    Dialogue 20 The hero as mirror of men’s and women’s experiences. Key word: telos ‘coming full circle, rounding out, fulfillment, completion, ending, end; successfully passing through an ordeal; ritual, rite’. To be linked with another key word, athlos (aethlos) ‘contest, ordeal; competition’; derivative word: athlētēs ‘athlete’; related concepts are agōn ‘contest, ordeal; competition’ and ponos ‘pain’ [sharp, shooting pain] and kamatos ‘pain’ [dull, aching pain]. Note the beginning of the Hippolytus. At line 32, there is a reference to a sacred space in Athens where Aphroditē epi hippolutōi ‘Our Lady of Horses Unbridled’ is worshipped; this name contains the imagery of chariot-driving. Experiences that are ingredients for coming of age, initiation, rite of passage men’s experiences: song and dance, marriage; athletics; hunting, war women’s experiences: song and dance, marriage; athletics [mostly running]; menstruation, childbirth The underlinings indicate asymmetry from a modern point of view but symmetry from an ancient point of view. A) Euripides Hippolytus 73-87: For you, goddess, I bring this woven garland, culled from a virgin meadow, where it is not fit for the shepherd to pasture his flocks, nor has iron yet come there, but unspoiled still in springtime the bees fly through this meadow. Aidōs tends it with pure river water, and those who by their nature always use moderation [sōphrosunē] in all things, instead of having learned it, they can pick flowers, but it is not lawful [themis] for the kakos. Philē mistress, for your golden locks accept this headband from my reverent hand. I alone among mortals have this privilege: I keep company with you and make conversation, hearing your voice although not seeing your face.

  • On April 20Th, Dr. Anja Slaw
    “How fast does a city recover from destruction? A new view of the creation of the Severe Style” On April 20th, Dr. Anja Slawisch, a research fellow at University of Cambridge, presented her careful reconsideration of the transition from Archaic period to Classical period in art, especially in sculpture. I will first give some historical background and conventional understanding of this transition, and then elaborate on her argument. Conventionally, the sack of Athens during the Persian War in 480 BCE spurred the artistic development from austere Archaic style (see statues of Kleobis and Biton below1) to the Severe Style (see Harmodius and Aristogeiton, the tyrannicides2), and hence marks the transition from Archaic period into Classical period in art. The most important feature that sets severe style apart from the Archaic is a more naturalistic depiction of the human anatomy. For statues of the tyrannicides, the human bodies were made as an organic system - their pelves shift according to their stances, as opposed to the awkward posture of Kleobis and Biton. In this widely-accepted narrative, the destruction of Athens, heavily influencing the psyche of Athenians, stimulated these stark changes and inventions in artistic style. As a consequence, 480 BCE became a reference point for archaeologists in dating these statues according to their features. Statues of Kleobis and Biton Harmodius and Aristogeiton 1 Statues of Kleobis and Biton (identified by inscriptions on the base) dedicated to Delphi by the city of Argos, signed by ​ [Poly?]medes of Argos.

  • THE APOXYOMENOS of LYSIPPUS. in the Hellenic Journal for 1903
    THE APOXYOMENOS OF LYSIPPUS. IN the Hellenic Journal for 1903, while publishing some heads of Apollo, I took occasion to express my doubts as to the expediency of hereafter taking the Apoxyomenos as the norm of the works of Lysippus. These views, how- ever, were not expressed in any detail, and occurring at the end of a paper devoted to other matters, have not attracted much attention from archaeolo- gists. The subject is of great importance, since if my contention be justified, much of the history of Greek sculpture in the fourth century will have to be reconsidered. Being still convinced of the justice of the view which I took two years ago, I feel bound to bring it forward in more detail and with a fuller statement of reasons. Our knowledge of many of the sculptors of the fourth century, Praxiteles, Scopas, Bryaxis, Timotheus, and others, has been enormously enlarged during the last thirty years through our discovery of works proved by documentary evidence to have been either actually executed by them, or at least made under their direction. But in the case of Lysippus no such discovery was made until the very important identification of the Agias at Delphi as a copy of a statue by this master. Hitherto we had been content to take the Apoxyomenos as the best indication of Lysippic style ; and apparently few archaeologists realized how slender was the evidence on which its assignment to Lysippus was based. That assignment took place many years ago, when archaeological method was lax ; and it has not been subjected to sufficiently searching criticism.

  • Focus on Greek Sculpture
    Focus on Greek Sculpture Notes for teachers Greek sculpture at the Ashmolean • The classical world was full of large high quality statues of bronze and marble that honoured gods, heroes, rulers, military leaders and ordinary people. The Ashmolean’s cast collection, one of the best- preserved collections of casts of Greek and Roman sculpture in the UK, contains some 900 plaster casts of statues, reliefs and architectural sculptures. It is particularly strong in classical sculpture but also includes important Hellenistic and Roman material. Cast collections provided exemplary models for students in art academies to learn to draw and were used for teaching classical archaeology. • Many of the historical casts, some dating back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, are in better condition than the acid rain-damaged originals from which they were moulded. They are exact plaster replicas made, with piece moulds that leave distinctive seams on the surface of the cast. • The thematic arrangement of the Cast Gallery presents the contexts in which statues were used in antiquity; sanctuaries, tombs and public spaces.

  • How to Write History: Thucydides and Herodotus in the Ancient Rhetorical Tradition
    How to write history: Thucydides and Herodotus in the ancient rhetorical tradition A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Scott Kennedy, B.A., B.S. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Anthony Kaldellis, Adviser Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Will Batstone Copyright by Scott Kennedy 2018 Abstract Modern students of Thucydides and Herodotus may find it odd to think of them as rhetoricians. Yet in the ancient world, both historians (and especially Thucydides) played an important role in rhetorical schools. They were among the favorite authors of ancient teachers of rhetoric and served as foundational pillars of the ancient curriculum, providing themes for school exercises and even for such seminal texts as Hermogenes' theoretical treatises on rhetoric. Modern scholars might never read technical rhetorical texts such as Hermogenes. They almost certainly would never turn to Hermogenes and his kind to help them understand Thucydides or Herodotus. But for our ancient intellectual predecessors, such an approach would have been unconscionable, as ancient rhetoric was the theoretical lens with which they understood and appreciated historical writings. In this dissertation, I explore the confluence of rhetoric and historiography in the ancient world through an examination of how Herodotus and Thucydides were used in ancient schools and then by later historians. Chapter 1 and 2 outline how these historians were embedded and encoded within the rhetorical curriculum. In Chapter 1, I examine how Herodotus and Thucydides entered the rhetorical curriculum and how rhetors incorporated them into the rhetorical curriculum through an examination of the surviving progymnasmata, scholia, and pedagogical myths.

  • Kalokagathia: the Citizen Ideal in Classical Greek Sculpture
    Kalokagathia: The Citizen Ideal in Classical Greek Sculpture York H. Gunther and Sumetanee Bagna- Dulyachinda Introduction Nothing useless can be truly beautiful. — William Morris Through the Archaic (c. 750-508BCE) and into the Classical period (c. 508-323BCE), the Ancient Greeks created sculptures of human beings that became increasingly realistic. 1 The height of this realism came with ‘Kritian Boy’ (480BCE) and the magnificent ‘Charioteer of Delphi’ (c. 470BCE), sculptures that represent human beings in lifelike detail, proportion and style. The representation of muscles, flesh, joints and bone and the use of contrapposto in ‘Kritian Boy’ presents us with a youth frozen in time yet alive; while the meticulous attention to the minutiae of the face and feet as well as the free flowing tunic of the ‘Charioteer of Delphi’ presents us with a competitor focused while in motion. But within a generation, realism was abandoned for an idealism. Sculptors suddenly (seemingly) set out to depict the details and proportions of the human body with mathematical precision and deliberate exaggeration. Polykleitos’ ‘Spear Bearer’ (c. 450BCE) and the recently discovered ‘Riace Bronzes’ (c. York H. Gunther is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Program Director of the Humanities at Mahidol University International College, Thailand. Sumetanee ‘Marco’ Bagna-Dulyachinda is a recent graduate of Mahidol University International College, Thailand. 1 In identifying the end of the Archaic period and the beginning of the Classical period with the date 508BCE rather 480BCE as many historians do, we are emphasizing Cleisthenes’ democratic reforms (that followed Peististratus’ economic and social reforms), which emboldened the Athenians to, among other things, support the Ionian Greeks at the start of the Greco-Persian War.
