  • Feasting in Homeric Epic 303
    HESPERIA 73 (2004) FEASTING IN Pages 301-337 HOMERIC EPIC ABSTRACT Feasting plays a centralrole in the Homeric epics.The elements of Homeric feasting-values, practices, vocabulary,and equipment-offer interesting comparisonsto the archaeologicalrecord. These comparisonsallow us to de- tect the possible contribution of different chronologicalperiods to what ap- pearsto be a cumulative,composite picture of around700 B.c.Homeric drink- ing practicesare of particularinterest in relation to the history of drinkingin the Aegean. By analyzing social and ideological attitudes to drinking in the epics in light of the archaeologicalrecord, we gain insight into both the pre- history of the epics and the prehistoryof drinkingitself. THE HOMERIC FEAST There is an impressive amount of what may generally be understood as feasting in the Homeric epics.' Feasting appears as arguably the single most frequent activity in the Odysseyand, apart from fighting, also in the Iliad. It is clearly not only an activity of Homeric heroes, but also one that helps demonstrate that they are indeed heroes. Thus, it seems, they are shown doing it at every opportunity,to the extent that much sense of real- ism is sometimes lost-just as a small child will invariablypicture a king wearing a crown, no matter how unsuitable the circumstances. In Iliad 9, for instance, Odysseus participates in two full-scale feasts in quick suc- cession in the course of a single night: first in Agamemnon's shelter (II. 1. thanks to John Bennet, My 9.89-92), and almost immediately afterward in the shelter of Achilles Peter Haarer,and Andrew Sherrattfor Later in the same on their return from their coming to my rescueon variouspoints (9.199-222).

  • Elizabeth Pierce Blegen (1888-1966 by Elizabeth Langridge-Noti
    Elizabeth Pierce Blegen (1888-1966 by Elizabeth Langridge-Noti American Classical archaeologist Elizabeth Denny Pierce was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania on June 26, 1888 to Flora McKnight and her husband William Lemmex Pierce. Elizabeth attended Vassar College from 1906-1910, where she developed a love for the Classical world and continued through 1912 to receive an M A in Latin. A number of women at Vassar served as role models for her interest in the Classics and encouraged her to pursue this line of study. The most important of these women was to become her lifelong companion, Ida Thallon (Hill) (q.v.), who was credited by Elizabeth with introducing her to Greek archaeology and to many of the classicists and archaeologists who formed part of this community. Another influence at Vassar was Elizabeth Hazelton Haight, a feminist classicist who focused on the Roman world and pushed forward the role of women in the Classics in a number of ways, being the first woman to serve on the board of the American School of Classical Studies at Rome and the first woman chair of the American Philological Association. Other professors and later colleagues who influenced Elizabeth’s intellectual development were Grace Harriet Macurdy (q.v.) and Catherine Saunders, both of the Vassar Classics department. From 1912 to 1915 Elizabeth Pierce did further graduate work at Columbia University, possibly because Ida Thallon had done so, obtaining her Ph.D. in 1922. While there, she taught at her alma mater, Vassar College, from 1915 to 1922 in the field of Art History and also served as assistant curator in the school’s Art Gallery for seven years.

  • Q&A with Susan Heuck Allen
    Classical Spies: American Archaeologists with the OSS in World War II Greece Susan Heuck Allen http://press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=1735600 The University of Michigan Press, 2011 Q&A with Susan Heuck Allen, author of Classical Spies: American Archaeologists with the OSS in World War II Greece Classical Spies is the first insiders' account of the operations of the American intelligence service in World War II Greece. Initiated by archaeologists in Greece and the eastern Mediterranean, the network drew on scholars' personal contacts and knowledge of languages and terrain. While modern readers might think Indiana Jones is just a fantasy character, Classical Spies discloses events where even Indy would feel at home: burying Athenian dig records in an Egyptian tomb, activating prep- school connections to establish spies code-named Vulture and Chickadee, and organizing parachute drops. Susan Heuck Allen reveals remarkable details about a remarkable group of individuals. Often mistaken for mild-mannered professors and scholars, such archaeologists as Princeton's Rodney Young, Cincinnati's Jack Caskey and Carl Blegen, Yale's Jerry Sperling and Dorothy Cox, and Bryn Mawr's Virginia Grace proved their mettle as effective spies in an intriguing game of cat and mouse with their Nazi counterparts. Relying on interviews with individuals sharing their stories for the first time, previously unpublished secret documents, private diaries and letters, and personal photographs, Classical Spies offers an exciting and personal perspective on the history of World War II. An experienced archaeologist and author of many books and articles, including a volume on Frank Calvert's discovery of Troy, Susan Heuck Allen has taught at Yale University and Smith College and is currently Visiting Scholar in the Department of Classics, Brown University.

  • Ida Thallon Hill (1875-1954) by Natalia Vogeikoff
    Ida Thallon Hill (1875-1954) by Natalia Vogeikoff The Early Years A life committed to archaeology, especially the archaeology of Greece, began in Brooklyn, New York. Ida Carleton Thallon was born on August 11, 1875, one of the two daughters of John and Grace Green Thallon. From Packer Collegiate Institute she moved to Vassar College, where she received her A.B. degree in 1897. Two years later she set sail for Europe to attend the program of the American School of Classical Studies in Athens. On this trip, she was accompanied by another Vassar graduate, Lida Shaw King. After three months of touring in Holland, Germany, and Austria, visiting museums and learning German, the two women finally reached Greece. The two years spent in Greece had a tremendous effect on Ida Thallon’s scholarly career. In addition to the stimulating academic program of the American School, she praised the lectures of William Dőrpfeld, a leading German archaeologist of the day1 , Students were expected to attend Dőrpfeld’s lectures on the topography of Athens and participate in his tours of the Peloponnese and the islands. She also benefited from conversations with fellow student Harriet Boyd (q.v. Breaking Ground). The impact of both these figures on Thallon’s subsequent commitment to archaeology should not be underestimated. Rufus Richardson was then the Director of the School and he was very popular with the students because he took much interest in them. Also on the faculty were Professor H. W. Smyth of Bryn Mawr as the Annual Visiting Professor, who was the author of the widely used Greek Grammar, and also Dr.

  • Kate Bracher — Travels in Greece Ever Since the Year 2000, I Have Had to Go to Greece Every Summer for 4- 6 Weeks. (I Can
    Kate Bracher — Travels in Greece Ever since the year 2000, I have had to go to Greece every summer for 4- 6 weeks. (I can hear you saying, “aw, too bad!”) This is because my partner, Cynthia Shelmerdine (Bryn Mawr ’70) is an archaeologist working on a project in the southwest of the Peloponnese. They are digging a Mycenaean town, which dates to the Late Bronze Age (1700-1200 BC), near the town of Pylos. This is way before the time period we tend to think of for ancient Greece — the age of Socrates, Plato, Pericles, Sophocles — and is basically the period Homer thinks he’s writing about 600 years later. The project is directed by a professor from the University of Missouri at St. Louis; he runs it as a field school, so most years there are about 30 students working on the dig. (You can see a slightly out-of- date discussion of it at the project website, iklaina.org.) Cynthia is their pottery expert; so she is not in the field but in the lab room in the small town of Pylos, where we are based. The diggers collect potsherds and other artifacts, and bring them in each day; the pottery gets washed, dried in the sun, and then Cynthia can look at it and identify what the pieces are and when they were made. It’s amazing how much you can tell from a 2-inch broken rim of a drinking cup or bowl! At first I just tagged along (because who would turn down a chance to go to Greece!) But gradually I got roped in also, and worked for years as the lab’s organizer, logging in bags of potsherds as they arrived, shepherding them through the washing, drying and study process, and eventually seeing that they were stored where someone could find them again if they need to.

  • The Legacy of the Drunken Duchess: Grace Harriet Macurdy, Barbara Mcmanus and Classics at Vassar College, 1893–1946
    ISSN: 2632-4091 History of Classical Scholarship 22 December 2019 Issue 1 (2019): 94–127 THE LEGACY OF THE DRUNKEN DUCHESS: GRACE HARRIET MACURDY, BARBARA MCMANUS AND CLASSICS AT VASSAR COLLEGE, 1893–1946 — JUDITH P. HALLETT — ABSTRACT This paper builds on a monumental biography published by the Ohio State Uni- versity Press in 2017: The Drunken Duchess of Vassar: Grace Harriet Macurdy, Pioneering Feminist Scholar, by the late Barbara McManus. Macurdy (1866– 1946), who came from a family without social, economic and educational ad- vantages, joined the Classics faculty at the all-female Vassar College in 1893 after receiving BA and MA degrees from Harvard University’s Radcliffe Annex. Following a year studying in Berlin, she received her PhD from Columbia in 1903, and immediately established herself as an internationally renowned Greek scholar, ultimately publishing two groundbreaking books on ancient women’s history. I will contextualize Macurdy’s life and work by looking at evi- dence beyond the purview of McManus’ book about two of Macurdy’s equally illustrious Classics colleagues, who taught with her at Vassar prior to her retirement in 1937 — Elizabeth Hazelton Haight (1872–1964) and Lily Ross Taylor (1886–1969). KEYWORDS Grace Harriet Macurdy, Barbara McManus, Vassar College, Elizabeth Hazelton Haight, Lily Ross Taylor, women’s history 1. Grace H.
