Greek Past”: Religion, Tradition, Self Acts of Identification and the Politics of the “Greek Past”: Religion, Tradition, Self by Vaia Touna A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Religious Studies University of Alberta © Vaia Touna, 2015 ABSTRACT This study is about a series of operational acts of identification, such as interpretations, categorizations, representations, classifications, through which past materials have acquired their meaning and therefore identity. Furthermore, this meaning- making will be demonstrated always to be situational and relational in the sense that the meaning of past material is a historical product created by strategic historic agents through their contemporary acts of identification and, as situated historical products, they are always under scrutiny and constant re-fabrication by yet other historical agents who are on the scene with yet other goals. It will also be evident throughout this study that meanings (identities) do not transcend time and space, and neither do they hide deep in the core of material artifacts awaiting to be discovered. The Introduction lays the theoretical and methodological framework of the study, situating its historiographical and sociological interests in the study of identities and the past, arguing for an approach that looks at the processes and techniques by which material and immaterial artifacts acquire their meaning. In Chapter 1 I look at scholarly interpretations as an operational act of identification; by the use of such anachronisms (which are inevitable when we study the past) as the term religion and the idea of the individual self, a certain widely-shared, and thoroughly modern understanding of Euripides’ play Hippolytus was made possible. Chapter 2 is concerned with the process of categorization, as another act of identification, which allows scholars to identify, and thereby describe (or better construct) the ancient Greek world by dividing it between what appeared to be naturally occurring private and ii public zones, through the use of categories such as “mystery cults,” “voluntary associations,” and “mystery religions.” Although Chapter 3 is mainly on representations, it is evident that interpretations and categorizations are both effectively used in the restoration of a pitted iconography of a small church in Thessaloniki, Greece, which is often explained as an act of iconoclasm. Instead of focusing on the pitted iconography as an instance of iconoclasm, the chapter once again exemplifies the shift of this project by looking at how a new symbol was fabricated by commentators by means of the representation, interpretation and categorization of material from the archive of the fragmented past. In Chapter 4 it is made evident how all of the intersecting processes of the previous chapters are in place in the construction of “traditional villages” in Greece. Although classification has been an important operational act of identification, it would not be enough without the way with which representation, interpretation and categorization have been used by strategic social actors in order to constitute what counts as a “traditional village,” doing so for their own social, economic, and political needs and thus contemporary interests. The Epilogue summarizes and exemplifies the shift of approach that the project is advocating by demonstrating how all of these operational acts, each of which have been identified in the previous chapters, are all working together in the construction of our view of the past and its relation to present interests. iii PREFACE This Thesis is an original work by Vaia Touna.

Reading the Past In early June of 2006 while I was a master’s student in religious studies at the Theological school of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, I participated in a conference for the inauguration of the Greek Society of Religious Studies organized by professor Panayotis Pachis. The four-day conference, which attracted many notable scholars of religion from across Europe and North America (both Canada and the U.S.A), included for the participants a day trip to nearby cities, such as Pella, Dion, Vergina, each of which is well known for their important archaeological sites.1 One of these visits was to the Museum of the Royal Tombs in Vergina, a town 60km (40 miles) southwest from Thessaloniki. Known in antiquity as Aigai, Vergina was the first capital city of the ancient Macedonian kingdom and thus an important burial site, throughout antiquity, of ancient Macedonian royalty. Vergina became well known in the 1970s when Manolis Andronikos (1919-1992), a distinguished Greek archaeologists and professor at Aristotle

    Τι είν’ η πατρίδα μας; Performing ‘time out of joint’ at the National Theatre of Greece (2011-13) ‘We are going to open the chapter “Greece”. Our aim is to talk exclusively about our country.’1 (Anon 2011) With these words, in May 2011, the artistic director of the National Theatre of Greece Yiannis Houvardas launched the theatre’s programme for the autumn 2011 - spring 2013 period. The season under the title What is our motherland? (Τι ειν’ η πατρίδα μας;) featured works by Greek and non-Greek artists that focused on three areas: Greeks’ perceptions of themselves, non-Greeks’ views of the country and its people, and what Greece might signify in that particular historical moment. The What is our Motherland? Season that concluded Houvardas’s six-year tenure, included different kinds of events: performances, talks, rehearsed readings and exhibitions, they all offered a synchronic and diachronic perspective on the Greek nation.2 This article explores three performances of Greek plays that were programmed as part of that season: Lena Kitsopoulou’s Austras or Couch Grass (Άουστρας ή η Αγριαδα [2011]); Iakovos Kampanellis’s The Backyard of Miracles (Αυλή των Θαυμάτων, [1957/58]), and Spyridon Peresiadis’s Golfo (Γκόλφω, [1893/94]). These three texts offer insight into the performance of Greek national identity in markedly different historical moments: the pastoral drama Golfo was originally staged 1 All translations from Greek material are mine. The analysis is based on my experience as audience member of The Backyard of Miracles (February 2012) and Golfo (Epidaurus theatre, August 2013) as well as on the video recordings of the productions held at the library of the National Theatre in Athens; the reading of Austras is solely based on the video recording, the unpublished playscript and other documentation material available at the National Theatre library.

    93695_Hellenistic_Court:Layout 1 8/11/17 08:53 Page 231 10 IMAGE AND COMMUNICATION IN THE SELEUCID KINGDOM: THE KING, THE COURT AND THE CITIES Paola Ceccarelli 1. Introduction The balance of power on which the Hellenistic kingdoms rested was delicate. In the first instance, the king’s power depended on his personal charisma, confirmed by his continued success, especially in war, which implied divine support.1 Other important factors included the king’s perceived ability to distribute justice and bring peace to his subjects and, rather paradoxically, legitimacy through descent.2 All these elements impacted on the king’s ability to mobilize a consensus around his decisions. The reactions caused by Alexander’s request in 324 that the poleis readmit exiles, or the trouble that Philip V took, in 219 and again in 214, when asking the city of Larissa to admit new citizens into their ranks, show that no king could in all cases simply give orders.3 The issue may have been particularly acute for the Seleucid kings, whose rule, to use Austin’s words, ‘depended on a judicious blend of pressure and persuasion’.4 Issues of communication between the king and his subjects were thus of fundamental importance; historical narratives as well as countless anecdotes testify to the delicate balance between royal distance on the one hand and attention to specific individuals and communities on the other.5 Accessibility and punctilious attention to the correspondence are part of the image of the ideal king presented by the Hellenistic literature on kingship, and against this ideal all Hellenistic kings, from Philip and Alexander to the successors, were measured;6 whether they successfully managed to live up to it is of course a different matter.

Scientific aspect of medicine was more of interest, so its history was mainly aimed at tracing back the birth of scientific thoughts. Therefore, the focus of ancient Greek medicine was given mainly to investigating the surviving Hippocratic corpus and its philosophy.
