Nutzungsrechte, Urheberrechte, Bezug der Druckfassung) beim Verlag ([email protected]) oder beim Verfasser ([email protected]). 2 Vorbemerkung: Wenige Jahre nach ihrem Erscheinen ist die Erstauflage des Mythoshandbuchs (MH; 2011) bereits nahezu vergriffen. Zwar wurde das Werk in wichtigen großen Rezensionszeitschriften wie Gnomon, Revue des Études Grecques und Classical Review bisher nicht besprochen und in der neuesten Literatur kaum berücksichtigt (z.B. Szlezák 2012, Neumann 2013). Nach den aktuellen Bibliothekskatalogen ist es im gesamten Ausland weitgehend unbekannt geblieben (mit Ausnahme der großen Elite-Universitäten in den USA). Die Fehlanzeigen für fast alle bekannten Departments of Classics im UK und auch für die Library des Warburg-Institute London überraschen besonders angesichts der Tatsache, dass der erste Impuls für die neue systematische Konzeption des MH auf den englischen Philologen Geoffrey Stephen Kirk zurückgeht (MH 5 Anm. 1). Immerhin zählt das Mythoshandbuch im deutschsprachigen Bereich inzwischen zu den wesentlichen Arbeitsmitteln der mythologischen Forschung; und vielleicht wird sich doch, auf Dauer gesehen, das eindeutige Fazit eines der ersten Rezensenten, des Volkskundlers Willi Höfig, bestätigen: „Ohne dieses Handbuch antike Mythologie zu betreiben, könnte sich in Zukunft als fahrlässig erweisen.“2 Anstelle einer verbesserten Neuauflage werden innerhalb dieser Website zunächst die vom Verfasser zusammen mit Gebhard Kurz (Mainz) erarbeiteten Listen von Korrekturen und kleineren Nachträgen vorgelegt, als deren Grundlage bereits eine leicht revidierte Neufassung des Werkes diente. Weiterhin erscheinen hier als Abrundung die umfangreichen Nachträge (Stand Anfang 2016), die einerseits ergänzende Angaben zu überwiegend neuerer Forschungsliteratur enthalten (z.B. zu Homer, Hesiod, Stesichoros, Pindar, Bakchylides, Apollonios Rhodios, Lykophron, Parthenios, Diodor, Apollodor, Lukian, Quintus Smyrnaeus, Nonnos; Vergil, Ovid, Seneca tragicus, Valerius Flaccus, Statius, Hygin, Claudianus, Dracontius und spätantiken Mythographen). Weitere Nachträge beziehen sich aufgrund aktueller Recherchen des Verfassers neben verschiedensten Einzelthemen auch auf grundsätzliche Fragen (vor allem Polytheismus und Monotheismus; weiterhin z.B. Zusammenhang von Kosmogonie und Gründungsmythen; Problem der ‚gesunkenen Gottheiten‘; Umfang des Schicksalsdenkens im frühgriechischen Mythos; wesentliche Teilaspekte der Troiamythen incl. Ilias/Odyssee; Varianten der späteren Mythenrezeption). Eine effektive Erschließung des aktuellen Überblicks zu übergreifender Ergänzungsliteratur (S. 1-8) und der darauf folgenden Einzelnachträge (S. 8-70) garantiert ergänzend zum Gesamtregister im MH ein kürzeres Teilregister (S. 71-80). Auch für diese Nachträge sind Hinweise auf Fehler, nicht genügend berücksichtigte Teilaspekte oder sachlich nahe liegende Ergänzungen willkommen (Adresse: Dr. Udo Reinhardt, Weyersstraße 4, D-55543 Bad Kreuznach; Tel. 0049-671-28241, e-mail: [email protected]). Für die kritische Durchsicht des Manuskripts gilt mein Dank erneut dem unermüdlichen Kollegen Gebhard Kurz (Mainz). Für die Veröffentlichung der Nachträge in der zeitgleich mit der Erstauflage eingerichteten Website bin ich dem Rombach-Verlag (spez. Christine Weis) verpflichtet. Da die vorgelegten sachlichen Nachträge in vielen Fällen neue Forschungsergebnisse enthalten, sind aus urheberrechtlichen Gründen in Zukunft verwendete oder übernommene Inhalte auch eindeutig als solche zu kennzeichnen (etwa mit Hinweis ‚Reinhardt, MH Nachträge 2016‘ und Seitenangabe). 2 Ausführliche Rezension in IFB 12-4, ifb.bsz-bw.de/bsz340069767rez-1.pdf. – Übersicht mit Auszügen aus den bisher vorliegenden Rezensionen zu MH unter www.mythoshandbuch.wordpress.com. 3 1.

Dissertation Advisor: Author: Professor George G. Grabowicz Giovanna Siedina The Reception of Horace in the Courses of Poetics at the Kyiv Mohyla Academy: 17th-First Half of the 18th Century Abstract For the first time, the reception of the poetic legacy of the Latin poet Horace (65 B.C.-8 B.C.) in the poetics courses taught at the Kyiv Mohyla Academy (17th-first half of the 18th century) has become the subject of a wide-ranging research project presented in this dissertation. Quotations from Horace and references to his oeuvre have been divided according to the function they perform in the poetics manuals, the aim of which was to teach pupils how to compose Latin poetry. Three main aspects have been identified: the first consists of theoretical recommendations useful to the would-be poets, which are taken mainly from Horace’s Ars poetica.

  • The Wallace Collection — Rubens Reuniting the Great Landscapes
    XT H E W ALLACE COLLECTION RUBENS: REUNITING THE GREAT LANDSCAPES • Rubens’s two great landscape paintings reunited for the first time in 200 years • First chance to see the National Gallery painting after extensive conservation work • Major collaboration between the National Gallery and the Wallace Collection 3 June - 15 August 2021 #ReunitingRubens In partnership with VISITFLANDERS This year, the Wallace Collection will reunite two great masterpieces of Rubens’s late landscape painting: A View of Het Steen in the Early Morning and The Rainbow Landscape. Thanks to an exceptional loan from the National Gallery, this is the first time in two hundred years that these works, long considered to be companion pieces, will be seen together. This m ajor collaboration between the Wallace Collection and the National Gallery was initiated with the Wallace Collection’s inaugural loan in 2019 of Titian’s Perseus and Andromeda, enabling the National Gallery to complete Titian’s Poesie cycle for the first time in 400 years for their exhibition Titian: Love, Desire, Death. The National Gallery is now making an equally unprecedented reciprocal loan to the Wallace Collection, lending this work for the first time, which will reunite Rubens’s famous and very rare companion pair of landscape paintings for the first time in 200 years. This exhibition is also the first opportunity for audiences to see the National Gallery painting newly cleaned and conserved, as throughout 2020 it has been the focus of a major conservation project specifically in preparation for this reunion. The pendant pair can be admired in new historically appropriate, matching frames, also created especially for this exhibition.

  • Pythios and Pythion: the Spread of a Cult Title J.K
    Mediterranean Historical Review Vol. 22, No. 1, June 2007, pp. 57–69 Pythios and Pythion: The Spread of a Cult Title J.K. Davies The epithet Pythios/Pythion, unequivocally denoting the cult of Apollo of Delphi, came to have a very widespread distribution throughout the Greek world, comparable only to that of Zeus Olympios. Pre-Hellenistic attestations are summarily reported, showing concentrations (e.g., Attika, Argolis, Thessaly, Aegean islands, Krete), significant vacua (e.g., Boiotia, north-western Greece), and overlaps with the epithets Delphinios and Pythaieus. Likely periods and mechanisms of its spread are sketched, as are possible explanations (colonization, oracles, purification), though without overt preference for any one model of network-formation. Keywords: Apollo; Cult; Oracle; Purification; Distribution It is a cliche´ of scholarship that the terms Pythios and Pythion derive from Pytho, the earliest attested name for the cultic area later known as Delphoi,1 and that they came to refer unequivocally to Apollo as the principal god of the upper sanctuary there. They therefore belong among the ‘locational’ epithets of the god, parallel to Klarios or Didymeus, not among those derived from function or from association or identification with animals.2 As such, they pose a problem, for it was unusual for locational epithets to spread far beyond their primary sanctuary, still less to show such widespread attestation throughout much of the Greek-speaking world: Zeus Olympios provides perhaps the only true comparison, with even Eleusinian Demeter well behind. Their distribution therefore needs an explanation, and one which is couched not just in terms of geography or of the ‘profile’ of the god but also, and primarily, in terms of human needs and of the ways in which a specific cult could be transferred, or replicated/cloned, elsewhere.

  • Neoanalisi E Intertestualità Dell'inno Omerico Ad Apollo: Modelli
    Graeco-Latina Brunensia 22 / 2017 / 2 DOI: 10.5817/GLB2017-2-5 Neoanalisi e intertestualità dell’Inno omerico ad Apollo: modelli, immagini, stemma Eleonora Colangelo (Paris Diderot University, Centre ANHIMA, University of Pisa) Neoanalysis and Intertextuality in the Homeric Hymn to Apollo: Models, Motifs, and Stemma ČLÁNKY / ARTICLES Abstract The aim of this paper is to illustrate a first neoanalytical frame of the Homeric Hymn to Apollo (HHA) intertextuality in function of a new critical edition with commentary. After Currie 2011’s reflections about neoanalysis for the archaic hymns to Demeter, and the hermeneutical mod- els of Olson 2012 and Vergados 2013 for the Homeric Hymns to Aphrodite and Hermes, I will show and discuss a provisional stemma of the genetic relationships between the HHA and a limited sample of honorific-dedicatory, cathartic-programmatic, and performative-hymnodic texts. The whole scheme of relationships has been established with regard to the productiv- ity and recurrence of seven re-semantizated topoi. The stemma will enable us to define the domain of HHA prehistory, survivals and reminiscences in literary and paraliterary production before and after the terminus ante quem of 478 BC. Keywords intertextuality; neoanalysis; Homeric hymn to Apollo; intertextual stemma; papyri; Delphic hymns 77 Eleonora Colangelo Neoanalisi e intertestualità dell’Inno omerico ad Apollo: modelli, immagini, stemma Gli Inni omerici e i transferred motifs della neoanalisi: un’introduzione La nozione di literary history ha conosciuto un’applicazione alquanto controversa all’am- bito della poesia esametrica arcaica.

In stark contrast to his learned father Marcus Aurelius (121–80 A.D.), known as “the perfect Emperor,” Commodus, who reigned from 180 until he was murdered on New Year’s Eve of 192 at the age of 31, proudly distinguished himself by his great physical strength.[1] Toward the end of his life, Commodus went further than any of his megalomaniac predecessors, including Nero, and identified himself with Hercules, the superhumanly strong demigod of Greek mythology famous for slaughtering wild animals and monsters with his bare hands. According to the contemporary historian Herodian of Antioch (ca.

No. _Zv_^ _ii ALL RIGHTS RESERVED INTRODUCTION Our grandfathers regarded the study of mythology as a necessary adjunct to a polite education, without a knowledge of which neither the classical nor the more modem poets could be read with understanding. But it is now recognised that upon mythology and folklore rests the basis of the new science of Comparative Religion. The evolution of religion from mythology has now been made plain. It is a law of evolution that, though the parent types which precede certain forms are doomed to perish, they yet bequeath to their descendants certain of their characteristics ; and although mythology has perished (in the civilised world, at least), it has left an indelible stamp not only upon modem religions, but also upon local and national custom. The work of Fruger, Lang, Immerwahr, and others has revolutionised mythology, and has evolved from the unexplained mass of tales of forty years ago a definite and systematic science.

  • Engraved Gems
    & Baan (eds) & Baan Bercken den Van ENGRAVED GEMS Many are no larger than a fingertip. They are engraved with symbols, magic spells and images of gods, animals and emperors. These stones were used for various purposes. The earliest ones served as seals for making impressions in soft materials. Later engraved gems were worn or carried as personal ornaments – usually rings, but sometimes talismans or amulets. The exquisite engraved designs were thought to imbue the gems with special powers. For example, the gods and rituals depicted on cylinder seals from Mesopotamia were thought to protect property and to lend force to agreements marked with the seals. This edited volume discusses some of the finest and most exceptional GEMS ENGRAVED precious and semi-precious stones from the collection of the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities – more than 5.800 engraved gems from the ancient Near East, Egypt, the classical world, renaissance and 17th- 20th centuries – and other special collections throughout Europe. Meet the people behind engraved gems: gem engravers, the people that used the gems, the people that re-used them and above all the gem collectors. This is the first major publication on engraved gems in the collection of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden since 1978.
