Napoleon Was Not Short
There is a joke the world has been laughing at for over two hundred years. It goes something like this: Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the most brilliant military minds in human history, Emperor of France, conqueror of Europe — was a tiny, furious little man with a God complex and something to prove.

The Thorny Road of Honor
An old story yet lives of the "Thorny Road of Honor," of a marksman, who indeed attained to rank and office, but only after a lifelong and weary strife against difficulties. Who has not, in reading this story, thought of his own strife, and of his own numerous "difficulties?" The story is very closely akin to reality; but still it has its harmonious explanation here on earth, while reality often points beyond the confines of life to the regions of eternity. The history of the world is like a magic lantern that displays to us, in light pictures upon the dark ground of the present, how the benefactors of mankind, the martyrs of genius, wandered along the thorny road of honor.

Brigid vs Saint Brigid: Where myth and History Meet
Few figures in Irish tradition are as fascinating as Brigid. She appears both as a goddess in pre-Christian mythology and as one of Ireland’s most beloved Christian saints. Because of this, Brigid stands at a unique meeting point between myth and history, religion and folklore, old belief and newer devotion. She is one of the clearest examples of how Irish culture preserved older sacred ideas even as the religious world around them changed.

Alexander the Great's sexuality
We called him Great. We built statues of him. Named cities after him — over twenty of them, including one he named after his horse. We made him the subject of Hollywood epics, military textbooks, and philosophy lectures. Alexander of Macedon is perhaps the most celebrated conqueror in human history, a man who by the age of 32 had carved out an empire stretching from Greece to the edges of modern-day India.

THE ORIGIN OF LIFE ON EARTH
The origin of life on Earth stands as one of the great mysteries of science. Various answers have been proposed, all of which remain unverified. To find out if we are alone in the galaxy, we will need to better understand what geochemical conditions nurtured the first life forms. What water, chemistry and temperature cycles fostered the chemical reactions that allowed life to emerge on our planet? Because life arose in the largely unknown surface conditions of Earth’s early history, answering these and other questions remains a challenge.

What If Cleopatra Could Speak Back?: Reclaiming a Queen from Myth, Empire, and Misinterpretation.
Cleopatra is one of those rare historical figures who may never stay in one thing. She has been a lover, a seductress, a strategist, a tragedy, a political threat, and a cinematic icon. Every era has reshaped her into something it needed her to be. But very few versions ever let her exist as a person–thinking, remembering, doubting, and choosing.

Cleopatra: History and myths of a queen
We think we know her. We've seen her in the movies — draped in gold, dark-lined eyes, impossibly beautiful, luring powerful men into her bed and bending empires to her will. Elizabeth Taylor played her. Countless novels have romanticised her. Halloween costumes have reduced her to a silhouette. And for centuries, the world has told the story of Cleopatra the seductress — the dangerous woman who brought great men to ruin.
