The reasons for choosing this period are given in the Preface to the First Series. But as new accessions continue to be made, so fresh criticism continues to appear ; and even while the book was passing through the Press, we observed instances of this (for the subject is living and growing), but it was too late to incorporate them. We must apologize if we have trespassed too far into the period a. d. ; if we have, it was to render the treat ment of the subject more complete. We have also added in an Appendix an article on the recent accessions to the Hesiodic poems, in order to summarize the important work which has been done on them in England and in other countries. As in the First Scries, while we have exercised a general supervision of the articles, we have allowed each of our contributors to treat his subject in his own way, and hence slight repetition here and there was unavoid able. We have to express our thanks to them, and also to several other scholars ; imprimis to Professor Hunt for his unfailing interest and assistance ; next to Mr. A. D. Knox, Mr. E. Lobel, Mr. R. McKenzie, vi PREFACE Mr. H. J. M. Milne, Professor E. B. Poulton, and Mr. M. N. Tod, who have placed their learning liberally at our disposal. But our chief debt of gratitude is due to the Delegates of the Clarendon Press for their continued approval and support. J. U. P. E. A. B. CONTENTS Preface .

POETRY I CALLIMACHUS New light continues to be shed on the poetry and person ality of Callimachus by the publication of further fragments from his writings, derived from the papyri. It is true that often the material thus furnished is tantalizing in its incom pleteness, and that in most cases the reconstructions of earlier (' ' scholars are refuted by the new discoveries reconstruction is particularly difficult in dealing with an author who made it a principle never to write as the reader might reasonably suppose that he would) ; nevertheless, though we still grope in the twilight, we can be grateful to the papyri that it is no longer a i>i>£ dnopos which surrounds us. Since 1921 Oxyrhynchus has contributed additions to the fragments of Callimachus on two occasions. The earlier but less interesting publication represents to all appearance a branch of the poet's activity of which little has been otherwise pre ' ' served, to wit the occasional elegies which, as Poet Laureate of the day, he was called upon to compose for the Ptolemies and their court. Such elegies no doubt first saw the light separately like the Idylls ofTheocritus ; later either Callimachus himself or more probably some successor, corresponding to Artemidorus and Theon, the editors of Theocritus, made a collection of these stray pieces. The meagre remains of his Oxyrhynchus.1 collection lie before us in our papyrus from This, it seems, contains fragments from at least three elegies, Catullus' viz. (1) the original of Coma Berenices, (2) another elegy mentioning Berenice and her father Magas, (3) the elegiac Epinikion addressed to Sosibius. Only a few muti lated lines survive from the first and second of these poems, ' ' but the Victory of Sosibius (we owe the title to the scholiast on Lycophron. Alex. 522) is better preserved. 1 Oxyrh. Pap. xv. 1793. a POETRY the There has been considerable debate regarding identity the original editor of the Sosibius in question. Professor Hunt, him with a Sosibius of of the papyrus, was inclined to identify Josephus1 of the Tarentum mentioned by as a captain body scholars pin guard of Philadelphus ; Wilamowitz and other Athenaeus,2 their faith to a statement of who after referring to ' ' Theophrastus to Cassander a tract on Kingship addressed by (pb. 297 B. c.) adds that many attribute the work to Sosibius ' for whom the poet Callimachus composed an Epimkion in elegiacs'. Both these identifications, but especially the second, demand that we should date the poem very early in Calli machus' life, and Wilamowitz unconvincingly claims that such dating is confirmed by the internal evidence of the poet's style and attitude towards his patron. There can, however, be little 3 Beloch4 doubt that Herzog and are right in maintaining that the addressee of Callimachus was the notorious Grand Vizier of Ptolemy IV (Philopator) who won the battle of Raphia in Polybius5 ' ' 217 s. C, and is pilloried by as the false guardian (yjrevSeirirpoTros) of the young heir of Philopator. The father of the minister, as we know from inscriptions, was called Dioscurides, and no doubt Call. Fr. 19a Upa, vvv Se AioaKovpiSeco yeverj belongs to the poem that we are discussing. This Sosibius died at an advanced age shortly after 202 B. C, and was there fore, it seems, not born much before 270 B. C, but the probable date of some of the inscriptions which mention his name and the references of Polybius to his career make it likely that he was already a figure of some importance under the third Ptolemy and even as early as 240 B. C It appears probable then that Callimachus wrote his con gratulatory elegy in the forties of the third century ; if so, the ' ' Victory of Sosibius like the Coma Berenices, the Hymn to Apollo, several epigrams, even possibly (see below) the Aetia, 1 2 Ant. xii. 2. 2. iv, p. 144 e. 3 Philol.

  • Hadrian and the Greek East
    HADRIAN AND THE GREEK EAST: IMPERIAL POLICY AND COMMUNICATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Demetrios Kritsotakis, B.A, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Fritz Graf, Adviser Professor Tom Hawkins ____________________________ Professor Anthony Kaldellis Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Demetrios Kritsotakis 2008 ABSTRACT The Roman Emperor Hadrian pursued a policy of unification of the vast Empire. After his accession, he abandoned the expansionist policy of his predecessor Trajan and focused on securing the frontiers of the empire and on maintaining its stability. Of the utmost importance was the further integration and participation in his program of the peoples of the Greek East, especially of the Greek mainland and Asia Minor. Hadrian now invited them to become active members of the empire. By his lengthy travels and benefactions to the people of the region and by the creation of the Panhellenion, Hadrian attempted to create a second center of the Empire. Rome, in the West, was the first center; now a second one, in the East, would draw together the Greek people on both sides of the Aegean Sea. Thus he could accelerate the unification of the empire by focusing on its two most important elements, Romans and Greeks. Hadrian channeled his intentions in a number of ways, including the use of specific iconographical types on the coinage of his reign and religious language and themes in his interactions with the Greeks. In both cases it becomes evident that the Greeks not only understood his messages, but they also reacted in a positive way.

  • Macedonian Kings, Egyptian Pharaohs the Ptolemaic Family In
    Department of World Cultures University of Helsinki Helsinki Macedonian Kings, Egyptian Pharaohs The Ptolemaic Family in the Encomiastic Poems of Callimachus Iiro Laukola ACADEMIC DISSERTATION To be publicly discussed, by due permission of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Helsinki in auditorium XV, University Main Building, on the 23rd of September, 2016 at 12 o’clock. Helsinki 2016 © Iiro Laukola 2016 ISBN 978-951-51-2383-1 (paperback.) ISBN 978-951-51-2384-8 (PDF) Unigrafia Helsinki 2016 Abstract The interaction between Greek and Egyptian cultural concepts has been an intense yet controversial topic in studies about Ptolemaic Egypt. The present study partakes in this discussion with an analysis of the encomiastic poems of Callimachus of Cyrene (c. 305 – c. 240 BC). The success of the Ptolemaic Dynasty is crystallized in the juxtaposing of the different roles of a Greek ǴdzȅǻǽǷȏȄ and of an Egyptian Pharaoh, and this study gives a glimpse of this political and ideological endeavour through the poetry of Callimachus. The contribution of the present work is to situate Callimachus in the core of the Ptolemaic court. Callimachus was a proponent of the Ptolemaic rule. By reappraising the traditional Greek beliefs, he examined the bicultural rule of the Ptolemies in his encomiastic poems. This work critically examines six Callimachean hymns, namely to Zeus, to Apollo, to Artemis, to Delos, to Athena and to Demeter together with the Victory of Berenice, the Lock of Berenice and the Ektheosis of Arsinoe. Characterized by ambiguous imagery, the hymns inspect the ruptures in Greek thought during the Hellenistic age.

  • Archaic Eretria
    ARCHAIC ERETRIA This book presents for the first time a history of Eretria during the Archaic Era, the city’s most notable period of political importance. Keith Walker examines all the major elements of the city’s success. One of the key factors explored is Eretria’s role as a pioneer coloniser in both the Levant and the West— its early Aegean ‘island empire’ anticipates that of Athens by more than a century, and Eretrian shipping and trade was similarly widespread. We are shown how the strength of the navy conferred thalassocratic status on the city between 506 and 490 BC, and that the importance of its rowers (Eretria means ‘the rowing city’) probably explains the appearance of its democratic constitution. Walker dates this to the last decade of the sixth century; given the presence of Athenian political exiles there, this may well have provided a model for the later reforms of Kleisthenes in Athens. Eretria’s major, indeed dominant, role in the events of central Greece in the last half of the sixth century, and in the events of the Ionian Revolt to 490, is clearly demonstrated, and the tyranny of Diagoras (c. 538–509), perhaps the golden age of the city, is fully examined. Full documentation of literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources (most of which have previously been inaccessible to an English-speaking audience) is provided, creating a fascinating history and a valuable resource for the Greek historian. Keith Walker is a Research Associate in the Department of Classics, History and Religion at the University of New England, Armidale, Australia.
