  • Robert Graves the White Goddess
    ROBERT GRAVES THE WHITE GODDESS IN DEDICATION All saints revile her, and all sober men Ruled by the God Apollo's golden mean— In scorn of which I sailed to find her In distant regions likeliest to hold her Whom I desired above all things to know, Sister of the mirage and echo. It was a virtue not to stay, To go my headstrong and heroic way Seeking her out at the volcano's head, Among pack ice, or where the track had faded Beyond the cavern of the seven sleepers: Whose broad high brow was white as any leper's, Whose eyes were blue, with rowan-berry lips, With hair curled honey-coloured to white hips. Green sap of Spring in the young wood a-stir Will celebrate the Mountain Mother, And every song-bird shout awhile for her; But I am gifted, even in November Rawest of seasons, with so huge a sense Of her nakedly worn magnificence I forget cruelty and past betrayal, Careless of where the next bright bolt may fall. FOREWORD am grateful to Philip and Sally Graves, Christopher Hawkes, John Knittel, Valentin Iremonger, Max Mallowan, E. M. Parr, Joshua IPodro, Lynette Roberts, Martin Seymour-Smith, John Heath-Stubbs and numerous correspondents, who have supplied me with source- material for this book: and to Kenneth Gay who has helped me to arrange it. Yet since the first edition appeared in 1946, no expert in ancient Irish or Welsh has offered me the least help in refining my argument, or pointed out any of the errors which are bound to have crept into the text, or even acknowledged my letters.

  • Homer's Ogygia: an Imaginary Or a Historiography?
    Athens Journal of History - Volume 3, Issue 1 – Pages 49-70 Homer’s Ogygia: An Imaginary or a Historiography? By John Vella Epic poetry and legends are thought to be imaginary. Studies and science show that they may have a basis in history, yet the study of places-names – toponomy – supported by a multi-disciplinary approach provides sufficient tangible evidence as to enable the tracing of unwritten historic events and the description of forgotten contexts. In this paper, the researcher will conduct an analysis of Homer’s Ogygia, its character Calypso, and the events mentioned in the text. These factors provide enough details to classify and transform the perception of an imaginary story into a fact-based historic account – an early form of historiography – set on the island of Gozo-Malta. Introduction The author’s earlier research has argued that toponyms and associated legends backed by tangible evidence are silent witnesses to an unwritten history.1 This study departs from imaginaries instigated by ancient Greek epic poetry and a toponym. Homer’s Odyssey is the earliest written reference to the Maltese Islands. For centuries, the Iliad and its narrative of the aftermath of the Trojan War were considered fictional, but archaeology has proven otherwise. Though epic poetry has led to contrasting discussions, this study hopes to inspire historians and historiographers to revolutionise the interpretation of historic imaginary intangibles. The study provides a paradigm for the inclusion of both tangible and intangible factors in the construction of a more realistic narrative of the remote past. Toponym Definitions The term toponym is not restricted to the lexicographic definition as "a place name, especially one derived from a topographical feature".2 The author expands toponymy to include place-names derived from practices, functions, persons and historic events, rather than solely geographical or PhD Student, Mediterranean Institute, University of Malta, Malta.

By Sir ISAAC NEWTON. LONDON: Printed for J. TONSON in the Strand, and J. OSBORN and T. LONGMAN in Pater-noster Row. MDCCXXVIII. TO THE QUEEN. MADAM, As I could never hope to write any thing my self, worthy to be laid before YOUR MAJESTY; I think it a very great happiness, that it should be my lot to usher into the world, under Your Sacred Name, the last work of as great a Genius as any Age ever produced: an Offering of such value in its self, as to be in no danger of suffering from the meanness of the hand that presents it. The impartial and universal encouragement which YOUR MAJESTY has always given to Arts and Sciences, entitles You to the best returns the learned world is able to make: And the many extraordinary Honours YOUR MAJESTY vouchsafed the Author of the following sheets, give You a just right to his Productions. These, above the rest, lay the most particular claim to Your Royal Protection; For the Chronology had never appeared in its present Form without YOUR MAJESTY's Influence; and the Short Chronicle, which precedes it, is entirely owing to the Commands with which You were pleased to honour him, out of your singular Care for the education of the Royal Issue, and earnest desire to form their minds betimes, and lead them early into the knowledge of Truth.

  • EK Mcfall in the Chapter
    [JGRChJ 8 (2011–12) 106-50] ARE DIONYSOS AND OEDIPUS NAME VARIATIONS FOR SATAN AND ANTICHRIST?* E.K. McFall Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey I trust that the reader…will by now be persuaded of the general thesis that Greek poetry from Hesiod and Homer down to Pindar and Aeschylus is pervaded by influences from West Asiatic literature and religious thought and that this was not the consequence of a single focused burst of radiation but reflects an ongoing process over a broad front.1 Once when there was a great drought, as is generally agreed, which extended over practically all the inhabited earth except Egypt because of the peculiar character of that country, and there followed a destruction both of crops and men in great numbers, Erechtheus brought from there to Athens a great supply of grain, and in return those who had enjoyed this aid made their benefactor king (Diodorus Siculus, Bib. hist. 1.29.1-2).2 In the chapter ‘Odysseus’ Scar’, in Erich Auerbach’s Mimesis, Auerbach cites the differences in narrative techniques in Homer and the Old Testament, saying ‘it would be difficult…to imagine styles more contrasted than those of these two equally ancient and equally epic texts’.3 Auerbach’s comparison does not suggest that Homer and Old Testament scribes are engaged in a conversation featuring a purposeful inversion of a shared reality, although perhaps it should. Instead it is meant to be an example of two contrasting texts chosen specifically to illustrate two * It should be noted that the evidence for the particular interpretation expressed in this article is selective and trans-historical.

  • The Birthplace of Ancient Religions and Civilization
    A * 1 THE BIRTHPLACE or ANCIENT RELIGIONS AND CIVILIZATION. BY THE REV. J. CAMPBELL, M.A, ^V ; ; [^From the Canadian JournaLI THE BIRTHPLACE OF ANCIENT RELIGIONS AND CIVILIZATION. BY THE REV. J. CAMPBELL, M.A. The important discoveries which, in recent years, have rewarded antiquarian research among the monuments, and especially among the written monuments, of the ancient world, have greatly tended to confirm an intelligent belief in the unity of the human race. Links, similar ia character to those which the physical ethnologist finds between organ- isms difi'cring in form and feature, bind in one the speakers of different languages and the inhabitants of widely separated regions. These links may be termed historical, and are found in the religions and mythologies of the nations of the earth. It is impossible to take up any work on Compai*ative Mythology, or treatise upon the religious systems of different peoples, and not find one's self involuntarily attempting to answer the question, '' Whence comes this marvellous " agreement ? The learned Faber, who, in the early part of the present century, gave to the world, in three quarto volumes, a dissertation on the Origin of Pagan Idolatry, framed the following disjunctive judgment, which exhausts the whole field of hypothesis, and shuts the enquirer up into a definite conclusion, after a brief investigation of the subject: 1. Either all nations agreed peaceably to borrow from one, subsequent r»" to their several settlements v 2. Or all nations, subsequent to their several settlements, were com- pelled by arms to adopt the superstition of one 3.

  • K Niltel' S Homer. [Oct
    688 K niltel' s Homer. [Oct ARTICLE V. KNOTEL'S HOMER. BY ltX-PRBSIDJtNT SA-MUltI.. COI,CORD BARTI..ETT, D.O., LL.D. THE appearance of Knotel's two volumes ou "Homer the Blind Man of Chios" 1 both presents a valuable lesson in the historical investigation of a literary question, and apparently marks a new epoch in the assured recognition of Homer's personality and work. For a century Fried­ rich August Wolf and his followers have claimed to domi­ nate the literary world with the theory that the Homeric poems were a compilation of what he termed rhapsodies composed by various unknown authors, and not the work of anyone person bearing the name Homer. It is to demolish this skillfully elaborated and widely current theory that Knotel has written these two scholarly volumes. He fully recognizes the tenacity with which the theory has been held by its advocates, and the impossibil­ ity of dealing with it on the ground of mere literary criti­ cism without some historic basis on which the discussion shall rest. For, as he remarks, the attempt to rebut cri­ tique with counter critique proceeding from within out­ ward, is hopeless, and we can neyer thus reach a clear, tan­ gible, and conclusive result. He earnestly asserts and reiterates that the Homeric question is no gram matico­ critical or purely literary question, but by all odds a his­ torical one, which cannot be settled by acute conjectures or critical keenness of scent, but by well-proved facts.

  • Europa: the Politics of Mythology1
    Filozofski vestnik | Volume XL | Number 2 | 2019 | 7–58 Tomaž Mastnak* Europa: The Politics of Mythology1 Once the myth of Europa1is seen as the European foundational myth, the ques- tions of the origin and meaning of the myth of Europa and of the word Europa itself become questions of the origins and meaning of Europe. Those questions can thus become of central importance for our construction of what is popularly called European civilization. The way one answers the questions has implica- tions for the fabrication of Ancient Greece and for our view of the role played by that Greece in the history of Europe. Answers to those questions involve the big issues of cultural heritage and racial descent, of historical, cultural, and racial identity. The myth of Europa functions as a prism through which we see world history. But at the same time, the way one sees or wants to see world history and Europe’s place in it, and the value one may wish to attach to European civiliza- tion (whatever that might mean), motivate and determine interpretations of the myth of Europa and of the name Europa. The issue at stake can be put very simply: Is Europe an autonomous civiliza- tion or was it historically influenced by Egypt and the Semitic civilizations of the Near East? If the Ancient Greece is – or is to be – regarded as the “cradle of European civilization,” as the “fountain-head of European culture,” or as the spring of the “European spirit,” the nature of that Greece determines the nature of who “we,” the “Europeans,” are.

GUERBER juie6\89« NEW YORK-:-CINCINNATI-:-CHICAGO AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY K Copyright, 1896, by AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY. STORY OF GREECE. W. P. I PREFACE. This elementary history of Greece is intended for supple- mentary reading or as a first history text-book for young pupils. It is therefore made up principally of stories about persons ; for, while history proper is largely beyond the comprehension of children, they are able at an early age to understand and enjoy anecdotes of people, especially of those in the childhood of civil- ization. At the same time, these stories will give a clear idea of the most important events that have taken place in the ancient world, and, it is hoped, will arouse a desire to read further. They also aim to enforce the lessons of perseverance, courage, patriot- ism, and virtue that are taught by the noble lives described. A knowledge of ancient history, however superficial, is of very great value ; and the classic legends are almost equally worth knowing, because of the prominent part they play in the world's literature. These tales make a deep impression on the minds of children, and the history thus learned almost in play will cling to the memory far more tenaciously than any lessons subsequently conned. Many children leave school unacquainted with any history except that of the United States ; which, dealing with less simple and primitive times than that of Greece, is apt to be so unattrac- tive that the child never afterwards reads any historical works.
