  • From the Odyssey, Part 1: the Adventures of Odysseus
    from The Odyssey, Part 1: The Adventures of Odysseus Homer, translated by Robert Fitzgerald ANCHOR TEXT | EPIC POEM Archivart/Alamy Stock Photo Archivart/Alamy This version of the selection alternates original text The poet, Homer, begins his epic by asking a Muse1 to help him tell the story of with summarized passages. Odysseus. Odysseus, Homer says, is famous for fighting in the Trojan War and for Dotted lines appear next to surviving a difficult journey home from Troy.2 Odysseus saw many places and met many the summarized passages. people in his travels. He tried to return his shipmates safely to their families, but they 3 made the mistake of killing the cattle of Helios, for which they paid with their lives. NOTES Homer once again asks the Muse to help him tell the tale. The next section of the poem takes place 10 years after the Trojan War. Odysseus arrives in an island kingdom called Phaeacia, which is ruled by Alcinous. Alcinous asks Odysseus to tell him the story of his travels. I am Laertes’4 son, Odysseus. Men hold me formidable for guile5 in peace and war: this fame has gone abroad to the sky’s rim. My home is on the peaked sea-mark of Ithaca6 under Mount Neion’s wind-blown robe of leaves, in sight of other islands—Dulichium, Same, wooded Zacynthus—Ithaca being most lofty in that coastal sea, and northwest, while the rest lie east and south. A rocky isle, but good for a boy’s training; I shall not see on earth a place more dear, though I have been detained long by Calypso,7 loveliest among goddesses, who held me in her smooth caves to be her heart’s delight, as Circe of Aeaea,8 the enchantress, desired me, and detained me in her hall.

  • Apollonius of Rhodes Argonautica Book 3, Translated by Robert Cooper Seaton, Harvard University Press, Cambridge MA, 1912
    Apollonius of Rhodes Argonautica book 3, translated by Robert Cooper Seaton, Harvard University Press, Cambridge MA, 1912. (http://oaks.nvg.org/sa4ra16.html#tres) Come Now, Erato, stand by my side, and say next how Jason brought back the fleece to Iolcus aided by the love of Medea. For you share the power of Cypris, and by your love-cares charm unwedded maidens; wherefore to you too is attached a name that tells of love. Thus the heroes, unobserved, were waiting in ambush amid the thick reed-beds; but Hera and Athena took note of them, and, apart from Zeus and the other immortals, entered a chamber and took counsel together; and Hera first made trial of Athena: "Do you now first, daughter of Zeus, give advice. What must be done? Will you devise some scheme whereby they may seize the golden fleece of Aeetes and bear it to Hellas, or can they deceive the king with soft words and so work persuasion? Of a truth he is terribly overweening. Still it is right to shrink from no endeavour." Thus she spoke, and at once Athena addressed her: "I too was pondering such thoughts in my heart, Hera, when you did ask me outright. But not yet do I think that I have conceived a scheme to aid the courage of the heroes, though I have balanced many plans." She ended, and the goddesses fixed their eyes on the ground at their feet, brooding apart; and straightway Hera was the first to speak her thought: "Come, let us go to Cypris; let both of us accost her and urge her to bid her son (if only he will obey) speed his shaft at the daughter of Aeetes, the enchantress, and charm her with love for Jason.

Epigtoaphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 1996 (EBGR 1996) The ninth issue of the BEGR contains only part of the epigraphie harvest of 1996; unforeseen circumstances have prevented me and my collaborators from covering all the publications of 1996, but we hope to close the gaps next year. We have also made several additions to previous issues. In the past years the BEGR had often summarized publications which were not primarily of epigraphie nature, thus tending to expand into an unavoidably incomplete bibliography of Greek religion. From this issue on we return to the original scope of this bulletin, whieh is to provide information on new epigraphie finds, new interpretations of inscriptions, epigraphieal corpora, and studies based p;imarily on the epigraphie material. Only if we focus on these types of books and articles, will we be able to present the newpublications without delays and, hopefully, without too many omissions.

  • Antigone by Sophocles Scene 4, Ode 4, Scene 5, Paean and Exodos
    Antigone by Sophocles Scene 4, Ode 4, Scene 5, Paean and Exodos By: Anmol Singh, Kesia Santos, and Yuri Seo Biographical, Cultural, and Historical Background The Greek Theater - Sophocles was one of the prominent figures in Greek theater. - Plays were performed in outdoor areas. - There were a limited number of actors and a chorus.6 - Antigone was mostly likely performed in the same fashion. AS Family Tree YS What do Scene 4, Ode 4, Scene 5, Paean and Exodos of Antigone focus on? - Family Conflict (internal and external) - Death (tragedy) - Poor judgment - Feeling and thinking - Fate - Loyalty - Love YS Genres & Subgenres Tragedy - Not completely like modern tragedies (ex. sad & gloomy). - Tragedies heavily used pathos (Greek for suffering). - Used masks and other props. - Were a form of worship to Dionysus.7 AS Tragic Hero - Antigone and Creon are both like tragic heros. - Each have their own hamartia which leads to their downfalls.8,9 AS Family Conflict & Tragedy in Antigone - Antigone hangs herself - Haimon stabs himself - Eurydice curses Creon and blames him for everything - Eurydice kills herself YS Dominant Themes Family: The story of Niobe - Antigone relates her story to the story of Niobe. - Antigone says “How often have I hear the story of Niobe, Tantalus’s wretched daughter…” (18) - Chorus tells Antigone that Niobe “was born of heaven,” but Antigone is a woman. YS Womanhood - Antigone defies the place a woman is supposed to have during this time period - Antigone and Ismene contrast each other - Creon is the prime example of the beliefs that males hold during this period KS Power and Corruption: Dryas and Lycurgus - A character the chorus compares to Antigone is Lycurgus.

  • Summary Ng from the Homecomi Homer Od from the Not Recognize His Father
    Name Date from the ODYSSEY: PART 2 Summary THE HomecomiNG FROM THE ODYSSEY Homer Setting: Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, possibly around 1200 B.C. Book 16: Odysseus returns home dressed as a beggar. He meets Eumaeus, the faithful swineherd. Then he sees his son, Telemachus. Telemachus does not recognize his father. When Odysseus removes the disguise, Telemachus thinks he is a god. Finally, Telemachus recognizes his father. Father and son weep to be together again. Book 17: Odysseus returns to his palace still disguised as a beggar. Outside, he sees his dog, Argus, who has been treated badly while he was gone. Odysseus is angered by the dog’s poor condition. Book 21: Odysseus discovers that many suitors are at the palace. They want to marry Penelope. She has given up hope that Odysseus will return. She plans a contest. She will marry the winner. The men must string Odysseus’ bow. Then they must shoot an arrow through the holes in 12 ax heads. No one can string the bow. Still dressed as a beggar, Odysseus completes both tasks. Book 22: Odysseus takes off his disguise. He kills Antinous, the leader of the suitors. The remaining suitors decide they must fight with Odysseus. Telemachus and two servants join Odysseus in the fight. With the help of these men and Athena, Odysseus kills all the suitors. Book 23: Penelope is not sure the man is really Odysseus.

    Virgil, Aeneid 11 (Pallas & Camilla) 1–224, 498–521, 532–96, 648–89, 725–835 G Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and commentary ILDENHARD INGO GILDENHARD AND JOHN HENDERSON A dead boy (Pallas) and the death of a girl (Camilla) loom over the opening and the closing part of the eleventh book of the Aeneid. Following the savage slaughter in Aeneid 10, the AND book opens in a mournful mood as the warring parti es revisit yesterday’s killing fi elds to att end to their dead. One casualty in parti cular commands att enti on: Aeneas’ protégé H Pallas, killed and despoiled by Turnus in the previous book. His death plunges his father ENDERSON Evander and his surrogate father Aeneas into heart-rending despair – and helps set up the foundati onal act of sacrifi cial brutality that caps the poem, when Aeneas seeks to avenge Pallas by slaying Turnus in wrathful fury. Turnus’ departure from the living is prefi gured by that of his ally Camilla, a maiden schooled in the marti al arts, who sets the mold for warrior princesses such as Xena and Wonder Woman. In the fi nal third of Aeneid 11, she wreaks havoc not just on the batt lefi eld but on gender stereotypes and the conventi ons of the epic genre, before she too succumbs to a premature death. In the porti ons of the book selected for discussion here, Virgil off ers some of his most emoti ve (and disturbing) meditati ons on the tragic nature of human existence – but also knows how to lighten the mood with a bit of drag.

These are the last lines of the farewell speech of Jason to Hypsipyle. Jason has just said that it is enough for him to dwell in his native land, but that if he is not destined to return home and if she bear a son, then ' send him, etc.' There are two difficulties in the passage: (1) Who is meant by rolo avaKroi, Pelias or Jason ? Critics differ in opinion. The Greek is rather in favour of Pelias, who is mentioned six lines before. On the other hand, the sense is better if the expression is referred to Jason, in whose absence the son of Hypsipyle will tend his grandparents.
