    P1: JzG 9780521845205pre CUFX147/Woodard 978 0521845205 Printer: cupusbw July 28, 2007 1:25 The Cambridge Companion to GREEK MYTHOLOGY S The Cambridge Companion to Greek Mythology presents a comprehensive and integrated treatment of ancient Greek mythic tradition. Divided into three sections, the work consists of sixteen original articles authored by an ensemble of some of the world’s most distinguished scholars of classical mythology. Part I provides readers with an examination of the forms and uses of myth in Greek oral and written literature from the epic poetry of the eighth century BC to the mythographic catalogs of the early centuries AD. Part II looks at the relationship between myth, religion, art, and politics among the Greeks and at the Roman appropriation of Greek mythic tradition. The reception of Greek myth from the Middle Ages to modernity, in literature, feminist scholarship, and cinema, rounds out the work in Part III. The Cambridge Companion to Greek Mythology is a unique resource that will be of interest and value not only to undergraduate and graduate students and professional scholars, but also to anyone interested in the myths of the ancient Greeks and their impact on western tradition. Roger D. Woodard is the Andrew V.V.Raymond Professor of the Clas- sics and Professor of Linguistics at the University of Buffalo (The State University of New York).He has taught in the United States and Europe and is the author of a number of books on myth and ancient civiliza- tion, most recently Indo-European Sacred Space: Vedic and Roman Cult.

With numerous rivers and streams to nourish the fertile land, a large number of populous cities sprouted up in Asia Minor. This area was the centerpiece of Paul’s mission and the area where he spent the bulk of his time. The apostle’s ministry in the region was so productive that it could be said that “all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord” (Acts 19:10). The numerous churches established during this time continued to thrive through the bitter persecutions of the Roman Imperial period. Ignatius, a first century disciple of the apostle John, was arrested and brought to Rome for execution.

  • Optima Carme: a Reexamination of the Nurse in the Ciris By
    OPTIMA CARME: A REEXAMINATION OF THE NURSE IN THE CIRIS BY CASEY LYNN HUGHES Submitted to the graduate degree program in Classics and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Chairperson: Dr. Tara Welch Dr. Anthony Corbeill Dr. Pamela Gordon Date defended: 10 May 2017 The Thesis Committee for CASEY LYNN HUGHES certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: OPTIMA CARME: A REEXAMINATION OF THE NURSE IN THE CIRIS Chairperson: Dr. Tara Welch Date approved: 10 May 2017 ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the Ciris, a Pseudo-Vergilian epyllion of uncertain date, and analyzes the figure of the nurse Carme, a character who has largely been ignored in previous studies of the poem. The Ciris narrates the story of Scylla of Megara and how she betrayed her father, King Nisus, because of her love for Minos, King of Crete. While nurses are typical stock characters in Greek and Roman literature, I will show how the character of Carme becomes more than Scylla’s nurse. Although she embodies the qualities of many nurses from various genres before her, the Ciris poet also expands her role, briefly transforming an otherwise minor character into a second heroine. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter One: Introduction 1 Chapter Two: Influential Nurses 11 Chapter Three: The Heroine Nurse 32 Conclusion 53 Bibliography 57 Appendix A 60 Appendix B 61 iv Chapter One Introduction The Ciris is a first century B.C. or first century A.D. epyllion about Scylla, who betrays her father Nisus, king of Megara, because of her love for Minos, king of Crete.

  • National All-Star Academic Tournament Round 14 Tossups 1
    National All-Star Academic Tournament Round 14 Tossups 1. Late in his life, this artist produced prints like The Knife Thrower and The Snail, known as his "cutouts." He painted a figure with an unnaturally twisted buttock in a work subtitled "Souvenir de Biskra," as well as a portrait of his wife with her face split in two by a "green line." This painter of Blue Nude depicted the title color bleeding from the floor to the wallpaper in his painting The Red Room. He used a half-blue and half-green landscape to display five red figures in a circle in another painting, a scene reimagined in this artist's The Joy of Life. For 10 points, name this painter of The Dance, the leader of Fauvism. ANSWER: Henri Matisse 020-09-12-14102 2. As a result of this event, Henricus Vos and Johannes van den Esschen were executed. A meeting in Speyer temporarily retracted the central result of this event, which resulted in a proclamation authored by Girolamo Aleandro. The Archbishop of Trier, Johann Eck, spoke for the emperor who convened it. Frederick the Wise guaranteed that one man would have safe passage to and from this meeting. It took place the year after Pope Leo X issued the papal bull Exurge Domine, which demanded that a man retract forty-one errors in his writings. Instead of retracting his errors, that man allegedly stated at this meeting "Here I stand; I can do no other." For 10 points, name this 1521 meeting whose namesake edict outlawed Martin Luther as a heretic.

  • Round 8 1. According to One Late Tradition, He Married a Daughter Of
    Round 8 1. According to one late tradition, he married a daughter of Minyas named Clymene that bore him Arcesilaus, the father of Laertes. He was awarded the island of Samos during the war against the Teleboans, which was renamed for him. Apollodorus describes how this man was actually a son of Herse and Hermes who fathered Tithonos when he was (*) kidnapped by Eos. This man’s wife was bribed with a golden crown to have sex with Pteleon. Afterwards, she fled to the court of King Minos. When his wife sang a hymn invoking Nephele, he used a weapon he had received from her to impale her, that weapon was a spear that never missed. For 10 points, name this consort of Procris. ANSWER: Cephalus 2. In The Book of the Heavenly Cow, this god pours an alcoholic substance that floods the “four meadows of paradise” and orders Hathor to destroy evil humans. He is sometimes depicted as being merged with Horus of the Double Horizon, during which he is conflated with Horakhty. In a text named after him, this god is bitten by a snake that was created when his daughter used his saliva to create it - that text sees (*) Isis try to learn this god’s true name. This god constantly does battle with the primordial dragon Apophis during the tenth hour of the night, only to emerge victorious every day. Hathor is often said to be the eye of this figure. For 10 points, name this god of the sun who was conflated with Atum. ANSWER: Ra 3.

  • Ancient Greek and Latin Influences on Edgar Allan Poe's Poetry
    S. E. TSITSONIS ANCIENT GREEK AND LATIN INFLUENCES ON EDGAR ALLAN POE'S POETRY Edgar Allan Poe, perhaps the most tragic, controversial and strangest figure in American Literature, occupies as a poet, short story writer, and literary critic a distinguished place among the intellectuals of the Romantic Movement in America1. The Romantic Movement, which flourished first in Europe approximately between the late eighteenth and the middle of the nineteenth century, had a strong influence on Poe's writings. When the Romantic Movement reached a climax in America, approximately between 1820 and 1850, Poe wrote all his works and along with the other major representatives of American Roman­ ticism formed that lumimous constellation that drew part of its light from the European sun 2. It was after the end of the American Civil War in 1865 that the American Romanticism started declining, due to the opening of new material opportun­ ities for the Americans and to the creation of a new faith in realism, which prevailed over the romantic past. Thus, although the Romantic Movement did not altogether disappear in America, it gave way to the surging tide of Realism and Naturalism. The American Romanticists had many characteristics in common. They wrote their works in a dignified style, keeping aloof from the vulgar or the profane, which the Realists never failed to include in their works as an indispen­ sable part of life. Moreover, the American Romanticists undertook to support the dignity of the weak, the needy, and the oppressed, thus succeeding in bringing about social reforms in America in favour of the middle and lower classes.

    Gender Interplay in Nonnos’ Dionysiaka The cases of Deriades and Aura by Katerina Apokatanidis A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Classical Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 © Katerina Apokatanidis 2018 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis presents the relation between the gendered language of Nonnos and the ironic undertones he employs to describe two main plot points in the Dionysiaka. I focus on Dionysos’ battle with Deriades, the Indian king, and Aura, the titan goddess of the breeze. In my first section, I argue that the irony employed to describe the death of Deriades is based on misperceptions of gender identity as he understands the world. Due to his fixity on the masculine extreme of the gender spectrum, Deriades has created a skewed view of the world which led to his demise by the gender-fluid Dionysos. His false perception is reflected in the text when Athena disguises herself as Morrheus, Deriades’ son-in-law, and comes to taunt him for fleeing the battle with Dionysos. Athena is herself a gender-fluid goddess as the masculine virgin goddess of Truth/Wisdom. Her disguise symbolises the loss of true understanding. For my second section, I examine the implications of the total loss of gender identity as experienced by Aura.
