D 29 HERMENEVS 3e JAARGANG, AFL. 1 - 15 SEPTEMBER 1930 Een Griekse spreekwijze De mondelinge overlevering van het yolk geeft soms blijk van een vasthoudendheid waarop de eeuwen geen vat schijnen te heb- ben ; niet zelden wordt op die wijze bewaard wat schriftelik ver- loren gegaan is. Maar dat sterke geheugen van het yolk is niet zeer krities, en levert dikwels met ijzeren volharding onbelangrijke dingen over, terwijl het gebeurtenissen van gewicht bijna onmid- dellik vergeet ; misschien drukt men deze gedachte juister uit door te zeggen dat het nageslacht soms weinig waarde hecht aan 't geen de tijdgenoten belangrijk vonden, en omgekeerd. Zo komt het dat men naar de oorsprong van menig spreekwoord of zegswijze alleen kan gissen — en het tijdschrift de Navorscher bevatte voorheen stoute staaltj es van de willekeur waarmee dat pleegt te geschieden — totdat een gelukkige vondst licht geeft. Prof. Stoett heeft door zijn kennis van onze oude kluchten menig- maal zulke vondsten gedaan. In 't Grieks is 't juist zo gegaan met een spreekwijze aan een zeer alledaagse, voor ons hoogst onbetekenende gebeurtenis ont- leend. Van een bijeenkomst vol drukte en wanorde zegt men, overal waar Grieks wordt gesproken : gyLve Toy KouTpoall o yc'Eti.oc, of gyLve Toi3 KouTpoo?a] TO rcomilyopL (het huwelik of de kermis van Koutroulis heeft plaats gehad), gewoonlik verkort tot de uitroep o yd.Loc (TO ncev1y6pL) Tor) KooTpoa-i. Dus zo iets als bij ons : „een Poolse landdag" of, kenschetsend voor de onbekendheid met het ritueel van niet-kristelike erediensten, „'t is bier een Jodenkerk". Wie was die Koutroulis? Niemand wist het totdat in 1910 de Griekse geleerde Phaedon. Koukoules onder de korrespondentie van het Patriarchaat stukken aantrof die de zaak verklaarden. 1 In het laatst van de le eeuw leefde in de Griekse stad Methone (in Argolis) een zekere Johannes Koutroulis, een aanzienlik man 1 De mededeeling van Koukoules vindt men in de Laographia II (Iwo), blz. 554 vlg., de bedoelde stukken in de Acta et Diplomata graeca medii aevi uitgegeven door Miklosich en Muller (II, blz. 210 vlg.). 2 in zijn omgeving, maar van wie verder niets bekend is. Hij woonde samen met een vrouw die haar wettige man had verlaten, en dat gaf de geestelikheid aanleiding om de kerkelike ban over haar uit te spreken. Koutroulis wilde niets liever dan zijn huisgenote huwen, maar dat ging net gemakkelik; zeventien jaar duurde het voor de ban werd opgeheven : 't huwelik werd toegestaan, indien bewezen werd dat de vrouw in geen ongeoorloofde betrekking had gestaan tot Koutroulis zolang zij in 't huis van haar eerste man woonde. Dat bewijs (of de geldsom die het verving?) werd eindelik geleverd ; het huwelik en de bruiloft bracht heel Methone in rep en roer. Zo ontstond het spreekwoord. Eerst, zegt Koukoules, zal wel alle nadruk op 't werkwoord zijn gevallen (i'yLve) : „'t huwelik van K. heeft waarachtig plaats gehad!", maar later, en vooral in de verkorte vorm, viel die op de naam van de man die de gehele stad kermis had doen vieren. Onverklaard blijft dat zulk een onbelangrijk voorval in een derde- of vierderangs stadje over heel Griekenland, van Thracie tot Kreta, is verbreid geworden en na ruim vijf eeuwen, hoewel onbegrepen, nog vermeld wordt. Methone was in 1206 veroverd door de Venetianen, die de eens sterke vesting hebben geslecht; in de volgende eeuwen (tot 1500, toen de Turken er meester werden) bereikte de plaats, gelijk de gehele Peloponnesus, een zekere mate van welvaart, maar aanzienlik werd de stad nooit. Ik acht de onsterfelikheid van de man uit het vrij obscure Methone alleen verklaarbaar wanneer men aanneemt dat op het schandaaltje een lied gemaakt is, dat door melodie en pikante inhoud groot sukses heeft gehad, — met andere woorden door huip van litteraire overlevering te onderstellen. Van 't bestaan van zulk een lied is intussen geen spoor te vinden, noch enige aanwijzing. Wij weten alleen dat nog heden op 't platteland van Griekenland elke biezondere gebeurtenis aanleiding geeft tot liederen, meestal spotliederen, die de bezongenen meer vrezen dan een pak slaag. Is voor ons niet het gehele geval een waarschuwing tegen het gissen bij de verklaring van spreekwoorden en zegswijzen? Leiden.

Lang Dedicated to Eugene Vanderpool o American School of Classical Studies at Athens ISBN 87661-617-1 Produced by the Meriden Gravure Company Meriden, Connecticut COVER: Bone figure of Socrates TITLE PAGE: Hemlock SOCRATES IN THE AGORA AMERICAN SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES AT ATHENS PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY 1978 ‘Everything combines to make our knowledge of Socrates himself a subject of Socratic irony. The only thing we know definitely about him is that we know nothing.’ -L. Brunschvicg As FAR AS we know Socrates himselfwrote nothing, yet not only were his life and words given dramatic attention in his own time in the Clouds of Ar- istophanes, but they have also become the subject of many others’ writing in the centuries since his death. Fourth-century B.C. writers who had first-hand knowledge of him composed either dialogues in which he was the dominant figure (Plato and Aeschines) or memories of his teaching and activities (Xe- nophon). Later authors down even to the present day have written numerous biographies based on these early sources and considering this most protean of philosophers from every possible point of view except perhaps the topograph- ical one which is attempted here. Instead of putting Socrates in the context of 5th-century B.C. philosophy, politics, ethics or rhetoric, we shall look to find him in the material world and physical surroundings of his favorite stamping- grounds, the Athenian Agora. Just as ‘agora’ in its original sense meant ‘gathering place’ but came in time to mean ‘market place’, so the agora itself was originally a gathering place I.

  • BMC 13 - Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767): Orchestral Music
    BMC 13 - Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767): Orchestral Music Born in Magdeburg in 1681, Telemann belonged to a family that had long been connected with the Lutheran Church. His father was a clergyman, his mother the daughter of a clergyman, and his elder brother also took orders, a path that he too might have followed had it not been for his exceptional musical ability. As a child he showed considerable musical talent, mastering the violin, flute, zither and keyboard by the age of ten and composing an opera (Sigismundus) two years later to the consternation of his family (particularly his mother's side), who disapproved of music. However, such resistance only reinforced his determination to persevere in his studies through transcription, and modeling his works on those of such composers as Steffani, Rosenmüller, Corelli and Antonio Caldara. After preparatory studies at the Hildesheim Gymnasium, he matriculated in Law (at his mother's insistence) at Leipzig University in 1701. That he had little intention of putting aside his interest in music is evident from his stop at Halle, en route to Leipzig, in order to make the acquaintance of the young Handel, with whom he was to maintain a lifelong friendship. It was while he was a student at Leipzig University that a career in music became inevitable. At first it was intended that he should study language and science, but he was already so capable a musician that within a year of his arrival he founded the student Collegium Musicum with which he gave public concerts (and which Bach was later to direct), wrote operatic works for the Leipzig Theater; in 1703 he became musical director of the Leipzig Opera, and was appointed Organist at the Neue Kirche in 1704.

  • "Mixed Taste," Cosmopolitanism, and Intertextuality in Georg Philipp
    “MIXED TASTE,” COSMOPOLITANISM, AND INTERTEXTUALITY IN GEORG PHILIPP TELEMANN’S OPERA ORPHEUS Robert A. Rue A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2017 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Mary Natvig Gregory Decker © 2017 Robert A. Rue All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor Musicologists have been debating the concept of European national music styles in the Baroque period for nearly 300 years. But what precisely constitutes these so-called French, Italian, and German “tastes”? Furthermore, how do contemporary sources confront this issue and how do they delineate these musical constructs? In his Music for a Mixed Taste (2008), Steven Zohn achieves success in identifying musical tastes in some of Georg Phillip Telemann’s instrumental music. However, instrumental music comprises only a portion of Telemann’s musical output. My thesis follows Zohn’s work by identifying these same national styles in opera: namely, Telemann’s Orpheus (Hamburg, 1726), in which the composer sets French, Italian, and German texts to music. I argue that though identifying the interrelation between elements of musical style and the use of specific languages, we will have a better understanding of what Telemann and his contemporaries thought of as national tastes. I will begin my examination by identifying some of the issues surrounding a selection of contemporary treatises, in order explicate the problems and benefits of their use. These sources include Johann Joachim Quantz’s Versuch einer Anweisung die Flöte zu spielen (1752), two of Telemann’s autobiographies (1718 and 1740), and Johann Adolf Scheibe’s Critischer Musikus (1737).

  • University of Reading Thesis Cover
    Plutarch’s Pythian Dialogues: a Literary Approach PhD Classics Caitlin Prouatt December 2017 Declaration I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. Caitlin Prouatt Abstract This thesis takes a literary-theoretical approach to Plutarch’s three so-called Pythian dialogues, De E apud Delphos, De Pythiae Oraculis, and De Defectu Oraculorum. It explores the texts from the perspective of their literary qualities: their genre, their unity as a group, and the narrators and narratees they construct. It argues that the three works occupy an important position in the largely Platonic genre of philosophical dialogue, both advertising their Platonic elements to benefit from such associations, and innovating within the genre’s bounds. In his innovations, the author moves beyond what is typically expected of a dialogue, emphasising the works’ unusual Delphic setting, and using this as a starting-point for philosophical discussion. The thesis contends that the three works form a coherent series, not just because of their shared setting and subject matter, but because they all function as protreptics to philosophy, providing readers with a clear guide to practising philosophy by turning to their own surroundings. Finally, this thesis examines, through a study of the works’ dedicatees, the kind of readers Plutarch anticipated. It suggests that the ideal reader of these works, a city-dwelling, career-minded man is deliberately contrasted in the texts with their more philosophical narrators (including Plutarch himself), portrayed as natives of Delphi, affected by both its fortunes and the intellectual preoccupations of its god, Apollo.

  • Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Plutarch
    03/05/2017 Plutarch (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Plutarch First published Tue Sep 7, 2010; substantive revision Tue Nov 4, 2014 Plutarch of Chaeronea in Boeotia (ca. 45–120 CE) was a Platonist philosopher, best known to the general public as author of his “Parallel Lives” of paired Greek and Roman statesmen and military leaders. He was a voluminous writer, author also of a collection of “Moralia” or “Ethical Essays,” mostly in dialogue format, many of them devoted to philosophical topics, not at all limited to ethics. Plutarch's significance as a philosopher, on which this article concentrates, lies in his attempt to do justice to Plato's work as a whole, and to create a coherent and credible philosophical system out of it, as Plotinus will also do later (204–270 CE). Two moves are crucial in this regard. First, Plutarch respects both the skeptical/aporetic element in Plato (as marked by the tentativeness with which Socrates and the other main speakers in his dialogues regularly advance their views) and the views apparently endorsed by the main speakers of the dialogues, which were widely regarded as Plato's own doctrines (e.g. Diogenes Laertius 3.51–2). Second, Plutarch focuses primarily and quite strongly on the Timaeus for his understanding of Plato's “doctrines,” and his interpretation of this dialogue shapes his understanding of the entire Plato. Plutarch maintains a literal interpretation of the Timaeus, according to which the world has come about in time from two principles, the creator god and the “Indefinite Dyad”.

  • Socrates, the Man and His Mission
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. SAN UlfcUO 3 1822017325887 LIBRARY c/> NI * SA -'-- J x libirij UNIVERSTYOFCLFORNASAND.E 31822017325887 SOCRATES THE MAN AND HIS MISSION SOCRATES THE MAN AND HIS MISSION BY R.
