A 'harem' is not a bordello, seraglio or brothel, but refers to the women's quarters, usually in a polygynous household, which are forbidden to men. It originated in the Near East and is typically associated in the Western world with the Ottoman Empire. Female seclusion in Islam is emphasized to the extent that any unlawful breaking into that privacy is haram ie, 'forbidden'. A Muslim harem does not necessarily consist solely of women with whom the head of the household has sexual relations (wives and concubines), but also their young offspring, other female relatives or odalisques, which are the concubines' servants. The harem may either be a palatial complex, as in Romantic tales, in which case it includes staff (women and eunuchs), or simply their quarters, in the Ottoman tradition separated from the men's selamlik. A hammam is a common bath house.

The Good Samaritan by 1853 Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps French This picture illustrates the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, who comes to the aid of a wounded man. Having dressed the mans wounds, the Samaritan is shown carrying him to an inn, where he would pay for the mans care. The present version was admired by Delacroix in 1853, as Decamps was preparing to close up his Paris studio and retire to Fontainebleau. Its thickly impasted surface is characteristic of Decampss late manner, in which subjects of profound moral import are treated with formal austerity.. The Good Samaritan 436115

This 1880s illustration accompanied a book on Homer and his epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey. It shows the scene in the Odyssey when Penelope is shown welcoming Odysseus (also called Ulysses) home after he has rid the palace of the suitors and made himself known to her.

Odysseus spent 10 years fighting against the Trojans (Trojan War said to have been around 1184 B.C.) and then another 10 years trying to get back home.
