There is an old saying, that after Epaminondas nothing was ever the same again. In this thesis I will focus on three questions: "Epaminondas the man." Who was he? "Epaminondas the general." How did he change the technique of warfare that made it possible to beat the Spartans? "Epaminondas, founder of cities and wall-builder." How did he build the walls around the cities he initiated, that made them resist enemy attacks for many years to come?While seeking the answers to yhese questions I will make a contextual analysis to get the historical background to all the phenomina involved..

I den här uppsatsen undersöks eddadikten Vôluspá så som den citeras i en handskrift av Snorre Sturlassons Edda, nämligen Codex Upsaliensis eller Uppsalaeddan. Dock diskuteras inte dvärgnamnen i stroferna 10, 11?13 samt 15?16. Uppsatsen utgår från ett nyFilologiskt perspektiv, där den enskilda handskriften tillmäts ett egenvärde utan att bedömas i förhållande till ett tänkt originalverk. Fokus ligger på de skrivningar där Uppsalaeddan och inte fler än hälften av samtliga diskuterade handskrifter avviker från de övriga.

This essay describes my work as a director in a specialized orientation within psychodrama, surrealistic psychodrama. Using the language and performance techniques of theater and under the guidance of a director, psychodrama creates an improvised narrative or story. The essay describes several dramas I have directed, reflecting on my actions and choices as a director and group leader. I examine whether my working method has allowed me to be spontaneous and creative, which I believe the example of "The dangerous bear" demonstrates. The process enabled me to establish trust and receptivity so that a newly constituted group dared to investigate conflicts in symbolic ways associated with illness and death.
