Divided into three sections, the work consists of sixteen original articles authored by an ensemble of some of the world’s most distinguished scholars of classical mythology. Part I provides readers with an examination of the forms and uses of myth in Greek oral and written literature from the epic poetry of the eighth century BC to the mythographic catalogs of the early centuries AD. Part II looks at the relationship between myth, religion, art, and politics among the Greeks and at the Roman appropriation of Greek mythic tradition. The reception of Greek myth from the Middle Ages to modernity, in literature, feminist scholarship, and cinema, rounds out the work in Part III. The Cambridge Companion to Greek Mythology is a unique resource that will be of interest and value not only to undergraduate and graduate students and professional scholars, but also to anyone interested in the myths of the ancient Greeks and their impact on western tradition.

  • The Greek and the Roman Novel. Parallel Readings
    Parallel Cults? Religion and Narrative in Apuleius’ Metamorphoses and Some Greek Novels STEPHEN HARRISON University of Oxford1 1 Introduction In this paper I want to compare the narrative function of the gods, their sanc- tuaries and oracles in the plot of Apuleius’ Metamorphoses with that of simi- lar elements in the plots of Greek novels, and to argue that Apuleius proba- bly knew most of the extant Greek novels and plays with their established literary uses of divine elements. This has additional relevance for the overall interpretation of the Metamorphoses, since it can be used to suggest that the religious element in Apuleius is more likely to have a literary, entertaining function rather than a serious, proselytising role.2 A recent investigation3 gives the following dates for the earlier Greek novels (all CE): Achilles Tatius before 164 Chariton 41–62 Xenophon 65–98 ————— 1 My thanks to the audience at Rethymnon for useful discussion, and to Michael Paschalis and Stavros Frangoulidis for organising a splendid conference. The text and translation of Apuleius are cited from Hanson 1989, the translations of Greek novels from those col- lected in Reardon 1989 (Reardon’s Chariton, Anderson’s Xenophon, Winkler’s Achilles, Gill’s Longus, and Sullivan’s Onos). 2 Here I add to the case made in Harrison 2000, 238–52 and 2000–1. 3 Bowie 2002.

Euripide, Poliido (Pleiadi 17; Rome 2014). Among all the figures of Greek myth, Polyidus is not exactly a household name. In Apollodorus’ account (Bibl. 3.17-20), he was a seer who came to the aid of Minos, after Minos’ son Glaucus had fallen into a vat of honey while chasing a mouse; Minos was then told by the Curetes that his son would be brought back to life by the person who came up with the best comparison for a three-coloured cow that Minos had in his herds. Polyidus compared it to a blackberry, and was then told by Minos that he had to revivify his son. After being shut up with the corpse, he killed a snake that was making its way towards the dead boy, only to see a second snake bring its fellow back to life by spreading a herb over its body; Polyidus applied the same herb to Glaucus and achieved the same result.

This question does not necessarily reect the diculty of the round that follows.” TU 0: This tossup will be an extremely unique format. These types of tossups can be called "blank" tossups, where any signicant piece of info is replaced with the word "blank" and purely relies on one being able to recognize the entry being read to them without any proper nouns, identiers, and the like. For example if you were to hear: [blank], determined on a dangerous course in order to benet [blank], [blanked] [blank] from [blank] and [blanked] it secretly down to [blank]. [blank], enraged at the [blank's] [blank], ordered [blank] to nail [blank] to a cli in the [blank] [blank]. You might realize that this blank tossup is talking about Prometheus.

  • Iliad</Italic>
    300 Jim Marks Jim Marks Context as Hypertext: Divine Rescue Scenes in the Iliad A number of factors determine the fates of individual characters during battlefield scenes in the Iliad. In terms of sheer body count, most of those that perish in battle seem to have been created simply in order for others to kill them.1 Typical of this group is the Trojan Cleoboulus, who receives neither dying words nor patronymic nor homeland, and appears only long enough to fall to Oileian Ajax (16.330–334). As for the more developed characters, life or death in battle is, to begin with, a function of the plot: major heroes by definition survive through most or all of the narrative, and lesser ones at least until they have performed their subsidiary roles. Hec- tor, for instance, must remain alive until the dramatic climax of the plot in Book 22, while the Trojan ally Pandarus is killed soon after he performs the necessary function of restarting the war following the duel between Menelaus and Paris in Book 3 (4.85–222, 5.243–296). The fates of at least some of these more developed characters are also influenced by the fact that they were already or were becoming established in other contexts at the time when the Iliad was taking shape. Odysseus, to take an obvious example, cannot die in the Iliad because he was a widely recognized figure best known for a successful return from Troy, as is at- tested in the Homeric Odyssey and non-Homeric poetry, artistic represen- tations, cult activity on his native Ithaca, and so on.
