The initiation of Strepsiades into the Phrontisterion of Socrates clearly draws upon mystery rituals familiar to Aristophanes' audience, but the debate over the exact rites parodied goes back to the scholia.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “A Fullness of Living Forces”: Viacheslav Ivanov’s Poetics of Theurgy A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures by Jeffrey T. Riggs 2018 © Copyright by Jeffrey T. Riggs 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “A Fullness of Living Forces”: Viacheslav Ivanov’s Poetics of Theurgy by Jeffrey T. Riggs Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Ronald W. Vroon, Chair Developing poetry into a form of theurgy (“divine work,” from the Greek θεουργία) is perhaps the most heraldically proclaimed yet scantly defined preoccupation of the Russian Symbolist poet Viacheslav Ivanov (1866-1949). The Symbolist movement’s philosophical progenitor, Vladimir Solov’ev (1853-1900), sounded the clarion call for theurgic art in his treatise Crisis of Western Philosophy (1874), however the concept of theurgy dates to late antiquity, when the Neoplatonist philosophers Iamblichus (c. 245–c. 325 CE) and Proclus (412– 485 CE) posited theurgic ritual as superior to theological discourse. While it has been established that Ivanov followed Solov’evian paradigms in creating theurgic art, the Neoplatonic context of Ivanov’s engagement with theurgy has remained hitherto unexplored in Slavist scholarship. This dissertation argues for Neoplatonic theurgy as an active constituent in Ivanov’s poetics and theory of the symbol. Being an accomplished classical historian and philologist as ii well as a poet and theoretician, Ivanov incorporated both Solov’evian and Neoplatonic theurgic ideas into his highly allusive, richly symbolic, and archaically stylized poetry. Neoplatonism supplied Ivanov with a notion of the symbol as a conduit of divine mysteries, a mythopoetic device, and a functional element of ritual practice.

  • Divine Riddles: a Sourcebook for Greek and Roman Mythology March, 2014
    Divine Riddles: A Sourcebook for Greek and Roman Mythology March, 2014 E. Edward Garvin, Editor What follows is a collection of excerpts from Greek literary sources in translation. The intent is to give students an overview of Greek mythology as expressed by the Greeks themselves. But any such collection is inherently flawed: the process of selection and abridgement produces a falsehood because both the narrative and meta-narrative are destroyed when the continuity of the composition is interrupted. Nevertheless, this seems the most expedient way to expose students to a wide range of primary source information. I have tried to keep my voice out of it as much as possible and will intervene as editor (in this Times New Roman font) only to give background or exegesis to the text. All of the texts in Goudy Old Style are excerpts from Greek or Latin texts (primary sources) that have been translated into English. Ancient Texts In the field of Classics, we refer to texts by Author, name of the book, book number, chapter number and line number.1 Every text, regardless of language, uses the same numbering system. Homer’s Iliad, for example, is divided into 24 books and the lines in each book are numbered. Hesiod’s Theogony is much shorter so no book divisions are necessary but the lines are numbered. Below is an example from Homer’s Iliad, Book One, showing the English translation on the left and the Greek original on the right. When citing this text we might say that Achilles is first mentioned by Homer in Iliad 1.7 (i.7 is also acceptable).

After Charon and his boat, he tells him: μετὰ τοῦτ’ ὄφεις καὶ θηρί’ ὄψει μυρία / δεινότατα. After this you will see snakes and most terrible beasts in myriads. Aristophanes Frogs 142-3 The ‘myriads’, whilst grammatically associated in the first instance with the ‘most terrible beasts,’ is presumably to be read with the ‘snakes’ too. A hundred of these snakes at any rate can be accounted for in the form of the ‘hundred-headed’ (ἑκατογκέφαλος) Echidna, the ‘Viper’, which, the underworld warden and keeper of Cerberus, Aeacus, subsequently tells Heracles, will tear at his innards, in punishment for his former theft of the dog.2 In Apuleius’ tale of Cupid and Psyche, Psyche is directed by Venus to the banks of the Styx: Dextra laevaque cautibus cavatis proserpunt ecce longa colla porrecti saevi dracones inconivae vigiliae luminibus addictis et in perpetuam lucem pupulis excubantibus.

O EDWARD TRANCIS SCARLES WHOSE APPRECIATION OF THE HARMONIES OF ART, AND "WHOSE HIGH IDEALS OF ARCHITECTURE HAVE FOUND EXPRESSION IN MANY ENDURING FORMS, THIS BOOK IS RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED. ^ PBEERCE Tub temptation to wander, with all the recklessness of an amateur, into the traditions of the best architec- ture, which necessarily could be found only in the his- tory of early Hellenic art, awakened in the author a desire to ascertain who were the individual artists primarily responsible for those architectural standards, which have been accepted without rival since their crea- tion. The search led to some surprise when it was found how little was known or recorded of them, and how great appeared to be the indifference in which they were held by nearly all the writers upon ancient art, as well as by their contemporary historians and biog- raphers.

  • Greek Mysteries
    GREEK MYSTERIES Mystery cults represent the spiritual attempts of the ancient Greeks to deal with their mortality. As these cults had to do with the individual’s inner self, privacy was paramount and was secured by an initiation ceremony, a personal ritual that estab- lished a close bond between the individual and the gods. Once initiated, the indi- vidual was liberated from the fear of death by sharing the eternal truth, known only to the immortals. Because of the oath of silence taken by the initiates, a thick veil of secrecy covers those cults and archaeology has become our main tool in deciphering their meaning. In a field where archaeological research constantly brings new data to light, this volume provides a close analysis of the most recent discoveries, as well as a critical re-evaluation of the older evidence. The book focuses not only on the major cults of Eleusis and Samothrace, but also on the lesser-known Mysteries in various parts of Greece, over a period of almost two thousand years, from the Late Bronze Age to the Roman Imperial period. In our mechanized and technology-oriented world, a book on Greek spirituality is both timely and appropriate. The authors’ inter-disciplinary approach extends beyond the archaeological evidence to cover the textual and iconographic sources and provides a better understanding of the history and rituals of those cults. Written by an international team of acknowledged experts, Greek Mysteries is an important contribution to our understanding of Greek religion and society. Michael B. Cosmopoulos is the Hellenic Government–Karakas Foundation Profes- sor of Greek Studies and Professor of Greek Archaeology at the University of Missouri-St.

  • Mystery Cults of the Greco-Roman Era
    Mystery cults of the Greco-Roman era 1. What is a mystery religion or mystery cult? The word mysterious refers to a secret - something that is under lock and key. The Mystery cults kept their teachings and religious rites secret from those outside the cult. Admission to such a worship community, was usually carried out through special initiation rites. The so called mystes were only admitted if they swore to keep silence. Surely this is why the word mystery today in general means "secret". On the other hand the sillaba "My" comes from "Linear B", the writing of Mycenae … Mycenae that was the culture of the people with the myth of the beautiful Helena and trojan war … and refers to the consecration of a dignitary (die Weihe eines Würdenträgers). So myth, myste and mystery are from a family of words and mysterious worship can also be understood as the sacred consecration of a myth and a deity. 2. When and where did these mystery cults take place? Probably this form was used to initiate priestresses and priests already in Sumer Mesopotamia at least 5000 years ago. I could not find prove for this yet but certainly in egypt the pharoes (4-3000 years ago) went through an initiation inactment of the myth. The main and well known period where the practice was very widely spread was from 600 BC to 300 AD, in ancient Greece and in the Roman Empire. These cults extended to all areas of influence of these cultures. So for example in Cologne in Germany was a main temple and cult centre of the goddess Isis.
