    1 SAPPHO: SAPPHO’S ‘AFTER-LIFE’ IN EARLY MODERN ENGLAND, 1550-1735 SAPPHO (fl. 630 BCE), GREEK POET. For a brief biography of Sappho, selections from her own works, an introduction to her early modern reception, reputation, and translation, as well as further texts concerning her early modern ‘after-life,’ see the print anthology, pp. 153-87. EDITIONS: For early modern and modern translations of Sappho’s verse, see the essay ‘Sappho’ in “Classical Writers, their Early Modern Reputations and Translations” (Online Companion). ANACREONTEA (FIRST PUBLISHED, 1554). The Anacreontea is a volume of approximately sixty lyric poems that was long attributed to the Greek poet Anacreon (c. 575-490 BCE), and was certainly believed to constitute his work in the early modern period. The first edition of the Anacreontea appeared in 1554 from the press of Henri Estienne; its verse was translated into a number of languages throughout the Renaissance and into the eighteenth century. For a brief biography of Anacreon and selections from his verse (i.e., largely from the Anacreontea), see the print anthology, pp. 187-90. EDITIONS: For selected early modern and modern translations of Anacreon and the Anacreontea, see the accompanying essay ‘Anacreon’ in “Classical Writers, their Early Modern Reputations and Translations” (Online Companion). 1 THE WORKS OF PETRONIUS ARBITER […] TO WHICH IS ADDED SOME OTHER OF THE ROMAN POETS (1714) SAPPHO’S VINDICATION By Anacreon2 Come golden-locks, come god of love,3 And take me up from this low crowd, Carry me through the orbs above, 1 st Petronius Arbiter Petronius Arbiter (fl. 1 c.

Copyright and re-use policy See http://shura.shu.ac.uk/information.html Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive http://shura.shu.ac.uk Spartan Boys: John Ford and Philip Sidney In the Prologue to The Broken Heart, Ford begins by unequivocally placing his play within its geographical location: ‘Our scene is Sparta’ are the first words spoken on stage.1 He goes on first to define the play as a serious piece of work, and then to make an assertion which has aroused considerable speculation: What may be here thought a fiction, when time’s youth Wanted some riper years, was known a truth. (Prologue, ll.14-15) This has often been taken to refer to the real-life relationship between Penelope Rich, sister of the Earl of Essex and the ‘Stella’ of Astrophil and Stella, and Sir Philip Sidney.2 The story of Orgilus and Penthea certainly does have elements in common with that of Sidney and his Stella, while the names of Ford’s characters may well seem to echo those of Argalus and Parthenia, who feature in one of the numerous sub-plots of the new Arcadia, and ‘the general indebtedness of Ford’s play to Sidney’s Arcadia has been noticed’.3 But Ford’s Spartan setting is a stark counterpoint to Sidney’s lush one of Arcadia, though even it, in the second version of The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia, is under threat from insurrection in neighbouring Sparta.

  • 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).

These works deserve our careful attention as the principal sources of the medieval Troy story and as examples of the anti-Homeric literature of late antiquity. In the introduction I have briefly described the influence of our authors on later European literature, and have tried to show how our Latin texts depend on Greek originals. For the latter purpose I have found the scholarship of Nathaniel Edward Griffin especially rewarding for Dictys and that of Otmar Schissel von Fleschenberg for Dares. I have used the notes to comment on matters of form (how our Latin texts probably differ from their Greek originals), to point out difficulties and incon­ sistencies, and to cite some of the sources and parallel versions of the stories that Dictys and Dares tell.

  • O Oceanids (Ὠκεανίδες). the 'Holy Company' of Daughters of *Ocean and *Tethys, and Sisters of the River-Gods. Their N
    O Oceanids (Ὠκεανίδες). The 'holy company' of daughters of *Ocean and *Tethys, and sisters of the river-gods. Their number varies, but Apollodorus names seven (Asia, *Styx, Electra, Doris, Eurynome, *Amphitrite, *Metis) and Hesiod forty-one, including, in addition to those mentioned by Apollodorus, *Calypso *Clymene and Philyra. Most of those named mated with gods (Amphitrite with Poseidon, Doris with Nereus for example) and produced important offspring (Athena was born from Metis and Zeus, Philyra mated with Kronos in the form of a horse and produced the centaur Chiron, Clymene was the mother of Prometheus, and also bore Phaethon to Helius the sun-god.). The sons of Ocean were the fresh-water rivers, but some of the daughters were sea-nymphs, others spirits of streams called after a characteristic of their water such as Ocyrrhoe ('swift-flowing') or Xanthe ('brownish-yellow'); Styx, unusually, was a female river deity, personifying the river of Hades. Calypso ruled over the island kingdom of Ogygia (but her parentage as a true Oceanid is disputed). Metis had the ability, common to sea-gods, of being able to change her shape, although she was little more than the personification of wisdom, swallowed by Zeus in order to absorb that wisdom and to contain any threat from the child with whom she was pregnant. Oceanids feature as the chorus in Prometheus Bound, a tragedy which is set at the north-eastern edge of the known world, and at a time before Zeus had consolidated his power. The Oceanids were part of the older, pre-Olympian race of gods, who had a role as consorts or mothers of other divinities, but were more often viewed anonymously as belonging to the vastness of the sea, to be placated in times of storm and turbulence.

Nothing is positively known, and little can be conjectured with any degree of probability, con- cerning the author of the Library. Writing in the ninth century of our era the patriarch Photius calls him Apollodorus the Gi'ammarian,^ and in the manu- scripts of his book he is described as Apollodorus the Athenian, Grammarian. Hence we may con- clude that Photius and the copyists identified our author with the eminent Athenian grammarian of that name, who flourished about 140 b.c. and wrote a number of learned works, now lost, including an elaborate treatise On the Gods in twenty-four books, and a poetical, or at all events versified. Chronicle in four books. 2 But in modern times good reasons have been given for rejecting this identification,^ ^ Photius, Bibliotheca, p.

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).
