  • From Sacrilege to Violence
    From Sacrilege to Violence The Rape of Cassandra on Attic Vases c. 575-400 BCE by Janke du Preez Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Samantha Masters March 2020 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. March 2020 Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract The Sack of Troy or Ilioupersis, is a lost epic of ancient Greek literature which tells of the violent and ruthless Greeks that pillaged the city of Troy. It was a prevalent theme in ancient Attic art, and in the fifth century BCE evolved onto the platform of Athenian drama. The Rape of Cassandra episode is one of the most recurring scenes in Attic vase-painting. The iconography, however, dramatically changes between 575-400 BCE. Both Archaic black-figure and Classical red-figure examples show Cassandra, in a vulnerable position, being attacked by Ajax. However, there are significant differences between the iconography of scenes from these two periods. In Archaic black-figure vase-painting the figure of Cassandra appears small, insignificant and in some instances completely hidden from view as she is obscured by the huge shield of Athena.

  • Crimes of Passion:Representationof Women and Female Sexuality in Mythological Abduction Paintingsof Peter Paul Rubens
    Quest Journals Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Science Volume 6 ~ Issue 12 (2018) pp.: 06-13 ISSN(Online) : 2321-9467 www.questjournals.org Research Paper Crimes Of Passion:RepresentationOf Women And Female Sexuality In Mythological Abduction PaintingsOf Peter Paul Rubens AnjuDevadas R D Research Scholar, PG & Research Dept. of English, Mar Ivanios College, Trivandrum ABSTRACT:The mythological stories and legends of ancient Greece repeatedly depict the motif of a mortal woman being ‘abducted’ by a Greek god or a legendary hero either appearing in his true self or disguising and assuming an animal form. The artistic representation of these narratives such as the abduction of Persephone by Hades, abduction of Helen by Paris or abduction of Orithyia by Boreas interchangeably use ‘rape’ and ‘abduction’ and portray women as the embodiments of beauty and sexuality transforming them into crimes committed in hot blood and passion. The sensuality of the paintings is heightened by both subject matter and expressive use of colour and exhibit pain, fear, revulsion, or sometimes passivity by the abducted maiden contrasted by the all-powerful and supreme depictions of Gods. The violent seizure and seductive image, along with the opulent and exuberant artistic nudity intensify the eroticism and poetry of such creations. This paper strives to examinethe sensual, sexual, and allegorical implications of rape and abduction in the select monumental mythological abduction and rape paintings of Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens such as The Rape of Daughters of the Leucippus, The Rape of Orithyia by Boreas,The Rape of Europa, The Rape of Hippodamia, andThe Rape of Proserpine.

  • Monsters, Manslayers, and Militant Women in Classical Greece
    Monsters, Manslayers, and Militant Women in Classical Greece Rhea Stark Brown University Fall 2015 Monsters, Manslayers, and Militant Women in Classical Greece The free male citizen stood at the center of Classical Greek civilization. In ancient art he is depicted as the ideal: courageous, controlled, noble, and good. Free, Greek men lived as the embodiment of kalos kagathos- the beautiful and virtuous. The elevation of the male form took on unique potency when defined in contrast to what it was not. Following the inception of democracy in the late 6th century and the Peloponnesian Wars in the 5th century, an oppositional worldview became a successful method of defining “Greekness.” Threats to the fledgling democracy in the form of the barbaric, foreign, grotesque, and feminine obtained resonance as oppositional forms of Greek self-definition. This exhibition explores how the “othering” of women within classical Greek society manifested in depictions of of mythologized man-killers and their victims. These varied representations simultaneously reveal both the Greek cultural ideal and the taboo. Representations of feminized monsters, manslayers, and militant women that exist outside the classical ideal highlight anxieties and discomforts the Greeks felt towards other ethnic groups, irregular performances of gender, and female disobedience. Representations of abnormal performances of gender and sexuality share a schema of iconography. Manslayers repeatedly adopt the characteristics of feminized monsters in literature and art. The victims of militant women and manslayers are frequently depicted collapsed backwards in similar poses of supplication and helplessness. To highlight the interwoven nature between monsters, manslayers, and militant women, this exhibition would be installed in one square room without dividers.

  • Rape in Ancient Greece?
    Rape and Rape Culture in the Ancient Greek Culture? Was rape “really” rape in Ancient Greece? Sotiria Koutsopetrou HIS 350 Master Thesis Department for Archaeology, History, Cultural studies and Religion UNIVERSITY OF BERGEN Spring 2019 Abstract In this master thesis I discuss how the ancient Greeks evaluated the rape of women, which sexual acts were punished as rape and whether their culture qualifies as rape culture. The topic is examined at five particular levels of inquiry. First, I take a closer look at the modern terms of rape and rape culture. Second, I analyze and compare the representations of rape in myth and art with the contemporary examples of rape culture. Then, I study the ancient Greek view of rape and the legal framework of the crime in ancient Athens and Gortyn on Crete. Finally, I examine the ancient literary pieces which deal with the female experience of rape and articulate the female suffering. My conclusion is that the ancient Greeks held a contradictory attitude on the matter. They did condemn the rape of their women, but also excused many forms of sexual violence against them. They used several verbal formulations for describing and “conceptually” connecting the act with the word bia (violence) or the word hybris (insult, outrage). From a legal perspective, an act of rape was understood as an insult against the property and the authority of the male kyrios (guardian) of the female victim and not against the victim herself. The female consent or point of view were immaterial. Raped women had access to the legal system only through their kyrioi, who decided according to their personal interests whether they would employ the available judicial or self-help remedies.

  • Greek Tragedy: a Rape Culture?
    Greek Tragedy: A Rape Culture? Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz Hamilton College, Clinton, N.Y. [email protected] Twentieth and twenty-first century feminism has brought a great deal of attention to the topic of rape. That attention in turn inspired work on antiquity, e.g. the volume on rape edited by Susan Deacy and Karen Pierce1, along with the monograph by Rosanna Omitowoju2, Froma Zeitlin’s anthologized essay in an early collection on rape3, and Mary Lefkowitz’s essay on heroines4. In this essay, I will first sketch in some (mostly U.S.) feminist approaches to rape, and then look at Greek tragedy through this lens. Let me state at the outset that I am interested in the fact that there are multiple feminist approaches to the topic, and in the fact that there is considerable ambiguity in the ancient material. Feminist political work in the 1970’s and 1980’s focused first on changing the legal definition of rape, which until then went back to Blackstone’s “carnal knowledge of a woman forcibly and against her will”5, that is, a woman other than a man’s wife, since there was no rape within marriage. Struggles to change that definition sought 1) to include 1 — Deacy 2002; Pierce 1997. 2 — Omitowoju 2002. 3 — Zeitlin 1986. 4 — Lefkowitz 1993. 5 — Cited in Nussbaum 2000: 137; Schulhofer 1992: 36. EuGeStA - n°1 - 2011 2 Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz wives and 2) to exclude the requirement that the rapist have used force and that the survivor offer physical resistance to demonstrate lack of consent, and thus to win a conviction in court6.

    Κακὸς Εὐνάτωρ: Divine Rape on the Tragic Stage Rachel Herzog, Barnard College Advisor: Professor Helene Foley, PhD April 29th, 2015 Acknowledgments My thanks first goes to Helene Foley, who has been generous beyond measure with her time, energy, support, and guidance throughout the long process of the creation of this thesis, ever since I first told her, in December of 2012, that I was interested in working on the Ion. The list of ways she has contributed to this project, and to the production with which it was intertwined, would go on for probably as long as the thesis itself. Second, I would like to thank the entire cast and crew of the Barnard-Columbia Ancient Drama Group’s production of Ion, whose enthusiasm, bravery, and talent have taught me so much about the text, and who have shared in the joy and beauty of this play with me. I would also like to thank Deborah Steiner, who taught me about Pindar, Simonides, and the Agamemnon, continuously astounding me in the process, Nancy Worman, who has sharpened my skills as a reader and critic more than I could possibly say, Marcus Folch and Rebecca Deng, who looked at the first iterations of this work, and everyone who has put up with my rambling about these plays for the past several years in one form or another. I am grateful as well for a generous grant from the Garett Albert Fund for Summer Study in Greek in June 2013 which supported the research which became chapter two of this thesis. 2 Introduction Atrocities, however, refuse to be buried….Remembering and telling the truth about terrible events are prerequisites for both the restoration of the social order and for the healing of individual victims.
