Jebb's Antigone Jebb’s Antigone By Janet C. Collins A Thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Classics in conformity with the requirements for the Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada August 2015 Copyright Janet Christine Collins, 2015 I dedicate this thesis to Ross S. Kilpatrick Former Head of Department, Classics, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario. Who of us will forget his six-hour Latin exams? He was a very open-minded prof who encouraged us to think differently, he never criticized, punned us to death and was a thoroughly good chap. And to R. Drew Griffith My supervisor, not a punster, but also very open-minded, encouraged my wayward thinking, has read everything and is also a thoroughly good chap. And to J. Douglas Stewart, Queen’s Art Historian, sadly now passed away, who was more than happy to have long conversations with me about any period of history, but especially about the Greeks and Romans. He taught me so much. And to Mrs. Norgrove and Albert Lee Abstract In the introduction, chapter one, I seek to give a brief oversight of the thesis chapter by chapter. Chapter two is a brief biography of Sir Richard Claverhouse Jebb, the still internationally recognized Sophoclean authority, and his much less well-known life as a humanitarian and a compassionate, human rights–committed person. In chapter three I look at δεινός, one of the most ambiguous words in the ancient Greek language, and especially at its presence and interpretation in the first line of the “Ode to Man”: 332–375 in Sophocles’ Antigone, and how it is used elsewhere in Sophocles and in a few other fifth-century writers. In chapter 4 I examine the “Ode To Man” itself, which has caused considerable academic discussion: Does it belong here? What role does it play in Antigone? Is it essential to the play? In chapter five I seek to discover the character of Antigone as Sophocles has drawn her. She is a fascinating woman, not only in her commitment to burying her brother Polyneices, but also in the subtleties in her that Sophocles has portrayed. When it comes to Sophocles, conclusions are most difficult, but I needs but try. Finally, the two appendices examine first Eglantyne Jebb, Sir Richard’s i niece who, with her sister Dorothy, founded “Save The Children,” and last of all, the “Apostles,” a secret society of Cambridge University of which Jebb was a member. ii Acknowledgments Over such a long period there are a very large number of people who have been so kind and thoughtful in supporting me. Mary and Douglas, Anne and Richard, Gloria and Drew, Sue and Ross, Carol and Anton, John, Venetia and John, Karen, Tina and Louise, Lynda, Margaret, some from twenty-five years ago whose names I can no longer remember but whose essence is immortal and unforgettable. And finally Susie Rance, my editor, without whose work this thesis would not be. Thank you all. You are all very special. iii Table of Contents Abstract.............................................................................................................................................i Acknowledgements........................................................................................................................ iii Chapter 1: Introduction ...................................................................................................................1 Chapter 2: Jebb ............................................................................................................................... 4 Chapter 3: δεινός ..........................................................................................................................44 Chapter 4: The First Choral Ode: 332–83 .....................................................................................71 Chapter 5: Antigone ...................................................................................................................... 92 Conclusion .................................................................................................................................. 136 Bibliography ............................................................................................................................... 138 Appendix A: Eglantyne ..............................................................................................................150 Appendix B: The Apostles ......................................................................................................... 161 iv Chapter 1: Introduction Sir Richard Claverhouse Jebb was a distinguished, and very capable, nineteenth-century classical scholar and statesman. His seven-volume translations and commentaries of the extant works of Sophocles’ plays are still the foremost works in any study of Sophocles. He was not boastful, but was rather a quiet man, keenly interested in all manner of subjects, not just classical studies. He, his fellow Apostles at Cambridge university and other friends from all walks of life advanced education to all people on all fronts in Victorian England. There were three subjects of enduring interest to Jebb that he never stopped fighting for: for education (for all children, for women, and for working people); for the equality of women and the need for women to sit on education councils; for Sophocles and for research of the Greek language in great detail and classical Greece in all its representations. Until mid-century, little actual research was done. Students translated and might look at such authors as were available in the extant manuscripts, but Jebb really was central to vigorous research, connecting topics and tracking down manuscripts. He was also an idealist. He saw an historical link between Sophocles, Vittorino da Feltre, a renaissance educator and man of faith, and himself. All believed that people could be so much more noble and honourable than they/we presently are. This is perhaps why he was so sure that the translation of δεινός at line 332, the first line of the “Ode to Man” in Sophocles’ Antigone, is “wonderful” and not “terrible.” Hence, having given a mini-biography of Jebb in chapter two, I turn to an examination of the word δεινός in chapter three. Because the word is a mystery, I look at its translation here in the ode, then at how Sophocles uses δεινός throughout his works, then at just a few examples in two or three other authors of his time. 1 In chapter four I examine in more detail the “Ode to Man” itself. The interpretations of the ode down through the generations are very interesting. They extend from seeing it as a poem dropped into the play to fill an artistic gap to seeing it in the twenty-first century computer age as a representation of man transferring his mental capacity into a computer and so dispensing completely with the body. Quite what Sophocles would think of this particular modern interpretation, or Jebb too, it is impossible even to imagine. In chapter five I look at the person that Sophocles has portrayed, Antigone. She is a complex, troubled, and ultimately controversial young woman, who sometimes draws compassion, sometimes draws condemnation, but in all instances is a fascinating and irresistible character. She pays the price for moral certitude, and even in her lament and final speech, she does not waver, nor appear pathetic. But, there are four one-liners in the play that ought not to be passed over, because they give us just a brief insight into another side of her personality. I consider Sophocles to be provoking the audience to think. The conclusion is followed by two appendices. The first is a brief account of Eglantyne Jebb, Jebb’s niece, who confirmed the family tradition of advocating social justice causes by founding the Save The Children Foundation and writing the first “Charter of Rights for the Child.” The family of Jebb, his sister and one surviving brother, were all, in all manner of ways, engaged in working to improve the lot of the human race. Jebb lived in the middle of all this activity, which he saw simply as the right thing to do. The second appendix is a brief history of the Apostles, a Cambridge club to which he belonged throughout his life. Jebb believed that to be invited to be a member was the most important event of his life, except for marrying his wife Caroline, who was the strongest support 2 for him. The Apostles were a secret society; only twelve students were members each year, and for the most part, they remained connected for the rest of their lives. The work they accomplished is of great value, though not much touted. 3 Chapter 2: Jebb Richard Claverhouse Jebb was born in the village of Claverhouse — hence his name — just outside of Dundee while his parents were vising his maternal grandmother.1 He grew up in Ireland, first in Dublin, then about nine miles outside in a house called Desmond in the very small village of Killiney. When he was four years old his sister Eglantyne2 was born, which thrilled Jebb. He and his sister remained very close throughout their lives. Caroline Jebb3 tells us that about five years later the family was completed by the birth of twins: Mrs. Arthur Jebb remembers well an evening when her father was amusing herself and Dick in the drawing room. He had not long before read portions of the Comedy of Errors to Dick, who had been greatly interested and wished to see the play acted. When the door opened to admit an old servant who announced the birth of the twins, Dick gleefully exclaimed, “Now we have the two Dromios.”4 Jebb was at this time nine years old. One of the twins had health issues, and this

I was thus enabled to meet the desire of friends, by writing an article on " Some Liberal Move- ments of the Last Half-century," which appeared in the Fortnightly Review for March, 1900. And I was encouraged by the reception which that article met with, to expand the substance of it into a small book. Hence the present work. I have extended my reading on the subject, and have had recourse to all sources of information which I found available.

  • Being Suneches, Being Continuous, Is a Central Notion in Aristotle
    1 The notion of continuity in Parmenides1 1. Introduction: Being suneches, being continuous, is a central notion in Aristotle’s Physics, and of crucial importance for understanding time, space, and motion within Aristotle’s framework. In this paper I want to show that continuity is, however, already of crucial philosophical significance in Parmenides, who seems to be the first thinker in the West to use the notion of continuity in a philosophically interesting and systematic way. But Parmenides uses it in a way that is importantly different from Aristotle with opposing implications. The notion of suneches itself has not attracted much attention from Parmenides scholars (even though the passages in which Parmenides talks about suneches have, and their understanding is highly disputed).2 What I will do in this paper is to look first in some detail at the three passages in fragment 8 of Parmenides’ poem that are of crucial importance for Parmenides’ notion of being suneches before comparing it briefly to Aristotle’s notion. An analysis of these three passages in Parmenides will show that suneches for Parmenides implies complete homogeneity and indivisibility. The three passages I look at are (1) fragment 8, lines 5-6a, where Parmenides calls what is (eon) “suneches” for the first time and links being suneches and being homou (‘being together’). (2) Lines 22-25 show being suneches to exclude differences in kind as well as any more or less. (3) Lines 42-49, finally, even though not using the word “suneches”, can be understood as taking up the discussion of conditions that would prevent eon from being suneches and as systematizing these conditions.

  • The Definition of Myth. Symbolical Phenomena in Ancient Culture
    The definition of myth. Symbolical phenomena in ancient culture Synm'JVe des Bouvrie Introduction THE PRESENT article aims at making a contribution to the definition of myth as well as to the discussion about the substance of what is commonly referred to as 'myth.' It does not pretend to give the final answer to all questions related to this intricate problem, but to offer some clarification at the present moment, when the term 'myth' is freely in use among classical scholars without always being suffi­ ciently defined. In fact the question of definition seems indeed to be avoided. In addressing this question I will proceed along two lines and study the nature and 'existence' of myth from a social as well as from a biological point of view. We have to ask how 'myth' operates in the particular culture we are studying, and to con­ sider how the human mind does in fact function in a special 'mythical' way, stud­ ying its relationship to conscious reasoning. By adducing insights from anthropological theory I hope to contribute to the definition of the term and by presenting some results from psychology I wish to substantiate the claim that 'mythical phenomena' can be said to be generated by some 'mythical mind.' Both answers amount to the conclusion that 'myth' does in fact exist, if we study what I provisionally call 'myth' as a subspecies of what commonly is labelled 'symbolic phenomena.' This term refers to processes and entities which constitute a complex force in the creation and maintenance of culture. My justification for these choices is the situation that within our field of classi­ cal studies we are deprived of studying phenomena like 'myth' within their living context.

  • CAMBRIDGE LIBRARY COLLECTION Books of Enduring Scholarly Value
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-01179-2 - Attic Orators from Antiphon to Isaeos, Volume 2 Richard Claverhouse Jebb Frontmatter More information CAMBRIDGE LIBRARY COLLECTION Books of enduring scholarly value Classics From the Renaissance to the nineteenth century, Latin and Greek were compulsory subjects in almost all European universities, and most early modern scholars published their research and conducted international correspondence in Latin. Latin had continued in use in Western Europe long after the fall of the Roman empire as the lingua franca of the educated classes and of law, diplomacy, religion and university teaching. The flight of Greek scholars to the West after the fall of Constantinople in 1453 gave impetus to the study of ancient Greek literature and the Greek New Testament. Eventually, just as nineteenth-century reforms of university curricula were beginning to erode this ascendancy, developments in textual criticism and linguistic analysis, and new ways of studying ancient societies, especially archaeology, led to renewed enthusiasm for the Classics. This collection offers works of criticism, interpretation and synthesis by the outstanding scholars of the nineteenth century. Attic Orators from Antiphon to Isaeos Sir Richard Claverhouse (R.C.) Jebb (1841–1905) was a prominent classical scholar and politician. Jebb was University Orator at Cambridge before becoming Professor of Greek at Glasgow in 1875, and eventually returning to Cambridge as Regius Professor. His many publications include books on Greek oratory, Homer, and modern Greece as well as editions of ancient Greek drama. The two-volumeAttic Orators from Antiphon to Isaeos (1876) was written with two primary objectives: to attend to a significant but often neglected element of Greek literature, Attic prose oratory, and to situate that oratory within its social and political contexts.
