This page intentionally left blank Preface This volume originated in a conference with the same title which the editors organized in Christ Church, Oxford, between 20 and 23 September 2006 in honour of Professor Peter Parsons’s seventieth birthday, which fell on 24 September. We are grateful to the Delegates of the Oxford University Press for accepting a proposal for a book based on the proceedings, and especially to Hilary O’Shea, who took an interest in the project from its inception. The conference assembled an international team of scholars who are either former pupils or colleagues of Peter Parsons, and who all share a deep respect for his work. The title of the conference, ‘Culture in Pieces’ (a quotation from the structuralist critic Roland Barthes), alluded to the problems of recon- stitution of tattered papyri and reconstruction of historical and cultural contexts from fragmentary evidence: other implications are discussed in Dirk Obbink’s essay. Many though not all contributors tackled specifically papyrological topics, but the general aim was more broadly conceived: to consider how the discovery of new evidence, especially new literary texts, has fertilized or enlarged the study of older evidence, either by setting the old in new light, or by enabling us to ask new questions. Many members of the Classics faculty attended, as did scholars and graduate students from Oxford and elsewhere. Some of the papers were attended by as many as eighty listeners. Time for discussion was allowed after each paper; Professor Parsons himself took an active part. It was obvious from the start that we could not invite all those who might wish to pay tribute to Peter Parsons, and no disrespect is intended to those whom we did not include in the original invitation. Some scholars whom we approached were unable to accept the invitation to speak, but joined us in person for the event or communicated their good wishes by post and email. One name deserves special mention. We had hoped that Sir Hugh Lloyd- Jones, Peter Parsons’s predecessor and long-term collaborator, might be able to play a part in celebrating his successor, but his state of health made this impossible. He was, however, aware of our plans and warmly approved of them. His death in October 2009 is a sad loss to scholarship. We must also record with deep regret the death of one of our contributors, Professor Colin Austin, who was responsible not only for his own chapter but for the dedicatory poem prefaced to the collection. For the delay in publication the editors must accept the responsibility. Our sluggishness has however meant that our contributors were in a position to cite texts published in P.Oxy. LXXIII (2009), a volume dedicated to Peter Parsons and John Rea, which includes editions of several new texts referred to viii Preface in the present volume. It also makes it possible for us to record with delight the award of not one but two prizes to our honorand for his book City of the Sharp-Nosed Fish: it received the John D. Criticos prize from the Hellenic Foundation in 2007 and the Classical Association Prize in 2008. The Introduction to this volume is new: Part I offers an account of Peter Parsons’s career and character, Part II describes the relation of the papers in this volume to his work and to one another, indicating thematic connections and recurring ideas running through the volume. Of the actual contributions to the conference, all but one appear here in revised and sometimes expanded form. The exception is the paper by Nick Gonis, on ‘Papyrology and Greek Poetry in Late Antiquity and Beyond’. We regret that due to the pressure of other commitments, Dr Gonis was unable to provide a version of this paper in a form which he felt would be worthy of the honorand. We hope that the results of his researches in this area will be published elsewhere in the near future. The volume also contains a complete bibliography of Peter Parsons’s publications to date: items published up to the summer of 2010 have been included. For financial support for the conference we are deeply grateful to the British Academy, the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies, the Faculty of Classics at Oxford, the Craven Committee, the Jowett Trust, and the Governing Body of Christ Church. For permission to reprint the photo- graph of Peter Parsons we thank the original photographer, Jane Bown. Finally, we owe a great debt to the skill and expertise of the Press, and (like so many others) to Dr Leofranc Holford-Strevens, a copy-editor without peer. D.O. R.B.R.

    A DIACHRONIC EXAMINATION OF THE ERECHTHEION AND ITS RECEPTION Alexandra L. Lesk, B.A., M.St. (Oxon.), M.A. Presented to McMicken College of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Classics of the University of Cincinnati in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2004 Committee: C. Brian Rose (Chair) Jack L. Davis Kathleen M. Lynch J. James Coulton Abstract iii ABSTRACT “A Diachronic Examination of the Erechtheion and Its Reception” examines the social life of the Ionic temple on the Athenian Akropolis, which was built in the late 5th century B.C. to house Athens’ most sacred cults and relics. Using a contextualized diachronic approach, this study examines both the changes to the Erechtheion between its construction and the middle of the 19th century A.D., as well as the impact the temple had on the architecture and art of these successive periods. This approach allows the evidence to shed light on new areas of interest such as the Post-Antique phases of the building, in addition to affording a better understanding of problems that have plagued the study of the Erechtheion during the past two centuries. This study begins with a re-examination of all the pertinent archaeological, epigraphical, and literary evidence, and proposes a wholly new reconstruction of how the Erechtheion worked physically and ritually in ancient times. After accounting for the immediate influence of the Erechtheion on subsequent buildings of the Ionic order, an argument for a Hellenistic rather than Augustan date for the major repairs to the temple is presented.

  • Mythic Metamorphosis: Re-Shaping Identity in the Works of H.D. Sarah Lewis Mitchem Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Virgin
    Mythic Metamorphosis: Re-shaping Identity in the Works of H.D. Sarah Lewis Mitchem Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Thomas Gardner, Chair Frederick M. D’Aguiar Paul Sorrentino April 13, 2007 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: H.D., Imagism, Mythic Metamorphoses, Asklepios Copyright (Optional) Mythic Metamorphosis: Re-shaping Identity in the Works of H.D. Sarah Lewis Mitchem Abstract In section fifteen of the poem The Walls Do Not Fall author Hilda Doolittle (H.D.) address her audience and articulates the purpose of the poet in the following lines: “we are the keepers of the secret,/ the carriers, the spinners/ of the rare intangible thread/ that binds all humanity/ to ancient wisdom,/ to antiquity;/…every concrete object/ has abstract value, is timeless/ in the dream parallel” (Trilogy 24). H.D. mined her own life for charged relationships which she then, through writing, connected to the mythic characters of antiquity whose tales embodied the same struggles she faced. Reading concrete objects as universal symbols which transcend time, her mind meshed the 20th century with previous cultures to create a nexus where the questions embedded in the human spirit are alive on multiple planes. The purpose of this research project is not to define her works as “successful” or “unsuccessful,” nor to weigh the works against each other in terms of “advancement.” Rather it is to describe the way she manipulates this most reliable of tools, mythic metamorphosis, in works stretching from her early Imagist poetry, through her long poem Trilogy, and finally into her last memoir End To Torment, taking note of the way she uses this tool to form beauty from harsh circumstances and help heal her shattered psyche.

  • 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.

  • Didactic Poetry: the Hellenistic Invention of a Pre-Existing Genre
    in Richard Hunter, Antonios Rengakos, and Evina Sistakou (eds.), Hellenistic Studies at a Crossroads: Exploring Texts, Contexts and Metatexts, Trends in Classics, Supplementary Volume 25 (Berlin 2014) David Sider Didactic poetry: The Hellenistic invention of a pre-existing genre For all that it is almost a cliché that Hellenistic poets were acutely aware of genre —who before Callimachus would or could have boasted of his πολυείδεια?—,¹ discussions, let alone definitions, of didactic poetry as a genre are scarce. Why bother, when it seems so obvious? Look at Aratus and Nicander, whose model was Hesiod, and nothing more need be said. Nonetheless, that will be my aim here. There have of course been many useful studies of classical didactic poetry,² some of which offer various classifications (see below); yet I have long felt that insufficient attention has been paid, both by the ancients themselves and by us today, to the development of the poems called didactic, although modern termi- nology and the ancients are not in complete agreement as to what constitutes a Bibliography at end. Some earlier poets did in fact write in more than one genre, but could have boasted of it only in particular terms, i.e., by specifying “I write poems of type X and Y,” as we see at the end of the Symposium 223d ὁμολογεῖναὐτοὺςτοῦαὐτοῦἀνδρὸςεἶναι κωμῳδίαν καὶ τραγῳδίαν ἐπίστασθαι ποιεῖν, καὶ τὸν τέχνῃ τραγῳδοποιὸν ὄντα <καὶ> κωμῳδοποιὸνεἶναι (“They agreed that the same man can know how to compose both comedy and tragedy, and that the skilled tragic poet is also a skilled writer of comedies”)—to which one can add that Plato has himself done this within this very dialogue, adding satyrography, as Bacon (1959) shows.

  • Aspasian Infidelities. on Aspasius' Philosophical Background (EN I)
    apeiron 2016; 49(2): 229–259 António Pedro Mesquita* Aspasian Infidelities. On Aspasius’ Philosophical Background (EN I) DOI 10.1515/apeiron-2015-0028 Abstract: The discussion on Aspasius’ philosophical background has benefited in recent years from a wide consensus. According to this consensus, Aspasius should be regarded as a Peripatetic, or even as an “orthodox Peripatetic” (Barnes’ phrase). It is true that Aspasius’ commentary is generally in tune with Aristotle. It is true that he shows an extensive knowledge of Aristotelian research pertinent for the discussions and that he uses Aristotelian concepts, principles, and doctrines with ease as if they were his own, thus denoting an old assimila- tion of those materials and a long accommodation to them. In a word, it is true that Aspasius is an Aristotelian. He is, however, as I will try to show in this paper, an Aristotelian strongly influenced by Stoicism. I will do so by selecting those points from Aspasius’ commentary on book I of the Nicomachean Ethics where the Stoic influence is most flagrantly evident, namely in his interpretation of art (τέχνη), his conception of continence and incontinence and, especially, his interpretation of the relation between happiness, virtue, and external goods in Aristotle. Keywords: Aspasius, Aristotelianism, Stoicism, happiness, virtue, external goods The Consensus The discussion on Aspasius’ philosophical background has benefited in recent years from a wide consensus. A good example of this consensus is the position Barnes sustains on the matter in his excellent “Introduction to Aspasius”, where he states the following1: Next, Aspasius’ philosophical position. Galen calls him a Peripatetic, and it is plain that his pupil taught Galen Peripatetic philosophy.

  • Post-Mortem Cesarean Section and Embryotomy: Myth, Medicine, and Gender in Greco-Roman Culture
    Pregledni ~lanak Acta med-hist Adriat 2013; 11(1);75-88 Review article UDK: 292:61(091) POST-MORTEM CESAREAN SECTION AND EMBRYOTOMY: MYTH, MEDICINE, AND GENDER IN GRECO-ROMAN CULTURE POSTMORTALNI CARSKI REZ I EMBRIOTOMIJA – MIT, MEDICINSKA ZNANOST I ROD U ANTIČKOJ KULTURI Maria do Sameiro Barroso1 Summary This article focuses on cesarean section carried out after the mother’s death to rescue the living infant and on embryotomy, a medical procedure to save the mother described as early as the Hippocratic writings (5th to 4th century B.C.) and practiced until the times of Paul of Aegina (7th century A.D). The available sources do not mention cesarean section on a living mother to save the infant. On the other side, writings on embryotomy state clearly that Greek and Roman physicians strove hard to save women’s lives. Written in ancient, male-centered societies, these texts convey an unequivocal positive attitude towards women, despite cur- rent misogynist assessments by philosophers and physicians who considered women inferior, based on their organic and biological features. Key words: medicine history, postmortem cesarean section, embryotomy, obstetrics, gender studies Postmortem cesarean delivery is portrayed as a funeral rite in Greek and Roman myths and literature, but there is no such reference in the medical texts of the Hippocratic Corpus (470-360) B.C.) or other sources. However, 1 Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Av. Berna, 26- CP 1069-061 Lisboa, Portugal.

But there is clear evidence of declaimers using their works to refer to the world outside the fiction, often to the immediate performance context, and above all to themselves. This paper examines examples from Aelius Aristides, Philostratus’ Lives of the Sophists, and Polemo, and shows that such a practice facilitated vigorous and eloquent communication, while also allowing for any external message to be plausibly denied.
