THEOCRITUS 142 CONCLUSION 147 BIBLIOGRAPHY 153 INTRODUCTION Helen of Troy, "the face that launched a thousand ships, the name that caused a thousand deaths," has fascinated the imagination of writers of all ages Cl], from Homer to the present day. Unlike other homeric women who exist primarily within the limits of Homer’s poems, Helen enjoyed a diverse prehistory as a saga heroine before she made her first appearance at the Scaean Gate in the third Book of the Iliad. C2] There is enough evidence to suggest th at Helen was originally a cult figure, a "faded goddess" who was later made into a mortal woman in the historical world C3]. The question of her nature, human or divine, has not yet been answered. One tradition makes her a goddess, daughter of Zeus and Nemesis or Oceanus and Tethys; another wants her entirely mortal, daughter of Leda and Tyndareus. According to the most widespread legend, she was semi-divine, product of Zeus’ erotic epiphany to Leda in swan form. Pausanias and Theocritus speak of sacred trees dedicated to her and provide evidence which indicates that Helen was at some point a vegetation goddess. Her worship throughout Greece reveals Helen as a figure of cult C4]. Even when she appears as a mortal it is usually suggested that she attained immortality 2 after her earthly death C53. Her immortality, however, is traditionally portrayed as a mixed blessing, sinister and beneficial at once. For example, together with her two brothers, the Dioscuri, she is presented as p ro tectress of mariners C63, but as daughter of Nemesis, according to the Hesiodic genealogy (Theo. 223ff.) she is also the niece of Doom, Death, Age, Strife and the three Fates. Thus, although she was known for her longevity and ageless beauty, she also exemplified the dangerous potential of a woman. The poet of the Cypria says that Zeus mated with Nemesis ê v $ lAotnt i and had Helen, BaOpa BpoTotoi, and these are the same words used by Hesiod for Pandora, the first woman, a beautiful evil which Zeus created as punishment for mankind and who by her sexual appeal distracted men from their noble pursuits (Theo 565-589). When Homer came to fashion Helen into the texture of his poem, he was apparently challenged by the mysterious shadow which surrounds her identity. Unable, perhaps, to resolve the enigma of her character, Homer incorporated the diverse elements of Helen’s legend into his two epics, thereby creating not only an ambiguous character but two different portraits of the same heroine, deliberately ambiguous and inconsistent with each other. Later authors, puzzled about the diversity of Helen's myth and Homer’s presentation, isolated or further developed specific aspects of her Homeric character in an attem pt to explain her nature and interpret the motivation of her actions. The issue of 3 Helen’s guilt has been a subject of continuous debate, and different historical periods have offered different assessments - ranging from fanatic hatred of ner as the archetypal adultress to sympathy and idealization of her beauty - usually depending upon their particular attitudes towards classicism, women, and moral and aesthetic values. Homer himself prompted this debate, first, by leaving open the question of Helen’s ultimate Judgment and possession in the Iliad and fu rth er, by restoring her to her royal status - enhanced with the promise of immortality - in the Qdusseu. One would expect th a t in the ancient Greek world, in particular, Helen, because of her role as the direct cause of the outbreak of the Trojan War, would be considered the cause of death and destruction. A study of the ancient literary sources, however, shows that actually the opposite is the case. Attacks on her character and conduct, it is true, are not completely absent in classical literature - no one forgets Aeschylus’ famous é&èvas, eAavfpos, eAenToRis (&g. 689)- but for the most part such attacks appear as sporadic expressions of pain and anger from the victims of the Trojan War. No author uses them to mount a full scale negative characterization of Helen. In spite of the great number of modern studies on Helen’s character and the various transformations C7J of her myth in classical literature, the positive view of Helen in antiquity has not been so far the subject of comprehensive discussion. It is generally accepted that Stesichorus and Euripides altered 4 her myth as to absolve her from culpability and Gorgias and Isocrates used rhetorical techniques to exculpate her and raise points in her favour. Modern scholarship, however, has not recognized the extent of the so-called "rehabilitation" of Helen. All ancient authors who undertook the task of presenting Helen and who turned her myth into literatu re not only did not present her as a wanton woman but they either evaded the moral issue of her actions or took it upon themselves to Justify them. The purpose of the present study, therefore, will be to examine all classical works th a t centered on Helen’s character and show th at for the ancient Greeks Helen was a figure beyond blame. Although her elopement with Paris and the Trojan War are unquestionably p arts of her legend, classical authors do not touch the issue of morality but they view Helen as the personification of female attraction and beauty, as an irresistible ideal whose pursuit and attainment entices men even when its presence threatens death and disaster. NOTES 1. Helen’s career in Western literature is beyond the scope of the present study. There is no doubt that her adventures were read in Western Europe in Latin through the works of Virgil, Ovid, Seneca and other authors even during the Middle Ages when Greek authors were not yet popular in the West, and that her beauty continued to fascinate authors in every literature such as Chaucer and Shakespeare (Troilus and Cressida). Goethe (Faust). Tennyson (Lucretius). Marlowe (Tragical Historu of Dr. Faustus). Giraudoux (La guerre de Troie n’ aura pas lieu, translated into English by C. Fry as "Tiger at the Gates"), and many others. 2. For the pre-homeric nature of Helen and cults associated with her, see, L. L. Clader, Helen: The Evolution from Divine to Heroic in Greek Eoic Tradition.

  • Sample Odyssey Passage
    The Odyssey of Homer Translated from Greek into English prose in 1879 by S.H. Butcher and Andrew Lang. Book I In a Council of the Gods, Poseidon absent, Pallas procureth an order for the restitution of Odysseus; and appearing to his son Telemachus, in human shape, adviseth him to complain of the Wooers before the Council of the people, and then go to Pylos and Sparta to inquire about his father. Tell me, Muse, of that man, so ready at need, who wandered far and wide, after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy, and many were the men whose towns he saw and whose mind he learnt, yea, and many the woes he suffered in his heart upon the deep, striving to win his own life and the return of his company. Nay, but even so he saved not his company, though he desired it sore. For through the blindness of their own hearts they perished, fools, who devoured the oxen of Helios Hyperion: but the god took from them their day of returning. Of these things, goddess, daughter of Zeus, whencesoever thou hast heard thereof, declare thou even unto us. Now all the rest, as many as fled from sheer destruction, were at home, and had escaped both war and sea, but Odysseus only, craving for his wife and for his homeward path, the lady nymph Calypso held, that fair goddess, in her hollow caves, longing to have him for her lord. But when now the year had come in the courses of the seasons, wherein the gods had ordained that he should return home to Ithaca, not even there was he quit of labours, not even among his own; but all the gods had pity on him save Poseidon, who raged continually against godlike Odysseus, till he came to his own country.

What is a good leader? As readers here and now, we can also ask critical Questions: What are the poem's blind spots? How does the poem encourage its audience to think and behave? Do the poem's ideas about a good society and a good leader have meaning today? The images below come from a series of collages and paintings by Romare Bearden (1911-1988). The Smithsonian Institution organized a bautiful exhibit of the series recently, and there is a good free app (showing many of the works and adding audio commentary) available for I phone and android; search for "A Black Odyssey" where you get apps. As our story begins ..... During his journey back to his home in Ithaca after the war at Troy, Odysseus is on the island of Calypso. Athena asks Zeus if Odysseus can come home to Ithaca. Zeus says yes, and sends Hermes to tell Calypso that Odysseus needs to come home. Calypso lets Odysseus build a raft and he departs. This is only possible because ....

Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another. And which of the gods was it that set them on to quarrel? It was the son of Jove and Leto; for he was angry with the king and sent a pestilence upon the host to plague the people, because the son of Atreus had dishonoured Chryses his priest. Now Chryses had come to the ships of the Achaeans to free his daughter, and had brought with him a great ransom: moreover he bore in his hand the sceptre of Apollo wreathed with a suppliant's wreath and he besought the Achaeans, but most of all the two sons of Atreus, who were their chiefs. "Sons of Atreus," he cried, "and all other Achaeans, may the gods who dwell in Olympus grant you to sack the city of Priam, and to reach your homes in safety; but free my daughter, and accept a ransom for her, in reverence to Apollo, son of Jove." On this the rest of the Achaeans with one voice were for respecting the priest and taking the ransom that he offered; but not so Agamemnon, who spoke fiercely to him and sent him roughly away.

Wise, 1971), The Poseidon Adventure (dir. Neame, 1972), Black Narcissus (dir. Powell, 1947) – or else recreate episodes from classical mythology. Jon Solomon estimates that there have been over eighty mythological movies made by American and European film studios to date, proving that movie producers are keen to mine the depths of classical myth for screen materials (Solomon 2001:101). The release of films like Disney’s animated feature Hercules (dir. Clements and Musker, 1997) and the blockbuster Troy (dir. Petersen, 2004) demonstrates that Greek mythology continues to play a significant role in the construction of ancient history in mass popular culture. As Martin Winkler puts it: Ancient myths and archetypes recurring in films attest to the vitality of our own cultural tradition. Retellings of classical stories on film show that filmmakers have used the ancient material consciously in order to comment on their own times or that they unconsciously reflect cultural trends.

  • On History and Political Thought in Homer's Iliad, with a Focus on Books
    Defining Politics: On History and Political Thought in Homer’s Iliad, With a Focus on Books 1-9 by Andrew M. Gross A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Andrew M. Gross 2017 Defining Politics: On History and Political Thought in Homer’s Iliad, With a Focus on Books 1-9 Andrew M. Gross Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2017 ii Abstract The Iliad is a work of great literary complexity that contains profound insights and a wide- ranging account of the human condition. Some of the most important recent scholarly work on the poem has also emphasized the political dimension of Homer’s account. In this dissertation, I aim to contribute to our understanding of the Iliad as a work of political thought. Focusing on books 1 through 9 of the Iliad, I will try to show how we can discover in it a consistent chronological or historical account, even though at many points that history is not presented in a linear way, in the poem itself. Through various references we are able to discern an historical account of the entire cosmic order. Homer focuses on the newly established Olympian gods and, therewith, their need to enforce the crucial separation between themselves and human beings: that is, between their own status as immortals, and our condition as mortals. Homer’s history of the Trojan War, in turn, conveys crucial lessons about politics and the human condition. The dissertation traces the history of the war as it emerged from a private struggle and developed into a public war.

  • Reading the Rise of Pisistratus: Herodotus .- 
    Histos () - READING THE RISE OF PISISTRATUS: HERODOTUS .- Especially Sophocles and Herodotus were passionately interested in the manifold aspects of ‘power’, which they interpreted through myth and his- tory, using these in their full topical potential to analyze questions of great importance to their audiences. This paper analyzes Herodotus’ story of Pisistratus’ rise to tyranny over the Athenians in these terms. The story is mythic history in the sense that it is largely made up of conventional narrative episodes, sometimes with su- pernatural elements. Yet the contexts of power in which Herodotus sets it determine its shape, and the contextual reading of the story reveals allusions to contemporary debates and realities. This contextual analysis seems more productive than attempts to explain the story in isolation as the product of Athenian propaganda in a narrow sense. The immediate context for the story of the rise of Pisistratus and of the rise of Sparta that partners it is the comparison of their ancestral power. He- rodotus investigates their origins and their power in the time of Croesus, comparing the Athenians under tyranny with the Spartans under Lycurgan eunomia . Croesus in his search for the ‘most powerful’ of the Greeks as his ally against Persia found out that Athens and Sparta were from their origins leaders respectively of the Ionians and the Dorians (..), but that their I am grateful to the Histos team for detailed comments and practical suggestions on presentation. Raaflaub () , also -. Gray () touches on the question of a standard typology of the tyrant, arguing that the profile of any one tyrant is dictated by the context in which he is presented.
