  • Handout 2008 for Dialogue 20
    Dialogue 20 The hero as mirror of men’s and women’s experiences. Key word: telos ‘coming full circle, rounding out, fulfillment, completion, ending, end; successfully passing through an ordeal; ritual, rite’. To be linked with another key word, athlos (aethlos) ‘contest, ordeal; competition’; derivative word: athlētēs ‘athlete’; related concepts are agōn ‘contest, ordeal; competition’ and ponos ‘pain’ [sharp, shooting pain] and kamatos ‘pain’ [dull, aching pain]. Note the beginning of the Hippolytus. At line 32, there is a reference to a sacred space in Athens where Aphroditē epi hippolutōi ‘Our Lady of Horses Unbridled’ is worshipped; this name contains the imagery of chariot-driving. Experiences that are ingredients for coming of age, initiation, rite of passage men’s experiences: song and dance, marriage; athletics; hunting, war women’s experiences: song and dance, marriage; athletics [mostly running]; menstruation, childbirth The underlinings indicate asymmetry from a modern point of view but symmetry from an ancient point of view. A) Euripides Hippolytus 73-87: For you, goddess, I bring this woven garland, culled from a virgin meadow, where it is not fit for the shepherd to pasture his flocks, nor has iron yet come there, but unspoiled still in springtime the bees fly through this meadow. Aidōs tends it with pure river water, and those who by their nature always use moderation [sōphrosunē] in all things, instead of having learned it, they can pick flowers, but it is not lawful [themis] for the kakos. Philē mistress, for your golden locks accept this headband from my reverent hand. I alone among mortals have this privilege: I keep company with you and make conversation, hearing your voice although not seeing your face.

  • On April 20Th, Dr. Anja Slaw
    “How fast does a city recover from destruction? A new view of the creation of the Severe Style” On April 20th, Dr. Anja Slawisch, a research fellow at University of Cambridge, presented her careful reconsideration of the transition from Archaic period to Classical period in art, especially in sculpture. I will first give some historical background and conventional understanding of this transition, and then elaborate on her argument. Conventionally, the sack of Athens during the Persian War in 480 BCE spurred the artistic development from austere Archaic style (see statues of Kleobis and Biton below1) to the Severe Style (see Harmodius and Aristogeiton, the tyrannicides2), and hence marks the transition from Archaic period into Classical period in art. The most important feature that sets severe style apart from the Archaic is a more naturalistic depiction of the human anatomy. For statues of the tyrannicides, the human bodies were made as an organic system - their pelves shift according to their stances, as opposed to the awkward posture of Kleobis and Biton. In this widely-accepted narrative, the destruction of Athens, heavily influencing the psyche of Athenians, stimulated these stark changes and inventions in artistic style. As a consequence, 480 BCE became a reference point for archaeologists in dating these statues according to their features. Statues of Kleobis and Biton Harmodius and Aristogeiton 1 Statues of Kleobis and Biton (identified by inscriptions on the base) dedicated to Delphi by the city of Argos, signed by ​ [Poly?]medes of Argos. Marble, ca. 580 BC. H. 1.97 m (6 ft. 5 ½ in.), after restoration.

Macdonald (University of Oxford) Abstract Literacy was widespread in large areas of ancient Arabia, as shown by the huge numbers of graffiti by both settled people and nomads. But, it isstill extremely difficult to establish a reliable chronology for the literate periods of pre-Islamic Arabian history. This has led to a misuse of palaeography in an attempt to create chronological sequences based on letter forms from undated inscriptions and documents, on widely different kinds of surface, with different purposes, and often separated by large distances. This prac- tice is not confined to Arabian inscriptions but is widespread in Semitic epigraphy.

  • Case in the Qurˀānic Consonantal Text
    Case in the Qurˀānic Consonantal Text By MARIJN VAN PUTTEN (Leiden University) and PHILLIP W. STOKES (University of Tennessee) Abstract The nature of the language underlying the Qurˀānic Consonantal Text (QCT) has been a topic of scholarly discussion for well over a hundred years. The traditional position is that this language was essentially identical to that of the pre-Islamic poetry. The mismatch between the language of the reading traditions and the orthography has normally been explained as the result of orthographic conventions such as ‘pausal spelling’. A minority of scholars have challenged this view, suggesting instead that the Qurˀān was originally delivered in a local dialect and only subsequently brought in line with Classical Arabic. Neither permutation of these two positions has been based on the one part of the Qurˀānic text that can, with certainty, be dated back to the early Islamic period, the Qurˀānic Con- sonantal Text. This paper examines the nominal case system of Qurˀānic Arabic. Instead of relying on traditions that developed a century or more after the original composition of the Qurˀān, we rely primarily on the QCT itself, paying special attention to implications of internal rhyme schemata, as well as patterns in the orthography. We will show, based on internal data supported by, but not dependent upon, the orthography that the language behind the QCT possessed a functional but reduced case system, in which cases marked by long vowels were retained, whereas those marked by short vowels were mostly lost. A place where the short case vowel appear to have been retained is in construct.

  • Focus on Greek Sculpture
    Focus on Greek Sculpture Notes for teachers Greek sculpture at the Ashmolean • The classical world was full of large high quality statues of bronze and marble that honoured gods, heroes, rulers, military leaders and ordinary people. The Ashmolean’s cast collection, one of the best- preserved collections of casts of Greek and Roman sculpture in the UK, contains some 900 plaster casts of statues, reliefs and architectural sculptures. It is particularly strong in classical sculpture but also includes important Hellenistic and Roman material. Cast collections provided exemplary models for students in art academies to learn to draw and were used for teaching classical archaeology. • Many of the historical casts, some dating back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, are in better condition than the acid rain-damaged originals from which they were moulded. They are exact plaster replicas made, with piece moulds that leave distinctive seams on the surface of the cast. • The thematic arrangement of the Cast Gallery presents the contexts in which statues were used in antiquity; sanctuaries, tombs and public spaces.

  • How to Write History: Thucydides and Herodotus in the Ancient Rhetorical Tradition
    How to write history: Thucydides and Herodotus in the ancient rhetorical tradition A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Scott Kennedy, B.A., B.S. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Anthony Kaldellis, Adviser Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Will Batstone Copyright by Scott Kennedy 2018 Abstract Modern students of Thucydides and Herodotus may find it odd to think of them as rhetoricians. Yet in the ancient world, both historians (and especially Thucydides) played an important role in rhetorical schools. They were among the favorite authors of ancient teachers of rhetoric and served as foundational pillars of the ancient curriculum, providing themes for school exercises and even for such seminal texts as Hermogenes' theoretical treatises on rhetoric. Modern scholars might never read technical rhetorical texts such as Hermogenes. They almost certainly would never turn to Hermogenes and his kind to help them understand Thucydides or Herodotus. But for our ancient intellectual predecessors, such an approach would have been unconscionable, as ancient rhetoric was the theoretical lens with which they understood and appreciated historical writings. In this dissertation, I explore the confluence of rhetoric and historiography in the ancient world through an examination of how Herodotus and Thucydides were used in ancient schools and then by later historians. Chapter 1 and 2 outline how these historians were embedded and encoded within the rhetorical curriculum. In Chapter 1, I examine how Herodotus and Thucydides entered the rhetorical curriculum and how rhetors incorporated them into the rhetorical curriculum through an examination of the surviving progymnasmata, scholia, and pedagogical myths.
