![]() I scored it 18++, and I see that Jancis was half a point ahead of me when she tasted it earlier this year (see Opus goes wild, which also reveals more about their winemaking philosophy). There is an impeccability to the fruit that sets such wines apart. It was like Pauillac in seductive soft focus: all the sun-kissed richness of Napa with all the savoury formality of Bordeaux. I tasted the newly released 2016 in Singapore in September and the impression was instant. The first is the quality of the wine itself. But surely readers of the world's best wine website are at least open to persuasion that Opus One is worth the asking price? Indeed, for the majority of British wine drinkers, anything above the average bottle price of around £6 must seem excessive. Since Jancis recently asked if wine is becoming a luxury, observing that 'it is becoming increasingly difficult to find wines of real interest under £25 a bottle', a typically well-informed and thoughtful debate has been running on our Members' forum, citing many examples of the way prices for fine wine have increased so dramatically in recent years.įor many people, £300 for a bottle of wine is absurdly expensive, offensive even. ![]() ![]() Opus One, the famous Californian Cabernet, is neither in need of greater exposure nor, at £300 per bottle, of interest to the bargain hunter. Most wines of the week are chosen with the bargain hunter in mind, bringing lesser-known bottles to the attention of those who would most appreciate them. If value is relative, then Opus One most definitely qualifies (as does a Sonoma Zinfandel at a somewhat lower price).įrom $299, €329.90, £296.68, SG$450 and widely available around the world. They can be clipped in very quickly and there is far less work to do for clean cable management. The cable channels and combs are designed for 4mm sleeved cables. The fill port is at the highest point on the back for the case and the drain point at the lowest point. The reservoir was designed to remove air as quickly as possible making the loop easier to fill. The pump top was designed for the D5 pump, maximizing flow to and from the distribution plate. The integrated loop routes in Spectre allow for more flow than 16mm tubes. This meant that we could focus more on optimization than would normally be possible. With the integration we did not just develop a case, we also had to develop all the integrated components. For Spectres integration the position of each integrated port and cable routing hole was carefully chosen based on statistics and our experience. Theoretically the more integration the less compatibility. The pump and reservoir combo, less fittings, less tube, no cable combs, or cable management components. These are components you do not have to purchase for your build. Also, less fittings and tube are needed.Ĭable management is also quicker, just clip your cables into the integrated cable combs and they are all perfectly aligned.Ī large portion of the case cost is due to the integration. With the pump and reservoir combo and roughly half of the loop integrated there is less assembly to be done. 3x 8pin EPS on the left side of motherboard and up to two above the 24pin.

Note: Spectre 3.0 Ardus is fully compatible with the Spectre 3.0 PowerBoard and Spectre 3.0 Elite. The PSU Side and Front Shrouds both have a different design with far more detail and the PSU Front Shroud has an integrated ARGB LED strip There is a glowing logo on the back of the distribution plate. The distribution plate has twice the reservoir volume of the stock Spectre 3.0. The case can be used without the black frosted rear layer, and then it becomes a unique dark version of Spectre 3.0. These sections can be laser etched, painted, and we will be releasing different colored sets. ![]() The frosted black layer on the back of the distribution plate is divided into four separate pieces which can be removed to be modified. It is also inspired by fighter aircraft such as the F22, F35 and others. The original theme idea for Ardus was inspired by the spacecraft from the 2021 Dune film. Spectre 3.0 Ardus has a unique distribution plate with 4 layers, a front clear layer, then a black layer, then a grey tinted layer and then a black frosted layer on the back. ![]() ![]() Some of my main historical interests include ancient religion, mythology, and folklore gender and sexuality ethnicity and interactions between Greek cultures and cultures they viewed as foreign. Hello! I am an aspiring historian mainly interested in ancient Greek cultural and social history. At best, what Diodoros says here may be considered a folk etymology. Indeed, the word that Diodoros himself uses to refer to a hoplite’s shield is ἀσπίς, not ὅπλον. What Diodoros says here, however, is clearly wrong, considering how the word ὅπλον is actually used in Classical Greek. After a trial of the new shield its easy manipulation secured its adoption, and the infantry who had formerly been called ‘hoplites’ because of their heavy shield, then had their name changed to ‘peltasts’ from the light pelta they carried.” “For instance, the Greeks were using shields which were large and consequently difficult to handle these he discarded and made small oval ones of moderate size, thus successfully achieving both objects, to furnish the body with adequate cover and to enable the user of the small shield, on account of its lightness, to be completely free in his movements. 30 BC), who writes in his Library 15.44, as translated by C. Lazenby and Whitehead note in their article that the claim that hoplites took their name from their shield seems to originate from the Greek historian Diodoros Sikeliotes (lived c. 475 BC showing a Greek hoplite with his armor, his spear, and his shield Thus, the word literally means “one who bears equipment.”ĪBOVE: Tondo from an Attic red-figure kylix dated to between c. Lazenby and David Whitehead convincingly argue in their 1996 article “The Myth of the Hoplite’s Hoplon,” the word ὁπλίτης comes not solely from the hoplite’s shield, but rather from his entire panoply, including his armor, his shield, and his spear. The normal Greek word for the kind of large, round, wooden shield that was usually carried by hoplites is actually ἀσπίς ( aspís), which, obviously, sounds nothing like the word ὁπλίτης.Īs J. It can even, in some contexts, be used to refer to a penis. It is often claimed that ὅπλον means “shield,” but it is actually an extremely vague term that literally just means “tool” or “piece of equipment.” This word can be used in Greek to refer to any kind of shield, armor, or weapon, but it can also refer to tools used for other things, like sailing a ship. The English word hoplite is derived from the Greek first-declension masculine noun ὁπλίτης ( hoplítēs), which is, in turn, derived from the Greek second-declension neuter noun ὅπλον ( hóplon). Unfortunately, despite being widely repeated, this claim is not true.ĪBOVE: Detail of the Chigi Vase, dated to the seventh century BC, depicting Greek hoplite warriors The name ‘hoplite’ comes from their shield which they called the ‘hoplon.’” “The main Greek soldier was the foot soldier called a ‘hoplite.’ Hoplites carried large shields and long spears. Likewise, an article on the website Ducksters titled “Ancient Greece: Soldiers and War” claims: They got their name because the shield that they carried was called a hoplon.” These warriors would carry long shields and spears. “The Greek soldier that was a foot soldier was called a hoplite. For instance, an article on the website History for Kids titled “Ancient Greek Warriors” claims: The assertion that Greek hoplites derive their name from their shields seems to be less common in works written for adults, but it is extremely widespread in works written for children. In reality, the word hoplon refers not only to the hoplite’s shield, but to all his equipment collectively. It is commonly stated that ancient Greek hoplites are named after the kind of large, round, wooden shield they carried, which was supposedly known as a hoplon. |
