The Lost Tales Of Miletus (1866) Writer Bernard Bate explores the centamil phenomenon, arguing that the genre's spectacular literacy and use of ceremonial procession, urban political ritual, and posters, praise poetry are critical components in the production of a singularly Tamil mode of political modernity: a Dravidian neoclassicism.

From his perspective, the centamil revolution and Dravidian neoclassicism suggest that modernity is not the mere successor of tradition but the production of tradition, and that this production is a primary modality of modernity, a new newness-albeit a newness of old things. Beginning with the advent of mass democratic politics in the s, a new generation of politician adopted this style, known as "fine," or "beautiful Tamil" centamil , for its distinct literary virtuosity, poesy, and alluring evocation of a pure Tamil past.

  • An Archaic Marble Block with an Artemis Relief Found in the Vicinity of Notion1
    Colloquium Anatolicum 2018 / 17 An Archaic Marble Block with an Artemis Relief Found in the Vicinity of Notion1 Özden ÜRKMEZ2 Keywords: Archaic Sculpture, Artemis, Notion/Claros, Doric Temple, Triglyph-Metope A marble architectural block was discovered in 2011 next to Ales River that passes through the perimeter of the ancient city of Notion localized in Ahmetbeyli Township in Izmir province. The block was a spe- cimen of triglyph-metope from a marble archaic temple built in Doric order. The present study proposes the thesis that, although the block was found at a close distance to Notion, it most probably belonged to a temple in Claros Sacred Site. This temple should be the Archaic Artemis Temple, of which only the foun- dations survive today. The figure that coul d be observed at the front of the block on the metope section as a low relief is the Goddess Artemis. The figure depicting an archer-hunter was dated back to 535-530 bc. If the theory proposed in the present study is accurate, the finding is significant as an evidence of the existence of the marble Artemis Temple built in Doric order during the Archaic Period and as the most visual ruin found remaining from the temple. Anahtar Kelimeler: Arkaik Heykeltraşlık, Artemis, Notion/Klaros, Dorik Tapınak, T riglif- Metop 2011 yılında, İzmir’in Ahmetbeyli İlçesi’nde lokalize edilmiş Notion Kenti’nin yanından geçen Ales Irmağı’nın dibinde mermerden mimari bir blok ortaya çıkmıştır. Blok, dorik düzende inşa edilmiş mermerden Arkaik bir tapınağa ait triglif-methop örneğidir. Bloğun Notion’a çok yakın biz mesafe- de bulunmasına karşın, aslında çok büyük bir olasılıkla Klaros Kutsal Alanı’ndaki bir tapınağa ait olduğu tezi ortaya konulmuştur.

  • The Origins of the Temple Architecture and Cult of Apollo at Didyma The
    The Origins of the Temple Architecture and Cult of Apollo at Didyma The plan of the Temple of Apollo at Didyma is unusual and varies from the traditional Greek temple, but few scholars adequately explain why the temple is different. With a severe lack of historical evidence to help us understand Didyma, other than Pausanias’s quote “the sanctuary of Apollo at Didyma is older than the settlement of the Ionians” (Parke 1985), scholars are forced to make assumptions based on the architecture itself. While some argue for an Egyptian influence as the reason for the strange layout, other scholars suggest that the temple layout is related to the influences of the local cult of Apollo in the Anatolian region (Brown 2004; Parke 1986). In addition to the local cult, architectural traditions of the culture may also have affected the temple plan (Mellink 1985). In this paper, I explore the differences and similarities of the Didymaion to other oracular Apolline temples, such as those at Delphi and Claros, and propose that this occurs primarily due to an Anatolian cultural influence. The Didymaion is known to be one of the largest temples known in antiquity, as well as one of the most unusual. Like other Apolline oracular sites, the temple incorporates a separate area for the oracle, the adyton, but there are few other similarities (Parke 1986). The temple layout is far from regular and manipulates the visitor controlling their behavior and offering “opportunities to affect their experience” (Hollinstead 2015). As they move through the temple, the worshipper would have encountered an unusual god-sized threshold, been forced through claustrophobic side passages to enter the open air cella, and possibly climb a large staircase leading to an upper level of the temple (Tomlinson 1976).

The Local Impact Of The Koinon In Roman Coastal Paphlagonia Abstract This dissertation studies the effects that a “koinon” in the Roman period could have on its constituent communities. The tudys traces the formation process of the koinon in Roman coastal Paphlagonia, called “the Koinon of the Cities in Pontus,” and its ability to affect local customs and norms through an assortment of epigraphic, literary, numismatic and archaeological sources. The er sults of the study include new readings of inscriptions, new proposals on the interpretation of the epigraphic record, and assessments on how they inform and change our opinion regarding the history and the regional significance of the coastal Paphlagonian koinon. This study finds that the Koinon of the Cities in Pontus in coastal Paphlagonia was a dynamic organisation whose membership and activities defined by the eparchic administrative boundary of the Augustan settlement and the juridical definition of the Pontic identity in the eparchic sense. The necessary process that forced the periodic selection of municipal peers to attain koinon leadership status not only created a socially distinct category of “koinon” elite but also elevated the koinon to extraordinary status based on consensus in the eparchia.

By Noah Kaye A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology University of California-Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Emily Mackil Professor Erich Gruen Professor Nikolaos Papazarkadas Professor Andrew Stewart Professor Dylan Sailor Fall 2012 Abstract “The Skeleton of the State:” the Fiscal Politics of Pergamon, 188-133, B.C.E. by Noah Kaye Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology University of California, Berkeley Professor Emily Mackil, Chair In 188 B.C.E., a Roman commission awarded most of Anatolia (Asia Minor) to the Attalid dynasty, a modest fiefdom based in the city of Pergamon. Immediately, the Roman commissioners evacuated along with their force of arms. Enforcement of the settlement, known as the Treaty of Apameia, was left to local beneficiaries, chiefly the Attalids, but also the island republic of Rhodes. The extraction of revenues and the judicious redistribution of resources were both key to the extension of Attalid control over the new territory and the maintenance of the empire. This dissertation is a study of the forms of taxation and public benefaction that characterized the late Attalid kingdom, a multiscalar state comprised of many small communities, most prominent among them, ancient cities on the Greek model of the polis. It argues that the dynasty’s idiosyncratic choices about taxation and euergetism help explain the success of the Attalid imperial project. They aligned interests and created new collectivities.

Wherever I went, I was cheerfully greeted by the people I met. On the road in Turkey I realized the importance of movement in the experience of the landscape. I wish to thank my academic supervisors at the University of Oslo, prof. Rasmus Brandt and ass.prof. Håkon Ingvaldsen, who guided me through my thesis work with the greatest interest and commitment. I also wish to thank prof. Recep Meric of the 9 th of September University and all his students (who are my friends) for introducing me to Turkey and fieldwork in the Mediterranean world in a way that could not have been more interesting. The always kind and helpful Cenker Atilla, my dear colleague Kile, Ali Öz at Metropolis who provided me with maps, my teacher of fieldwork and friend Yasar Yilderim, Emily Schmidt and her professor Christine Thomas (UC Santa Barbara) all ensured that my stays in Turkey have been memorable. I wish to express much gratitude to dr. Natalie Vogeikoff-Brogan of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens who allowed me to do research on Colophon in her archives, Marina Prusac for helpful comments and critique, Sermin Anadol who helped me to translate Turkish articles, David Hill who gave me decisive methodological input and Lene Os Johansen who proof read my thesis.

Copyright GODS’ SECRETARIES: ON PRESERVING ORACLES IN THE ORACULAR GREEK SHRINES DURING HELLENISTIC AND ROMAN TIMES. by Manfred Lesgourgues On a very well-known kylix of the painter of Kodros, from the 5th century BC1, is depicted the epitome of the Greek oracular consultation, or at least of the way Greeks wanted it to be depicted: two characters face each other, Themis acting as the Pythia and the King Aegeus as a consultant, in what would be a direct and oral way of communicating Apollo’s words. This image d’Épinal, emphasizing the very moment of the divine revelation, has nonetheless been during a long time the tree hiding the forest: far from being limited to their acme, oracular rituals were a complex series of actions, both constructing ritually the conditions of a divine communication, and dealing with the communicated messages.
