Originally a Danish prince, George was only 17 years old when he was elected King by the Greek National Assembly, which had deposed the former King Otto.His nomination was both suggested and supported by the Great Powers (the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Second French Empire and the Russian Empire).As the first monarch of the new Greek dynasty, his 50-year reign (the longest in modern Greek history) was characterized by territorial gains as Greece established its place in pre-World War I Europe.Two weeks short of the fiftieth anniversary of his accession, and during the First Balkan War, he was assassinated. In sharp contrast to his own reign, the reigns of his successors would prove short and insecure.============================ Thetis was the nymph mother of the Trojan War hero ACHILLES, and one of the 50 Nereid daughters of Nereus (son of Gaia [Earth] and Pontos [Sea], whom Hercules seizes in order to extract information pertinent to his labors) and Doris (daughter of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys). She might not have been Achilles' mother, since the king of the Greek gods, Zeus (Dias), had been wooing her, but a prophecy that the son would be greater than the father made Zeus give her up. Instead, Thetis married a mortal king Peleus. They produced a son, Achilles, whom Thetis tried to make immortal. She dipped her infant son into the River Styx, holding him by the ankle, according to tradition. This made him invulnerable, except at the one weak spot where Thetis had held him. Peleus didn't agree with the treatment and Thetis left him. Thetis shows up in Homer's Iliad where she offers to get Achilles a new and better suit of armor and shield from the blacksmith of the gods, Hephaestus. Hephaestus was in her debt because Thetis and her sisters had cared for him when Hera threw him down from Olympus.============================Condition:See the scan (picture), shape your own opinion.You will take that you see in photographs of sale.
