  • Seriously Playful: Philosophy in the Myths of Ovid's Metamorphoses
    Seriously Playful: Philosophy in the Myths of Ovid’s Metamorphoses Megan Beasley, B.A. (Hons) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Classics of The University of Western Australia School of Humanities Discipline of Classics and Ancient History 2012 1 2 For my parents 3 4 Abstract This thesis aims to lay to rest arguments about whether Ovid is or is not a philosophical poet in the Metamorphoses. It does so by differentiating between philosophical poets and poetic philosophers; the former write poetry freighted with philosophical discourse while the latter write philosophy in a poetic medium. Ovid, it is argued, should be categorised as a philosophical poet, who infuses philosophical ideas from various schools into the Metamorphoses, producing a poem that, all told, neither expounds nor attacks any given philosophical school, but rather uses philosophy to imbue its constituent myths with greater wit, poignancy and psychological realism. Myth and philosophy are interwoven so intricately that it is impossible to separate them without doing violence to Ovid’s poem. It is not argued here that the Metamorphoses is a fundamentally serious poem which is enhanced, or marred, by occasional playfulness. Nor is it argued that the poem is fundamentally playful with occasional moments of dignity and high seriousness. Rather, the approach taken here assumes that seriousness and playfulness are so closely connected in the Metamorphoses that they are in fact the same thing. Four major myths from the Metamorphoses are studied here, from structurally significant points in the poem. The “Cosmogony” and the “Speech of Pythagoras” at the beginning and end of the poem have long been recognised as drawing on philosophy, and discussion of these two myths forms the beginning and end of the thesis.

    https://classical-inquiries.chs.harvard.edu/mastchs-spring-seminar-2021-friday- april-16-summaries-of-presentations-and-discussion/ MASt@CHS – Spring Seminar 2021 (Friday, April 16): Summaries of Presentations and Discussion June 10, 2021 Guest Post 2021.06.10 | By Rachele Pierini and Tom Palaima §1. Rachele Pierini opened the Spring session of the MASt@CHS seminars by welcoming the participants to the session. In addition to the regular members of the MASt@CHS network and colleagues and students who have already attended previous session, new guests joined the April 16 meeting: Elena Dzukeska, Massimo Perna, Kim Shelton, Trevor Van Damme, and Malcolm H. Wiener. This seminar session was the meeting of the two Morrises. The presenters for the Spring 2021 meeting were Sarah Morris, who is a regular member of the MASt@CHS group, and Morris Silver, who resumed his treatment of the cultural significance and economic importance of purple cloth that he began guiding us through in the Winter 2021 MASt@CHS session. Figure 0. Map of northern Greece showing Methone in relation to other ancient sites, by Myles Chykerda (from Morris et al. 2020:660, fig. 1). §2.1. Sarah Morris shared with us some thoughts based on results of her field project at the site of Methone in northern Greece in the region of Pieria lying roughly between the coast of the Thermaic Gulf and Mount Olympus (Figure 0). She outlined the possible relationship between this site and the Mycenaean texts. She discussed diverse evidence, extending from Homer to ancient Greek geographic literature, also including the archeological evidence at Thermaic Methone and Mycenae in the Argolid to specific entries on the Linear B tablets from Mycenae and Pylos.

  • It's Still the Same Old Story6
    It’s still the same old story (version 6) The greater part of book 5 of the Metamorphoses is made up by an episode where Minerva visits the Muses on mount Helicon. Some time ago this passage caught my attention, and I have been working on it on and off since. This paper is another attempt at it and, above all, at its role in the Metamorphoses as a whole. It certainly deserves more attention than it usually gets. There is virtually no connection to what precedes Minerva’s visit. She has just left Perseus to his own affairs, and wants to see the Hippocrene because she witnessed the birth of Pegasus who struck the fountain open with his hoof. The Muses greet her as she arrives and tell her of their recent difficulties with a man, Pyreneus, bent on keeping them locked up and violating them, and with a group of nine mortal women, daughters of Pieros and therefore Pierides, who had challenged the Muses to a singing contest. The Pierides had sung a song ridiculing the gods’ performance in the fight against the giants – how they all fled from Typhoeus and disguised themselves in Egypt as various kinds of animal. But the Pierides had been defeated by Calliope and punished by being transformed into magpies. Calliope had won by singing a hymn to Ceres about the rape of Proserpina. She started with explaining how Typhoeus lies captive below Sicily, struggling to get up, and how Hades therefore had to inspect the surface of the island for cracks that might let light slip into the underworld.

  • Between Two Worlds Ovid Shaping Literary Tradition from Virgil to the Post-Classical
    Between Two Worlds Ovid Shaping Literary Tradition from Virgil to the Post-Classical A panel proposal for CA 2020 Chair: Alison Sharrock, University of Manchester Preamble Herman Fränkel’s seminal book Ovid: A Poet between Two Worlds (1945) sought, against the background of 19th-century classicism and aversion to all things ‘declining’, to situate the maverick late-Augustan as speaking not only to the classical world but also the Christian culture of late antiquity and the Middle Ages. For much of the 20th century, Ovid was perceived, not always positively, as the mediator between so-called Golden and Silver Latin poetry, and as such was used (one might say) to explain, excuse, or excoriate the ‘silveriness’ of post-Augustan poetry. Then came the explosion of interest in Neronian and Flavian literature towards the end of the last century up to the present day, in which, despite massive ongoing interest in Ovid’s poetry itself, the role of the Metamorphoses as a mediator between the Aeneid and later epic was somewhat lost in the face of the sophisticated exploration of Virgilian intertextuality for post-Augustan Latin epic which was the legacy of Philip Hardie’s important book, The Epic Successors of Virgil (1993). Despite a special issue of Arethusa (2002) which sought to re-contextualise for the new millennium the ancient reception of Ovid, the dominance of Virgil in later Latin poetry has continued to occlude the role of Ovid in literary history, especially of the first century after the death of Augustus. The present panel proposes to look again at the diachronic intertextuality of ancient epic, looking both backwards and forwards from Ovid.

  • FIACHRA MAC GÓRÁIN Apollo and Dionysus in Virgil
    Incontri di filologia classica 12 (2012-2013), 191-238 FIACHRA MAC GÓRÁIN Apollo and Dionysus in Virgil Introduction: Reading Apollo and Dionysus The poetry of Virgil constructs a particular relationship between Apollo and Dionysus. In the present article I examine this relationship, which features in the Eclogues and the Aeneid. I take into account a variety of relevant contexts, modern as well as ancient, in which Apollo and Dionysus are found together. The pairing of the two gods was well established centuries before Virgil; the two gods were both widely used in the political propaganda of Virgil’s lifetime and beyond; and their pairing has been prominent in modern classical scholarship, which affects the ways in which ancient culture is now understood, including those contexts in which the two gods are paired from before and during Virgil’s time. Undoubtedly, Nietzsche’s visionary 1872 work, The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music (in German, Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste der Musik, and hereinafterBT ), represents the most critical moment for modern perceptions of the Apollo-Dionysus relationship. Nietzsche argued that the Apollonian and the Dionysian were two contrasting artistic drives which were harmonized in the tragedy of Aeschylus and Sophocles, and in his own day in the music of Wagner. I use Nietzsche’s compelling amplification of the Apollo-Dionysus pairing here to articulate a reading of the two gods’ relationship in Virgil’s poetry. In his Attempt at Self-Criticism, appended to the second edition of BT (1886), Nietzsche rues that he had not expressed what he had to say in poetry: «What a pity that I did not dare to say what I had to say then as a poet: then I might have managed it!» (§3).
