Deux notices précèdent la traduction de ce texte: la première situe le pays du Mitanni dans son contexte historique et géographique, la deuxième explique le rôle de Shattiwaza. Pour ces deux points, j’utilise largement le travail de P. GARELLI, Le Proche-Orient asiatique, Nouvelle Clio 2 (1982). J’ai estimé inutile de réécrire en d’autres termes ce que GARELLI a décrit clairement. Une nouvelle édition de ce travail est en cours; mais les données historiques, citées ici, resteront valables. Les versions du texte ont été publiées dans Keilschrifttexte aus Boghazköi I, Leipzig (1916), 1 et 2, et dans Keilschrifturkunden aus Boghazköi III, Berlin (1922) 1. La transcription et la traduction allemande sont dues à E. F. WEIDNER, Politische Dokumente aus Kleinasien, Die Staatsverträge in akkadischer Sprache aus dem Archiv von Boghazköi, Boghazköi-Studien 8 (1923), Leipzig, 2-37.

  • General Introduction Hesiod and His Poems

    General Introduction Hesiod and His Poems

    General Introduction Hesiod and His Poems The Theogony is one of the most important mythical texts to survive from antiquity, and I devote the first section of this translation to it. It tells of the creation of the present world order under the rule of almighty Zeus. The Works and Days, in the second section, describes a bitter dispute between Hesiod and his brother over the disposition of their father’s property, a theme that allows Hesiod to range widely over issues of right and wrong. The Shield of Herakles, whose centerpiece is a long description of a work of art, is not by Hesiod, at least most of it, but it was always attributed to him in antiquity. It is Hesiodic in style and has always formed part of the Hesiodic corpus. It makes up the third section of this book. The influence of Homer’s poems on Greek and later culture is inestima- ble, but Homer never tells us who he is; he stands behind his poems, invisi- ble, all-knowing. His probable contemporary Hesiod, by contrast, is the first self-conscious author in Western literature. Hesiod tells us something about himself in his poetry. His name seems to mean “he who takes pleasure in a journey” (for what it is worth) but in the Works and Days he may play with the meaning of “he who sends forth song.” As with all names—for example, Homer, meaning “hostage,” or Herodotus, meaning “a warrior’s gift”—the name of a poet may have nothing to do with his actual career.
  • Shaushka, the Traveling Goddess Graciela GESTOSO SINGER

    Shaushka, the Traveling Goddess Graciela GESTOSO SINGER

    Shaushka, the Traveling Goddess Graciela GESTOSO SINGER Traveling gods and goddesses between courts was a well-known motif in the ancient Near East. Statues of gods and goddesses served as symbols of life, fertility, healing, prosperity, change, alliances and sometimes represented the “geographical” integration or the “ideological” legitimization of a territory. The Amarna Letters reveal the jour- ney of the goddess Shaushka to the Egyptian court of Amenhotep III. Akkadian, Hurrian, Hittite, and Ugaritic texts reveal the role played by this goddess in local pantheons, as well as in various foreign courts during the second millennium BCE. She was known as the goddess of war, fertility and healing and statues of the goddess were used in rituals performed before military actions, to heal diseases, to bless marriage alliances and assist births. This pa- per analyses the role of this traveling goddess in the Egyptian court of Amenhotep III. El viaje de estatuas de dioses y diosas entre cortes de grandes reyes fue un recurso conocido en el Cercano Oriente antiguo. En la Antigüedad, las estatuas de ciertos dioses y diosas fueron símbolos de vida, fertilidad, curación, prosperidad, cambio, alianzas y, en algunos casos, representaron la integración “geográfica” o la legiti- mación “ideológica” de un territorio. Las Cartas de El Amarna revelan el viaje de la estatua de la diosa Shaushka hacia la corte egipcia durante el reinado de Amenhotep III. Textos acadios, hurritas, hititas y ugaríticos indican el rol cumplido por esta diosa en panteones locales, así como en diversas cortes extranjeras durante el II milenio a.e. Fue reconocida como la diosa de la guerra, fertilidad y curación.

Distortions in the Historical Record Concerning Ager Publicus, Leges Agrariae, and the Gracchi Maria Jeffrey Introduction: Scholarship on the Gracchi is largely based on the accounts of Plutarch and Appian, historians who were far removed temporally from the Gracchi themselves. It is not known from which sources Plutarch and Appian derive their accounts, which presents problems for the modern historian aiming to determine historical fact. The ancient sources do not equip the modern historian to make many definitive claims about the Gracchan agrarian reform, much less about the motives of the Gracchi themselves. Looking to tales of earlier agrarian reform through other literary sources as well as exploring the types of land in question and the nature of the agrarian crisis through secondary sources also yields ambiguous results.

RAINEY International Visiting Research Scholar Centre for Classics and Archaeology University of Melbourne Victoria 3010 AUSTRALIA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The ensuing remarks seek to elucidate some of the central issues in the study of the cuneiform texts discovered at Tell el-¨Amârnah in Egypt. Progress in the study of the language, the social structure of Canaan at that time and certain historical problems will be reviewed. After an accidental find by a village woman in 1887. Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie was the first modern scholar to conduct archaeological excavations at the actual site. His work determined the probable spot where the tablets had been deposited when the ancient town was abandoned. Subsequently, Petrie articulated various interpretations of the evidence from the archaeological finds and also from the inscriptions. During the twentieth century, research was continued on all the many facets of these momentous discoveries. The focus in this paper is on the cuneiform epistles, the international and parochial correspondence that involved the Egyptian gov- ernment.* * The present article is an expansion of the ‘2002 Flinders Petrie Oration,’ delivered on behalf of the Australian Institute of Archaeology and the Archaeological Research Unit, The School of Ecology and Environment, Deakin University, Burwood, Victoria, Australia, on 30 August, 2002.

Even understanding “mulatto strategies” is difficult because it is to study a group shrouded in historical ambiguity by choice.
  • The Enslaved Families of Fontainebleau

    The Enslaved Families of Fontainebleau

    THE ENSLAVED FAMILIES OF FONTAINEBLEAU A Summary for the 2019 Dedication of the Historic Marker FEBRUARY 19, 2019 RESEARCH BY JACKSON CANTRELL, IMAGES COLLATED BY LEANNE CANTRELL P a g e | 1 Introduction Before we can discuss the lives of the enslaved families who once resided at Fontainebleau, it is helpful to know how and why the plantation was created in the first place. For residents of the city of Mandeville, Louisiana, stories about the town’s founding father, Bernard de Marigny de Mandeville are widely known. When he and his siblings inherited their father’s vast estate (some historians claim his holdings may have been worth $7 million or around $200 million in today’s value) he was just shy of 16 years old. Bernard had seen a life of indulgence and privilege like few other teenagers ever had. His mentors did their best to educate him and help him mature before he arrived at the legal age of maturity. As a 21-year-old in 1806 New Orleans, he began subdividing the family’s plantation there into residential lots that would become the suburb known as the Fauberg Marigny. Two decades later, Bernard had by then helped facilitate the winning of The War of 1812 and served as President of the Louisiana State Senate. He began looking toward the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain as an area where he might purchase and again subdivide land. His goal was to create a resort town near pine forests, the lakefront, and fresh-water bayous. While laying out the plans for his little city, he created street names to honor various statesmen and war heroes.
