Nam colligimus. Nam citharoedum primum, ac primum quantus sis in omni poetica, poemata citharoedorum deum putauit antiquitas: deinde tua iam edita facile declarant: tum uero in medicinae inuentorem, ac ipsum etiam philosophia, et medicinae facultate, in primis medicum constituit: tum iaculatorem, et tuae adolescentiae annis et florenti aetate tale sagittarium: postremo uatem et uaticinii deum praebueras specimen, ut inter nostrae urbis, existimauit. ex quibus quidem quatuor rebus, atque adeo tota Italia, eius scientiae multiplicia ei sunt attributa cognomina. qua ex professores esses non postremum locum re et Cotta apud Ciceronem in III. de Natura habiturus. Memini senes doctissimi ac deorum, Apollines quatuor celebrat: quorum sapientissimi Ioannem Manardum, et antiquissimus, is qui ex Vulcano natus, Ludouicum Bonactiolum de te ita praedicare Athenarum custos dictus est: alter, Corybantis solitos, unum scilicet te medicam facultatem filius, natus in Creta, cuius de illa insula cum maxime illustraturum, si in ea colenda Ioue ipso certamen fuisse traditur: tertius Ioue perstitisses. Sed Coelii nostri Calcagnini, uiri tertio natus, et Latona, quem ex Hyperboreis eruditissimi interitus, minime hoc tempore Delphos ferunt aduenisse: quartus, in Arcadia, patriae opportunus, te ab hac excellentis quem Arcades Nomionem appellant, quod ab expectationis specula deduxit, nec ea permisit eo se ferunt leges accepisse. Haec uel Cotta, te perficere, quae in ea fueras nauiter uel potius Cicero. Sed enimuero Arnobius, aggressus. Nam cum in Coelii locum unus quinque Solis nomine commemorat in quarto aliquis esset surrogandus, in publice aduersus Gentes, hoc ordine: Sol, inquit, praelegendis et interpretandis Latinae linguae primus Iouis filius dicitur, et Aetheris habetur auctoribus doctor, te nullum aptiorem nepos: secundus, Regina et Hyperione idoneumque magis, ciuium suorum, totiusque proditus genitore: tertius, Vulcano, non ditionis amantissimus prudentissimusque Lemnio, sed Nili qui fuerit filius: quartus, Ialysi Princeps noster HERCVLES Secundus pater, quem Rhodi peperit Heroicis censuit: id quod gratissimum fuisse nonnullis temporibus Achanto: quintus, Scythici regis, et medicae artis professoribus intellexi, qui tuae uersipellis habetur Circes. Quae tamen uerba surgenti, et iam prope uolitanti ubique gloriae parum castigata uidentur, et sumpta ex M. inuidebant. Verum haec missa facio, Ciceronis secundo de Natura deorum, ut paulo nostrumque potius incoeptum prosequor. post ostendam. Diuersos quoque et uarios Auguror enim, et praeuideo, non falsus idem Arnobius, Apollinis amores recenset: (opinor) uates, te non minus in hac palaestra Arsinoas, Chrysas, Hypsipylas, Marpessas, lauream consecuturum, inuidiamque Zeusippas, et Prothoas, Daphnas, et Steropas: superaturum, atque in illa iam fueras: tantum, ne Branchos dicam, et Hyacinthos. Sedenim quod saxum indies uoluere coepisti, ne te ab his missis, Apollinis nomen pro diuersis eo sudor et labor deterreat, sed magis ac magis ponitur significatibus: nunc pro sole, nunc pro enitere, ut ego, quem uides et aetate et morbis deo, nunc pro uate diuino, nunc pro mundo, prope cadentem, in tua uirtute florescente nunc pro significatione humanae uocis: cui conquiescam. Interea hanc nostram ideo et nouem Musae iunguntur, ut in Musis, qualemcunque lucubrationem, cupio ut pluribus docebo. Porro iuxta Porphyrii librum, aliquando ea perlegas ratione, non quidem ut quem solem appellauit, triplicem constat uere esse Apollinis potestatem: et eundem esse proditur.

Hinc est etiam quod Homerus Lacedaemonios aliquando [p.302] Apollinis eundem tam pestilentiae dicit, quam salutis simulachrum τετράωτον effinxisse, hoc est, auctorem. Et Horatius ait, cum quatuor auribus, quod grammaticus Condito mitis placidusque telo Aristoteles annotauit: et simul ut quatuor Supplices audis pueros Apollo. haberet manus, quod, (ut Sosibius scripsit) ea Sane quoniam de gryphe Apollini dicato est specie uisus fuisset, cum apud Amyclas modo facta mentio, id uidetur in Fulgentio pugnarent. unde etiam prouerbium emanauit, castigandum, quod est in calce primi libri τετράωτον ἄκουε, hoc est, quadriaurem audi: Mythologicon: His, inquit, Tryphum quoque hoc est, prudentem et industrium.

  • 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.

    Divine Riddles: A Sourcebook for Greek and Roman Mythology March, 2014 E. Edward Garvin, Editor What follows is a collection of excerpts from Greek literary sources in translation. The intent is to give students an overview of Greek mythology as expressed by the Greeks themselves. But any such collection is inherently flawed: the process of selection and abridgement produces a falsehood because both the narrative and meta-narrative are destroyed when the continuity of the composition is interrupted. Nevertheless, this seems the most expedient way to expose students to a wide range of primary source information. I have tried to keep my voice out of it as much as possible and will intervene as editor (in this Times New Roman font) only to give background or exegesis to the text.

Ancient Texts In the field of Classics, we refer to texts by Author, name of the book, book number, chapter number and line number.1 Every text, regardless of language, uses the same numbering system. Homer’s Iliad, for example, is divided into 24 books and the lines in each book are numbered. Hesiod’s Theogony is much shorter so no book divisions are necessary but the lines are numbered.

Nothing is positively known, and little can be conjectured with any degree of probability, con- cerning the author of the Library. Writing in the ninth century of our era the patriarch Photius calls him Apollodorus the Gi'ammarian,^ and in the manu- scripts of his book he is described as Apollodorus the Athenian, Grammarian. Hence we may con- clude that Photius and the copyists identified our author with the eminent Athenian grammarian of that name, who flourished about 140 b.c. and wrote a number of learned works, now lost, including an elaborate treatise On the Gods in twenty-four books, and a poetical, or at all events versified. Chronicle in four books. 2 But in modern times good reasons have been given for rejecting this identification,^ ^ Photius, Bibliotheca, p.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract Pseudo-Apollodoros’ Bibliotheke is undeniably the most useful single source for the mythical tradition of Greece. Enclosing in a short space a remarkable quantity of information, it offers concise and comprehensive accounts of most of the myths that had come to matter beyond local boundaries, providing its readers with their most popular variants. This study concentrates on the most familiar stories contained in the first book of the Bibliotheke and their proper place in the overall structure of Greek mythology. Chapter One is dedicated to the backbone of Apollodoros’ work: the chronological organisation of Greek mythical history in genealogies. It discusses the author’s individual plan in the arrangement and presentation of his material and his conscious striving for cohesion.

This edition was created and published by Global Grey ©GlobalGrey 2018 globalgreyebooks.com CONTENTS Chapter 1. How Old Is Greek Mythology? CHAPTER 2.

Northern Boeotia And Thessaly 8. Attica 9. Conclusion Chapter 3. Heracles Chapter 4. Olympus 1 CHAPTER 1. HOW OLD IS GREEK MYTHOLOGY? The question: How old is Greek mythology? may at first sight seem idle, for Greek mythology is obviously of many different ages. For example, many genealogies and eponymous heroes created for political purposes are late, such inventions having been made through the whole historical age of Greece; yet most of them are earlier than the very late myths like the campaigns of Dionysus, or the great mass of the metamorphoses, especially the catasterisms, which were invented in the Hellenistic age. The great tragic poets reshaped the myths and left their imprint upon them, so that the forms in which the myths are commonly known nowadays often have been given them by tragedy. Similarly, before the tragic poets, the choric lyric poets reshaped them. The cyclical epics also are thought to have exercised a profound influence upon the remodeling of the myths. In Homer we find many well-known myths, often in forms differing, however, from those in which they are related later. Finally, it cannot be doubted that myths existed before Homer.
