  • Aphrodite on a Ladder
    APHRODITE ON A LADDER (PLATES 17-19) N JULY OF 1981, in Byzantinelevels above and west of what was soonto be identified as the Stoa Poikile, the excavatorsof the Athenian Agora found two joining fragmentsof a Classical votive relief (P1. 17:a).1 The relief is framed by simple moldings: taenia and ovolo at top and a plain band at the right side. In the pictorial field is preservedthe head of a young woman carved in low relief. She gazes down to the left at a vessel raised in her right hand. Her head is coveredby a short veil. Above and behind the veil are two rungs and the vertical supports of a ladder whose upper end disappearsbehind the frame. Although frag- mentary and weathered, the relief provides a precious document for the study of Classical relief sculpture, and its unusual iconographygives a valuable clue to the identity of one of the deities worshiped in the area. Most of the figure'sprofile is broken away, but the carefully carvedlines of the lips and eye show that the sculptor took pains to give her delicate features. Her hair, where it ap- pears below the veil, is mostly worn away. Along the side of her face appear waves of hair with a scallopedcontour. No trace of her ear is preserved.It was either very small or hidden beneath her hair. Folds of the veil cross her head in bifurcating linear patterns of rounded ridges. Below her hair two folds fall down along her neck, while others, from the hidden right side of her head, blow out behind in sweeping curves.

  • Designing Women: Aristophanes' Lysistrata
    Aristophanes’ Lysistrata 37 DESIGNING WOMEN: ARISTOPHANES’ LYSISTRATA AND THE “HETAIRIZATION” OF THE GREEK WIFE* SARAH CULPEPPER STROUP INTRODUCTION Aristophanes’ Lysistrata is a comedy of political and sexual negotiation and of what happens when complementary but distinct spheres of social interaction—the polis and the oikos, the public and the private—are torn apart and turned inside-out by protracted and seemingly ineluctable warfare. Produced, most probably, at the Lenaia of 411,1 this unusually topical drama offers an alluring reversal of the more standard comic representation of female sexuality as implicitly destructive to the civic body, forging in its place a fantasy world in which strictly proscribed sexual negotiation might * Various drafts of this article have benefited greatly from the criticisms and advice of numerous readers. I am indebted to, among others, Ruby Blondell, Mary LeBlanc, and two especially helpful anonymous readers for Arethusa. Thanks are due also to Jeffrey Henderson and Christopher Faraone, who forwarded to me manuscript versions of their own work on the topic, and to Andrew Stewart and Christopher Hallet, for their generous help with my use of the visual material. Any errors that remain are my own and should not be credited to my kind and conscientious readers. 1 A secure dating for this drama is difficult. As Henderson 1987.xv–xviii argues, however, the internal evidence of the play—the attitudes, assumptions, and arguments of the characters—in addition to the evidence given in the eighth book of Thukydides (though admittedly problematic in chronology at some places) will support a date of 411. For fuller discussions of dating, see Sommerstein 1977 and Westlake 1980.

  • Women in Aristophanes' Lysistrata
    Courtesans Reconsidered: Women in Aristophanes’ Lysistrata LAURA MCCLURE University of Wisconsin [email protected] Scholarship on Aristophanes’ Lysistrata over the last three decades has almost without exception supported the view that the play models its portrayal of the sex-striking wives on hetaeras. Henderson first proposed that the teasing delay tactics of Myrrhine in the seduction scene resemble those of a courtesan1. He subsequently hypothesizes that the play, with its emphasis on female bibulousness, sexual appetites, adornment and depilation, may have been based on the hetaera comedy of Pherecrates2. 1 — Henderson 1987: 177 concludes that her «skillful wheedling, teasing, and coquettishness were surely more characteristic of hetairai than of wives» and further views Cinesias as «a customer bargaining with a bawd for a girl’s services». He believes the original audience would have identified the scene as such due to their familiarity with courtesans. However, Dover 1972: 160 observes that the play conspicuously avoids any mention of non-marital sex, while Stroup 2003: 42 remarks, “it is worth noting that neither the word hetaira, nor indeed the word for any other ‘formally recognized’ sex worker (pornê, aulêtris) appears in this comedy”. I gratefully acknowledge the thoughtful comments of the two anonymous readers which lead to a much improved version of the paper. The Greek text throughout is taken from Henderson’s 1987 edition of the play. 2 — In attempting to explain the origins of the female comic characters in this play, Henderson hypothesizes the hetaera comedy as a prototype and further expands on his view of the young wives as hetaeras, stating «certainly his characterization of the young wives is much closer to the comic EuGeStA - n°5 - 2015 COURTESANS RECONSIDERED 55 Stroup further describes the women as «pseudo-hetaerai» based on the play’s «vivid sympotic imagery and sexual innuendo» (Stroup 2004: 41).

Attic vase paintings constitute the chief evidence for this study, but other evidence, such as inscriptions, literary sources, sculptures and coins is considered, as well. My thesis focus on scenes without a clear mythological context, where the triad appears alone or accompanied by other, mostly, divine figures, and on what messages or information these images of the Apollonian triad convey.

  • Studies on the Iconography of Divine and Heroic
    STUDIES ON THE ICONOGRAPHY OF DIVINE AND HEROIC CHILDREN IN ATTIC RED-FIGURE VASE-PAINTING OF THE FIFTH CENTURY BC (Volume One) THESIS SUBMITTED P02 THE DEGREE OP PhD by LESLEY ANNE BEAUMONT Ff3 University College London (ION DL) P02 MUM 4. A)STR ACT The thesis is an examination of the iconography of children in Attic red-figure vase-painting, concentrat.ng mainly on the representation of mythological children, but considering also the applications of the study to red-figure scenes of everyday life. The aims are two-fold: firstly to analyse iconographiq types employed for the depiction of children by vase-painters, and secondly to use such a study to establish a foundation for the objective analysis of age representation of children in vase-painting. The catalogue of vases comprises one hundred and ninety six entries. Discussion of this material is split into two sections; one dealing with the birth and childhood of the gods, and the other with that of the heroes. The first section is divided into two chapters, one on the most commonly represented infant god, Dionysos, and a second devoted to the remainder of the gods who appear as children. The second section comprises a chapter each on Attic and non-Attic heroes, and a further chapter considers representations of mythological female children. The thesis concludes that divine and heroic children are represented o vases throughout the red-figure period, finding their phase of greatest popularity between about 490-40 BC. It iS shown that most of the iconographic types employed for children are interchangeable for a variety of mythological, and often also mortal, offspring.

The stone is, however, too badly mutilated, in the area of the numerals, to allow much confidence in this reading. Since these are likely to be pottery objects, the price itself seems improbably high (two obols, for the lot, would be high enough), and it seems best here to regard the price as illegible.

  • New Wine in Ancient Wineskins the Evidence from Attic Vases
    NEW WINE IN ANCIENT WINESKINS THE EVIDENCE FROM ATTIC VASES (PLATES29-32) For Virginia Grace IN A FAMOUSPARABLE, Jesus said,in the wordsof the gospelof Luke:"And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins."1 This paper does not deal with the theological implications of these statementsbut instead discussesthe early stages of the processof making wine and the use of wineskins during this process,a matter that has not receivedsufficient attention. The main evidencecomes from a red-figured psykter in the Getty Museum, which has been attributed to the vase painter Smikros.2 The productionand procurementof wine was of considerableinterest to the Attic vase painters, whose productswere largely used at drinkingparties. A famous stamnos by Smi- kros in Brussels3shows in front a symposium scene and on the back two servants filling a large dinos on a stand (P1.29:a). On the left a youth named Euarchoshas just arrivedwith a fresh supply of wine and greets his companionon the right, a beardedman, Euelthon, who has placed his amphora on the ground and seems to be waiting. Both wear cloaks wrapped around their middles:they are clearly servants. On the ground stand two jugs, from which the wine will eventually be dispensedto the companyon the other side of the stamnos. Several scholars have pointed out that this vase is heavily indebted to a more recently discoveredcalyx-krater by Euphronios in Munich.4 The similarity includes the reverse.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-05536-0 - Body, Dress, and Identity in Ancient Greece Mireille M. Lee Frontmatter More information BODY, DRESS, AND IDENTITY IN ANCIENT GREECE This is the fi rst general monograph on ancient Greek dress in English to be published in more than a century. By applying modern dress theory to the ancient evidence, this book reconstructs the social meanings attached to the dressed body in ancient Greece. Whereas many scholars have focused on individual aspects of ancient Greek dress, from the perspectives of liter- ary, visual, and archaeological sources, this volume synthesizes the diverse evidence and off ers fresh insights into this essential aspect of ancient society. Intended to be accessible to nonspecialists as well as classicists, students as well as academic professionals, this book will fi nd a wide audience. Mireille M. Lee is Assistant Professor of History of Art and Classical Studies at Vanderbilt University. She has published widely on various aspects of ancient Greek dress. She has held fellowships from the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Center for Hellenic Studies, the Packard Foundation for the Humanities, and the Whiting Foundation. Her research and teaching focus on gender issues in antiquity and the modern world. She is currently at work on her next book, on the social meanings surrounding ancient Greek mirrors. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-05536-0 - Body, Dress, and Identity in Ancient Greece Mireille M.
