HESIOD in OVID: the METAMORPHOSIS of the CATALOGUE of WOMEN a Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Co
HESIOD IN OVID: THE METAMORPHOSIS OF THE CATALOGUE OF WOMEN A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Ioannis V. Ziogas February 2010 © 2010 Ioannis V. Ziogas HESIOD IN OVID: THE METAMORPHOSIS OF THE CATALOGUE OF WOMEN Ioannis V. Ziogas, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2010 The subject of my dissertation is Ovid's intertextual engagement with the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women (aka the Ehoiai). I examine the Hesiodic character of Ovid’s work, focusing mainly on the Metamorphoses and Heroides 16-17. The Metamorphoses begins with Chaos and moves on to the loves of the gods, reiterating the transition from the Theogony to the Catalogue. Divine passions for beautiful maidens constitute a recurring motif in the Metamorphoses, establishing the importance of the erotic element in Ovid’s hexameter poem and referring to the main topic of the Ehoiai (fr. 1.1-5 M-W). The first five books of Ovid’s epic follow the descendants of the river-god Inachus, beginning with Jupiter’s rape of Io and reaching forward to Perseus, and the stemma of the Inachids features prominently in the Hesiodic Catalogue (fr. 122-59 M-W). As a whole, the Metamorphoses delineates the genealogies of the major Greek tribes (Inachids, Thebans, Athenians), and includes the Trojans, the only non-Greek genealogies of the Catalogue, which were dealt with in the last part of Hesiod’s work. Ovid’s foray into the Hesiodic corpus gives us a new perspective to interpreting his aemulatio of Vergil. -
Horse and Horsemen on Classical and Hellenistic Coins in Thessaly
Horse and Horsemen on Classical and Hellenistic Coins in Thessaly Athanasios Papaioannou SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts (MA) in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History of Macedonia February 2019 Thessaloniki – Greece Student Name: Athanasios Papaioannou SID: 2204160011 Supervisor: Prof. Sophia Kremydi I hereby declare that the work submitted is mine and that where I have made use of another’s work, I have attributed the source(s) according to the Regulations set in the Student’s Handbook. February 2019 Thessaloniki - Greece 2 ABSTRACT This dissertation was written as part of the MA in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History of Macedonia at the International Hellenic University. The horse and horsemen are common and very popular depictions in all aspects of art either in Thessaly or Macedonia. In this way, the horse was a basic element in agricultural labor and an important means of transportation until the first decades of the 20th century. Furthermore, horses were used in warfare and played a crucial role in many battles in Antiquity. They were connected to several deities and to chthonic cults during the same period. Numismatics, on the other hand, is one of the most valuable tools of archaeologists and historians for carrying out the task of unraveling the past. Through the coin types we can trace the political messages which the issuing authorities wanted to diffuse to the local and foreign user of the currency as well as the cultural and sociopolitical background of their territory. The present paper deals with the horse types on the coinages of the Thessalian and Macedonian region. -
Northern Constellations Used for Navigation, VAMZ, 3.S., XXXIX 15–58 (2006) 15
Color profile: Disabled Composite 150 lpi at 45 degrees T. BILI]: Northern constellations used for navigation, VAMZ, 3.s., XXXIX 15–58 (2006) 15 TOMISLAV BILI] Kosirnikova 83 Hr – 10000 Zagreb [email protected] SOME NORTHERN CONSTELLATIONS USED FOR NAVIGATION IN ANTIQUITY UDK 52 : 94(3) : 656 (37/38) Izvorni znanstveni rad The text analyses the myth of Arion the citharode and his miraculous deliverance. It is believed that the background of this myth is actually the use of stars from the constellation Delphinus in celestial navigation by ancient sea-farers on the maritime route from Magna Graecia to Greece. The author further analyses the myth of Apollo Delphinius, according to which the god assumed the shape of a dolphin and thus guided a Cretan ship to Delphi. Further he considers the use of stars from the constellation Corona Borealis in celestial navigation; in this context he shortly addresses Theseus’ voyage to Crete and interprets it as an expedition to the Otherworld. Next, the author tries to reconstruct the foundation-myth of Tarentum based on Classical sources, in the context of Arion’s dolphin-assisted voyage. Associated with this is the analysis of stories with the eponym-hero of the city, Taras, and Phalanthus the Spartan as the main protagonists. The article briefly mentions some other »dolphin-riders« from Anti- quity, namely Melicertes and Hermias. The final section discusses foundation-myths of Greek colonies in the Bay of Naples, again in the context of celestial navigation and open-sea voyages. THE MYTH OF ARION It is possibile that the famous myth of Arion the citharode is part of the tradition related to open-sea latitude sailing between Magna Graecia and the Peloponnese. -

Guide to Ancient Greek Coins of Thessaly Central Greece List of the cities in Thessaly which issued coins in ancient times and a collection of coins from the area https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rjIAgU3coI The goal of this guide is to share the information about the types of ancient Greek coins that were struck by the Greek towns of the area in central Greece known as Thessaly. With the list you can see below, you can use to search my store by clicking on the term, or printed out as a check-list to help you put together a coin collection from the area. With the video and the list of coins along with pictures and descriptions of them, you too, can become an expert in these types of coins. Some of the cities just issued bronze coins, others issued gold silver and bronze types. The most comprehensive book on the subject is Handbook of Ancient Greek Coins Volume 4 by Oliver D. Hoover. The other book to get is the Volume I and Volume II of Ancient Greek Coins and Their Values by David R. Sear. You can also see pictures and descriptions of coins from Thessaly for research purposes at this research site, by scrolling to the section on Thessaly with much information about the coin types. The most prominent town of ancient Thessaly was Larissa, which minted some of the most prolific coin types of that area. Many of the city's coins featured a nymph and a horse. Many of the coins of ancient Thessaly featured horses. -
'Phantom Eleans' in Southern Epirus *
doi: 10.2143/AWE.14.0.3108190 AWE 14 (2015) 111-143 ‘PHANTOM ELEANS’ IN SOUTHERN EPIRUS * ADOLFO J. DOMÍNGUEZ Abstract The existence of a series of Elean colonies in the region of Cassopaea, in southern Epirus, has been regularly accepted by scholars on the basis of a single piece of written evidence. Despite such limited information, a number of interpretations have been made in an attempt to date the foundation of these colonies, and even to describe their political and institutional development. In this article, I examine the available archaeological evidence for those sites usually identified with these alleged colonies in order to show that there is no proof of colonial occupation or of any urban entities before the middle of the 4th century. Likewise, I attempt to explain how the idea of Elean colonisation may have sprung up, and why only a single reference points to it. Elean Colonies in Southern Epirus? A Consideration of the Evidence It is a known fact that not all Greek territories were involved with equal intensity in the process we know today as ‘Greek colonisation’. Whereas some cities became famous for having founded tens of cities (for example, Miletus with over 90 colonies),1 other regions do not appear to have founded any at all. Aside from the recent debates on the question of ‘Greek colonisation’,2 here I would like to focus on a particularly singular case, for which there is practically only a single refer- ence, namely the colonisation by the Eleans, the inhabitants of Elis, in the north- western Peloponnese. -
Chapter 3 the Thessalian Calendar
CHAPTER 3 THE THESSALIAN CALENDAR This chapter assesses the contribution of the Thessalian calendar to an understanding of Thessalian religion.1 It is well recognized that ancient Greek month names were almost always based on the name of a festival that took place during that month. That there is a relationship between epichoric calendars and epichoric religious traditions is therefore clear: 2 It remains to assess the nature of this relationship. In section 1, I consider the Athenian calendar as a case study. Since knowledge of Attic cults and the Attic calendar far surpasses our knowledge of the cults and calendar of any other region in the ancient Greek world, we can examine how the two bodies of knowledge relate to one another. In so doing, it may be possible to glimpse the potential contributions of a study of epichoric calendars to the history of epichoric religion for, beyond Attica, it is more often than not the case that knowledge of a particular region’s calendar exceeds our knowledge of that region’s cults. In section 2, 1 Local calendars were an object of scholarly pursuit and implicated in broader inquiries concerning cult from a relatively early date. Philochorus (ca. 340-263/2a) wrote a Peri\ e(ortw=n, extremely fragmentary, in which he dated major Attic festivals by month and day (FGrHist 328 F 83-4). Callimachus wrote a Mhnw=n proshgori/ai kata\ e)/qnoj kai\ po/leij (p. 339 Pf.). Unfortunately nothing survives of this work. More important for our purposes is the work of Lysimachides (ca. -
Chapter 4 Federal Sanctuaries
CHAPTER 4 FEDERAL SANCTUARIES Introduction Every collective in Greek antiquity had a religious dimension. The identity of groups as diverse in size, function and orientation as the Delphian Labyads, Athenian Boule and the Delian League was expressed at some level through cult. Federal leagues were no different. In this chapter, I consider the two major federal sanctuaries of Thessaly, those of Athena Itonia at Philia and Zeus Eleutherios at Larissa, together with the cult conducted therein.1 I designate as federal sanctuaries those sanctuaries which received some form of symbolic or material investment by a koinon or related federal structure. The investment could take forms as diverse as the publication of league documents in a particular sanctuary or federal sponsorship of a religious festival. There is a temporal dimension to this investment, however: I am most concerned with those sanctuaries that show evidence of repeated investment through time. These sanctuaries need not be “capitols” in any modern sense,2 nor should they be freighted with the symbolism of the Archaic ethnos.3 They were, quite simply, cult places where federal identity was expressed.4 In theory, any sanctuary could become, i.e., could be constructed as, a federal sanctuary: In practice, very few did. 1 I also consider the substantial evidence that the sanctuary of Athena Itonia at Iton was federal. In Chapter 5, I will discuss the possibility that the sanctuary of Ennodia at Pherai was federal. 2 For a useful discussion of the problem of the federal capitol, cf. Mackil 2003: 134-8. 3 Cf. Morgan 2003: passim. -
(OSU-Ugent): Studies in Ancient Ethnography. Barbarians in Strabo's
Ghent University Faculty of Arts and Philosophy The Herodotos Project (OSU-UGent): Studies in Ancient Ethnography. Barbarians in Strabo’s ‘Geography’ (Isseans - Zygi). With a case-study: the Britons. Promotor: Paper submitted in partial Prof. M. Janse fulfilment of the requirements Co-promotors: for the degree of Prof. Brian D. Joseph (Ohio State University) “Master in de taal- en letterkunde: Dr. Christopher Brown (Ohio State University) Grieks- Latijn” by Anke De Naegel 2014-2015 2 Nederlandse samenvatting In deze thesis wordt eerst een inleiding gegeven die meer informatie geeft over het Herodotos project. Deze inleiding is samen geschreven met Julie Boeten. In deze inleiding komt naar voren wat dit project juist is en wat ons aandeel daarin was, dat is: we hebben alle volkeren die in Strabo’s Geografie voorkomen in tweeën gedeeld en alle informatie die Strabo over ons deel van deze volkeren schrijft verzameld. Deze informatie is terug te vinden achteraan deze thesis in de appendix. Het eerste deel van deze masterproef bestaat uit een casestudy. Op dezelfde manier waarop we de volkeren van Strabo behandeld hebben, bekeken we ons studieobject. Bij mij is het onderwerp van deze casestudy ‘the Britons’, dit zijn de oorspronkelijke inwoners van Groot-Brittannië. Aangezien het om een casestudy gaat hebben we alle teksten van de schrijvers uit de antieke oudheid bekeken waarin ons gekozen volk aan bod kwam. De nomenclatuur van het eiland en de bewoners wordt onderzocht. Blijkbaar was de naam van het eiland afgeleid van de naam van het volk. Men denkt dat beide namen afkomstig zijn uit de taal die de inwoners van Groot-Brittannië toen spraken, namelijk het Brittonic.
