  • 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.

But during the war the essential dis- tinction is not between oligarchy and democracy : it is much more between Ionian and Dorian. What is held to draw states into united action is the natural bond of common origin. In practice the artificial bond of common interest may prove as strong or stronger than the natural bond, and may lead to alliance between aliens or enmity between kinsmen. In order to understand the transactions between the independent states, we have to banish from our minds the elaborate rules that constitute modern Inter- national Law.

  • Syracuse, Italy)
    Sophie Bouffier, Vincent Dumas, Philippe Lenhardt, Jean-Louis Paillet HYDROSYRA Project. Some Reflections about the Ancient Aqueduct of Galermi (Syracuse, Italy) Summary Since 2012, the Centre Camille Jullian team carries out an interdisciplinary study of the aqueduct Galermi, architectural work and hydraulic engineering of about 30 km long. This aqueduct, built between the 5th century BC and the Roman Empire, first supplied drinking water to Greek and/or Roman Syracuse. In the 16th–17th centuries, partial transformations have been done and changed the function of the channel, with the installation of flour mills. In the 19th century, the new Italian state gradually expropriated immediate neighbors who exploited abusively the aqueduct. It was then devoted only to irrigate the Syracusan territory according to a system of concessions that has almost remained unchanged since the 19th century. The paper will present this program and the last results that the team obtained in the last two years, particularly about intakes of water and underground galleries, and which chronology can be proposed. Keywords: Aqueduct; Greek and Roman Antiquity; drinking water; Sicily Seit 2012 führt das Zentrum von Camille-Jullian eine interdisziplinäre Studie zum Galermi- Aquädukt, seiner Architektur und hydraulischen Technik auf ungefähr 30 km Länge durch. Dieses Aquädukt, gebaut zwischen dem 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. und dem römischen Reich, lieferte zunächst Trinkwasser zum griechischen bzw. römischen Syrakus. Vom 16. bis 17. Jahrhundert sind partielle Umwandlungen getätigt worden, die die Funktion des Kanals durch die Inbetriebnahme von Getreidemühlen änderten. Im 19. Jahrhundert dann ent- eignete der neue italienische Staat stufenweise Anrainer, die das Aquädukt-Wasser illegal angezapft hatten.

Lefkowitz, Swarthmore College ([email protected]) Table of Contents The idea that some of the fictional characters in Aristophanic comedy are in fact caricatures of real Athenians has been around since antiquity. In the opening of Knights, for example, one of two unnamed slaves appears to out himself as the general Demosthenes when he complains that Cleon has stolen credit for "my own" (μο, 54) victory at Pylos (Knights 54-57). Ancient commentators speculated on the identity of the other slave as well: "They say that while one of the slaves is Demosthenes, the other is Nikias, to make both of them politicians (demegoroi)" (Hypothesis A3).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The aim of the thesis is to understand popular attitudes in Athens to judicial activity in the late fifth and early fourth centuries, the period in which Aristophanes wrote and performed his plays. Within the Aristophanic world, characters are frequently portrayed as engaging in litigation and jury service. Moreover, this portrayal of judicial activity is decidedly ambivalent, with the comic hero often fleeing from judicial activity into a fantastical paradise within which judicial activity is consciously banished. And yet as the play continues, judicial activity often resurfaces within the fantastical paradise. These on-stage images of judicial activity are compared with portraits which litigants paint of themselves and their opponents in the Attic Orators. Litigants characteristically present themselves as inexperienced and reluctant to engage in judicial activity, while portraying their opponents as experienced to the point of sycophancy.

  • NOTES on HYPERBOL Usl Thucydides
    NOTES ON HYPERBOL USl Thucydides (8.73.3) has one contemptuous reference to the unfortunate seller of lamps. Hyperbolus was a worthless character (J..LOX~hjp6<;), whom no one really feared; he was ostracised for his depravity (otu 7toVTJpiav), and murdered on Samos in 411. His language is evocative. The epithet J..LOXaTJp6<; occurs only here in the historian;2 along with the phrase OUl 1tOVTjptUV, it derives from Aristopha­ nes,3 The entire statement is less illuminating than the much-maligned 1 ••• ,. I merchandise of the victim. Hyperbolus is introduced out of political and chronological context, to be killed off like a minor Homeric hero with a gleeful ave atque vale. The details of his career and influence are discreetly omitted; the alleged reason for his ostracism is absurd, and the tradition that he was the last victim of this fate is absent; no precise motive for the subse­ quent liquidation of such a worthless cypher is offered. The scornful silence is incongruous by the side of Old Comedy's vigorous attention to the demagogue. Hermippus supposedly set the fashion of abusing him, and both Plato and Eupolis consecrated specific plays to the popular butt. Other comedians, such as Cratinus, Leucon, and Polyzelus joined the hunt.4 Aristophanes himself alludes to Hyperbolus in seven plays, ranging chronologically from 425 to 405.5 Thucydides' suppressio veri perhaps influenced the author of the Athenaion Politeia, who obliterates Hyperbolus from his accounts of ostracism and register of corrupt demagogues. Nevertheless, the demagogue is an immoral 1. I am indebted to my colleague Dr.
