After heaping together everything I could find about him in the library, I came to the conclusion that I still needed more information. So I decided to embrace my identity as a loyal member of the ‘Internet generation’ and began my virtual journey through the World Wide Web in search of articles on Nepos.

  • De Excidio Troiae by Dares Phrygius and Valerius Flaccus
    800 Miscellanea / D. Galli / Mnemosyne 66 (2013) 800-808 De excidio Troiae by Dares Phrygius and Valerius Flaccus De excidio Troiae by Dares Phrygius is a short prose tale concerning the Trojan war,1) written probably between the 5th and the 6th centuries AD.2) In the first three chapters it starts by narrating the journey of the Argonauts to Colchis with the goal of conquering the golden fleece, presented as the remote cause of the Trojan war. In chapter one Dares narrates that Pelias, king of the Peloponnese, had a brother called Aeson and that, since his son Jason is a strong and brave man who could become a peril for his power, Pelias thought up the voyage to Colchis in order to kill him. In the second chapter Dares describes how Jason sailed with his fellows towards Colchis and landed first on the Phrygian coast where he suffered king Laomedon’s threats. Chapter 3 tells Hercules’ revenge on Laomedon with the looting of Troy, the murder of the king and the kidnapping of Hesione, his daughter. Hermann Dunger3) in 1869 was the first to recognize many similarities between these initial chapters of Dares’ tale and Valerius Flaccus’ Argonautica, advancing the thesis that they are the result of Dares’ familiarity with Valerius’ account; Dunger’s thesis has recently been restated by Andrew Zissos in his diachronic survey4) of the literary and artistic reception of Valerius Flaccus’ Argonautica from the Flavian period down to the 20th century. The most important similari- ties between the two poems pointed out by Dunger are the following: 1.

  • Rotting Ships and Bloodied Water Anthony Vivian
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Rotting Ships and Bloodied Water: Destructive Liquids and Thucydides’ Skepticism of Naval Imperialism A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History by Anthony Vivian 2020 © Copyright by Anthony Vivian 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Rotting Ships and Bloodied Water: Destructive Liquids and Thucydides’ Skepticism of Naval Imperialism by Anthony Vivian Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor David Daniel Phillips, Chair Thucydides’ construction of liquids and solids undermines both the rhetoric of Athenian characters within his History and the consensus reading of this text. This dissertation analyzes Thucydides’ depiction of liquids as active and destructive and contextualizes it within Greek history and literature. From the oldest extant Greek texts, authors have described all sorts of liquids as active, mutable, and in motion. Their activeness is the fundamental quality that separates them from solids. One major subcategory of liquid activeness in Greek literature is liquid destructiveness. Greek authors consistently show the sea and other liquids to be dangerous, destructive, and deadly. These authors developed this theme as Greek seafaring and naval warfare consistently !ii increased in the Aegean from the end of the eighth century up through the fifth century BCE and beyond. Thucydides writes within these well-established traditions. He portrays the motion and activeness of liquids in scenes of changing topography. He maps the binary between active liquids and inert solids onto his important dichotomy between Athens and Sparta. The Athenians, who control a naval empire, are active, mutable, and loquacious; the land-based Spartans are stable, conservative, and laconic.

  • Robert Graves the White Goddess
    ROBERT GRAVES THE WHITE GODDESS IN DEDICATION All saints revile her, and all sober men Ruled by the God Apollo's golden mean— In scorn of which I sailed to find her In distant regions likeliest to hold her Whom I desired above all things to know, Sister of the mirage and echo. It was a virtue not to stay, To go my headstrong and heroic way Seeking her out at the volcano's head, Among pack ice, or where the track had faded Beyond the cavern of the seven sleepers: Whose broad high brow was white as any leper's, Whose eyes were blue, with rowan-berry lips, With hair curled honey-coloured to white hips. Green sap of Spring in the young wood a-stir Will celebrate the Mountain Mother, And every song-bird shout awhile for her; But I am gifted, even in November Rawest of seasons, with so huge a sense Of her nakedly worn magnificence I forget cruelty and past betrayal, Careless of where the next bright bolt may fall. FOREWORD am grateful to Philip and Sally Graves, Christopher Hawkes, John Knittel, Valentin Iremonger, Max Mallowan, E. M. Parr, Joshua IPodro, Lynette Roberts, Martin Seymour-Smith, John Heath-Stubbs and numerous correspondents, who have supplied me with source- material for this book: and to Kenneth Gay who has helped me to arrange it. Yet since the first edition appeared in 1946, no expert in ancient Irish or Welsh has offered me the least help in refining my argument, or pointed out any of the errors which are bound to have crept into the text, or even acknowledged my letters.

  • Archaic Greece Edited by H
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-52929-7 - The Cambridge Companion to Archaic Greece Edited by H. A. Shapiro Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to ARCHAIC GREECE S The Cambridge Companion to Archaic Greece provides a wide-ranging syn- thesis of history, society, and culture during the formative period of Ancient Greece, from the Age of Homer in the late eighth century to the Persian Wars of 490–480 BCE. In ten clearly written and succinct chapters, leading scholars from around the English-speaking world treat all aspects of the civilization of Archaic Greece, from social, political, and military history to early achievements in poetry, philosophy, and the visual arts. Archaic Greece was an age of experimentation and intellec- tual ferment that laid the foundations for much of Western thought and culture. Under the rule of strongmen known as “tyrants,” individual city-states in Greece rose to great power and wealth, and after a long period of isolation, many cities sent out colonies that spread Hellenism to all corners of the Mediterranean world. The Greeks came together in great sanctuaries like Delphi and Olympia to compete in athletic contests and celebrate their gods with the earliest examples of mon- umental architecture and sculpture. The book offers a vivid and fully documented account of this critical stage in the history of the West. H. A. Shapiro is the W.H. Collins Vickers Professor of Archaeology and Professor of Classics at The Johns Hopkins University. A Fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, and the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, he is the author of Art and Cult under the Tyrants in Athens (1989), Personifications in Greek Art (1993), and Myth into Art: Poet and Painter in Classical Greece (1994) and coauthor of Women in the Classical World (1994).
