A Ship Fired, a Tide Turned LINES 1-12 BOOK SIXTEEN A Ship Fired, a Tide Turned LINES 1-12 That was the way the fighting went for one seagoing ship. Meanwhile Patr6klos approached Akhilleus his commander, streaming warm tea.rs- like a ,haded mountain spring that makes a rockledge nm with dusky water. Akhilleus watched him come, and felt a pang for him. Then the great p1ince and runner said: "Patr6klos, why all the weeping?

  • B. L. Gildersleeve on Pindar Nemean 3.74-75
    BRIGGS, WARD W., JR, B. L. Gildersleeve on Pindar "Nemean" 3.74-75 , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 25:3 (1984) p.233 B. L. Gildersleeve on Pindar Nemean 3.74-75 Ward W. Briggs, Jr N 1898 Charles Eliot Norton, the nation's foremost champion of I Dante and a leading Northern literary critic who influenced a host of literary figures from Henry James to T. s. Eliot,l wrote to Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve, the nation's most visible representative of German philological training and a man of considerable critical ability. Named emeritus at Harvard in November 1897, with his duties confined to teaching a small class in Dante, Norton was depressed at the thought of retirement,2 and sought the advice of his Southern near-contemporary on the Greek view of the ages of man and its accompanying virtues, as described in Pindar Nemean 3.70-75. Gil­ dersleeve's answer, one of his rare letters on purely philological matters, gives considerable insight into his critical method. The poem in question is a hymn on the victory in the pancration by Aristocleides, an Aeginetan. It opens with a picture of the youths standing on the banks of the Asopus waiting for the Muse to arrive with their victory song (1-8). The Muse is to sing of Aegina, which the victor has ennobled by a triumph worthy of the Myrmidons, and he has thus figuratively passed the pillars of Heracles (9-26). The mention of Heracles leads Pindar to digress on the Aeacids, Peleus, Telamon (31-42), and the young Achilles (43-63).

  • 1 Reading Athenaios' Epigraphical Hymn to Apollo: Critical Edition And
    Reading Athenaios’ Epigraphical Hymn to Apollo: Critical Edition and Commentaries DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Corey M. Hackworth Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Fritz Graf, Advisor Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Carolina López-Ruiz 1 Copyright by Corey M. Hackworth 2015 2 Abstract This dissertation is a study of the Epigraphical Hymn to Apollo that was found at Delphi in 1893, and since attributed to Athenaios. It is believed to have been performed as part of the Athenian Pythaïdes festival in the year 128/7 BCE. After a brief introduction to the hymn, I provide a survey and history of the most important editions of the text. I offer a new critical edition equipped with a detailed apparatus. This is followed by an extended epigraphical commentary which aims to describe the history of, and arguments for and and against, readings of the text as well as proposed supplements and restorations. The guiding principle of this edition is a conservative one—to indicate where there is uncertainty, and to avoid relying on other, similar, texts as a resource for textual restoration. A commentary follows, which traces word usage and history, in an attempt to explore how an audience might have responded to the various choices of vocabulary employed throughout the text. Emphasis is placed on Athenaios’ predilection to utilize new words, as well as words that are non-traditional for Apolline narrative. The commentary considers what role prior word usage (texts) may have played as intertexts, or sources of poetic resonance in the ears of an audience.

One aspect of choral activitywhich Calame discusses is education (1977: 1.385-420; 1997: 221-244). In this treatment Calame deals with the chorus as the place of education, the instruction given to the chorus, the metaphoricalrepresentation of education and marriage, and the homoerotic elements

  • 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.

No. _Zv_^ _ii ALL RIGHTS RESERVED INTRODUCTION Our grandfathers regarded the study of mythology as a necessary adjunct to a polite education, without a knowledge of which neither the classical nor the more modem poets could be read with understanding. But it is now recognised that upon mythology and folklore rests the basis of the new science of Comparative Religion. The evolution of religion from mythology has now been made plain. It is a law of evolution that, though the parent types which precede certain forms are doomed to perish, they yet bequeath to their descendants certain of their characteristics ; and although mythology has perished (in the civilised world, at least), it has left an indelible stamp not only upon modem religions, but also upon local and national custom. The work of Fruger, Lang, Immerwahr, and others has revolutionised mythology, and has evolved from the unexplained mass of tales of forty years ago a definite and systematic science.

    The Curious Case of Erysichthon A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Elizabeth Torresson IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advisor: Nita Krevans December 2019 © Elizabeth Torresson 2019 Acknowledgments First, I would like to thank the department for their support and especially the members of my committee: Nita Krevans, Susanna Ferlito, Jackie Murray, Christopher Nappa, and Melissa Harl Sellew. The seeds of this dissertation were planted in my senior year of college when Jackie Murray spread to me with her contagious enthusiasm a love of Hellenistic poetry. Without her genuine concern for my success and her guidance in those early years, I would not be where I am today. I also owe a shout-out to my undergraduate professors, especially Robin Mitchell-Boyask and Daniel Tompkins, who inspired my love of Classics. At the University of Minnesota, Nita Krevans took me under her wing and offered both emotional and intellectual support at various stages along the way. Her initial suggestions, patience, and encouragement allowed this dissertation to take the turn that it did. I am also very grateful to Christopher Nappa and Melissa Harl Sellew for their unflagging encouragement and kindness over the years. It was in Melissa’s seminar that an initial piece of this dissertation was begun. My heartfelt thanks also to Susanna Ferlito, who graciously stepped in at the last minute and offered valuable feedback, and to Susan Noakes, for offering independent studies so that I could develop my interest in Italian language and literature.

When the Fates prophesied that Achiltes would die in the Trojon War, Thetis aitempted to make her infant son immortal. In one version of the story, Thetis rubbed Achiltes with ombrosia and placed him in the hearth fire to moke him immortat. According to a later legend, she bothed him in the River Styx.
