Whence the Selloi of Dodona? Σελλοí / ‛Ελλοí CHAPTER TEN WHENCE THE SELLOI OF DODONA? ΣΕΛΛΟÍ / ‛ΕΛΛΟÍ Introduction At a major turning point in the plot of the Iliad (16.220–56) Achilles off ers a prayer to Zeus of Dodona that his comrade Patroclus achieve both success in battle and a safe return to the ships; as events unfold, Zeus leaves the prayer only half answered. It is a scene full of pathos, and Achilles’ prayer is appropriately formal and ritualistic, beginning with a somber invocation (16.233–35): Ζεῦ ἄνα ∆ωδωναῖε Πελασγικὲ τηλόθι ναίων ∆ωδώνης μεδέων δυσχειμέρου, ἀμφὶ δὲ Σελλοὶ σοὶ ναίουσ᾿ ὑποφῆται ἀνιπτόποδες χαμαιεῦναι As H.W. Parke observes in the introduction to his comparative study of the oracles of Zeus, this is the fi rst appearance of the oracle of Dodona in a Greek author, and the meanings of many of the words in Achilles’ prayer were as obscure and puzzling to the Greek readers of the Classical and Hellenistic periods as they are to modern readers.1 Ancient commentators raised questions about: ἄνα, ∆ωδωναῖε, Πελασγικέ, δυσχειμέρου, Σελλοί, ὑποφῆται, ἀνιπτόποδες, and χαμαιεῦναι. Th e modern disciplines of philology and anthropology have yielded some answers, but many questions remain, foremost those concerning the Σελλοί. Who are these strange dwellers of Dodona, who sleep on the ground with unwashed feet and serve as the interpreters of Zeus? Th ey seem like fossils from the hoary past. Ancient readers of the passage could not even agree on the proper form of their name. It is reported in various ancient sources that some early commentators on the Homeric text understood the collocation of words diff erently—as ἀμφὶ δὲ σ᾿ Ἑλλοί instead of ἀμφὶ δὲ Σελλοί: so, for example, the A and T scholia.2 And some modern editions and 1 H.W. Parke (1967) 1. 2 Th e A scholia on Il. 2.659, 16.234; T scholia on Il. 16.234; cf. Et. Magn. sub Σελλοί. 202 chapter ten commentaries have followed suit: Leaf ’s edition of the Iliad, for example, actually prints Ἑλλοί, and the recent Cambridge commentary assumes it in this passage.3 I believe that each form is correct in its own way: Homer meant Σελλοί, and that is what we should read in our texts of this passage, but the actual historic name of the tribe was Ἑλλοί, a very ancient name of which Homeric Ἑλλάς, Ἕλληνες, etc.—as well as non-Homeric Ἕλλην, Ἑλλοπίη, etc.—are cognate.4 During the oral period of epic transmission one of Homer’s bardic predecessors mis- heard a formulaic expression in which the name was embedded and metanalyzed Ἑλλοί as Σελλοί, whereaft er the word was passed down through the ages and took on a life of its own, not just in epic diction but also in myth and folktale, in historical and philosophical texts, as well as in other genres of literature. Internal Evidence Let us consider the internal evidence fi rst, before moving on to the external. Th e internal evidence is not decisive, but I believe that it favors Σελλοί as the reading in this Homeric passage. Perhaps some slight support for Ἑλλοί can be drawn from a distinction, fi rst recorded in 3 Leaf, Iliad on 16.234; Janko, Commentary on Il. 16.234. 4 So A. Lesky (1928) esp. 53–54, 115–129, who reconstructs an early cult at Dodona that conjoined in holy marriage (ἵερος γάμος) a sky-god associated with the double-axe and an earth-goddess associated with the tree, whose memories survive in the fi gures of Ἑλλός, the woodsman and mythical cult founder of Dodona, and Ἑλλώτις, an epi- thet of Athena in Corinth and of Europa in Crete. In support of the form Ἑλλοί in Il. 16.234 Lesky marshals a network of cognates associated in some way with Dodona: ancient Ἑλλάς, which Aristotle locates around Dodona, along with its inhabitants the Ἕλληνες and their eponymous ancestor Ἕλλην; Ἑλλοπίη, which Hesiod locates near Dodona, along with its presumed inhabitants the *Ἕλλοπες; and Ἑλλά, which Hesychius calls the temple of Zeus at Dodona. If one is willing to wander beyond Dodona, there are of course a number of other cognates: e.g., Ἑλλήσποντος, the strait between the Euxine and Aegean, and its eponymous heroine Ἕλλη, who fell in while riding on a fl ying ram with a golden eece;fl Ἑλλωτίa, a festival of Athena at Corinth; and of course a myriad of derivatives in Ἑλλην-, Ἑλληνο-, Ἑλλαν-, Ἑλλανο-, Ἑλλαδ-, as well as various other compounds like Πανέλληνες, Φιλέλλην, etc. Th e depth and breadth of these cognates render unlikely the view that Ἑλλοί is simply a modernization of an older Greek form Σελλοί (so, e.g., G. Restelli [1970ab]), which alone of all these cognates would have had to survive a sound shift that occurred in greatest antiquity. Th ey also stack up formidably against the attempts to fi nd cognates of Σελλοί in other Indo-European languages (Gothic saljan ‘to sacrifi ce’; Latin solum ‘earth’ [hence ἀνιπτόποδες and χαμαιεῦναι]—so GEW sub Σελλοί), and even more so against attempts to fi nd cognates in Semitic languages (NW Semiticš ’l ‘to ask or interrogate’—so M. Delcor [1972] 31–32)..

  • Ancient Greek Divination by Sarah Iles Johnston Blackwell Ancient Religions
    Ancient Greek Divination by Sarah Iles Johnston Blackwell Ancient Religions. Malden, MA/Oxford: Wiley-Blackwell, 2008. Pp. xiv + 193. ISBN 978--1--4051--1573--5.Paper $27.95 Reviewed by Joshua J. Reynolds Center for Hellenic Studies, Washington, DC [email protected] This book provides an overview of Greek divination as a religious phenomenon. In particular, the author seeks to describe and explain both the details of Greek divinatory practices and how the ancients conceptualized those practices. As the title suggests, the discussion is restricted to divination as practiced in the Greek world, although the author does make abundant use of evidence from a much wider vari- ety of sources and time periods, including Roman and Christian writ- ers. The straightforward writing, logical organization, and absence of footnotes make the book accessible to a general audience; while the erudition, critical approach to prior scholarship, and thorough bibli- ography accommodate both classicists in general and specialists. The book contains five chapters: an introduction, two chapters devoted to institutional oracles, and two chapters covering indepen- dent diviners (including magicians). In chapter 1, the author sets out to justify her study in terms of the pervasiveness of divination, not only in ancient times but in modern cultural contexts as well. She points to the desire for divina- tory knowledge as a ‘basic human need’ [4]. The difference, however, between moderns and ancients is the degree of theoretical reflection among the latter. The ancients, Johnston argues, were theoretically inclined towards divination because the practice allowed mortals the possibility of conversing with the gods, as opposed to other religious practices, such as prayer or sacrifice, which did not return immediate answers.

  • Greece, the Land Where Myths Replaces Reality
    GREECE, THE LAND WHERE MYTHS REPLACE REALITY (Myths about Epirus) What is myth and what does it serve? Myth is a narrative based usually on a false story which can not be used as a replacement of history, but sometimes myth might be considered a distorted account of a real historical event. The myth does not differ much from a folktale and usually the boundary between them is very thin. Myth must not be used to reconstruct, however in the ancient society of the so called “”Ancient Greeks”” myth was usually regarded as a true account for a remote past. Surprisingly this ‘tradition’ is descended to the Modern Greeks as well. They never loose the chance to use the myths and the mythology of a remote past and to pose them as their real ethnic history. This job is being done combining the ancient myths with the ones already created in the modern era. Now let’s take a look at two Greek myths, respectively one ancient and one modern, while our job is to prove that even these myths are respectively hijacked or created to join realities not related to each other, but unfortunately propagandized belonging to a real history, the history of the Greek race. Thus before we analyze and expose some of their myths which are uncountable, we are inclined to say that whatever is considered Greek History is completely based on mythical stories, whose reliability and truthiness is deeply compromised for the mere fact that is based on myths not only by the Modern Greeks and especially philhellenes, but even by the ancient authors.

  • A HISTORY of the PELASGIAN THEORY. FEW Peoples Of
    A HISTORY OF THE PELASGIAN THEORY. FEW peoples of the ancient world have given rise to so much controversy as the Pelasgians; and of few, after some centuries of discussion, is so little clearly established. Like the Phoenicians, the Celts, and of recent years the Teutons, they have been a peg upon which to hang all sorts of speculation ; and whenever an inconvenient circumstance has deranged the symmetry of a theory, it has been safe to ' call it Pelasgian and pass on.' One main reason for this ill-repute, into which the Pelasgian name has fallen, has been the very uncritical fashion in which the ancient statements about the Pelasgians have commonly been mishandled. It has been the custom to treat passages from Homer, from Herodotus, from Ephorus, and from Pausanias, as if they were so many interchangeable bricks to build up the speculative edifice; as if it needed no proof that genealogies found sum- marized in Pausanias or Apollodorus ' were taken by them from poems of the same class with the Theogony, or from ancient treatises, or from prevalent opinions ;' as if, further, ' if we find them mentioning the Pelasgian nation, they do at all events belong to an age when that name and people had nothing of the mystery which they bore to the eyes of the later Greeks, for instance of Strabo;' and as though (in the same passage) a statement of Stephanus of Byzantium about Pelasgians in Italy ' were evidence to the same effect, perfectly unexceptionable and as strictly historical as the case will admit of 1 No one doubts, of course, either that popular tradition may transmit, or that late writers may transcribe, statements which come from very early, and even from contemporary sources.
