LAPITHAE , a mythical See also:race, whose See also:home was in See also:Thessaly in the valley of the Peneus. The genealogies make them a kindred race with the See also:Centaurs, their See also:- KING

king Peirithoiis being the son, and the Centaurs the grandchildren (or sons) of Ixion. The best-known legends with which they are connected are those of Ixion (q.v.) and the See also:battle with the Centaurs (q.v.). A well-known Lapith was Caeneus, said to have been originally a girl named Caenis, the favourite of See also:Poseidon, who changed her into a See also:man and made her invulnerable (See also:Ovid, Metam. xii. 146 ff). In the Centaur battle, having been crushed by rocks and trunks of trees, he was changed into a See also:bird; or he disappeared into the depths of the See also:earth unharmed. According to some, the Lapithae are representatives of the giants of See also:fable, or See also:spirits of the See also:storm; according to others, they are a semi-legendary; semi-See also:historical race, like the Myrmidons and other Thessalian tribes. The See also:Greek sculptors of the school of See also:Pheidias conceived of the battle of the Lapithae and Centaurs as a struggle between mankindand mischievous monsters, and symbolical of the See also:great conflict between the Greeks and Persians. See also:Sidney See also:Colvin (Journ. Hellen. See also:Stud. i. 64) explains it as a contest of the See also:physical See also:powers of nature, and the mythical expression of the terrible effects of swollen See also:waters.
LA See also:PLACE (See also:Lat. Placaeus), JOSUE DE (16o6 ?—1665), See also:French See also:Protestant divine, was See also:born in See also:Brittany. He studied and after-wards taught See also:philosophy at See also:Saumur. In 1625 he became pastor of the Reformed See also:- CHURCH

Louis Cappell. In 164o he published a See also:work, Theses theologicae de See also:state hominis lapsi ante See also:graham, which was looked upon with some suspicion as containing liberal ideas about the See also:doctrine of See also:original See also:sin. The view that the original sin of See also:Adam was not imputed to his descendants was condemned at the See also:synod of Charenton (1645), without See also:special reference being made to La Place, whose position perhaps was not quite clear. As a See also:matter of fact La Place distinguished between a See also:direct and indirect imputation, and after his See also:death his views, as well as those of Amyraut, were rejected in the See also:Formula consensus of 1675. He died on the 17th of See also:August 1665.
La Place's See also:defence was published with the See also:title Disputaliones academicae (3 vols., 1649–1651; and again in 1665); his work De imputatione primi peccati Adami in 1655. A collected edition of his See also:works appeared at See also:Franeker in 1699, and at Aubencit in 17o2.
