'''''Theater of the Mind''''' is the sixth upcoming [[studio album]] by [[United States|American]] rapper [[Ludacris]]. It is scheduled to be released on November 25, 2008.<ref>[http://www.defjam.com/site/artist_news.php?artist_id=308&news_id=106324 Ludacris official website]</ref>
'''Ischia''' is a [[volcanic]] [[island]] in the [[Tyrrhenian Sea]], at the northern end of the [[Gulf of Naples]]. The roughly trapezoidal island lies 17.5 miles from [[Naples]] and measures around 10 km East to West and 7 km North to South with a 34 km coastline and a surface area of 46.3 [[Square kilometer|km<sup>2</sup>]]. It is almost entirely mountainous with the highest peak being volcanic Mt. Epomeo at 788 meters: the volcano was active in Classical times <ref>''Princeton Encyclopedia of Classical Sites''</ref>. Population: nearly 58.000 people.


==Background==
'''Ischia''' is also the principal city (pop.17,256) of the island, divided into Ischia Ponte and Ischia Porto. Its main industry is [[tourism]], centering on thermal parks that cater mostly to [[European]] and [[Asian]] tourist clients eager to enjoy the fruits of the island's natural [[volcano|volcanic]] activity and highly nutritious volcanic soil.
The album was slated for release on October 21, but was pushed back to November 25. In April 2008, a song named "Stay Together" appeared on xxlmag.com;<ref>[http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=20680 Ludacris "Stay Together" audio.]</ref> supposedly from the new album. [[DJ Toomp]] has also worked on this album.<ref>[http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=19317 DJ Toomp: Grammy Family]. Accessed July 6, 2008.</ref> [[T.I.]] will also be appearing on a track called "Wish You Would".<ref name=wishyouwouldmtv>[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1592463/20080808/ludacris.jhtml Ludacris, T.I. 'Wish You Would' Believe There's No Beef Between Them.] Accessed August 8, 2008.</ref>


The first single "[[What Them Girls Like]]" was released on August 7, 2008. The single "co-stars" [[Chris Brown (entertainer)|Chris Brown]] and [[Sean Garrett]].
==The name==
[[Virgil]] poetically referred to it as ''Inarime'' and still later as ''Arime''<ref> His poetical allusion was apparently to the mention in ''[[Iliad]]'' (ii.783) of [[Typhoeus]] being chained down ''ein Arimois''</ref> [[Martianus Capella]] followed Virgil in this allusive name, which was never in common circulation: the [[Ancient Rome|Romans]] called it ''Aenaria'', the Greeks, ''Pithekoussai'' <ref>The plural likely indicated [[Procida]] as well.</ref>. "[[Pliny the Elder|Pliny]] rightly derives the Greek name from the local ceramic clay deposits, not from ''pithekos'' (ape); he explains the Latin name as connected with Aeneas' beach-head" (''Princeton Encyclopedia'') The current name appears for the first time in a letter from [[Pope Leo III]] to [[Charlemagne]] in 813 (''iscla'' from ''insula'') though there is an argument made for a [[Semitic]] origin in ''I-schra'', "black island".


The second single "[[Wish You Would]]" was released on September 2, 2008. The single "co-stars" T.I.
==History==
===Ancient times===
An acropolis site of the Monte Vico area was inhabited from the [[Bronze Age]], as [[Mycenaean]] and Iron Age pottery attest. [[Euboea]]n Greeks from Eretria and Chalkis arrived in the [[8th century BC]] to establish an [[emporium]] for trade with the [[Etruscans]] of the mainland. Because of its fine harbor, the settlement of Pithecusae became successful through trade in iron and with mainland Italy; at its peak, Pithecusae was home to about 10,000 people.


A video for the song "Undisputed" has been made and first shown on the BET Network. The video features boxer [[Floyd Mayweather, Jr.]] and 6-year old boxer Pretty Boy Bam Bam.<ref name=undisputed>ATLien (September 8, 2008). [http://straightfromthea.com/2008/09/08/video-ludacris-vs-a-6-year-old Video ~ Ludacris vs. a 6 Year Old] ''Straight From the A''. Accessed September 8, 2008</ref>
The ceramic Euboean artifact inscribed with a reference to "[[Nestor's cup]]" was discovered in a grave on the island in 1953. Engraved upon the cup are a few lines written in the [[Cumae alphabet]]. Dating from c. 730 BC, it is the oldest written reference to the ''[[Iliad]]'' and may be the earliest extant precursor to the [[Latin alphabet]].


==Concept==
In the sixth century the earliest Greek colony on the mainland was founded from here, on the coast of [[Campania]] at [[Cumae]], likely to have been named for the Euboean city of [[Cuma]], possibly by settlers who fled volcanic activity. In [[474 BC]] [[Hiero I of Syracuse]] came to the aid of the Cumaeans against the [[Etruscans]] and defeated them on the sea. He occupied Ischia and the surrounding [[Parthenopean]] islands and left behind a garrison to build a fortress before the city of Ischia itself. This was still extant in the [[Middle Ages]], but the original garrison fled before the eruptions of [[470 BC]] and the island was taken over by Neapolitans.
Ludacris says the album is [[theatre|theatrical]], conceptual-wise. Every song you hear sounds like a [[scene (film)|scene]] from a [[film|movie]].<ref name=rapup>(July 16, 2008).

==''The Preview''==
===Christian era until 1500===
Ludacris released a "Gangsta Grillz" mixtape with [[DJ Drama]] called ''[[The Preview]]''. The mixtape was released as a download on July 28, 2008.
In [[6|AD 6]] [[Augustus]] restored the island to Naples in exchange for [[Capri]]. Ischia suffered from the [[barbarian]] invasions, being taken first by the [[Heruli]] then by the [[Ostrogoths]], being ultimately absorbed into the [[Eastern Roman Empire]]. The Byzantines gave the island over to Naples in [[588]] and by [[661]] it was being administered by a [[Count]] liege to the [[Duke]] of Naples. The area was devastated by the [[Saracens]] in [[813]] and [[847]]; in [[1004]] it was occupied by [[Henry II of Germany]]; the [[Normans|Norman]] [[Roger II of Sicily]] took it in [[1130]]; the island was raided by the [[Pisans]] in [[1135]] and [[1137]] and subsequently fell under the [[Suebi]] and then [[Angevin]] rule. After the [[Sicilian Vespers]] in [[1282]], the island rebelled, recognizing [[Peter III of Aragon]], but was retaken by the Angevins the following year. It was conquered in [[1284]] by the forces of Aragon and [[Charles II of Naples|Charles II]] d'[[Anjou]] was unable to successfully retake it until [[1299]].
As a consequence of the island's last eruption, the population fled to [[Baiae|Baia]] where they remained for 4 years. In [[1320]] [[Robert of Anjou]] and his wife [[Sancia]] visited the island and were hosted by [[Cesare Sterlich]], sent by Charles II from the [[Holy See]] to govern the island in [[1306]] and was, by this time, nearly 100 years of age.


==Confirmed tracks==
Ischia suffered greatly in the struggles of the Angevin-Durazzan period. It was taken by [[Carlo Durazzo]] in [[1382]], retaken by [[Louis II of Anjou]] in [[1385]] and captured yet again by [[Ladislav Durazzo]] in [[1386]]; it was sacked by the fleet of the [[Antipope John XXIII]] under the command of Gaspare Cossa in [[1410]] only to be retaken by Ladislav the following year. In 1422 [[Joan II]] gave the island to her adoptive son [[Alfonso V of Aragon]], though, when he fell into disgrace, she retook it with the help of [[Genoa]] in [[1424]]. In [[1438]] Alfonso reoccupied the castle, kicking out all the men and proclaiming it a [[Castile|Castilian]] [[colony]] to whom he married the wives and daughters of the expelled. He set about building a bridge linking the castle to the rest of the island and he carved out a large gallery, both of which are still to be seen today. In [[1442]] he gave the island to one of his favorites, [[Lucretia d'Alagno]], who in turn entrusted the island's governance to her brother-in-law, [[Giovanni Torella]]. Upon the death of Alfonso in 1458, they returned the island to the Angevin side. [[Ferdinand I of Naples]] ordered Alessandro [[Sforza]] to chase Torella out of the castle and gave the island over, in [[1462]], to Garceraldo Requesens. In [[1464]], after a brief Torellan insurrection, Marino Caracciolo was set up as governor.

In February of [[1495]], with the arrival of [[Charles VIII of France|Charles VIII]], [[Ferdinand II]] landed on the island and took possession of the castle, and, after having killed the disloyal [[castellan]] Giusto di Candida with his own hands, left the island under the control of Innico [[D'Avalos]], [[Marquis]] of [[Pescara]] and [[del Vasto]], who ably defended the place form the French [[flotilla]]. With him came his sister Costanza and through them they founded the D'Avalos dynasty which would last on the island into the [[18th century|1700]]'s.

Throughout the [[fifteenth century]], the island suffered the incursions of [[pirate]]s and [[Barbary]] [[privateers]] - in 1543 and 1544 [[Khair ad Din]], called [[Barbarossa]], laid waste to the island, taking 4,000 prisoners in the process. In 1548 and 1552 Ischia was beset by his successor [[Dragut Rais]]. With the increasing rarity and diminishing severity of the piratical attacks later in the century and the construction of better defenses, the islanders began to venture out of the castle and it was then that the historic center of the town of Ischia was begun. Even so many inhabitants still ended up slaves to the pirates, the last known being taken in 1796.

With the extinction of the D'Avalos line in 1729, the island reverted to state property. In March, 1734 it was taken by the [[Bourbons]] and administered by a royal governor seated within the castle. The island participated in the short-lived [[Republic of Naples]] starting in March, 1799 but by [[April 3]], [[Commodore Trowbridge]]- under the command of [[Lord Nelson]] had put down the revolt on Ischia as well as on neighboring [[Procida]]. By decree of the governor, many of the rebels were hung in a sqaure on Procida now called Piazza dei martiri (Square of the Martyrs). Among these was [[Francesco Buonocore]] who had received the island to administer from the French [[Championnet]] in Naples. On [[February 13]], [[1806]], the island was occupied by the French and on the 24th was unsuccessfully attacked by the English.

In 1948, American author [[Truman Capote]] stayed in room number 3 in the Pensione Lustro in the town of Forio on the island. He wrote an essay about his stay there, which later appeared in ''Local Color'', published in 1950 by [[Random House]].
