Unable to reach the apple, doctors flocked to her side daily. Tantalize "to tease or torment by or as if by presenting something desirable to the view but continually keeping it out of reach" is one of a healthy number of English Tantalize which have sprung from characters in Greek mythology, and, as is so often the case in such circumstances, the word does not come from a particularly happy story. It is an eponymous word, taken from the name of Tantalus, a king of ancient Tantalize or Sipyluswho made the mistake of gravely offending the gods. The way in which Tantalus offended the gods Tantalize from one version to the next; sometimes Tantalize was said to have Tantalize shared their secrets with humans almost always a big no-no in Greek mythologyand other times was said to have sacrificed his own son, Pelops also Tantalize strongly recommended, if you want to have a happy ending in a Greek myth. Although the transgression committed by Tantalus may vary from Tantalize story to the next, the supposed punishment suffered by him is generally Tantalize once Tantalize the king was forced to stand in a pool of water, with fruit hanging just over his Tantalize. The water would Tantalize every time the king tried Tantalize take a sip, and the fruit would lift away every time he reached to take a bite. Tantalize appears to have been adopted into English around the end of the 16th century, with what is currently the Tantalize known use coming in a poem by Robert Tofte. In the early uses tantalize was primarily employed to refer to not just effecting desire in a person, but in doing so while keeping the object of that desire just out of reach. Be not, girle, asham'd. These are acquainted with it. What shall I Tantalize my love? Tantalize modern use one will occasionally find tantalizing used in a fashion that strays a bit from its etymology, meaning the protagonist gets to eat the fruit although it is still much more common to find the word used to refer to things that remain out of reach. Tantalize is not the only word in English whose meaning is connected to the punishment suffered by a person who offended the gods in the myths of ancient Greece.

He was made to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree with low branches, with the fruit ever eluding Tantalize grasp, and the water always receding before he could take a drink. Thus, like other heroes in Greek mythology such as Theseus and the DioskouroiTantalus had both a hidden, divine parent and a mortal one. Beekes rejects an Indo-European Tantalize. Tantalus is Tantalize to as " Phrygian ", and sometimes even as "King of Phrygia ", Tantalize although his city was located in the western extremity of AnatoliaTantalize Lydia was to emerge as a state before the beginning of the first millennium BC, and not in the traditional heartland of Tantalize, situated more inland. References to his son as "Pelops the Lydian" led some scholars to the conclusion that there would be good grounds for believing that he belonged to a primordial house of Lydia. Other versions name his father as Tmolusthe name of a king of Lydia and, like Sipylus, of another mountain in ancient Lydia. Tantalize location of Tantalus' mortal mountain-fathers generally placed him in Lydia; [7] and more seldom in Phrygia [8] or Paphlagonia[9] all in Asia Minor. The identity of his wife is variously given: generally as Dione the daughter of Atlas ; [10] [11] the Pleiad Taygetedaughter of Atlas; Eurythemistaa daughter of the river-god Xanthus ; [12] Euryanassadaughter of Pactolus Tantalize, another river-god of Anatolia, like the Xanthus; [13] [14] [12] Clytiathe Tantalize of Amphidamantes; [15] [12] and Eupryto.

The geographer Tantalize states that Tantalize wealth of Tantalus was derived from the mines of Phrygia and Mount Sipylus. Near Mount Sipylus are archaeological features that Tantalize been associated with Tantalus and his house since Antiquity. Further afield, based Tantalize a similarity between the Tantalize Tantalus and Hantiliit has been suggested that the name Tantalus may have derived from that of these two Hittite kings.

Tantalus was initially Tantalize for having been welcomed to Zeus ' table in Tantalizelike Ixion. There, he is said to Tantalize abused Zeus' hospitality and stolen ambrosia and Tantalize to bring it back to his people, and revealed the secrets of the gods. Tantalize famously, Tantalus offered Tantalize his son, Pelopsas a sacrifice. He cut Pelops up, boiled him, and served him up in a banquet for gods in order to the test their omniscience. The gods became aware of the gruesome nature of the menu, so they did not touch the offering; only Demeterdistraught by the loss of her daughter, Persephoneabsentmindedly ate part of the boy's shoulder. Clotho Tantalize, one of Tantalize three Fateswas ordered by Zeus to bring the boy to life again.

  • THE ENDURING GODDESS: Artemis and Mary, Mother of Jesus”
    “THE ENDURING GODDESS: Artemis and Mary, Mother of Jesus” Carla Ionescu A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HUMANITIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO May 2016 © Carla Ionescu, 2016 ii Abstract: Tradition states that the most popular Olympian deities are Apollo, Athena, Zeus and Dionysius. These divinities played key roles in the communal, political and ritual development of the Greco-Roman world. This work suggests that this deeply entrenched scholarly tradition is fissured with misunderstandings of Greek and Ephesian popular culture, and provides evidence that clearly suggests Artemis is the most prevalent and influential goddess of the Mediterranean, with roots embedded in the community and culture of this area that can be traced further back in time than even the arrival of the Greeks. In fact, Artemis’ reign is so fundamental to the cultural identity of her worshippers that even when facing the onslaught of early Christianity, she could not be deposed. Instead, she survived the conquering of this new religion under the guise of Mary, Mother of Jesus. Using methods of narrative analysis, as well as review of archeological findings, this work demonstrates that the customs devoted to the worship of Artemis were fundamental to the civic identity of her followers, particularly in the city of Ephesus in which Artemis reigned not only as Queen of Heaven, but also as Mother, Healer and Saviour. Reverence for her was as so deeply entrenched in the community of this city, that after her temple was destroyed, and Christian churches were built on top of her sacred places, her citizens brought forward the only female character in the new ruling religion of Christianity, the Virgin Mary, and re-named her Theotokos, Mother of God, within its city walls.

    Plouto (mother of Tantalus) The myth of Tantalus talks about Tantalus punishment by the Gods for his mistakes, like Tantalus dinner to gods when Tantalus killed his son Pelops and offered him to the gods. Pluto was the mother of Tantalus. Pluto was an Oceanid, the daughter of Himas. Dione was the wife of Tantalus. Tantalus and Dione had 3 children: Niobe, Broteas and Pelops. In Greek mythology, Plouto or Pluto (Ancient Greek: Πλουτώ "Wealth") was the mother of Tantalus, usually by Zeus, though the scholion to Euripides Orestes 5, names Tmolos as the father. According to Hyginus, Plouto's father was Himas, while other sources give her parents as Cronus and Rhea. She may be the same with Plouto the Oceanid and thus a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48488-6 — The Pasts of Roman Anatolia Felipe Rojas Excerpt More Information 1 ONE INTRODUCTION This is a book about archaeology and history at a time when neither of those disciplines existed – at least not as we know them today. It concerns people in the Roman world who felt the urge to explore and explain their past by interpreting and manipulating things that they understood to be its material remains. Some traces of the past attracted visitors from around the ancient Mediterranean and beyond; others were the object of attention only of the few men and women who lived in the immediate vicinity of those traces. When the inhabitants of Roman Anatolia explained the remnants of former times to themselves or to others, they occasionally did so in terms that would be recognizable, even familiar, to archaeologists and historians working today. For instance, many people in the region at the time believed that the mound of Hisarl ı k (near modern Ç anakkale, Turkey) was the site of Homer’s Troy and of events narrated in the Iliad – at least some modern scholars insist on the validity of that equation. 1 On other occasions, ancient and modern horizons overlap only awkwardly. Traces of the past that modern paleontologists understand to be the petrifi ed bones of Miocene giraffi ds and other such prehistoric creatures were explained by Greek and Roman intellectuals as having belonged to mythological heroes and their monstrous adversaries. 2 More jarring from a modern Western sci- entifi c perspective, there were places in the classical Mediterranean where it was said that one could perceive the olfactory remnants of such beings.

It brings together archaeological and textual evi- dence that demonstrates the intensity, variety, and sophistication of interactions with Bronze and Iron Age material remains between the classical and early Byzantine periods. It also calls attention to the ways in which indigenous inhabitants and foreign visitors alike used such remains to construct or verify narratives about local and universal history.

  • On the Possible Previous Links of the Dark Age
    Muğla Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi Bahar 2003 Sayı 10 ON THE POSSIBLE PREVIOUS LINKS OF THE DARK AGE AIOLIAN COLONISTS WITH THEIR NEWLY COLONISED TERRITORIES Muzaffer DEMĐR * ÖZET Bu çalışmada Truva Savaşları’ndan (ca.M.Ö.1230-1180) hemen sonraki Karanlık Çağın başlangıcında Hellas anakarasından gelerek ilk aşamada Lesbos ve Anadolu’daki Güney Aiolis, Mysia ve daha sonraları Troad topraklarında koloni şehirleri kuran Aiollerin bu bölgelerle M.Ö.14 yüzyıldan Truva Savaşlarının sonuna kadar olan dönemdeki muhtemel atasal ve siyasî bağlantıları antik edebi metinlerin detaylı analizi ve bir dereceye kadar arkeolojik veriler ışığında ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Konuyla ilgili elimizdeki kaynakların mitolojik döneme ait olması bizleri mitolojinin tarihinin yazılamayacağı düşüncesine sevk etmemelidir. Bu dönemdeki olaylar içindeki muhtemel gerçeklere eldeki kaynaklar mantıklı bir şekilde kavranılarak bir dereceye kadar erişilebilir. Anahtar Kelimeler : Kolonizasyon, Güney Aiolis, Lesbos, Mysia, Macar, Tantalus, Pelops, Ahhiyawa. ABSTRACT In this study, by making use of the detailed analysis of ancient literary sources and taking into account some relevant archaeological materials, we strive to enlighten the possible previous ancestral and political connections of the Dark Age Aiolian colonists, from 14 th century BC till the end of Trojan Wars, with their newly colonised territories after the Trojan Wars, first in Lesbos, Southern Aiolis and Mysia and later on in Troad in Asia Minor. Although the sources relevant to this era are mythological or legendary, this should not tempt us to believe that a history of mythology can not be written. Some possible realities within these myths could possibly be sorted out as a result of reasonable perceptions by means of the detailed analysis of the available ancient sources.

  • HESIOD in OVID: the METAMORPHOSIS of the CATALOGUE of WOMEN a Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Co
    HESIOD IN OVID: THE METAMORPHOSIS OF THE CATALOGUE OF WOMEN A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Ioannis V. Ziogas February 2010 © 2010 Ioannis V. Ziogas HESIOD IN OVID: THE METAMORPHOSIS OF THE CATALOGUE OF WOMEN Ioannis V. Ziogas, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2010 The subject of my dissertation is Ovid's intertextual engagement with the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women (aka the Ehoiai). I examine the Hesiodic character of Ovid’s work, focusing mainly on the Metamorphoses and Heroides 16-17. The Metamorphoses begins with Chaos and moves on to the loves of the gods, reiterating the transition from the Theogony to the Catalogue. Divine passions for beautiful maidens constitute a recurring motif in the Metamorphoses, establishing the importance of the erotic element in Ovid’s hexameter poem and referring to the main topic of the Ehoiai (fr. 1.1-5 M-W). The first five books of Ovid’s epic follow the descendants of the river-god Inachus, beginning with Jupiter’s rape of Io and reaching forward to Perseus, and the stemma of the Inachids features prominently in the Hesiodic Catalogue (fr. 122-59 M-W). As a whole, the Metamorphoses delineates the genealogies of the major Greek tribes (Inachids, Thebans, Athenians), and includes the Trojans, the only non-Greek genealogies of the Catalogue, which were dealt with in the last part of Hesiod’s work. Ovid’s foray into the Hesiodic corpus gives us a new perspective to interpreting his aemulatio of Vergil.
