O BEC é uma publicação anual promovida pela Associação Portu- guesa de Estudos Clássicos, em colaboração com o Instituto de Estudos Clássicos da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra e com o Centro de Estudos Clássicos e Humanísticos, perfazendo já 30 anos ininterruptos de edição. Desde a sua fundação, o BEC mantém o perfil de uma revista dedicada aos Estudos Clássicos lato sensu, ou seja, às disciplinas de língua, litera- tura, história, cultura, filosofia e artes animadas pelo sopro criativo, recriador e transformador da Antiguidade Grega e Latina. É um espaço que perfilamos como eminentemente ligado à realidade da reflexão pedagógica, divulgação, e da comunicação didáctica dos 9 conteúdos científicos relacionados com os Estudos Clássicos. Acolhemos, por isso, a comunicação e a divulgação da novidade: partilha de projectos e de experiências didácticas; propostas e su- gestões de tradução de textos ou de objectos clássicos em Português; diálogos entre os Estudos Clássicos e o mundo contemporâneo; re- lação entre os Estudos Clássicos, a ciência, as artes e as técnicas, tradicionais ou novas. Num mundo saturado de informação, o BEC não pretende ser mais uma revista dedicada aos Estudos Clássicos. O BEC singulariza-se por dar destaque aos conteúdos da pedagogia e da comunicação em Estu- dos Clássicos e à adequação da investigação académica a um contexto pedagógico e didáctico. O número 61 honra este propósito, mostrando como diversos, às vezes inesperados e surpreendentes, são os caminhos que nos levam ao encontro da linfa vivificadora do Mundo Antigo. Homens do presente que somos, acreditamos que a vivência desse presente e a projecção de um futuro se enriquecem com uma educação BOLETIM DE ESTUDOS CLÁSSICOS • 61 em Estudos Clássicos. É com a consciência desta fé que procuramos ligar a comunidade educativa das línguas antigas, professores, estu- dantes, investigadores, profissionais e amadores, num diálogo cons- trutivo e criador.

Palavras-chave: Agamémnon; Poemas Homéricos; Basileus/Basileia; Wanax/Anax; Período Homérico. 13 Abstract: This article aims to present a synthesis of the problematic of kingship in the so-called Homeric period, based on the analysis of Agamemnon character in the Homeric Poems. Keywords: Agamemnon; Homeric Poems; Basileus/Basileia; Wanax/ Anax; Homeric Period. Apesar de a cultura grega ser popularmente associada à ideia de democracia, o facto é que esse não foi o único regime político vigente nas antigas cidades helénicas. Longe disso. Efectivamente, a par da democracia, a Hélade Antiga conheceu também oligarquias e monar- quias e até mesmo

  • Rereading Death: Ethics and Aesthetics in the Ancient
    REREADING DEATH: ETHICS AND AESTHETICS IN THE ANCIENT RECEPTION OF HOMERIC BATTLE NARRATIVE by Nicholas Kauffman A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, MD March, 2015 [Intended to be blank] ii Abstract In this dissertation, I examine the many famous death scenes in the Iliad and argue that their reception within antiquity reflects a lively and diverse discourse about the meaning of violence, and specifically of death in battle. As evidence of this reception, I consider later Greek epics and the exegetical tradition, viewing these texts using the methodological frameworks of intertextuality and reception studies. In the first chapter, I provide a descriptive analysis of the Iliad’s deaths and discuss the often conflicting interpretations of them advanced in modern scholarship. I argue that these deaths are underdetermined, that the text itself articulates no clear ideological framework within which to understand them, and I view this underdeterminedness as productive, in that it makes possible and even encourages dialogue among later readers. In the subsequent chapters I examine three texts that engage in this dialogue. First, I look at the death scenes in Apollonius’ Argonautica. Though these are largely constructed from Homeric motifs, I show that Apollonius consistently defamiliarizes these motifs and thus calls into question not only the formal qualities of the Iliadic narrative but also its ethical underpinnings. In Quintus of Smyrna’s Posthomerica, as I show in the following chapter, the deaths are designed to seem Homeric, and they are formally almost identical to their Iliadic counterparts.

  • An Aristeia of Agamemnon E Bruce Brooks University of Massachusetts at Amherst WSW (5 Jan 2004)
    33 An Aristeia of Agamemnon E Bruce Brooks University of Massachusetts at Amherst WSW (5 Jan 2004) I here attempt to disentangle Parry’s South Slavic data from his Homeric agenda, and to consider de novo the performance aspect of the early Iliad. Homer has been thought to be singly responsible for our Iliad. But to (1) compose separate tales of Troy, (2) assemble them into a bardic corpus,1 (3) draw on that corpus for a Wrath of Achilles poem,2 (4) update it for a more pacific audience sensibility, (5) bring it into closer agreement with the Odyssey,3 and (6) adjust it for performance at the Panathenaea,4 is not fit work for one man. We must choose. Mid 07c allusions5 put Homer in Stage 3; other evidence makes him contemporary with Hesiod (late 08c).6 These point to roughly the same period for the person with that name; earlier stages must be otherwise explained. I here suggest how a Stage 1 tale might be recovered from its incorporation into the Wrath poem (the Menis; Stage 3). Lays. How long were the Stage 1 tales of Troy? Parry (!or Huso 457-458) notes that a South Slavic epic performance is “a toil, and a good singer after a half hour of his song is drenched in sweat;” he reports a 58-minute long poem as delivered in segments of 20, 26, and 12 minutes. We may take 20 minutes (+ 6, -8) as a normal epic performance unit; a stint of two hours is very exceptional (Parry 458).7 The comings and goings of wedding guests or tavern regulars may interrupt a singer who does not interrupt himself (Parry 455); a long song must thus be viable as episodes.

I approach this broad topic primarily from the angle of mythological variation— that is, the competing and sometimes contradictory versions of individual myths which are an inherent component of the Greek and Roman mythological system. In Greece, myths and their variants played an important role in interfacing religion with politics. Through three “case studies” on the works of Ovid and Valerius Flaccus, I demonstrate different ways in which Roman poets, too, could utilize the pluralities of the tradition for their own poetic and political ends.

Each significant contribution to, and quotation in, this dissertation from the work, or works, of other people has been attributed, and has been cited and referenced. Signature:_______________________________________ Date:_____________________ Abstract The intent of this thesis is to examine the stylistics of Latin epic narrative as used to narrate and describe extended battle sequences, and to explore the way in which Latin authors working during the Augustan Era engaged with Homeric techniques of oral narrative while composing written epic. A total of six extended battle sequences from the Aeneid of Virgil and the Metamorphoses of Ovid are examined and analysed with regard to their use of word order, simile, catalogue, and other such stylistic features. The overall aim is to consider Ovid’s literary debt to his immediate epic predecessor Virgil, together with the debt of both poets to Ancient Greek epic narrative, in such a way as to explore the various techniques of generic allusivity practised by both poets on a stylistic level.
