites . When the time had come for her to join the Olympian gods , she wanted Nerites to go with her , but he refused , preferring to stay with his family in the sea . Even the fact that Aphrodite promised him a pair of wings did not make him change his mind . The scorned goddess then transformed him into a shellfish and gave the wings to her son Eros . Nerea , one of his sister nereids , found him and begged Poseidon to give him back his normal form . Poseidon accepted and returned Nerites to normal .   In the other version , Nerites was loved by Poseidon and answered his feelings . From their mutual love arose Anteros ( personification of reciprocated love ) . Poseidon also made Nerites his charioteer ; the boy drove the chariot astonishingly fast , to the admiration of various sea creatures . But Helios , for reasons unknown to Aelian 's sources , changed Nerites into a shellfish . Aelian himself supposes that Helios might have wanted the boy for himself and was offended by his refusal . Like the first version , Nerea , found him and begged Poseidon to give him back his normal form . Poseidon took pity on her and returned Nerites to his original shape .

negative: Theomachy A theomachy is a battle among gods in Greek mythology .   An early example is the Titanomachy ( War of the Titans ) , in which the Olympian Gods fought against the preceding generation , the Titans . The war lasted ten years and resulted in the victory of the Olympians and their dominion over the world . Another case is the Gigantomachy .   The gods were once again divided against one another , each supporting a different side during the Trojan War . In the Iliad , multiple theomachies occur . One is fought between Diomedes with the direct aid of Athena against Ares ( part of Diomedes ' aristeia in Book 5 ) . Ares is wounded by the spear guided by Athena ; this is the first theomachy to occur chronologically in the Iliad . Book 20 begins with Zeus ' grant of permission to the gods to participate in the battle and is traditionally known under the title Theomachia . In Book 21 ( 478ff . ) there is fighting between Hera and Artemis . This battle is shown by Homer to be almost playful as Hera is smiling while she boxes the ears of Artemis , which causes Artemis to fly away in tears . Also in Book 21 , Poseidon challenges Apollo to fight . Apollo rejects his offer and comments on the triviality of gods fighting over the whims of mortals while their own pain from injury would be transitory and quickly healed . Theomachy is purposely added to show the unbridgeable gap between mortal men and the immortals who rule them . By showing the triviality of divine pain , human suffering is highlighted .

negative: Stentor In Greek mythology , Stentor ( Greek : Στέντωρ ; gen. : Στέντορος ) was a herald of the Greek forces during the Trojan War . He is mentioned briefly in Homer 's Iliad , in which Hera tells Stentor to encourage the Greeks to fight ; Homer says his `` voice was as powerful as fifty voices of other men '' .   Elsewhere , Stentor is said to have died after losing a shouting contest with Hermes .   Stentor 's story is the origin of the term `` stentorian '' , meaning loud-voiced , for which he was famous . Aristotle uses the concept in his Politics Book 7 , Chapter IV saying , `` For who can be the general of such a vast multitude , or who the herald , unless he have the voice of a Stentor ? ''

negative: Altar of the Twelve Gods The Altar of the Twelve Gods ( also called the Sanctuary of the Twelve Gods ) , was an altar and sanctuary at Athens , located in the northwest corner of the Agora . The altar was set up by Pisistratus ( son of Hippias and grandson of Pisistratus the tyrant ) , during his archonship , in 522/1 BC . It marked the central point from which distances from Athens were measured and was a place of supplication and refuge .   The exact identities of the twelve gods to whom the altar was dedicated is uncertain , but they were most likely substantially the same as the twelve Olympian gods represented on the east frieze of the Parthenon : Zeus , Hera , Poseidon , Demeter , Apollo , Artemis , Hephaestus , Athena , Ares , Aphrodite , Hermes , and Dionysus , though there are reasons to suppose that Hestia may have been one of the twelve .

It was surveyed in 1955 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Homer 's Iliad .

negative: Eneti The Eneti ( Enetoi / ἐνετοί , Eneti , Heneti , Enete ) was a people that inhabited a region close to Paphlagonia , mentioned by Homer and Strabo .   Homer 's ( 850 BC ) Iliad . In Book II , Homer says that the ἐνετοί ( Enetoi ) inhabited Paphlagonia on the southern coast of the Black Sea in the time of the Trojan War ( c. 1200 BC ) . The Paphlagonians are listed among the allies of the Trojans in the war , where their king Pylaemenes and his son Harpalion perished .  Strabo mentioned that the inhabitants had disappeared by his time .

negative: Homeric Question The Homeric Question concerns the doubts and consequent debate over the identity of Homer , the authorship of the Iliad and Odyssey , and their historicity ( especially concerning the Iliad ) . The subject has its roots in classical antiquity and the scholarship of the Hellenistic period , but has flourished among Homeric scholars of the 19th and 20th centuries .   The main subtopics of the Homeric Question are :   `` Who is Homer ? ''  `` Are the Iliad and the Odyssey of multiple or single authorship ? ''  `` By whom , when , where , and under what circumstances were the poems composed ? ''   To these questions the possibilities of modern textual criticism and archaeological answers have added a few more :   `` How reliable is the tradition embodied in the Homeric poems ? ''  `` How old are the oldest elements in Homeric poetry which can be dated with certainty ? ''

negative: Cyclic Poets Cyclic Poets is a shorthand term for the early Greek epic poets , approximate contemporaries of Homer . We know no more about these poets than we know about Homer , but modern scholars regard them as having composed orally , as did Homer . In the classical period , surviving early epic poems were ascribed to these authors , just as the Iliad and Odyssey were ascribed to Homer . Together with Homer , whose Iliad covers a mere 50 days of the war , they cover the complete war `` cycle '' , thus the name . Most modern scholars place Homer in the 8th century BC . The other poets listed below seemed to have lived in the 7th -- 5th centuries BC . Excluding Homer 's , none of the works of the cyclic poets survive .

negative: Homer (disambiguation) Homer is the name given to the purported author of the Ancient Greek poems the Iliad and the Odyssey .   Homer can also refer to :

negative: Kanathos In ancient Greek religion , Kanathos in the Argolid was the spring at Nauplia , where Hera annually renewed her virginity . There , Pausanias noted , was `` a spring called Kanathos where , so say the Argives , Hera bathes every year and , by so doing , becomes a maiden ; it is this story which is of the secrets connected with the rites which they perform to Hera . '' The unspoken nature of the ritual forbade its being embodied openly or directly in Greek mythology . S. Casson suggested that it was the obscure subject of the so-called `` Ludovisi Throne '' , generally considered to represent the parallel , and far better-known , renewal of Aphrodite , bathing in the sea at Paphos .   At Samos , the ritual bathing of the Goddess was represented in cult thus : the archaic wooden cult image of Hera at Samos , originally an iconic plank of wood , or xoanon , was taken out annually and ritually washed in the sea , for which an aiton was offered in the form of a mythic anecdote . `` The bathing of a statue of a goddess is a commemorative re-enactment of the bath which the goddess took herself '' , G. W. Elderkin remarked of the bathing rituals of Aphrodite 's priestess called the loutrophoros , `` carrier of the washing-water '' .   For Jane Ellen Harrison , simply recalling that a triple Hera , perhaps of Pelasgian origin , was venerated at Stymphalos in Arcadia as maiden child , wife and even widow , was sufficient `` to enable us to recognize in her the year-goddess in the three Greek seasons , spring , summer-autumn and winter . At Nauplia too ( Pausanias ii .38.2 ) , year after year she renewed , as every year-deity must , her youth and maiden-hood by bathing in the Kanathos . The exclusive matron-hood , familiar to us in the Iliad , is but one aspect , emphasized to complete the literary Olympian family circle . ''   The water of the Eleutherion by the Heraion of Argos was also used for ritual bathing .

negative: Thestorides of Phocaea Thestorides of Phocaea was a legendary or semi-legendary early Greek poet , one of those to whom the epic Little Iliad was ascribed .   Thestorides figures as a major character in the fictional Life of Homer fraudulently ascribed to Herodotus . According to this , when Homer came to Phocaea Thestorides offered him food and lodging in exchange for the right to record his poetry in writing . Homer had little choice but to accept , and recited to Thestorides the Iliad , the Odyssey and also an epic on local history and legend , Phocais . This story is unique among the ancient legends concerning Homer as it embodies the claim that writing was known in Homer 's circle ; all other sources state or imply that Homer 's poems were transmitted orally to his followers or descendants . The Life adds that Thestorides afterwards moved to Chios , where he performed Homer 's poems as if they were his own and became famous . Homer heard rumours of this and eventually travelled to Chios also ; Thestorides , threatened with disgrace , left the island hastily .

negative: Gerena (Greece) Gerena or Gerenia was the name of a city that supposedly existed in Homer 's Iliad .

negative: Lycaon (Troy) In Greek mythology , as recorded in Homer 's Iliad , Lycaon ( -LSB- laɪˈkeɪən -RSB- Λυκάων gen. : Λυκάονος ) was a son of Priam and Laothoe , daughter of the Lelegian king Altes . He should not be confused with Lycaon , the father of Pandarus of Zeleia , who fought at Troy .

negative: Heraclitus (commentator) Heraclitus ( Ἡράκλειτος fl . 1st century AD ) was a grammarian and rhetorician who wrote a Greek commentary on Homer which is still extant .   Little is known about Heraclitus . It is generally accepted that he lived sometime around the 1st century AD . His one surviving work has variously been called Homeric Problems , Homeric Questions , or Homeric Allegories .   In his work , Heraclitus defended Homer against those who denounced him for his immoral portrayals of the gods . Heraclitus based his defense of Homer on allegorical interpretation . He gives interpretations of major episodes from the Iliad and the Odyssey , particularly those that received the greatest criticism , such as the battles between the gods and the love affair between Aphrodite and Ares .   Many of his allegories are physical , claiming that the poems represent elemental forces ; or ethical , that they contain edifying concealed messages . An important example of physical allegory is Heraclitus ' interpretation of the love affair between Aphrodite and Ares . He argues that Aphrodite and Ares represent Love and Strife , the forces responsible for the mixture and separation of the elements in Empedocles ' philosophy , which were `` united together after their ancient rivalry -LCB- philoneikia -RCB- in one accord '' . Because `` everything was joined together -LCB- harmosthenai -RCB- tranquilly and harmoniously '' , Heraclitus argues , '' -LSB- it -RSB- was reasonable for all the gods to laugh and rejoice together at this because their individual inclinations were not at variance over immoral acts , but were enjoying peaceful accord '' . He also interprets the affair as an allegory for the art of metalworking . His work contains a good deal of philosophical knowledge , especially Stoicism .

negative: Troy (disambiguation) Troy is the legendary city described in Homer 's Iliad .   Troy may also refer to :

negative: Phocus Phocus -LSB- ˈfoʊkəs -RSB- was the name of the eponymous hero of Phocis in Greek mythology . Ancient sources relate of more than one figure of this name , and of these at least two are explicitly said to have had Phocis named after them . A scholiast on the Iliad distinguishes between two possible eponyms : Phocus the son of Aeacus and Psamathe , and Phocus the son of Poseidon and Pronoe .

negative: Eryx In Greek mythology , Eryx was a king of the city of Eryx in Sicily . He was either the son of Poseidon or of Aphrodite and Butes the Argonaut of the Elymian people of Sicily who she spent several nights with at Lilybaeum to make Adonis jealous . Eryx was an excellent boxer but died when Heracles beat him in a match .   A different Eryx , one of the supporters of Phineus , was turned to stone by Perseus with the head of the Gorgon Medusa .

negative: Cyclops A cyclops ( -LSB- ˈsaɪklɒps -RSB- ; Κύκλωψ , Kyklōps ; plural cyclopes -LSB- saɪˈkloʊpiːz -RSB- ; Κύκλωπες , Kyklōpes ) , in Greek mythology and later Roman mythology , was a member of a primordial race of giants , each with a single eye in the center of his forehead . The word `` cyclops '' literally means `` round-eyed '' or `` circle-eyed '' .   Hesiod described three one-eyed cyclopes , Brontes , Steropes and Arges , the sons of Uranus and Gaia , brothers of the Titans , builders and craftsmen , while the epic poet Homer described another group of mortal herdsmen cyclopes the sons of Poseidon . Other accounts were written by the playwright Euripides , poet Theocritus and Roman epic poet Virgil . In Hesiod 's Theogony , Zeus releases three cyclopes from the dark pit of Tartarus . They provide Zeus ' thunderbolt , Hades ' helmet of invisibility , and Poseidon 's trident , and the gods use these weapons to defeat the Titans .   In a famous episode of Homer 's Odyssey , the hero Odysseus encounters the cyclops Polyphemus , the son of Poseidon and Thoosa , who lives with his fellow cyclopes in a distant country . The connection between the two groups has been debated in antiquity and by modern scholars . It is upon Homer 's account that Euripides and Virgil based their accounts of the mythical creatures . Strabo describes another group of seven Lycian cyclopes , also known as `` Bellyhands '' because they earned from their handicraft . They had built the walls of Tiryns and perhaps the caverns and the labyrinths near Nauplia , which are called cyclopean .

negative: Halie Halie or Halia ( Greek : Ἁλίη , Ἁλία ; the difference in ending is merely due to dialectal variations ) is the name of the following characters in Greek mythology :   Halie , one of the Nereids , daughter of Nereus and Doris  Halia , a nymph who lived on an island that would later be named Rhodes after her only daughter , Rhodos ( or Rhode ) . Halia was the daughter of Thalassa , sister of the Telchines , and mother of Rhodos and six sons by Poseidon . Shortly after Aphrodite 's birth , the goddess was traveling the oceans . When Halia 's young sons arrogantly refused to let Aphrodite land upon their shore , the goddess cursed them with insanity . In their madness , they raped Halia . As punishment , Poseidon buried them in the island 's sea-caverns . Halia later threw herself into the sea ; Rhodians argue that she became the goddess Leucothea . However , Leucothea is identified with Ino in all other sources .  Halia , daughter of Sybaris . In a sacred grove of Artemis , she encountered an enormous serpent that mated with her ; their offspring were the first members of the clan Ophiogeneis ( `` Serpent-born '' ) .  Halie , daughter of Tyllus . She married Cotys , son of Manes , the first king of Lydia , bearing him two sons , Asies and Atys , king of Lydia .

negative: Parallels between Virgil's Aeneid and Homer's Iliad and Odyssey When writing the Aeneid , Virgil ( or Vergil ) drew from his studies on the Homeric epics of the Iliad and the Odyssey to help him create a national epic poem for the Roman people . Virgil used several characteristics associated with epic poetry , more specifically Homer 's epics , including the use of hexameter verse , book division , lists of genealogies and underlying themes to draw parallels between the Romans and their cultural predecessors , the Greeks .


query: Georges Gilles de la Tourette described a novel.

positive: Georges Gilles de la Tourette Georges Albert Édouard Brutus Gilles de la Tourette ( 30 October 1857 -- 26 May 1904 ) was a French physician and the namesake of Tourette 's syndrome , a neurological condition characterized by physical and verbal tics . He was born in the small town of Saint-Gervais-les-Trois-Clochers in the district of Châtellerault , near the city of Loudun . He could be retrospectively classified as a neurologist , but the field did not exist in his time .   During 1873 Tourette began medical studies at Poitiers . He later relocated to Paris where he became a student , amanuensis , and house physician of his mentor , the influential contemporary neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot , director of the Salpêtrière Hospital . Charcot also helped him to advance in his academic career . Tourette studied and lectured in psychotherapy , hysteria and medical and legal ramifications of mesmerism ( modern-day hypnosis ) .   Tourette described the symptoms of Tourette 's syndrome in nine patients in 1884 , using the name `` maladie des tics '' . Charcot renamed the syndrome `` Gilles de la Tourette 's illness '' in his honor .   In 1893 , a former female patient shot Tourette in the head , claiming he had hypnotized her against her will . Both Tourette and many modern hypnologists state that this is impossible . His mentor , Charcot , had died recently , and his young son had also died recently . After these events , Tourette began to experience mood swings between depression and hypomania . Nevertheless , he organized public lectures in which he spoke about literacy , mesmerism and theatre .   Tourette published an article on hysteria in the German Army , which angered Bismarck , and a further article about unhygienic conditions in the floating hospitals on the river Thames . With Gabriel Legué he analyzed abbess Jeanne des Anges ' account of her hysteria that was allegedly based on her unrequited love for a priest Urbain Grandier , who was later burned for witchcraft .   Around 1902 , Tourette 's condition worsened and he was dismissed from his post . Gilles de la Tourette died on 26 May 1904 in a psychiatric hospital in Lausanne , Switzerland .

negative: History of Tourette syndrome Tourette syndrome is an inherited neurological disorder with onset in childhood , characterized by the presence of multiple physical ( motor ) tics and at least one vocal ( phonic ) tic .   The eponym was bestowed by Jean-Martin Charcot ( 1825 -- 93 ) on behalf of his resident , Georges Albert Édouard Brutus Gilles de la Tourette ( 1859 -- 1904 ) , a French physician and neurologist , who published an account of nine patients with Tourette 's in 1885 . The possibility that movement disorders , including Tourette syndrome , might have an organic origin was raised when an encephalitis epidemic from 1918 -- 1926 led to a subsequent epidemic of tic disorders . Research in 1972 advanced the argument that Tourette 's is a neurological , rather than psychological , disorder ; since the 1990s , a more neutral view of Tourette 's has emerged , in which biological vulnerability and adverse environmental events are seen to interact .   Findings since 1999 have advanced TS science in the areas of genetics , neuroimaging , neurophysiology , and neuropathology . Questions remain regarding how best to classify Tourette syndrome , and how closely Tourette 's is related to other movement disorders or psychiatric disorders . Good epidemiologic data is still lacking , and available treatments are not risk free and not always well tolerated .

negative: Causes and origins of Tourette syndrome Causes and origins of Tourette syndrome have not been fully elucidated . Tourette syndrome ( also called `` Tourette 's syndrome '' , `` Tourette 's disorder '' , `` Gilles de la Tourette syndrome '' , `` GTS '' or `` TS '' ) is an inherited neurological disorder with onset in childhood , characterized by the presence of multiple motor tics and at least one phonic tic , which characteristically wax and wane . Tourette 's syndrome occurs along a spectrum of tic disorders , which includes transient tics and chronic tics .   The exact cause of Tourette 's is unknown , but it is well established that both genetic and environmental factors are involved . Genetic studies have proved that the overwhelming majority of cases of Tourette 's are inherited , although the exact mode of inheritance is not yet known , and no gene has been identified . Tics are believed to result from dysfunction in the thalamus , basal ganglia , and frontal cortex of the brain , involving abnormal activity of the brain chemical , or neurotransmitter , dopamine . Non-genetic factors -- while not causing Tourette 's -- can influence the severity of the disorder . Some forms of Tourette 's may be genetically linked to obsessive-compulsive disorder ( OCD ) , while the relationship between Tourette 's and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) is not yet fully understood .

negative: Henri-Robert Henri-Robert ( 4 September 1863 -- 12 May 1936 ) was a French lawyer , historian , and member of the Académie française in 1923 .   Born of unknown parents and probably illegitimate , Henri-Robert was admitted to the Paris bar in 1885 and rose to become a celebrated criminal defense lawyer . He defended a young woman named Gabrielle Bompard in a sensational 1889 murder trial , calling in Georges Gilles de la Tourette as an expert witness on hypnotism . He also defended the fraudster Thérèse Humbert , and the serial child killer Jeanne Weber , twice . In 1903 a Paris correspondent for the New York Times described him as `` an exceptionally successful lawyer ... the favorite advocate of the criminal classes ( who ) has already saved innumerable heads from the guillotine '' .

query: The Dodo has been depicted with a naked head.

positive: Dodo The dodo ( Raphus cucullatus ) is an extinct flightless bird that was endemic to the island of Mauritius , east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean . The dodo 's closest genetic relative was the also extinct Rodrigues solitaire , the two forming the subfamily Raphinae of the family of pigeons and doves . The closest living relative of the dodo is the Nicobar pigeon . A white dodo was once thought to have existed on the nearby island of Réunion , but this is now thought to have been confusion based on the Réunion ibis and paintings of white dodos .   Subfossil remains show the dodo was about 1 m tall and may have weighed 10.6 - . The dodo 's appearance in life is evidenced only by drawings , paintings , and written accounts from the 17th century . Because these vary considerably , and because only some illustrations are known to have been drawn from live specimens , its exact appearance in life remains unresolved , and little is known about its behaviour . Though the dodo has historically been considered fat and clumsy , it is now thought to have been well-adapted for its ecosystem . It has been depicted with brownish-grey plumage , yellow feet , a tuft of tail feathers , a grey , naked head , and a black , yellow , and green beak . It used gizzard stones to help digest its food , which is thought to have included fruits , and its main habitat is believed to have been the woods in the drier coastal areas of Mauritius . One account states its clutch consisted of a single egg . It is presumed that the dodo became flightless because of the ready availability of abundant food sources and a relative absence of predators on Mauritius .   The first recorded mention of the dodo was by Dutch sailors in 1598 . In the following years , the bird was hunted by sailors and invasive species , while its habitat was being destroyed . The last widely accepted sighting of a dodo was in 1662 . Its extinction was not immediately noticed , and some considered it to be a mythical creature . In the 19th century , research was conducted on a small quantity of remains of four specimens that had been brought to Europe in the early 17th century . Among these is a dried head , the only soft tissue of the dodo that remains today . Since then , a large amount of subfossil material has been collected on Mauritius , mostly from the Mare aux Songes swamp . The extinction of the dodo within less than a century of its discovery called attention to the previously unrecognised problem of human involvement in the disappearance of entire species . The dodo achieved widespread recognition from its role in the story of Alice 's Adventures in Wonderland , and it has since become a fixture in popular culture , often as a symbol of extinction and obsolescence .

negative: Theresa: The Body of Christ Teresa , el cuerpo de Cristo ( Theresa : The Body of Christ ) is a 2007 biopic written and directed by Ray Loriga and starring Paz Vega as the title character , Saint Teresa of Ávila .

negative: Dodo of Cons Dodo of Cons ( Dudo of Konz-Saarburg ) ( fl . 1096 ) , lord of Cons-la-Grandville , a nobleman from the Lotharingian territories , son of Adelon ( Adelo ) de Cons . Dodo was originally from Konz , above Trier at the confluence of the Moselle and Sauer rivers . Dodo had taken the cross and joined in the First Crusade and was lucky enough to return unscathed along with his wife , a countess of Chiny .   Cons-la-Grandville was a commune of Meurthe-et-Moselle in what is now northeastern France on the river Chiers . Dodo was a benefactor of the abbey of Saint-Hubert to which he donated the priory of St. Michael . His father , Adelo was master of the castle of Dun on the Meuse which had been given to the church of Verdun by Emperor Henry IV . On Adelo 's death his lands were divided between his sons Walter , who received Dun , and Dodo who received Cons .   Dodo was a crusader who was one of the many leading knights from Walloon and the Lotharingian territories that joined the army of Godfrey of Bouillon in the First Crusade . These included Godfrey 's brothers and their cousin Baldwin of Le Bourg , Baldwin II , Count of Hainaut , Rainald ( or Reinhard ) , Count of Toul , Warner , Count of Grez , Baldwin of Stavelot , Peter of Stenay , and the brothers Henry and Godfrey of Esch . Dodo was known to have been at the siege of Nicaea in 1097 .   Dodo married Hadvide of Chiny , daughter of Arnold I , Count of Chiny . Murray identifies her as `` Hadwida , daughter of Arnulf II of Chiny '' but such different spellings are common in historical documents . The confusion about the numbering is rampant among the counts of Chiny and Looz , especially once the countships merged . Even before that , Arnold I and Arnold II , who were counts of Looz before the merger with the counts of Chiny , were often confused with each other . Dodo and Hadvide are not known to have had any children , although a son named Quino has been attributed to Dodo .   Hadvide accompanied her husband on the First Crusade . It is unclear what her role was during the crusade , but she did procure a complete set of vestments in black cloth and gold trim , and a chalice made of gold and adorned with jewels . These were donated to the monks of St. Hubert-en-Ardenne , named in honor of Hubert , Bishop of Liege , patron of archers , dogs , mathematicians and metal workers . Many of the original places of worship still exist at St. Hubert . The relic , which dates to the twelfth century , may include elements of this chalice . The vestments are not known to have survived .

negative: Sideroxylon grandiflorum Sideroxylon grandiflorum , known as tambalacoque or dodo tree , is a long-lived tree in the family Sapotaceae , endemic to Mauritius . It is valued for its timber .   The Sideroxylon grandiflorum fruit is analogous to the peach . They are both termed drupes because both have a hard endocarp , or pit , surrounding the seed , with the endocarp naturally splitting along a fracture line during germination .   In 1973 , it was thought that this species was dying out . There were supposedly only 13 specimens left , all estimated to be about 300 years old . The true age could not be determined because tambalacoque has no growth rings . Stanley Temple hypothesized that the dodo , which became extinct in the 17th century , ate tambalacoque fruits , and only by passing through the digestive tract of the dodo could the seeds germinate . Temple ( 1977 ) force-fed seventeen tambalacoque fruits to wild turkeys . Seven of the fruits were crushed by the bird 's gizzard . The remaining ten were either regurgitated or passed with the bird 's feces . Temple planted the remaining ten fruits and three germinated . Temple did not try to germinate any seeds from control fruits not fed to turkeys so the effect of feeding fruits to turkeys was unclear . Reports made on tambalacoque seed germination by Hill ( 1941 ) and King ( 1946 ) found the seeds germinated without abrading .   Temple 's hypothesis that the tree required the dodo has been contested . Others have suggested the decline of the tree was exaggerated , or that other extinct animals may also have been distributing the seeds , such as tortoises , fruit bats or the broad-billed parrot . Wendy Strahm and Anthony Cheke , two experts in Mascarene ecology , claim that while a rare tree , it has germinated since the demise of the dodo and numbers a few hundred , not 13 . The difference in numbers is because young trees are not distinct in appearance and may easily be confused with similar species . The decline of the tree may possibly be due to introduction of domestic pigs and crab-eating macaques and competition with introduced plants . Catling ( 2001 ) in a summary cites Owadally and Temple ( 1979 ) , and Witmer ( 1991 ) . Hershey ( 2004 ) reviewed the flaws in Temple 's dodo-tambalacoque hypothesis .   In 2004 , Botanical Society of America 's Plant Science Bulletin disputed Dr. Temple 's research as flawed which published evidence as to why the dodo 's extinction did not directly cause the increasing disappearance of young trees including suggestion that tortoises would have been more likely to disperse the seeds than dodo hence discrediting Temple 's view as to the dodo and the tree 's sole survival relationship .   To aid the seed in germination , botanists now use turkeys and gem polishers to erode the endocarp to allow germination . This tree is highly valued for its wood in Mauritius , which has led some foresters to scrape the pits by hand to make them sprout and grow .
