HERODOTUS TODAY 1.1 In a review article called 'A Triumph for Herodotus', Peter Green largely attributes the resurgence of Herodotean studies over the last forty years or so to our emancipation from the narrower model of historiography inspired by Thucydides. 1 We have been gradually liberated to experience the pleasure of Herodotus' text, and among the general educated public the Histories have increasingly been treated as a big book we carry around in our heads, keep on our table , refer to, study, and above all enjoy. Indeed, it is not unlikely for journalists and travelling intellectuals nowadays to pack a copy of the Histories in their bags.2 1.2 Herodotus' work is a history of the interactions between the Greek city­ states and their powerful Near Eastern neighbours that culminated in the Persian invasions of Greece in 490 and 480 BCE . It goes as far back as possible to explore the causes of this conflict, and it traces the rise of the Persians to be masters of a large multi-ethnic empire that conquered, or 1 Green (2003).

  • 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.

  • Dialogue Form in Greek Verse Inscriptions with Some Non
    1. INTRODUCTION Dialogue epigrams are based on certain communication patterns that are formed by using certain elements of language. In this study, I discuss the linguistic features of these patterns and I provide a typology of dialogue epigrams as a framework for these analyses. I focus on the structure and language of the dialogue verse inscriptions, but I give non-inscribed1 parallels in order to discuss the development of the epigram genre. 1.1 Subject and structure of this study The core element of this study is the dialogue epigram typology that I created. The typology is based on the turn division and on aspects of this division. I have divided the material into three categories, and I discuss the typical features of each type. What kinds of turns form the dialogues? How are the turns marked? What kind of adjacency pairs do the turns form?2 How are these turns (a) linked together with and (b) separated from other pairs in multi-pair epigrams? These are some of the main points of this study. The typology also helps to combine verse inscriptions and non- inscribed epigrams, and to detect the development towards more narrative-based epigrams. This material offers valuable information on the ways to communicate certain facts on monuments, but also about the mutual influence of the monumental and the fictive texts. In order to make my analyses fully comprehensible, I proceed from the general to the specific. Firstly, I briefly discuss the history of epigrams and how dialogue epigrams are presented in this context (Section 1.2).

    A Commentary on Solon's Poems A Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Maria Noussia University College London February, 1999 BIET, LOIMOI1 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a Commentary on Solon's Poems (elegiacs and tetrameters; the iambic trimeters, though taken into consideration for the examination of the rest of the poems, are not given a detailed commentary). Solon's poetry is studied mainly from a literary point of view; it is compared with the language and vocabulary of his predecessors Homer, Hesiod, and the other lyric poets of his age. The study attests the influence of Solon's language, content, motives, and ethical / political ideas on his lyric successors, on Aristophanes and the tragedians (above all Euripides who specifically appears to share the ideology of the polls and the heightened consciousness about civic affairs which emerged in the Athenian community under Solon) as well as the coincidence between Solon's ethical statements and the topoi of the language of the inscriptions. This is not a historical Commentary; the connections of Solon's poetry with his Laws as well as with the historical situation of his time and the reforms he sponsored are taken into consideration only when they are useful and rewarding in the answers they provide for the interpretation of the Solonian poetry. The emphasis of this work is on Solon's poetry as a work of Literature and on Solon's poetic achievements. The close examination of his poems reveals his creativity, his artistry together with his view of the process of poetic composition as technical making and his focus on his craftsmanship as a tool for his profession as a politician and as a statesman.

  • Homer and Oral Tradition: the Formula, Part II1
    Oral Tradition, 3/1-2 (1988): 11-60 Homer and Oral Tradition: The Formula, Part II1 Mark W. Edwards §6. Studies of specifi c formulae This section deals with the usage and adaptation of individual formulae, and with the availability of formulae for particular concepts. It does not cover studies of the meaning of obscure words, or how much signifi cance a formulaic expression might retain in conventional usage (see §7), or the location of formulae within the verse (see §3). The discussion is arranged in four parts: name-epithet formulae; epithets; common-nouns and epithets; verbs. 1. Name-epithet formulae The fundamental work was Milman Parry’s fi rst monograph, published in 1928 (M. Parry 1971). Parry listed the commonest proper name and epithet formulae after the mid-verse caesura (10-13) and after the caesura in the fourth foot (15-16), and gave tables showing the formulae of different lengths for eleven major gods and heroes in the nominative case (39) and the genitive case (57). He also listed the proper name and epithet formulae for heroines (97f.), for the Greek race (101), for other peoples (99ff.), and for countries (106-9). Page 1959 lists formulae for Priam (241-42), Hector (248-51), Patroclus (286), Helen (287), Alexander/Paris (290f.), Aeneas (291), the Achaeans (242-48), the Trojans (251f.) and Ilium/Troy (292-94). Bowra 1960 examines the epithets for Troy and other cities to determine if the meanings are appropriate, his work including a listing of the formulae by metrical shape. He does not use the material to determine how far the formulaic system is complete, or list the metrical variants which preserve or violate economy.

  • The Betrayal of Aeneas Giampiero Scafoglio
    The Betrayal of Aeneas Giampiero Scafoglio VERYONE KNOWS the story of Aeneas, who flees with his father on his shoulders and his son by the hand, away from a Troy set on fire by the Achaeans. This poignant E 1 scene occurs in the second book of the Aeneid (2.721–724); hence it has permanently entered into our literary and artistic heritage, as a shining example of pietas, conceived especially as a loyalty to family ties and dedication to father and son.2 That scene has its origin in the Greek world, as attested by Attic vase painting beginning in the late sixth century B.C.;3 1 Here is that famous passage: haec fatus latos umeros subiectaque colla / ueste super fuluique insternor pelle leonis, / succedoque oneri; dextrae se paruus Iulus / implicuit sequiturque patrem non passibus aequis. Cf. N. Horsfall, Virgil, Aeneid 2. A Commentary (Leiden/Boston 2008) 500 ff., esp. 508–510. 2 Cf. Aen. 1.378, 544–545; P. Boyancé, La religion de Virgile (Paris 1963) 58– 82; C. J. Mackie, The Characterisation of Aeneas (Edinburgh 1988). On the con- cept of pietas and its role in the Augustan political program: K. Galinsky, Augustan Culture (Princeton 1996) 288–331. But an alternative and more problematic point of view is expressed by M. C. J. Putnam, Virgil’s Aeneid: Interpretation and Influence (Chapel Hill 1995) 134–151; Ch. Perkell, “Aeneid 1: An Epic Programme,” in Reading Virgil’s Aeneid. An Interpretive Guide (Norman 1999) 29 ff., at 35–37. 3 E.g. the Attic black-figure eye-cup from Vulci Louvre F.122 (530–520 B.C.) and the oinochoe Louvre F.118 (520–510), the storage jar at the Getty Museum, inv.

  • Herodotus: Father of History, Father of Lies
    Herodotus: Father of History, Father of Lies By David Pipes It was in the early days of the Peloponnesian War that Herodotus completed his History and published it. It was something new, something unique. It was not a chronicle, nor was it a local history. It was historia <1>-- researches into a major event of the past. It is no coincidence that Herodotus wrote his work at this time. In his History Herodotus tells of the Persian Empire, its rise to the height of imperialism, and its faltering and ultimate collapse. Some say that Athens, too, had reached the height of her imperialism, and the Peloponnesian war would bring to Athens what the war Herodotus wrote about brought to Persia. The author of the History wanted to do more than retell the events of the past, he want to prove a point and make sure the people of the future remembered and learned from the events of the past. He did not want to relate his story. He wanted to relate history. The Life and Travels of Herodotus People sometimes let their own experiences filter the way they interpret the events of the past. For this reason it is important that anyone seeking to study the work of another-- whether a history, a diary, or even a personal letter--should devote some effort to the study of that person's life. Only then can a student of history effectively judge the work of the historian in its proper light. Was the author trying to make a point? Was he hoping to convince the reader of something? If there is some deeper meaning to the history that someone creates, the key to unlocking that meaning will be found in his past.

  • ML West, the Epic Cycle
    BMCR 2014.10.06 on the BMCR blog Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2014.10.06 M. L. West, The Epic Cycle: A Commentary on the Lost Troy Epics. Oxford; New York: Oxford University Press, 2013. Pp. ix, 334. ISBN 9780199662258. $150.00. Reviewed by Patrick O’Sullivan, University of Canterbury, New Zealand ([email protected]) Martin West’s study of the lost Trojan epics is another major contribution of this scholar to Classics in a career spanning well over half a century. As the subtitle makes clear, this commentary does not deal with the Theban saga, or the fragments of other epic poems, such as the Heraclea of Panyassis or the Theseis. Instead, the focus is on those poems, apart from the Iliad and Odyssey, which complete the entire Trojan saga and its aftermath. Such poems include episodes ranging from Zeus’ Malthusian decision to cause the war at Troy (and Thebes) to relieve Earth of excessive human population in the Cypria—the world’s first-known prequel—to the death of Odysseus as recounted in the Telegony In the preface West announces that he intends to go beyond analyzing specific fragments and testimonia; he also aims to reconstruct the general narratives of the lost epics (cf. also pp. 51-4). To do this he relies, inevitably, but not solely, on the prose summaries we have from Proclus’ Chrestomathy; but he also takes into account what ancient literature and art depicting the same stories can tell us about the cyclic epics. The commentary, then, is broad in scope, and is all the more engaging as a result.

  • Birds in the Ancient World from a to Z
    BIRDS IN THE ANCIENT WORLD FROM A TO Z Why did Aristotle claim that male Herons’ eyes bleed during mating? Do Cranes winter near the source of the Nile? Was Lesbia’s pet really a House Sparrow? Ornithology was born in ancient Greece, when Aristotle and other writers studied and sought to identify birds. Birds in the Ancient World from A to Z gathers together the information available from classical sources, listing all the names that ancient Greeks gave their birds and all their descriptions and analyses. Arnott identifies (where achievable) as many of them as possible in the light of modern ornithological studies. The ancient Greek bird names are transliterated into English script, and all that the classical writers said about birds is presented in English. This book is accordingly the first complete discussion of classical bird names that will be accessible to readers without ancient Greek. The only previous study in English on the same scale was published over seventy years ago and required a knowledge of Greek and Latin. Since then there has been an enormous expansion in ornithological studies which has vastly increased our knowledge of birds, enabling us to evaluate (and explain) ancient Greek writings about birds with more confidence. With an exhaustive bibliography (partly classical scholarship and partly ornithological) added to encourage further study Birds in the Ancient World from A to Z is the definitive study of birds in the Greek and Roman world. W.Geoffrey Arnott is former Professor of Greek at the University of Leeds and Fellow of the British Academy.
