  • The Will of Zeus in the Iliad 273
    Kerostasia, the Dictates of Fate, and the Will of Zeus in the Iliad 273 KEROSTASIA, THE DICTATES OF FATE, AND THE WILL OF ZEUS IN THE ILIAD J. V. MORRISON Death speaks: There was a merchant in Baghdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, “Master, just now when I was in the market-place I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Death that jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture; now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me.” The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the market- place and he saw me standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, “Why did you make a threatening gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning?” “That was not a threatening gesture,” I said, “it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Baghdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.”1 The atmosphere of inevitability—most importantly meeting or avoiding death—pervades the Iliad. One encounter seemingly intertwined 1 As told by W. Somerset Maugham, facing the title page of O’Hara 1952.

  • Sing, Goddess, Sing of the Rage of Achilles, Son of Peleus—
    Homer, Iliad Excerpts 1 HOMER, ILIAD TRANSLATION BY IAN JOHNSTON Dr. D’s note: These are excerpts from the complete text of Johnston’s translation, available here. The full site shows original line numbers, and has some explanatory notes, and you should use it if you use this material for one of your written topics. Book I: The quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon begins The Greeks have been waging war against Troy and its allies for 10 years, and in raids against smaller allies, have already won war prizes including women like Chryseis and Achilles’ girl, Briseis. Sing, Goddess, sing of the rage of Achilles, son of Peleus— that murderous anger which condemned Achaeans to countless agonies and threw many warrior souls deep into Hades, leaving their dead bodies carrion food for dogs and birds— all in fulfilment of the will of Zeus. Start at the point where Agamemnon, son of Atreus, that king of men, quarrelled with noble Achilles. Which of the gods incited these two men to fight? That god was Apollo, son of Zeus and Leto. Angry with Agamemnon, he cast plague down onto the troops—deadly infectious evil. For Agamemnon had dishonoured the god’s priest, Chryses, who’d come to the ships to find his daughter, Chryseis, bringing with him a huge ransom. In his hand he held up on a golden staff the scarf sacred to archer god Apollo. He begged Achaeans, above all the army’s leaders, the two sons of Atreus: “Menelaus, Agamemnon, sons of Atreus, all you well-armed Achaeans, may the gods on Olympus grant you wipe out Priam’s city, and then return home safe and sound.

Although associated with various places, he became commonly identified with the Atlas Mountains in northwest Africa (Modern-day Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia).

II Abstract Since the dawn of history mythology has fulfilled a significant role within many aspects of people’s cultures. It has been handed down from one generation to the next one through different means and has been depicted in numerous ways. The antique Greek mythology is a well-known mythology which emerged from the ancient religions of the island of Crete and gathers a wide range of legends, myths and stories.

  • 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).

  • The Punishment of Atlas
    The Myth of Tantalus (from Wikipedia.org) In mythology, Tantalus became one of the inhabitants of Tartarus, the deepest portion of the Underworld, reserved for the punishment of evildoers; there Odysseus saw him. Tantalus was initially known for having been welcomed to Zeus’ table in Olympus. There he is said to have misbehaved and stolen ambrosia and nectar to bring it back to his people, and revealed the secrets of the gods. Most famously, Tantalus offered up his son, Pelops, as sacrifice. He cut Pelops up, boiled him, and served him up in a banquet for the gods. The gods became aware of the gruesome nature of the menu, so they didn’t touch the offering; only Demeter, distraught by the loss of her daughter, Persephone, absentmindedly ate part of the boy’s shoulder. Clotho, one of the three Fates, ordered by Zeus, brought the boy to life again (she collected the parts of the body and boiled them in a sacred cauldron), rebuilding his shoulder with one wrought of ivory made by Hephaestus and presented by Demeter. The revived Pelops grew to be an extraordinarily handsome youth. The god Poseidon took him to Mount Olympus to teach him to use chariots. Later, Zeus threw Pelops out of Olympus due to his anger at Tantalus. The Greeks of classical times claimed to be horrified by Tantalus’s doings; cannibalism, human sacrifice and infanticide were atrocities and taboo. Tantalus’s punishment for his act, now a proverbial term for temptation without satisfaction (the source of the English word “tantalize”), was to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree with low branches.

  • In the Homeric Hymn to Hermes
    HARRELL, SARAH E., Apollo's Fraternal Threats: Language of Succession and Domination in the "Homeric Hymn to Hermes" , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 32:4 (1991:Winter) p.307 Apollo's Fraternal Threats: Language of Succession and Domination In the Homeric Hymn to Hermes Sarah E. Harrell OLLO'S PRESENCE IN THE Hymn to Hermes at first strikes 1\the reader as odd, even intrusive. Why, in a format designed to celebrate Hermes, should Apollo play such a prominent role? Some critics have found in the confrontation between Apollo and Hermes evidence of a cultic rivalry be­ tween the two gods; others emphasize the comic nature of their feud. 1 Although cultic realities and comic concerns might account for the prominence of Apollo here, a more immediate answer may lie in the poetic traditions to which the Hymn re­ fers. Apollo's first words to Hermes, in which he threatens to hurl the young god into Tartarus, reveal a specific connection between the conflict of Apollo and Hermes on the one hand, and on the other, Zeus' establishment of his power on Olym­ pus. Further examination will show that the theogonic connota­ tions of the brothers' struggle are appropriate to a hymn that not only tells the story of the birth of Hermes, but also represents a crisis for the Olympian order: a new god's en­ trance into the pantheon.2 When Apollo discovers through an omen the identity of the thief who has stolen his cattle, it becomes clear that this conflict is one between siblings (213ff):3 I ].
