The Figure of Cupid in Augustan Literature and Art VENUS’ OTHER SON: THE FIGURE OF CUPID IN AUGUSTAN LITERATURE AND ART Andrew C. Ficklin A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classics. Chapel Hill 2021 Approved by: James O’Hara Sharon James Hérica Valladares Patricia Rosenmeyer Eric Downing © 2021 Andrew C. Ficklin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Andrew C. Ficklin: Venus’ Other Son: The Figure of Cupid in Augustan Literature and Art (Under the direction of James O’Hara) This study examines the figure of Amor in the Augustan period with an emphasis on poetic responses to imperial visual rhetoric. Through close textual and intertextual analysis, I argue that the Amor of Vergil, Propertius, Tibullus, and Ovid carries different associations across the poets’ corpora and that these changes reflect contemporary cultural preoccupations. In particular, the Augustan poets engage with Amor’s appropriation into Augustan political imagery, as is reflected in extant monumental art. I here consider the statues of the so-called Algiers relief, the reliefs on the “Augustus” cup from Boscoreale, the so-called Sorrento base, the statue of Augustus from Primaporta, and the Gemma Tiberiana. Amidst rising imagery of the Pax Augusta and Aurea Aetas through the 20s BCE—and despite the ubiquity of Amor’s more troublesome aspects in art and literature of the previous decades—the god of love comes to represent peace and abundance in political contexts. As a child of Venus and “distant relative” to Augustus himself, Amor also becomes a symbol of the princeps’ divine lineage and favor. The boy-god is then integrated into the imperial household itself and, as an extension of these same associations, mapped onto Augustus’ heirs. As an immortal embodiment of Rome’s future generations, and those of the Julii in particular, Amor marks the legitimacy and stability of Rome’s newly dynastic ruling family. Nonetheless, interpretation of this figure remains a matter of debate. While the artists of iii Augustan public monuments mold Amor to suit developing political imagery, Augustan poets problematize narrow readings by capitalizing on the manifold inconsistencies (often intentionally misreading the images themselves). The interaction is generally ambiguous or light-hearted enough to avoid becoming outright criticism, but nonetheless creates an air of resistance that contributes to this Amor’s development. As a result, the figure of Amor becomes a means through which artist and poet alike can engage in contemporary discourse on love, war, peace, and the princeps’ role in each. iv To my wife and family, I am forever grateful for your love and unwavering support. v TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

with undisputed power in the Mediterranean, but cultural perception of this power remained a staunch—and fickle—adversary for the emerging princeps. Over the subsequent decade, the soon-to-be Augustus leveraged all manner of established social, political, religious, and cultural systems in an effort to legitimize his position. Such complicated image-crafting, however, is hardly unidirectional. As Paul Zanker demonstrated in his foundational work, The Power of Images in the Age of Augustus, the success of the princeps’ reign depended on a complex interplay between self-conscious projections of imperial authority and manifold contributions by individual statesmen, religious authorities, artists, architects, authors, and their various audiences. Collectively, as it were, Rome produced a myth of rebirth for itself with the figure of Augustus conspicuously placed at its center.1 Nonetheless, the relationship between these many voices has remained a topic of interest over the past thirty years of scholarship.2 Most recently, Nandini Pandey’s The Poetics of Power in Augustan Rome reemphasized the give and take inherent in such a process, examining the Augustan poets as readers of political imagery and their poetry as a means of asserting individual 1 Vergil’s “Shield of Aeneas” (Aen. 8.617-731) remains the clearest example of Augustus’ centrality within Rome’s new narrative. 2 E.g., Hardie 1992; Barchiesi 1997; Welch 2005; Miller 2009; Pandey 2018.

  • Philosophy and the Foreigner in Plato's Dialogues
    Philosophy and the Foreigner in Plato’s Dialogues By Rebecca LeMoine A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON 2014 Date of final oral examination: 06/20/2014 The dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: Richard Avramenko, Associate Professor, Political Science Alex Dressler, Assistant Professor, Classics Daniel Kapust, Associate Professor, Political Science Helen Kinsella, Associate Professor, Political Science John Zumbrunnen, Professor, Political Science i ABSTRACT The place of foreigners in Plato’s thought remains understudied despite the prevalence of foreign characters, myths, and practices throughout his dialogues. Attending to this gap in the scholarly literature, this dissertation challenges conventional depictions of Plato as hostile to diversity by showing that Plato makes a compelling case for why we should engage with foreigners: the epistemological benefits of cross-cultural engagement. Through exegetical readings of the Republic, Laws, Phaedrus, and Menexenus, I argue that Plato finds cross-cultural dialogue epistemologically beneficial owing to its ability to provoke us to philosophize together, an activity at once conducive to the quest for wisdom and generative of friendship. Put simply, conversations with foreigners perform the same role as the Socratic gadfly of stinging us into consciousness. This finding has major implications for the field of political theory and, specifically, for the role of the new subfield commonly referred to as comparative political theory. By demonstrating the centrality of cross-cultural dialogue to Plato’s conception of political theory, this dissertation suggests that comparative political theory is not a deviation from the tradition of Western political theory, but a restoration of it.

  • Lecture Roman Power and Herodian Rule I. Roman Power A
    Session 11 - Lecture Roman Power and Herodian Rule I. Roman Power A. Introduction The accounts of the rise of Rome have come down overlaid with such a mass of myth and legend that few can be verified. Roman historians of later times, lacking authentic records, relied on fabrications of a patriotic nature. Following this period, when a republic was established, Rome became a world power and emerged as an empire with extensive boundaries. B. The Rise of Rome (753-509 BC) 1. Rome was said to have been founded by Latin colonists from Alba Longa, a nearby city in ancient Latium. The legendary date of the founding was 753 BC and it was ascribed to Romulus and Remus, the twin sons of Rhea Silvia, a vestal virgin and the daughter of Numitor, king of Alba Longa. Romulus and Remus 2. Later legend carried the ancestry of the Romans back to the Trojans and their leader Aeneas, whose son Ascanius, or Iulus, was the founder and the first king of Alba Longa. Three tribes, the Ramnes, Tities, and Luceres, that appear in the legend of Romulus as the parts of the new commonwealth suggest that Rome arose from the amalgamation of three stocks, thought to be Latin, Sabine, and Etruscan. Click map to see a larger image Rome originally developed as a strongly patriarchal society based upon families and clans, with the head of each of the families forming an advisory council to the kings known as the Senate. 3. The seven kings of the regal period and the dates traditionally assigned to their reigns are as follows: a.

  • The Mythology of the Ara Pacis Augustae: Iconography and Symbolism of the Western Side
    Acta Ant. Hung. 55, 2015, 17–43 DOI: 10.1556/068.2015.55.1–4.2 DAN-TUDOR IONESCU THE MYTHOLOGY OF THE ARA PACIS AUGUSTAE: ICONOGRAPHY AND SYMBOLISM OF THE WESTERN SIDE Summary: The guiding idea of my article is to see the mythical and political ideology conveyed by the western side of the Ara Pacis Augustae in a (hopefully) new light. The Augustan ideology of power is in the modest opinion of the author intimately intertwined with the myths and legends concerning the Pri- mordia Romae. Augustus strove very hard to be seen by his contemporaries as the Novus Romulus and as the providential leader (fatalis dux, an expression loved by Augustan poetry) under the protection of the traditional Roman gods and especially of Apollo, the Greek god who has been early on adopted (and adapted) by Roman mythology and religion. Key words: Apollo, Ara, Augustus, Pax Augusta, Roma Aeterna, Saeculum Augustum, Victoria The aim of my communication is to describe and interpret the human figures that ap- pear on the external western upper frieze (e.g., on the two sides of the staircase) of the Ara Pacis Augustae, especially from a mythological and ideological (i.e., defined in the terms of Augustan political ideology) point of view. I have deliberately chosen to omit from my presentation the procession or gathering of human figures on both the Northern and on the Southern upper frieze of the outer wall of the Ara Pacis, since their relationship with the iconography of the Western and of the Eastern outer-upper friezes of this famous monument is indirect, although essential, at least in my humble opinion.

  • Notes for the Teacher: Chapter 3 De Romanis Has Been Designed for a Selective Approach
    Notes for the teacher: Chapter 3 de Romanis has been designed for a selective approach. Students need to learn the new vocabulary and grammar from each chapter’s Core Language section, but teachers should select a suitable combination of introductory and practice material to suit the time available and the needs of their students. INTRODUCTORY MATERIAL The notes which follow aim to highlight areas of interest within the theme for each chapter; teachers are encouraged to be selective in accordance with the age and interest of their classes. Overview Chapter 3 introduces gods who were particularly important to the Romans, and highlights the specifically Roman beliefs about some of the main Olympian gods. Roman worship of Jupiter, Venus and Mars is explained, including the role of their temples in important public events and spaces. The household gods, Vesta, Lares and Penates, are introduced next, followed by Janus and then personified deities such as Fortuna. The concept of deification, and specifically the deification of Romulus (Quirinus) and Julius Caesar, follows. Finally, Sulis Minerva and Minerva Belisama are given as examples of the Roman readiness to combine their religion with those of conquered territories. How to begin For all chapters, it is beneficial to read and discuss the introduction in overview before beginning the Core Language material: students will find the Latin sentences and stories more interesting (and more accessible) if they are already familiar with the context behind them. The PowerPoint slides available online might be helpful for teachers keen to offer a compressed introduction; in addition the worksheets (also available online) will direct students’ attention to the most important details in the introduction.

    SECTION III GREEK AND ROMAN GODDESSES OF PEACE CONTENTS INTRODUCTION GREEK GODDESSES OF PEACE AND HARMONY: EIRENE AND HARMONIA ROMAN GODDESSES OF PEACE AND CONCORDANCE: PAX AND CONCORDIA CLOSING COMMENTS ***** INTRODUCTION Lady Peace has many faces. Pinning down her attributes is no simple enterprise. The simplistic rendition is that Peace is the absence of War. But this definition does not outline how to end on-going war or how to prevent the start of war. The International Community set up peace-based global institutions, the League of Nations and United Nations, to prevent future war. Although both proved irresolute to prevent all wars, they were able to moderate some looming conflicts through the practices of peace-keeping and judicial mediation. There is a growing consensus among spirituality-oriented peace practitioners that the peace institutions that humanity needs will not be developed until humans establish a global system in which all peoples accept or submit to global authority. Until then nations are left to find their way through grievances and possible annihilation given the massive destruction of some of the existing weapon systems. What marks the Homo sapiens species special is its level of consciousness and its analytic thinking. But they are still insufficiently developed to coral the surge toward war (As this paragraph is being written war has broken out in Ethiopia’s Northern border.) Fortunately, humanity carries an archetypal template that points to how to address life issues such as peace. Dreams and mythology are places where the archetypal template projects itself. What follows is a brief review of Greek and Roman Peace Goddesses and their main companions.

    W. GEOFFREY ARNOTT FURTHER NOTES ON MENANDER’S SIKYONIOI (VV. 110–322) aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 117 (1997) 21–34 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 21 FURTHER NOTES ON MENANDER’S SIKYONIOI (VV. 110–322) These notes, like the earlier set published in ZPE 116 (1997) 1–10, are by-products of work devoted to Menander’s Sikyonioi during the preparation of a third volume for the new Loeb edition of Menander. In all passages of this play the line-numberings are those adopted by R. Kassel in his edition of the play (Kleine Texte 185, Berlin 1965) and followed by F. H. Sandbach in his Oxford text of Menander (1st edition 1972, 2nd 1990; cf. his and A. W. Gomme’s Menander: A Commentary, Oxford 1973, hereafter referred to as the Gomme–Sandbach commentary), and by A. M. Belardinelli in her edition of the play (Bari 1994). It will be useful for readers to have by them the photographs of the papyrus (hereafter S = P. Sorbonne 72, 2272, 2273), which provide a most valuable accompaniment to A. Blanchard and A. Bataille’s editio princeps of the new fragments of the play (Recherches de Papyrologie 3, 1965, 103– 176, plates VI–XII). Throughout these notes K–A is the abbreviation used for Kassel–Austin with refer- ence to the published volumes of Poetae Comici Graeci. 110–114 Despite mutilation in S of the left-hand edge of this column (which removes on average the first ten to twelve letters of each line and all traces of paragraphi), the drift of the dialogue in places can still be guessed, though uncertainties remain over the correct assignment of remarks to the two speakers.

  • Theopompus' Homer
    Haverford College Haverford Scholarship Faculty Publications Classics 2020 Theopompus’ Homer: Paraepic in Old and Middle Comedy Matthew C. Farmer Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.haverford.edu/classics_facpubs THEOPOMPUS’ HOMER: PARAEPIC IN OLD AND MIDDLE COMEDY MATTHEW C. FARMER T IS A STRIKING FACT that, out of the twenty titles preserved for the late fifth- and early fourth-century comic poet Theopompus, three directly reference I Homer’s Odyssey: Odysseus, Penelope, and Sirens. In one fragment (F 34) preserved without title but probably belonging to one of these plays, Odysseus himself is the speaking character; he quotes the text of the Odyssey, approv- ingly.1 Another fragment (F 31), evidently drawn from a comedy with a more contemporary focus, mocks a politician in a run of Homeric hexameters. Theo- pompus was, it seems, a comic poet with a strong interest in paraepic comedy, that is, in comedy that generates its humor by parodying, quoting, or referring to Homeric epic poetry. In composing paraepic comedy, Theopompus was operating within a long tra- dition. Among the earliest known Homeric parodies, Hipponax provides our first certain example, a fragment in which the poet invokes the muse and deploys Homeric language to mock a glutton (F 128). The Margites, a poem composed in a mixture of hexameters and trimeters recounting the story of a certain fool in marked Homeric language, may have been composed as early as the seventh cen- tury BCE, but was certainly known in Athens by the fifth or fourth.2 In the late
