Biography Relatively little is known for certain about Machiavelli's early life in comparison with many important figures of the Italian Renaissance (the following section draws on Capponi 2010 and Vivanti 2013) He was born 3 May 1469 in Florence and at a young age became a pupil of a renowned Latin teacher, Paolo da Ronciglione.
It is speculated that he attended the University of Florence, and even a cursory glance at his corpus reveals that he received an excellent humanist education. It is only with his entrance into public view, with his appointment as the Second Chancellor of the Republic of Florence, however, that we begin to acquire a full and accurate picture of his life. For the next fourteen years, Machiavelli engaged in a flurry of diplomatic activity on behalf of Florence, travelling to the major centers of Italy as well as to the royal court of France and to the imperial curia of Maximilian. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Jeremy Mynott on Birdwatching | FiveBooks | FiveBooks. So, finally, you’ve chosen something written as long ago as 414 BC. Yes, this is a play called The Birds, written by the Greek comic playwright Aristophanes, who lived in the 5th century BC.
He wrote this play in the middle of the great war that was then going on between Athens and Sparta, and it’s about how the birds occupied a middle kingdom between earth and heaven and negotiated deals between the two realms. They are approached by two Athenians, who were fed up with high taxes and bureaucracy in the city and wanted to get a bit of an escape from it. So they went to the birds, as a guide to a better way of life. The birds are being used in an allegorical way, of course. It’s not only a very amusing story, it’s the first example of how birds can become symbols for us, and birds do become symbols for us in all sorts of ways: you’ve only got to think, in America, of the national bird, the bald eagle. And why does Aristophanes choose birds, do you think? Short stories at east of the web.
