Caitlin McKevitt EFRT 449 Greek Mythology Lesson Plan Day 1 Discuss with the students Aphrodite, Apollo and Ares. Aphrodite o Family: As one of the twelve main gods, Aphrodite’s relatives and offspring appear in many well-known myths. Below are the beginnings of a chart of Aphrodite's family, including her children by various mortals and gods. Students can then use this chart to learn about Aphrodite and her family and to create a family tree for the goddess. Family Member Relation Uranus Father Zeus Father Dione Mother Erinyes Sisters Giants Brother/Sister Aeneas by Anchises Son Lyrus by Anchises Son Eros Son Priapus Son Harmonia by Ares Daughter o The Many Faces of Aphrodite: As the goddess of Love, Aphrodite has a reputation in ancient Greek texts as both a positive and a negative force. The anthropomorphic version of Aphrodite possesses all manner of allurements that can be both good and bad. Aphrodite could represent purity and what the Greeks considered the common act of sexual intercourse. Students should look at following primary text entries for Aphrodite and investigate the many aspects of Aphrodite’s “personality.” o Associated Items & Beings: A god or goddess alone is inadequately defined since the people, beings, animals and things associate with a god or goddess say a lot about them. Through visual aids and texts, students can learn about the whole god or goddess by the items, people, beings, animals, and things that accompany them or that are used in their exploits. o Epithets: The names of gods and goddesses are often accompanied by a finite number of traditional epithets that describe the personality or associations of the divinity. Below is a list of epithets associated with Aphrodite. Students should investigate for the epitaphs for Aphrodite and then check their findings against this chart. Additions should be made to the chart as necessary. Epithet Text Laughter Loving Homer, Iliad & Odyssey Rich in Gold Homer, Iliad & Odyssey Homer, Iliad & Odyssey; Aristotle, Rhetoric Golden 1413a Fair Homer, Iliad & Odyssey Dark-Eyed Pindar, Pythian Ode 6 Silver Footed Pindar, Pythian Ode 9 Deceptive Bacchylides, Ode 17 line 115 Garland-loving Homeric Hymn 2, line 103 Rich-crowned Homeric Hymn 5, line 287 Apollo o Family: As one of the twelve main gods, Aphrodite’s relatives and offspring appear in many well-known myths. Below are the beginnings of a chart of Aphrodite's family, including her children by various mortals and gods. Students can then use this chart to learn about Aphrodite and her family and to create a family tree for the goddess. Family Member Relation Zeus Father Leto Mother Apis Son Corybantes by Thalia Brother/Sister Linus by Psamathe Son Corax by Chrysorthe Son Lamedon by Chrysorthe Son Zeuxippus by Syllis Son Asculapius by Arsinoe Son Mopsus by Manto Son Ion by Creusa Son Orpheus Son o Unlucky in Love: Apollo was no Casanova or Don Juan, he simply did not have “a way with women.” Apollo attempted to love many women by only succeeded in “loving” a few. Fits of jealousy, unrequited love, and bad luck plagued Apollo’s love life. Students should look at the love interests and affairs of Apollo along with their results. o Associated Items & Beings: A god or goddess alone is inadequately defined since the people, beings, animals and things associate with a god or goddess say a lot about them. Through visual aids and texts, students can learn about the whole god or goddess by the items, people, beings, animals, and things that accompany them or that are used in their exploits. o The God of Prophecy: Apollo’s oracle at Delphi was the most famous in the Greek world. Students should investigate Apollo as the god of prophecy. They should look at the duties of the Pythia, how at oracle was given, and the site of Apollo’s oracle, Mt. Parnassus. Ares o Family: As one of the twelve main gods, Aphrodite’s relatives and offspring appear in many well-known myths. Below are the beginnings of a chart of Aphrodite's family, including her children by various mortals and gods. Students can then use this chart to learn about Aphrodite and her family and to create a family tree for the goddess. Family Member Relation Zeus Father Hera Mother Panic by Cytherea Son/Daughter Evenus by Demonice Son/Daughter Molus by Demonice Son/Daughter Pylus by Demonice Son/Daughter Parthenopalus by Atlanta Son/Daughter Penthesilia by Otrene Son/Daughter Harmonia by Aphrodite Son/Daughter Thestius by Demonice Son/Daughter Pleuron Son o Positive & Negative Force: As the god of war, Ares has a reputation in ancient Greek text for begin both a positive force and a negative one. Students should look that following primary text entries for Ares that deal with his personality. The anthropomorphic version of Ares aids soldiers as they prepare for battle and cuts them down when they are weak. Ares as a negative force “pollutes reverence” as he deteriorates the behavior of men so that it equals that of unthinking animals. o Ares & Aphrodite: Ares and Aphrodite had an adulterous affair that resulted in offspring described by Homer and Hesiod. The goddess of love and the god of war joined in an affair that is not only documented in the ancient Greek myths but appears on vases and sculptures as well. Students should look at the relationship between the god and goddess for clues to how the Greeks considered adultery, the bonds of love and war, and whether they accepted the union between Aphrodite and Ares. o Associated Rituals: An important part of the nature of a god or goddess may be discerned from the rituals performed for the favor of that god or goddess. Students should look at the rituals performed in favor of Ares. After looking at Ares as a personality they should investigate whether Ares’ rituals are as violent as what the god himself represents. Students will also want to look at where the rituals are performed, who performs the rituals, and whether the societies that include these rituals in their religious practices worship only Ares or Ares along with other gods and goddesses. Day 2 Discuss with the students Artemis, Athena and Demeter Artemis o Family: As one of the twelve main gods, Aphrodite’s relatives and offspring appear in many well-known myths. Below are the beginnings of a chart of Aphrodite's family, including her children by various mortals and gods. Students can then use this chart to learn about Aphrodite and her family and to create a family tree for the goddess. Family Member Relation Zeus Father Latona/Leto Mother Apollo Brother Dionysos (in Egyptian Father mythology) Isis (in Egyptian Mother mythology) o Epithets: As an alternative to investigating the epithets of Artemis, student can look for the surnames that the goddess has earned in different areas of Greece and in different countries. Students should try to discern why a given surname is given to Artemis. Below is a through list of Artemis’ surnames. Pausanias' Guide to Greece is essential when looking for alternative surnames for any god or goddess. An explanation for the use of a particular surname is often provided. Epithet Artemis Agrotera (the Huntress) Brauronian Artemis Tauric Artemis Artemis Leucophryne Artemis Ariste (Best) Artemis Calliste (Fairest) Artemis Light-bearer Artemis Amarysia Artemis of the Portal Artemis Saviour Artemis Ephesian Artemis Patroa (Paternal) Artemis Pheraea Artemis Persuasion Artemis Orthia (of the Steep) Artemis Coryphaea (of the Peak) Artemis Lycea (Wolfish) Artemis Iphigenia Artemis Caryatis (Walnut tree) Artemis Aiginaea (Goat-goddess?) Artemis Issori Artemis Leader Artemis Orthia (Upright) Artemis Anaeitis Artemis Cnagia Artemis Dereatis Artemis Limnatis (Of the Lake) Artemis called Daphnaea (of the laurel) Artemis Dictynna Artemis Astrateia Artemis Bringer of Light Artemis “Nurse of Children” Artemis Coccoca Artemis Alpheiaea Artemis Elaphiaea Artemis Philomeirax Artemis Laphria Artemis Triclaria Artemis Hymnia Artemis Horse-finder Artemis Pyronia (Fire-goddess) Artemis Cnacalesia o Alter Egos: Artemis became associated with the moon in Classical times, the opposite of her brother, Apollo, the sun god. In turn the identification of Artemis with the moon linked her to the goddesses Hecate and Selene. Hecate and Selene do not represent the moon’s pure, white nature. Selene, the moon goddess, fell in love with Endymion and preserved him in perpetual sleep for her own. Hecate is the goddess of fertility who lives in the Underworld. She is closely linked to witchcraft, black magic and darkness. Artemis as Hecate or Selene no longer represents a virginal figure. Students should investigate the stories of Hecate and Selene. They should recognize their classical association with Artemis and their independence as divine entities. o Associated Rituals: The nature of a god or goddess may be discerned from the rituals performed for the favor of that god or goddess. Students should look at the rituals performed in favor of Artemis. Students will also want to look at where the rituals are performed, who performs the rituals, and whether the societies that include these rituals in their religious practices worship only Artemis or Artemis along with other gods and goddesses. o The Avenging Goddess: Artemis was not one to allow a misdeed to go unpunished. She sought revenge in its deadliest form in answer to a boast or a mistake. Students should investigate the vengeance Artemis takes on Niobe, Actaeon and others. They should decide whether the punishments Artemis exacted were fair or extreme to the ancient mind. Athena o Epithets and Surnames: As an alternative to investigating the epithets of Athena, student can look for the surnames that the goddess has earned in different areas of Greece and in different countries.

  • Athenians and Eleusinians in the West Pediment of the Parthenon

    Athenians and Eleusinians in the West Pediment of the Parthenon

    ATHENIANS AND ELEUSINIANS IN THE WEST PEDIMENT OF THE PARTHENON (PLATE 95) T HE IDENTIFICATION of the figuresin the west pedimentof the Parthenonhas long been problematic.I The evidencereadily enables us to reconstructthe composition of the pedimentand to identify its central figures.The subsidiaryfigures, however, are rath- er more difficult to interpret. I propose that those on the left side of the pediment may be identifiedas membersof the Athenian royal family, associatedwith the goddessAthena, and those on the right as membersof the Eleusinian royal family, associatedwith the god Posei- don. This alignment reflects the strife of the two gods on a heroic level, by referringto the legendary war between Athens and Eleusis. The recognition of the disjunctionbetween Athenians and Eleusinians and of parallelism and contrastbetween individualsand groups of figures on the pedimentpermits the identificationof each figure. The referenceto Eleusis in the pediment,moreover, indicates the importanceof that city and its majorcult, the Eleu- sinian Mysteries, to the Athenians. The referencereflects the developmentand exploitation of Athenian control of the Mysteries during the Archaic and Classical periods. This new proposalfor the identificationof the subsidiaryfigures of the west pedimentthus has critical I This article has its origins in a paper I wrote in a graduateseminar directedby ProfessorJohn Pollini at The Johns Hopkins University in 1979. I returned to this paper to revise and expand its ideas during 1986/1987, when I held the Jacob Hirsch Fellowship at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. In the summer of 1988, I was given a grant by the Committeeon Research of Tulane University to conduct furtherresearch for the article.

    Virgil, Aeneid 11 (Pallas & Camilla) 1–224, 498–521, 532–96, 648–89, 725–835 G Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and commentary ILDENHARD INGO GILDENHARD AND JOHN HENDERSON A dead boy (Pallas) and the death of a girl (Camilla) loom over the opening and the closing part of the eleventh book of the Aeneid. Following the savage slaughter in Aeneid 10, the AND book opens in a mournful mood as the warring parti es revisit yesterday’s killing fi elds to att end to their dead. One casualty in parti cular commands att enti on: Aeneas’ protégé H Pallas, killed and despoiled by Turnus in the previous book. His death plunges his father ENDERSON Evander and his surrogate father Aeneas into heart-rending despair – and helps set up the foundati onal act of sacrifi cial brutality that caps the poem, when Aeneas seeks to avenge Pallas by slaying Turnus in wrathful fury. Turnus’ departure from the living is prefi gured by that of his ally Camilla, a maiden schooled in the marti al arts, who sets the mold for warrior princesses such as Xena and Wonder Woman. In the fi nal third of Aeneid 11, she wreaks havoc not just on the batt lefi eld but on gender stereotypes and the conventi ons of the epic genre, before she too succumbs to a premature death. In the porti ons of the book selected for discussion here, Virgil off ers some of his most emoti ve (and disturbing) meditati ons on the tragic nature of human existence – but also knows how to lighten the mood with a bit of drag.

    The Pythias Excerpted from Secret History of the Witches © 2009 Max Dashu

    The Pythias excerpted from Secret History of the Witches © 2009 Max Dashu I count the grains of sand on the beach and measure the sea I understand the speech of the mute and hear the voiceless —Delphic Oracle [Herodotus, I, 47] In the center of the world, a fissure opened from the black depths of Earth, and waters flowed from a spring. The place was called Delphoi (“Womb”). In its cave sanctuary lived a shamanic priestess called the Pythia—Serpent Woman. Her prophetic power came from a she-dragon in the Castalian spring, whose waters had inspirational qualities. She sat on a tripod, breathing vapors that emerged from a deep cleft in the Earth, until she entered trance and prophesied by chanting in verse. The shrine was sacred to the indigenous Aegean earth goddess. The Greeks called her Ge, and later Gaia. Earth was said to have been the first Delphic priestess. [Pindar, fr. 55; Euripides, Iphigenia in Taurus, 1234-83. This idea of Earth as the original oracle and source of prophecy was widespread. The Eumenides play begins with a Pythia intoning, “First in my prayer I call on Earth, primeval prophetess...” [Harrison, 385] Ancient Greek tradition held that there had once been an oracle of Earth at the Gaeion in Olympia, but it had disappeared by the 2nd century. [Pausanias, 10.5.5; Frazer on Apollodorus, note, 10] The oracular cave of Aegira, with its very old wooden image of Broad-bosomed Ge, belonged to Earth too. [Pliny, Natural History 28. 147; Pausanias 7, 25] Entranced priestess dancing with wand, circa 1500 BCE.
  • Elegy with Epic Consequences: Elegiac Themes in Statius' Thebaid

    Elegy with Epic Consequences: Elegiac Themes in Statius' Thebaid

    Elegy with Epic Consequences: Elegiac Themes in Statius’ Thebaid A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Department of Classics of the College of Arts and Sciences by Carina Moss B.A. Bucknell University April 2020 Committee Chairs: Lauren D. Ginsberg, Ph.D., Kathryn J. Gutzwiller, Ph.D. Abstract This dissertation examines the role of elegy in the Thebaid by Statius, from allusion at the level of words or phrases to broad thematic resonance. It argues that Statius attributes elegiac language and themes to characters throughout the epic, especially women. Statius thus activates certain women in the epic as disruptors, emphasizing the ideological conflict between the genres of Latin love elegy and epic poetry. While previous scholarship has emphasized the importance of Statius’ epic predecessors, or the prominence of tragic allusion in the plot, my dissertation centers the role of elegy in this epic. First, I argue that Statius relies on allusion to the genre of elegy to signal the true divine agent of the civil war at Thebes: Vulcan. Vulcan’s erotic jealousy over Venus’ affair with Mars leads him to create the Necklace of Harmonia. Imbued with elegiac resonance, the necklace comes to Argia with corrupted elegiac imagery. Statius characterizes Argia within the dynamic of the elegiac relicta puella and uses this framework to explain Argia’s gift of the necklace to Eriphyle and her advocacy for Argos’ involvement in the war. By observing the full weight of the elegiac imagery in these scenes, I show that Argia mistakenly causes the death of Polynices and the devastation at Thebes as the result of Vulcan’s elegiac curse.

    The Curious Case of Erysichthon A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Elizabeth Torresson IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advisor: Nita Krevans December 2019 © Elizabeth Torresson 2019 Acknowledgments First, I would like to thank the department for their support and especially the members of my committee: Nita Krevans, Susanna Ferlito, Jackie Murray, Christopher Nappa, and Melissa Harl Sellew. The seeds of this dissertation were planted in my senior year of college when Jackie Murray spread to me with her contagious enthusiasm a love of Hellenistic poetry. Without her genuine concern for my success and her guidance in those early years, I would not be where I am today. I also owe a shout-out to my undergraduate professors, especially Robin Mitchell-Boyask and Daniel Tompkins, who inspired my love of Classics. At the University of Minnesota, Nita Krevans took me under her wing and offered both emotional and intellectual support at various stages along the way. Her initial suggestions, patience, and encouragement allowed this dissertation to take the turn that it did. I am also very grateful to Christopher Nappa and Melissa Harl Sellew for their unflagging encouragement and kindness over the years. It was in Melissa’s seminar that an initial piece of this dissertation was begun. My heartfelt thanks also to Susanna Ferlito, who graciously stepped in at the last minute and offered valuable feedback, and to Susan Noakes, for offering independent studies so that I could develop my interest in Italian language and literature.
