Conclusion ……………………………………………………………….. 231 Bibliography …………………………………………………………………………. 245 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First I would like to thank the professors who sat on my dissertation committee. Thank you Professors Paul Ranieri (Rhetoric and Writing), Robert Habich (American Literature), Christine Shea (Classical Studies), and Richard King (Classical Studies). Robert Habich advised the approach and structure of my research, while providing expert feedback and expert advice for revisions. Christine Shea and Richard King advised on the sociocultural aspects of ancient Greece, Greek mythology, and various philological corrections and recommendations on translations of ancient Greek. I thank each one of you for your encouragement to complete this project. For my cross-disciplinary study of ancient Greek kairos, I feel fortunate for the cross- disciplinary make-up of my committee. The perspectives provided by each member has contributed to the content of my dissertation in ways that have helped to shape not only the content but also the structure. You are part of the intellectual DNA to whom I dedicate this study. Under a different committee, I believe this would have been a different project. I want to express that I am deeply grateful to my dissertation advisor Paul Ranieri in whose seminar on Classical Rhetoric this the topic of kairos was first introduced to me, and whose insight and encouragement have been crucial to the realization of this project. Professor Ranieri guided me in such a way that the project feels like “mine” exclusively. Under his guidance my interest in the subject of kairos has only grown, as he has been an excellent mediator between me and the scholarship. Thank you, Professor Ranieri for being an exemplar educator and mentor. I am grateful to have had the scholar carrel in Bracken Library and access to the research resources of the University Libraries. I am especially appreciative of all the kind and friendly circulation desk personnel who have greeted me (almost daily) for over two years with smiles, laughter, and personal exchanges. Also, I want to extend many, many thanks to the personnel in 4 the Interlibrary Loan division who processed my multitude of requests—I could not have written this dissertation without the resources I was able to get through ILL. Additionally, I would like to thank Lisa Jarrell, Head Librarian of Educational Technology and Resources at Bracken Library, for hiring me as her graduate assistant for the last year and a half. Lisa has been a very supportive and encouraging supervisor, and she has continually provided me with tasks that were interesting, thought-provoking, and informative. I have especially enjoyed learning about the educational objectives connected to the realia portion of the collection. Learning through objects has always been of major interest to me; in fact this interest has guided my personal academic journey (see the following dissertation…), as well as my teaching philosophy. This graduate assistant position was an excellent fit for me and my skill set, and I will miss working with Lisa, her staff, and the collection of realia. I wish to thank my family and friends for their loving and relentless support and interest. Writing this dissertation has been a very isolating experience, and without the encouragement and kindness of my friends and family, it simply would not have happened. I could never have estimated or predicted the amount of continual and untiring support each one of you has given me. Each friend and family member has inspired me with their own spirit for life, knowledge, accomplishments, and values. Listed in order from the friends and family I have known the longest, thank you Aunt Cindy and Uncle Dan Sublette, Tanya Hendricks Cobb, Lana Frey, Rosy Vitalis, Anka Terry, Brenda Yates-Habich, Misty Barton, Serena Nancarrow, Cheryl Simpkins, Professor Rena Dossett, Kate Bolinger, Amy Trendler, Rachael Wagoner, Lori Barker, Lisa Jarrell, Matthew Shaw, Byron Ballard, and Jill Meinerding. Thank you to those of you in this list who were able to attend my defense. 5 Finally, the very important source of support and inspiration that has come from my parents—the biological DNA to whom I dedicate this project. My father, Pantelis Kardasilaris, has given me Greece, not only in the Greek blood that runs through my veins, but also in exposure to the unique inextinguishable character and spirit of the Greek landscapes, seascapes, language, history, and people. My mother, Judith Cardassilaris, with whom I visited the Athenian Acropolis with at the age of five, instilled in me an independence of mind and the introduction to art. And since the birth of my son, Nicholas Cardassilaris Bolinger in 2007, she has unselfishly given her time in helping me care for him. He is the most special and precious source of inspiration in all aspects of my life, and to whom I most especially dedicate this work. 6 LIST OF FIGURES FIGURES 1.1 Unidentified maker, Fragment of Kairos, fourth/third century BCE, Trogir (Trau), Croatia, Monastery of St. Nicholas. 1.2 “Table 3.1, Kairos in the Rhetorical Situation,” in The Wadsworth Guide to Research. 1.3 Contemporary Greek ΚΑΙΡΟΣ related to weather in Greece. 1.4 Contemporary Greek ΚΑΙΡΟΣ related to weather in Greece, “δειτε τον καιρο.” 1.5 Contemporary Greek ΚΑΙΡΟΣ related to weather in Greece, “Ο καιρός τρελάθηκε!” 1.6 Orpheus Painter, Orpheus plays the lyre and sings among Thracian warriors with spears, Attic red-figure column krater, ca. 440, clay, Staatlich Museen zu Berlin. 1.7 Panofsky’s Synoptic Table for Iconographical-Iconological Methodology. 1.8 Unidentified Maker, Father Time, illustration from a Bowery Saving Bank Advertisement. 1.9 Unidentified maker, Kairos, ca. 350-330 BCE, marble, Turin, Italy, Museum of Antiquities. 2.1 Polykleitos, Doryphoros (Spear Bearer), Roman marble copy from Pompeii, Italy, after a bronze original of ca. 450–440 BCE, Museo Nazionale, Naples. 2.2 Lysippos, Apoxyomenos (Scraper).

It was shown that the Villa of the Mysteries is a school of priestesses-seismologists. It is established that the frescoes depict the process of priestesses introducing in the Hera seismoacoustic cult (Zeus-Hera-Dionysus cult). It is shown that in the Hera cult the wand strike on the back of the graduate priest student symbolizes the fact of the introduction of the priestesses to the priesthood. The comparison between Pythagoras School in Crotone, Southern Italy (Temple of the Muse) and Cumaean Sibyl seismoacoustic at margin of Campi Flegrei, Gulf of Naples and school at Villa of the Mysteries, Pompeii was carried out. Some caustic remarks about interpretation of Homer and Lion Hunting were written. It is shown that Archimedes’ lever principal is theoretical basis of the Roman Empire volcanology and seismology. The Archimedes’ lever principal of planet alignment was demonstrated in several examples of the large up-to-date explosive eruptions with Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) greater than 4+ (6 examples). It was noted that the Pythagoras-Plato gravitational waves (vortexes) were known in Europe since Thales of Miletus and Pythagoras.

  • Kretan Cult and Customs, Especially in the Classical and Hellenistic Periods: a Religious, Social, and Political Study

    Kretan Cult and Customs, Especially in the Classical and Hellenistic Periods: a Religious, Social, and Political Study

    i Kretan cult and customs, especially in the Classical and Hellenistic periods: a religious, social, and political study Thesis submitted for degree of MPhil Carolyn Schofield University College London ii Declaration I, Carolyn Schofield, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been acknowledged in the thesis. iii Abstract Ancient Krete perceived itself, and was perceived from outside, as rather different from the rest of Greece, particularly with respect to religion, social structure, and laws. The purpose of the thesis is to explore the bases for these perceptions and their accuracy. Krete’s self-perception is examined in the light of the account of Diodoros Siculus (Book 5, 64-80, allegedly based on Kretan sources), backed up by inscriptions and archaeology, while outside perceptions are derived mainly from other literary sources, including, inter alia, Homer, Strabo, Plato and Aristotle, Herodotos and Polybios; in both cases making reference also to the fragments and testimonia of ancient historians of Krete. While the main cult-epithets of Zeus on Krete – Diktaios, associated with pre-Greek inhabitants of eastern Krete, Idatas, associated with Dorian settlers, and Kretagenes, the symbol of the Hellenistic koinon - are almost unique to the island, those of Apollo are not, but there is good reason to believe that both Delphinios and Pythios originated on Krete, and evidence too that the Eleusinian Mysteries and Orphic and Dionysiac rites had much in common with early Kretan practice. The early institutionalization of pederasty, and the abduction of boys described by Ephoros, are unique to Krete, but the latter is distinct from rites of initiation to manhood, which continued later on Krete than elsewhere, and were associated with different gods.
  • Articulation and the Origins of Proportion in Archaic and Classical Greece

    Articulation and the Origins of Proportion in Archaic and Classical Greece

    Articulation and the origins of proportion in archaic and classical Greece Lian Chang School of Architecture McGill University, Montreal, Canada August 2009 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Lian Chang 2009 Abstract This dissertation searches for the origins of western ideas of proportion in the archaic and classical Greek conceptual terrain of articulation. We think of articulation, in the first instance, as having to do with the joining of parts to fabricate an object, such as in the physical connection of pieces of wood, cloth, metal, or stone. However, the early Greek language that described these craft processes also, and inextricably, spoke in a number of ways about what it meant for a person, thing, or the world to be beautiful, healthy, and just. Taking Homer as its primary source, Part One therefore explores archaic ideas of bodily experience (Chapter One); of crafts (Chapter Two); and of the interrelations between the two (Chapter Three). These chapters lay emphasis on how the language and concepts of articulation constructed a worldview particular to early Greece. Part Two then examines early ideas of proportion, in social and political life as depicted by Homer (Chapter Four); in classical ideas about the medicalized human body and the civic body of the polis (Chapter Five); and in the cosmogonic theories of Empedocles and Plato (Chapter Six). In so doing, I aim to demonstrate how ideas of articulation allowed for and expanded into those of proportion, binding together the ordering of bodies, of the kosmos, and of crafts, including architecture.

  • The Aegean Chapter Viii the Decorative

    The Aegean Chapter Viii the Decorative

    H. J. Kantor - Plant Ornament in the Ancient Near East, Chapter VIII: The Decorative Flora of Crete and the Late Helladic Mainland SECTION II: THE AEGEAN CHAPTER VIII THE DECORATIVE FLORA OF CRETE AND THE LATE HELLADIC MAINLAND In the midst of the sea, on the long island of Crete, there dwelt a people, possessors of the fabulous Minoan culture, who are known to have had trade relations with Egypt, and with other Near-Eastern lands. Still farther away towards the north lies the Mainland of Greece, a region that proved itself to be a very hospitable host to the graft of Minoan culture. Before the close of the LH period the ceramic results of this union were to be spread over the Near East in great profusion and it becomes necessary to define the extent of Aegean influence on those traditions of Near-Eastern art that lie within the scope of our topic. Before this is possible a concise summary of the plant ornamentation of the Aegean must be presented.1 This background forms a necessary basis without which the reaction of Aegean plant design on the main development of our story, be it large or small, cannot be determined. 1 A great deal of interest and work has been devoted to the study of Minoan decorative art almost since the beginning of its discovery, and full advantage of this has been taken in the preparation of the present survey. The chief treatments of the subject are as follows: Edith H. Hall, The Decorative Art of Crete in the Bronze Age (Philadelphia, 1907); Ernst Reisinger, Kretische Vasenmalerei vom Kamares bis zum Palast-Stil (Leipzig, Berlin, 1912); Diederich Fimmen, Die Kretisch-Mykenische Kulture (Leipzig, Berlin, 1924), Alois Gotsmich, Entwicklungsgang der Kretischen Ornamentik, Wein, 1923); Frederich Matz, Frühkretische Siegel (Berlin, 1928), covering a much wider field than is indicated by the title; Georg Karo, Die Schachtgräber von Mykenai (Munchen, 1939).

La falsedad no se dispersa por la simple comparación con la verdad, sino que la práctica de la verdad la fuerza a huir. Protréptico 8.77.3 PREFACIO Una tesis doctoral debe tratar de contribuir al avance del conocimiento humano en su disciplina, y la pretensión de que este comentario al Protréptico tenga la máxima utilidad posible me obliga a escribirla en inglés porque es la única lengua que hoy casi todos los interesados pueden leer. Pero no deja de ser extraño que en la casa de Nebrija se deje de lado la lengua castellana. La deuda que contraigo ahora con el español sólo se paliará si en el futuro puedo, en compensación, “dar a los hombres de mi lengua obras en que mejor puedan emplear su ocio”. Empiezo ahora a saldarla, empleándola para estos agradecimientos, breves en extensión pero no en sinceridad. Mi gratitud va, en primer lugar, al Cardenal Don Gil Álvarez de Albornoz, fundador del Real Colegio de España, a cuya generosidad y previsión debo dos años provechosos y felices en Bolonia. Al Rector, José Guillermo García-Valdecasas, que administra la herencia de Albornoz con ejemplar dedicación, eficacia y amor a la casa. A todas las personas que trabajan en el Colegio y hacen que cumpla con creces los objetivos para los que se fundó. Y a mis compañeros bolonios durante estos dos años. Ha sido un honor muy grato disfrutar con todos ellos de la herencia albornociana.

    Tokyo University Seminar

    Philosophy Seminar at Komaba, 5 February, 2008 Who is the Sophist? Problems and Approaches Noburu Notomi (Keio University) "Sophist" is the name of professional intellectuals and teachers active in ancient Greece (and Rome). I have discussed in my book Who is the Sophist? (Jinbun-shoin, 2006) whether, and how, the sophist matters to philosophy. Aren't the sophists historical figures who no longer existed after the Middle Ages? I argue that confronting the sophist is an essential way of doing philosophy, and also that the sophist challenges philosophy in an essential way. The tension between the two has been lying at the very basis of Western philosophy. I demonstrate the significance of the sophist as a philosophical problem in the contemporary world. In the seminar I will introduce some of the main topics treated in my book. Those interested in this issue might also like to read my The Unity of Plato's Sophist: Between the Sophist and the Philosopher (Cambridge University Press, 1999; Japanese translation, Nagoya University Press, 2002). In the Who is the Sophist?, I translate and analyze three works of Gorgias and one treatise of Alcidamas. For the European translations of these sophists, see T. Buchheim, Gorgias von Leontini, Reden, Fragmente und Testimonien, Felix Meiner, 1989 (Greek Text, German translation, and commentary); J. V. Muir, Alcidamas: The Works & Fragments, Bristol Classical Press, 2001 (Greek Text, English translation, and commentary). Table of Contents: Who is the Sophist?
