  • Finding Empathy for Phaedra in Roman Wall Paintings Phaedra, the Daughter of Minos, Sister of Ariadne, Wife of Theseus and Stepm
    Finding Empathy for Phaedra in Roman Wall Paintings Phaedra, the daughter of Minos, sister of Ariadne, wife of Theseus and stepmother of Hippolytus, attempted an affair with Hippolytus, committed suicide, and orchestrated Hippolytus’ murder by means of his father Theseus. Phaedra’s actions and their results are condemnable acts to the modern audience and would have likely been seen as such by Roman viewers who encountered images of Phaedra on the walls of Roman houses and on sarcophagi. However, I think it possible that the representations of Phaedra in Greco-Roman antiquity were not solely meant to point to all of her mistakes as a disloyal wife. My goal in this paper is to show that, despite Phaedra’s reputations as a terrible wife, representations of her in Roman private art were designed to invoke empathy in the hearts and minds of Roman viewers. Phaedra is well known through her literary treatment in both Euripides’ Hippolytus and Ovid’s Heroides IV. Phaedra and her myth are also frequently represented in Roman private art. Wall paintings from Pompeii and Herculaneum dating from the late first century BCE to the late first century CE feature a seated Phaedra by her nurse who often holds the letter to Hippolytus in her hand. In some examples Hippolytus is also depicted leaving the scene, presumably after he has received the letter and rejected Phaedra’s offer. Phaedra was repeatedly chosen to be portrayed in Roman homes as an example of consuming love, whether by a god’s influence or her own choice, not condemnable betrayal of her husband and household.

  • Between Arcadia and Crete: Callisto in Callimachus' Hymn to Zeus The
    Between Arcadia and Crete: Callisto in Callimachus’ Hymn to Zeus The speaker of Callimachus’ Hymn to Zeus famously asks Zeus himself whether he should celebrate the god as “Dictaean,” i.e. born on Mt. Dicte in Crete, or “Lycaean,” born on Arcadian Mt. Lycaeus (4-7). When the response comes, “Κρῆτες ἀεὶ ψεῦσται” (“Cretans are always liars,” 8), the hymnist agrees, and for support recalls that the Cretans built a tomb for Zeus, who is immortal (8-9). In so dismissing Cretan claims to truth, the hymnist justifies an Arcadian setting for his ensuing birth narrative (10-41). Curiously, however, after recounting Zeus’s birth and bath, the hymnist suddenly locates the remainder of the god’s early life in Crete after all (42-54). The transition is surprising, not only because it runs counter to the previous rejection of Cretan claims, but also because the Arcadians themselves held that Zeus was both born and raised in Arcadia (Paus. 8.38.2). While scholars have focused on how the ambiguity of two place names (κευθμὸν... Κρηταῖον, 34; Θενάς/Θεναί, 42, 43) misleads the audience and/or prepares them for the abrupt move from Arcadia to Crete (Griffiths 1970 32-33; Arnott 1976 13-18; McLennan 1977 66, 74- 75; Tandy 1979 105, 115-118; Hopkinson 1988 126-127), this paper proposes that the final word of the birth narrative, ἄρκτοιο (“bear,” 41), plays an important role in the transition as well. This reference to Callisto a) allusively justifies the departure from Arcadia, by suggesting that the Arcadians are liars not unlike the Cretans; b) prepares for the hymnist’s rejection of the Cretan account of Helice; and c) initiates a series of heavenly ascents that binds the Arcadian and Cretan portions of the hymn and culminates climactically with Zeus’s own accession to the sky.

  • A Countertenor's Reference Guide to Operatic Repertoire
    A COUNTERTENOR’S REFERENCE GUIDE TO OPERATIC REPERTOIRE Brad Morris A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2019 Committee: Christopher Scholl, Advisor Kevin Bylsma Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2019 Brad Morris All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Christopher Scholl, Advisor There are few resources available for countertenors to find operatic repertoire. The purpose of the thesis is to provide an operatic repertoire guide for countertenors, and teachers with countertenors as students. Arias were selected based on the premise that the original singer was a castrato, the original singer was a countertenor, or the role is commonly performed by countertenors of today. Information about the composer, information about the opera, and the pedagogical significance of each aria is listed within each section. Study sheets are provided after each aria to list additional resources for countertenors and teachers with countertenors as students. It is the goal that any countertenor or male soprano can find usable repertoire in this guide. iv I dedicate this thesis to all of the music educators who encouraged me on my countertenor journey and who pushed me to find my own path in this field. v PREFACE One of the hardships while working on my Master of Music degree was determining the lack of resources available to countertenors. While there are opera repertoire books for sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, tenors, baritones, and basses, none is readily available for countertenors. Although there are online resources, it requires a great deal of research to verify the validity of those sources.

Endnotes 49. Figure List 55. Figures 57. Bibliography 70. Winter iii Abstract: In the Renaissance, the bodies of individuals were understood as guides to their internal identities, which influenced the public understanding of the figure represented in art—be it in terms of politics, personal life, or legacy. The classicizing and religious paintings by Titian (c. 1488/90-1576) show the subject’s state of being, at a particular moment in a story, through the use of body language. The body is a vehicle for narrative that demonstrates the sitter’s identity, relating the intricacies of the body to both the mind and the story. By exploring the humanist combination of philosophical theories regarding the relationship between the soul and the body, it is clear that Titian used these concepts to elevate the human figures in his narrative paintings. Formal analysis and Renaissance artistic theories by Alberti and others suggest that Renaissance artists operated under the assumption that how their sitters appeared was tantamount to representing their identities. Current scholarship has not yet considered this particular relationship in Titian’s works.

  • The Story of Callisto in Hesiod
    122 William Sale THE STORY OF CALLISTO IN HESIOD The onIy thorough investigation into the myth of Callisto was done in 1890 by Reinhold Franz, who sought, among other things, to recover a form of the story which he could attribute to Hesiod 1). By "Hesiod" he meant the author of the Eoeae or Catalogue 0/ Women, "and the version of the myth which he 2 considered Hesiodic is tailored to fit this work or works ); "that is, it does not end with the catasterism of Callisto, the familiar scene in which Zeus changes her to the Great Bear. Other scholars have been reluctant to sever the catasterism from the rest, and have therefore argued that the story belongs to the Astronomy, another part of the Hesiodic corpus 3). And in Rzach's edition we find a rather detaiied account of Callisto 4 assigned to the Astronomy as fragment 181 ). Recently J. Schwartz has taken an extremely skeptical position: Callisto was mentioned and her story perhaps told in the Catalogue, but we cannot recover this story; in the Astronomy she was not to be found, and the Great Bear was there called Helice (Schwartz pp. 126n., 258). This view I find unwarrantabIy incredulous; the testimony contains absurdities and contradic- 1) Reinhold Franz, nDe Callistus Fabula", Leipziger Studien 12, part 2 (1890) 237-365. 2) Regarded by Franz as two works (p. 345 n. 1); most modern schol­ ars, correctly as it seems, regard the Eoeae as part of 01', more probably, identical with, the Catalogue.
