  • The Date of the First Pythiad-Again Alden A
    MOSSHAMMER, ALDEN A., The Date of the First Pythiad - Again , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 23:1 (1982:Spring) p.15 The Date of the First Pythiad-Again Alden A. Mosshammer OST HISTORIANS have long agreed that the first in the regular M series of Pythian festivals celebrated every four years at Del­ phi took place in 58211. Now H. C. Bennett and more re­ cently S. G. Miller have argued that we should instead follow Pausa­ nias in dating the first Pythiad to 586/5, because the Pindaric scho­ liasts, they maintain, reckon Pythiads from that year. 1 The debate is an old one, but it has important implications for our understanding of the sequence of events at the time of the First Sacred War. Bennett and Miller have rightly criticized the excessive claims that have been made for some of the evidence; and Miller, in particular, has offered some important new insights into the problem. The argument in favor of 58211 nevertheless remains the stronger case. It needs to be presented once again, both to take these new objections into account and to elucidate the tradition that has given rise to the debate. I. The Problem According to the Parian Marble, our earliest evidence (264/3), the Amphictyons celebrated a victory against Cirrha by dedicating a por­ tion of the spoils as prizes for a chrematitic festival celebrated in 59110, and again the games became stephani tic in 582/1. 2 Pausanias 1 H.

  • INSCRIPTIONS from ATTICA 27 Inscriptions
    INSCRIPTIONSFROM ATTICA (PLATE 15: b, c, d) JTN THE course of the years 1947, 1948, and 1949 the undersignedhave made a series of excursions in Attica, as time and their other duties permitted, for the purpose of making squeezes of inscriptions in the outlying areaS-for the collection at the Institute for Advanced Study. Among the many inscriptions already known, a few new pieces turned up which we publish below. We add also a few comments on some previously published texts. 1. Dedication to Pythian Apollo (Plate 15, b) Church of the Panagia, Merenda, southeast of Markopoulo, site of the ancient deme of Myrrhinous. Found in June 1948 lying in front of the church where it had probably been at least since 1929 to judge by the graffito on the face. Probably dis- covered somewhere in the immediate neighborhood. Brought to the Epigraphical Museum, Athens, March 1949; now E.M. 13,120. The stone is a rectangular pillar of Hymettian marble which tapers slightly towards the top. It is broken below and it has been re-worked above at the back to a rough curving surface as if someone had started to make it into a capital for the window column of a church. The sides are dressed with a toothed chisel at the edges and are smooth picked at the center. The back is rough picked. The letters run vertically from top to bottom. The inscription is complete at the right (lower) end, and only a little is missing at the left (top) as the meter shows. The inscribed face is marred by a modern graffito consisting of the name Stelios Katroulis, the date 1929, a cross and a steamboat.

Department of CLASSICS The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date AUtt-UST 5r 1Q87 ii ABSTRACT This thesis will trace the origin and development of the term "Sacred War" in the corpus of extant Greek literature. This term has been commonly applied by modern scholars to four wars which took place in ancient Greece between- the sixth and fourth centuries B. C. The modern use of "the attribute "Sacred War" to refer to these four wars in particular raises two questions. First, did the ancient historians give all four of these wars the title "Sacred War?" And second, what justified the use of this title only for certain conflicts? In order to resolve the first of these questions, it is necessary to examine in what terms the ancient historians referred to these wars.

Arauak ez zuen sarrerarik izan, baina oin-ohar bat zuen irizpideei jatorria zein zen jakinazteko. Hona hemen: (*) Zerrenda hauek osatzeko erabili diren irizpideak, 76. Araua, hots, “Latin eta greziar pertsona- izen klasikoak euskaraz emateko irizpideei buruzko erabakia” gauzatzeko erabilitakoak dira. 2- Arau osatua, eguneratua eta emendatua Hamazazpi urte igaro dira arauaren lehen bertsio hura plazaratu zenetik, eta, latin eta greziar pertsona-izen klasikoen arauan bezala, gaur egun euskara batuan argitaratzen diren lanetan (eskola-liburuak, entziklopediak, hiztegiak, literatura, komunikabideak…), guztiz hedatuta dago arauan emandako eredua. Bigarren bertsio honetan, osatu egin da orduko zerrenda hura, eta hartan agertzen ez diren zenbait izen erantsi. Arauaren lehen bertsioak 249 izen bildu zituen. Orain, 83 izen gehiago erantsi dira, eta Fenizia eta Kartagoko hiru jainko-jainkosa nagusi ere sartu dira (zerrendan Latina /Grekoa zutabea hutsik duten izenak dira). Beraz, 335 mitonimoz osatutako izendegi bat du arauaren bigarren bertsioak. Gainera, 1998ko zerrendan, gaztelaniazko eta frantsesezko ordainak bai baina ingelesezko ordainak ez ziren eman; orain, erantsi egin dira ingelesezko ordainak, kanpoko leku- eta pertsona-izenen gainerako arauetan egin ohi den bezala. Zerrendara bildu diren izaki mitologiko horietako batzuk multzo-izenak dira, eta pluralean erabili ohi dira. Haietako bakoitzak zenbait mitonimo biltzen ditu; gehienetan, mugatuak dira (Pleiadeak zazpi ziren; Eniriak, hiru; Furiak eta Graziak ere hiru ziren …), eta letra larriz hasita idatzi ohi dira; badira beste horrelako multzo-izen batzuk, zenbait izaki mitologikoren kopuru mugagabea edo oso handia dutenak, hala nola ninfak, sirenak, nereidak, larak, manak, ozeanideak, naiadeak…; halakoak erabat letra xehez idatzi ohi dira, eta lexiko arrunteko hiztegietan agertu ohi dira.

Epigtoaphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 1996 (EBGR 1996) The ninth issue of the BEGR contains only part of the epigraphie harvest of 1996; unforeseen circumstances have prevented me and my collaborators from covering all the publications of 1996, but we hope to close the gaps next year. We have also made several additions to previous issues. In the past years the BEGR had often summarized publications which were not primarily of epigraphie nature, thus tending to expand into an unavoidably incomplete bibliography of Greek religion. From this issue on we return to the original scope of this bulletin, whieh is to provide information on new epigraphie finds, new interpretations of inscriptions, epigraphieal corpora, and studies based p;imarily on the epigraphie material. Only if we focus on these types of books and articles, will we be able to present the newpublications without delays and, hopefully, without too many omissions.

  • Cult and Crisis: a GIS Approach to the Sacred Landscape of Hellenistic Attica
    Open Archaeology 2019; 5: 383–395 Original Study Constanze Graml*, Manuel Hunziker, Katharina Vukadin Cult and Crisis: A GIS Approach to the Sacred Landscape of Hellenistic Attica https://doi.org/10.1515/opar-2019-0024 Received February 12, 2019; accepted June 18, 2019 Abstract: From a political point of view, 3rd century BCE Athens represents a shattered unity. Parts of the Athenian countryside and even the city itself were occupied by foreign troops. This loss of control affected the city’s political, economic, social, cultural, and religious life. Since Cleisthenic times, relations between political units and religious communities had become institutionalised through specific cults. Other cult places of relevance to the larger community and therefore with a catchment area that exceeded a deme, e.g. Eleusis, were also affected, as they lay within the occupied territories. This partial inaccessibility of the countryside risked the disruption of religious duties. The project “Cult and Crisis: The Sacred Landscape of Attica and its Correlation to Political Topography” aims to identify potentially affected cult places with no limitations regarding their possible catchment area by analysing their placement in relation to foreign military bases. Alterations in cult practice can plausibly be detected in changes ranging from cessation to the rerouting of ritual movement or the establishment of substitute cult places. As these “solutions” rarely feature in written sources, our GIS-based approach will focus on material remains from sanctuaries. Although an object’s use for ritual practice cannot be deduced with certainty, the distribution of finds certainly attests to human activity. This contribution presents a trial of this approach, taking the Sounion area as its case study.

My wants are small and what I win is often less, but that small gain is yet sufficient to content me; for my experience combines with length of life and thirdly with nobility, teaching patience to a man. If, though, my child, you see some resting place beside the common way or by some precinct of the gods, 10 then place me there and set me down, that we may learn our whereabouts; our state is such we must ask that of the natives here and what our next step is. Antigone Long suffering, father Oedipus, as best as my eyes can judge, the walls that gird the town are far away. It is plain to see this place is holy ground, luxuriant with laurel, olives trees and vines, while throngs of sweet voiced nightingales give tongue within. So rest your limbs here upon this piece of unhewn stone; your journey has been long for a man as old as you.
