Athenians and Eleusinians in the West Pediment of the Parthenon
ATHENIANS AND ELEUSINIANS IN THE WEST PEDIMENT OF THE PARTHENON (PLATE 95) T HE IDENTIFICATION of the figuresin the west pedimentof the Parthenonhas long been problematic.I The evidencereadily enables us to reconstructthe composition of the pedimentand to identify its central figures.The subsidiaryfigures, however, are rath- er more difficult to interpret. I propose that those on the left side of the pediment may be identifiedas membersof the Athenian royal family, associatedwith the goddessAthena, and those on the right as membersof the Eleusinian royal family, associatedwith the god Posei- don. This alignment reflects the strife of the two gods on a heroic level, by referringto the legendary war between Athens and Eleusis. The recognition of the disjunctionbetween Athenians and Eleusinians and of parallelism and contrastbetween individualsand groups of figures on the pedimentpermits the identificationof each figure. The referenceto Eleusis in the pediment,moreover, indicates the importanceof that city and its majorcult, the Eleu- sinian Mysteries, to the Athenians. The referencereflects the developmentand exploitation of Athenian control of the Mysteries during the Archaic and Classical periods. This new proposalfor the identificationof the subsidiaryfigures of the west pedimentthus has critical I This article has its origins in a paper I wrote in a graduateseminar directedby ProfessorJohn Pollini at The Johns Hopkins University in 1979. I returned to this paper to revise and expand its ideas during 1986/1987, when I held the Jacob Hirsch Fellowship at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. In the summer of 1988, I was given a grant by the Committeeon Research of Tulane University to conduct furtherresearch for the article. -

Caitlin Mckevitt EFRT 449 Greek Mythology Lesson Plan Day 1
Caitlin McKevitt EFRT 449 Greek Mythology Lesson Plan Day 1 Discuss with the students Aphrodite, Apollo and Ares. Aphrodite o Family: As one of the twelve main gods, Aphrodite’s relatives and offspring appear in many well-known myths. Below are the beginnings of a chart of Aphrodite's family, including her children by various mortals and gods. Students can then use this chart to learn about Aphrodite and her family and to create a family tree for the goddess. Family Member Relation Uranus Father Zeus Father Dione Mother Erinyes Sisters Giants Brother/Sister Aeneas by Anchises Son Lyrus by Anchises Son Eros Son Priapus Son Harmonia by Ares Daughter o The Many Faces of Aphrodite: As the goddess of Love, Aphrodite has a reputation in ancient Greek texts as both a positive and a negative force. The anthropomorphic version of Aphrodite possesses all manner of allurements that can be both good and bad. Aphrodite could represent purity and what the Greeks considered the common act of sexual intercourse. Students should look at following primary text entries for Aphrodite and investigate the many aspects of Aphrodite’s “personality.” o Associated Items & Beings: A god or goddess alone is inadequately defined since the people, beings, animals and things associate with a god or goddess say a lot about them. Through visual aids and texts, students can learn about the whole god or goddess by the items, people, beings, animals, and things that accompany them or that are used in their exploits. o Epithets: The names of gods and goddesses are often accompanied by a finite number of traditional epithets that describe the personality or associations of the divinity. -

MA Students of English Language and Literature, Semnan University, Iran. Keywords: Dramatic monologue, Emotion, Psychoanalytic view, Robert Browning, Victorian poetry. ABSTRACT. One of the most effective literary devices within different didactic and aesthetic forms is the dramatic monologue. The dramatic monologue distinguishes the speaker’s character from that of the poet’s. The double meaning that lies at the heart of the dramatic monologue, conveys the speaker’s version or variety of meaning and intentions. The Dramatic monologue has been practiced for a very long time, but it was Robert browning who invested it with a deeper level of meaning giving it frequency in an attempt to support preexisting aesthetic values in favor of a poem that valued form over content. -

Dramatic Monologue: Defining the Genre
Abstract THROWN VOICES: A SERIES OF DRAMATIC MONOLOGUES, WITH A DISCUSSION OF THE GENRE by Matt Finch June 2010 Director: John Hoppenthaler Department of English This thesis examines the complex nature of the poetic genre of the dramatic monologue by providing multiple perspectives on the genre—namely, those of the literary critic and the creative writer. This thesis provides a selection of original dramatic monologues in various styles and featuring characters ranging from the prophet Jeremiah to a modern-day plastic surgeon, tied together by the theme of imaginatively filling in historical gaps and erasures with speakers in times of great political or cultural upheaval. Prefacing this collection of poems is a discussion of the genre of dramatic monologue, beginning with a general overview of the development and features of the genre, followed by a discussion of specific issues involved in writing this collection. ©Copyright 2010 Matt Finch A Thesis Presented To The Faculty of the Department of ENGLISH East Carolina University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Matt Finch June 2010 THROWN VOICES: A SERIES OF DRAMATIC MONOLOGUES, WITH A DISCUSSION OF THE GENRE by Matt Finch APPROVED BY: DIRECTOR of THESIS: ________________________________________ John Hoppenthaler, MFA COMMITTEE MEMBER: ____________________________________________________ E.
