  • 'Gut-Madness': Gastrimargia in Plato and Beyond
    ‘GUT-MADNESS’: GASTRIMARGIA IN PLATO AND BEYOND Judy Stove (University of New South Wales) The classical Greeks’ and Romans’ ethical systems focused heavily on virtues, that is to say, on good human attributes. Human vices, in fact, always received much more thorough treatment from Christian writers than pagan writers gave them. Our very notion of a vice is heavily influenced by Christian views of sin. This should not overshadow the fact that pagan writers dealt, to some extent, with habits or actions which later entered the canon of vices or sins (for example, Aristotle in the work commonly called Virtues and Vices). My topic is gastrimargia: the bad habit which, in Greek, means ‘gut-madness’, and which came to be translated as gula in Latin and gluttony in English. Overeating and its visible outcome, obesity, are receiving, in our society, a high level of attention, both official and individual. Yet, to state the obvious, overeating (like drinking too much alcohol) is not something unprecedented in earlier societies. Perhaps not so obviously, it was a feature even of societies of the distant past, in times which we might think were insufficiently wealthy to allow it. Gastrimargia represented, of course, one of those bodily desires the denial of which was critical to both pagan and Christian virtue. In fact, the very commonness of the habit may have been the reason why it seems to have assumed quite an important role in some ethical discussions. Gastrimargia features in two key dialogues of Plato. The first I want to discuss appears in the Phaedo.It is easy to forget how very ascetic Plato makes Socrates, in this dialogue.

  • The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts
    THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans.

  • Aristippus and Xenophon As Plato's Contemporary Literary Rivals and The
    E-LOGOS – Electronic Journal for Philosophy 2015, Vol. 22(2) 4–11 ISSN 1211-0442 (DOI 10.18267/j.e-logos.418),Peer-reviewed article Journal homepage: e-logos.vse.cz Aristippus and Xenophon as Plato’s contemporary literary rivals and the role of gymnastikè (γυμναστική) Konstantinos Gkaleas1 Abstrakt: Plato was a Socrates’ friend and disciple, but he wasn’t the only one. No doubt, Socrates had many followers, however, the majority of their work is lost. Was there any antagonism among his followers? Who succeeded in interpreting Socrates? Who could be considered as his successor? Of course, we don’t know if these questions emerged after the death of Socrates, but the Greek doxography suggests that there was a literary rivalry. As we underlined earlier, most unfortunately, we can’t examine all of them thoroughly due to the lack of their work, but we can scrutinize Xenophon’s and Aristippus’ work. All of them, Plato, Xenophon and Aristippus, presented to a certain extent their ideas concerning education. Furthermore, they have not neglected the matter of gymnastikè, but what is exactly the role of physical education in their work? Are there any similarities or any differences between them? Since, Xenophon and Aristippus (as well as Plato) seem to be in favor of gymnastikè, it is necessary to understand its role. Keywords: gymnastikè, Plato, Socrates, Xenophon, Aristippus. 1 Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, 12 place du Panthéon, 75231 Paris Cedex 05, France, [email protected] Volume 22 | Number 02 | 2015 E-LOGOS – ELECTRONIC JOURNAL FOR PHILOSOPHY 4 Plato is a prominent thinker, whose influence on philosophy is an incontestable fact.

  • 1 Reading Athenaios' Epigraphical Hymn to Apollo: Critical Edition And
    Reading Athenaios’ Epigraphical Hymn to Apollo: Critical Edition and Commentaries DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Corey M. Hackworth Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Fritz Graf, Advisor Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Carolina López-Ruiz 1 Copyright by Corey M. Hackworth 2015 2 Abstract This dissertation is a study of the Epigraphical Hymn to Apollo that was found at Delphi in 1893, and since attributed to Athenaios. It is believed to have been performed as part of the Athenian Pythaïdes festival in the year 128/7 BCE. After a brief introduction to the hymn, I provide a survey and history of the most important editions of the text. I offer a new critical edition equipped with a detailed apparatus. This is followed by an extended epigraphical commentary which aims to describe the history of, and arguments for and and against, readings of the text as well as proposed supplements and restorations. The guiding principle of this edition is a conservative one—to indicate where there is uncertainty, and to avoid relying on other, similar, texts as a resource for textual restoration. A commentary follows, which traces word usage and history, in an attempt to explore how an audience might have responded to the various choices of vocabulary employed throughout the text. Emphasis is placed on Athenaios’ predilection to utilize new words, as well as words that are non-traditional for Apolline narrative. The commentary considers what role prior word usage (texts) may have played as intertexts, or sources of poetic resonance in the ears of an audience.

LEVEN Yale University* Abstract: Scholarship on the late fifth-century BC New Music Revolution has mostly relied on the evidence provided by Athenaeus, the pseudo-Plutarch De musica and a few other late sources. To this date, however, very little has been done to understand Athenaeus’ own role in shaping our understanding of the musical culture of that period. This article argues that the historical context provided by Athenaeus in the section of the Deipnosophistae that cites passages of Melanippides, Telestes and Pratinas on the mythology of the aulos (14.616e−617f) is not a credible reflection of the contemporary aesthetics and strategies of the authors and their works.

Atkins An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classical Studies in the Graduate School of Duke University 2019 Copyright by David William Frierson Stifler 2019 Abstract This dissertation investigates ancient language ideologies constructed by Greek and Latin writers of the second and third centuries CE, a loosely-connected movement now generally referred to the Second Sophistic. It focuses on Lucian of Samosata, a Syrian “barbarian” writer of satire and parody in Greek, and especially on his works that engage with language-oriented topics of contemporary relevance to his era. The term “language ideologies”, as it is used in studies of sociolinguistics, refers to beliefs and practices about language as they function within the social context of a particular culture or set of cultures; prescriptive grammar, for example, is a broad and rather common example. The surge in Greek (and some Latin) literary output in the Second Sophistic led many writers, with Lucian an especially noteworthy example, to express a variety of ideologies regarding the form and use of language.

  • Euripides and Gender: the Difference the Fragments Make
    Euripides and Gender: The Difference the Fragments Make Melissa Karen Anne Funke A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Ruby Blondell, Chair Deborah Kamen Olga Levaniouk Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2013 Melissa Karen Anne Funke University of Washington Abstract Euripides and Gender: The Difference the Fragments Make Melissa Karen Anne Funke Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Ruby Blondell Department of Classics Research on gender in Greek tragedy has traditionally focused on the extant plays, with only sporadic recourse to discussion of the many fragmentary plays for which we have evidence. This project aims to perform an extensive study of the sixty-two fragmentary plays of Euripides in order to provide a picture of his presentation of gender that is as full as possible. Beginning with an overview of the history of the collection and transmission of the fragments and an introduction to the study of gender in tragedy and Euripides’ extant plays, this project takes up the contexts in which the fragments are found and the supplementary information on plot and character (known as testimonia) as a guide in its analysis of the fragments themselves. These contexts include the fifth- century CE anthology of Stobaeus, who preserved over one third of Euripides’ fragments, and other late antique sources such as Clement’s Miscellanies, Plutarch’s Moralia, and Athenaeus’ Deipnosophistae. The sections on testimonia investigate sources ranging from the mythographers Hyginus and Apollodorus to Apulian pottery to a group of papyrus hypotheses known as the “Tales from Euripides”, with a special focus on plot-type, especially the rape-and-recognition and Potiphar’s wife storylines.

Howell ertain aspects of the cultures of the Bible are more easily grasped today by Africans than by Westerners.1 By recognizing important parallels to Greco-Roman culture, Africa can serve as a “laboratory,” an appropriate setting, for reading both the Classics and the New Testament C2 well. Reading the biblical text in the “laboratory” of Mozambique, for exam- ple, led to observations and connections that, although surprising to me, in retrospect, have been there all along. The Makua-Metto Christians made a number of insightful observations as we studied Ephesians 5: 15-20 together, connecting Paul’s counsel for the church in Ephesus to our context in northern Mozambique.3 We noted how the verb wiipa in the Makua-Metto language means both “to swell” and “to sing.” That seman- tic connection fit well with the instruction in the text to be filled, or swell, with the Holy Spirit while singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.

    Journal of Physical Activity, Nutrition and Rehabilitation, 2018 www.panr.com.cy [email protected] The war dances and their role in the youth’s military education in ancient Greece Douka, S.* Department of Physical Education and Sports Science, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thermi 54124, Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract War dances had a significant role in ancient Greeks’ life before, during and after the classical period. The aim of the current research is to study the significance of military preparation in ancient Greeks’ life and to make a reference to war dances, especially dance pyrrhichios; the most prominent dance of this category. For the data collection it has been used the historic methodological research, where it has been analyzed and interpreted primary and secondary sources. According to analysis of the collected, in the antiquity, war dances possessed a pedagogical role, whereas they were used as a war preparation medium by weapons usage. Greeks loved war dances, not because they were a bellicose folk, but in the wake of those historical incidents, which obliged them to be constantly and sufficiently prepared for war, they could taste the goods of the Peace. The consequence of this research is that for the ancient Greeks, the best martial education and preparation was accomplished through dance and music, that’s why they ascertained each time that the “best warriors were the best dancers”. Hence, they attempted through poems, songs and dance movements to stimulate warriors’ courage, bravery and jubilant/impulsive mood. Keywords: dance; military education; pyrrhichios. 1 Introduction The most researchers that have handled with dance in general, and especially with the dancing in the ancient Greece, refer war dances, too.
