  • 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.

  • An Argive Decree from Nemea Concerning Aspendos
    AN ARGIVE DECREE FROM NEMEA CONCERNING ASPENDOS (PLATE47) E XCAVATIONS in the Sanctuaryof Zeus at Nemea have revealed that in numbers of inscriptions discoveredthis Panhellenic shrine is more like Isthmia than its other two counterparts, Olympia and Delphi. The two sites in the northeasternPeloponnesos have producedbetween them only a modest collectionof inscribedtexts comparedwith the thou- sands of documents which fill the volumes of Die Inschriften von Olympia, Fouilles de Delphes: Tome III, Epigraphie, and their various supplements. Recent work at Nemea by the University of California at Berkeley has not dramaticallyaltered this picture, but a few interesting inscriptions have been recovered in the last several years.1 I here publish in preliminary form one of the more important of these, a decree of Argos concerning the Pamphylian state of Aspendos.2 The text of this decree survives on three joining fragmentsof a stele of hard, gray lime- stone which were excavated from an ancient well near the southwest corner of the Temple of Zeus (grid: K 14). In a preliminary report on this well, the Field Director, S. G. Miller, noted that the three fragmentslay at a level of -6.50 to -7.80 m. in a dumped filling which is probably to be dated in the second half of the 3rd century B.C.3 1 Inscriptionsfrom Nemea are published in IG IV, 479-488; SEG XI, 290-295; XXIII, 178-185; XXV, 356, 357; XXVI, 419-421; XXVIII, 391, 392; XXIX, 347-353; XXX, 351-353.

  • The Verbal and Spatial Rhetoric of Women's Roles in Classical Athens (Ca
    "Least Talked About among Men"? The Verbal and Spatial Rhetoric of Women's Roles in Classical Athens (ca. 450–350 B.C.E.) Lisa Nevett, University of Michigan Abstract In this paper I argue that comparing views derived from texts and material culture highlights the conscious manipulation of both media by their creators in order to communicate specific messages. I suggest that an awareness of this kind of manipulation has a vital role to play in the interpretation not only of textual sources (as is often recognized), but also of archaeological ones (which is more rarely acknowledged). To demonstrate this point I focus on the debate concerning the roles of women in Classical Athens. With the support of a theoretical framework established by Amos Rapoport and elaborated by Richard Blanton, I argue that Athenian domestic architecture was deliberately designed to convey messages about the gender roles and social status of a house's residents. I suggest that such an interpretation is in keeping with previous studies of sacred and civic architecture in Classical Athens, which have demonstrated that the builders and users of such structures were aware of the communicative potential of architectural space. Introduction The title of my paper is taken from a famous passage from the fifth-century-B.C.E. Athenian general Perikles' funeral speech, as related by the historian Thucydides (History of the Peloponnesian War 2.45). This view that the most virtuous women should remain invisible in the civic sphere, which I refer to as the "rhetoric of seclusion," forms part of a wider perspective on women's roles that can be seen across a variety of Athenian literary genres from the late fifth century B.C.E.

  • A TEMPLE at HERMIONE 179 the South Cella Wall Foundation
    A TEMPLEAT HERMIONE (PLATES 46-48) ^ S far back as I can remember,Rhys Carpenterand archaeologyhave been] synonymous. When, by an unexpected turn of events, I began to study archaeology at Bryn Mawr, nothing could have seemed as fitting or as alluring as the prospect of courses with Dr. Carpenter. His ingenious wit, at once startling and convincing, held his students spellbound through lectures in a variety of subjects, and sent us on each inspired in her own direction. It is therefore a special privilege for me to present here a paper intended to further the knowledge of " Ancient Architecture," as one of the fields to which he has made many a fresh and important contribution. Extending eastward from the modern town of Hermione in the southern Argolid, a rocky promontory known as the Bisti rises from the sea and protects the harbor (Fig. 1, P1. 46, a).' It has been thickly planted with pine trees and enclosed by a fence, so that it may be marked as an archaeological'site and serve as a park for the local inhabitants, summer visitors, and Boy Scouts. Ancient remains abound, from pre- historic sherds to fortifications of classical and medieval times. Here crowning the eastern part of the ridge are the foundations of one of the most accessible but least known Greek temples. Several times a day the island boats stop on their way to and from Athens, and anyone in Hermione can direct the stranger to the " temple of Poseidon," yet it is ignored by modern guide books and unknown to many scholars.2 EARLIERREPORTS Pausanias, who seems to have missed very little in his tireless journeyings; visited Hermione on his way across the lower Argolid.8 He enumerated no less than seven temples and sanctuaries on the Bisti, but as is often the case, his brief remarks I In the photograph, the Pron appears in the foreground, the Bisti in the middle distance, and the island of Hydra directly beyond, disappearing behind the nearer island of Dhokos to the right.

  • Urban and Rural Land Division in Ancient Greece
    URBAN AND RURAL LAND DIVISION IN ANCIENTGREECE T75HE RESTLESSENERGY of Greek civilization led for some five hundred years to the constant founding of new communities and the reorganizationof old ones. Homer (Odyssey6.9-10), in describingthe Phaiakiansettlement in Scheria, speaks of a circuit wall for the city, the building of houses and of temples of the gods and of the division of the fields. Implicitin the foundation of new colonies was the notion of equal- ity among the members, exemplified in the division of their prime resource, the land.1 To achieve this, accurate measurement and equitable division were from the outset essential, even when gods or privileged men were to be honored with larger or better assignments. Land division involved both town and country, as the epigraphicalrecord shows for KerkyraMelaina in the 4th century B.C., where colonists received plots both inside and outside the walled area.2No doubt also the geonomoi,dispatched with Athe- nian colonists, assigned kleroiin both town and country.3The redistributionboth of land and of houses were revolutionarymeasures in settled communities, and the oaths for- mulated against this likewise reflect division of urban and agrarianland.4 So Meton in Aristophanes, Birds, 995-996, wishes "to survey the sky and divide it up in fields" but goes on to plan a city, such a city, to be sure, as no Greek city ever resembled. When it comes to the archaeologicalrecord the regular division of urban land for houses is conspicuous but in the Greek world only exceptionally does the countryside reveal its patterns. Nonetheless the link between the two is fundamental, and for both the same techniques of surveyingand geometry ("land measurement", cf.

  • THE NOBLE KARDOUCHOI and the BARBAROUS MOSSYNOIKOI: Remembering and Forgetting Ancient Anatolian Peoples
    Pamukkale Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi Sayı 20, 2015, Sayfa 100-107 THE NOBLE KARDOUCHOI AND THE BARBAROUS MOSSYNOIKOI: Remembering and Forgetting Ancient Anatolian Peoples Shane BRENNAN* Abstract For several hundred years from the mid-first millennium B.C.E. the Mossynoikoi and the Kardouchoi were dominant peoples in their respective regions of Anatolia. While the historical record indicates they were strong militarily and successful at commerce, they were apparently not inclined to express their power or wealth in terms of monumental architecture or durable artwork. In the absence of a material legacy our knowledge of these peoples derives primarily from ancient literary sources, the most important of which is the firsthand account given by the Greek writer Xenophon the Athenian in his Anabasis. The aims of this paper are, firstly, to highlight the importance of ancient accounts in so far as they preserve knowledge of peoples who we may otherwise know nothing about and, secondly, to explore how these same texts have a decisive bearing in the process of remembering ancient peoples. Key Words: Ethnicity, Anatolia, Xenophon, Anabasis, Memory, Reception. SOYLU KARDOUCHİ VE BARBAR MOSSYNOİKOİ:ESKİ ANADOLU TOPLUMLARINI HATIRLAMAK VE UNUTMAK Özet Mossynoikoi ve Kardouchoi, M.Ö. ilk bin yılın ortalarından itibaren birkaç yüzyıl boyunca Anadolu’nun kendilerine ait bölgelerinde hâkimiyet sürmüş toplumlardır.
