Dewald 1987. Carolyn Dewald, “Narrative Surface and Authorial
DEWALD, CAROLYN, Narrative Surface and Authorial Voice in Herodotus' "Histories" , Arethusa, 20:1/2 (1987:Spring/Fall) p.147 NARRATIVE SURFACE AND AUTHORIAL VOICE IN HERODOTUS' HISTORIES CAROLYN DEWALD It is a topos nowadays that an author does not just construct his text but also encodes into it a narrative contract: he writes into the text the rules by which his audience is to read it, how we are to under stand his performance as author and our own responsibilities and legitimate pleasures as readers. 1 Judged by the standards of later historical prose, the narrative contract that Herodotus establishes be tween himself, the author, and ourselves, his readers, is a peculiar one. Its rules are very odd indeed. Here I would like to explore two aspects of those rules: the construction of the narrative surface and of the authorial "I" within it. Both these aspects of Herodotus' rhetoric have generally been evaluated against the standard practices of history writing. But if we look at Herodotus' narrative surface and authorial voice on their own terms, the contract they suggest is not (at least in some essentials) a historical one. The Herodotus I would like to pro pose here is a heroic warrior. Like Menelaus on the sands of Egypt, he struggles with a fearsome beast - and wins. The antagonist that He rodotus struggles with is, like many mythic beasts, a polymorphously fearsome oddity; it consists of the logos, or collection of logoi, that comprise the narrative of the Histories. What Herodotus, like Mene laus, wants from his contest is accurate information. -

The Mysterious Expedition of Thrasybulus of Miletus
Studia Antiqua et Archaeologica 23(2): 249–255 The mysterious expedition of Thrasybulus of Miletus Sergey M. ZHESTOKANOV1 Abstract. A cursory mention of a mysterious expedition against Sicyon, mounted by Thrasybulus, the tyrant of Miletus, can be found in Frontinus’ “Strategemata”. The author of the present article is of the opinion that in this way Thrasybulus was helping his ally Periander, the tyrant of Corinth. The probable aim of Periander’s military campaign was to reinstate the exiled Isodemus as tyrant of Sicyon and to include the Sicyonians’ territory in Corinth’ sphere of influence. Rezumat. O mențiune superficială a expediției misterioase împotriva cetății Sicyon, dusă de Thrasybulus, tiranul Miletului, este întâlnită în „Strategemata” lui Frontinus. Autorul acestui articol este de părere că în acest mod Thrasybulus îl ajuta pe aliatul său Periander, tiranul Corintului. Scopul probabil al campaniei militare a lui Periander era acela de a-l reinstala pe exilatul Isodemos ca tiran al Sicyon-ului și de a include cetatea în sfera de influență a Corintului. Keywords: Greece, Corinth, Sicyon, Archaic age, tyranny. In his treatise “Strategemata”, Sextus Julius Frontinus makes a reference to a rather mysterious expedition against Sicyon, led by Thrasybulus, the tyrant of Miletus in the 7th century BC: Thrasybulus, dux Milesiorum, ut portum Sicyoniorum occuparet, a terra subinde oppidanos temptavit et illo, quo lacessebantur, conversis hostibus classe in /ex/ spectata portum cepit. (Thrasybulus, leader of the Milesians, in his efforts to seize the harbour of the Sicyonians, made repeated attacks upon the inhabitants from the land side. Then, when the enemy directed their attention to the point where they were attacked, he suddenly seized the harbour with his fleet) (III, 9, 7). -

Hippokleides, the 'Dance', and the Panathenaia
Hippokleides, the ‘Dance’, and the Panathenaia Brian M. Lavelle IPPOKLEIDES, the son of Teisandros and of the clan Philaidai, is an intriguing but obscure figure in the H history of Athens in the early sixth century BCE.1 There are only two testimonia of consequence about him, one quite brief, the other much longer. The briefer one states that he was archon of Athens when the Greater Panathenaia was established and has been taken to imply that he was the festi- val’s originator. The longer, less substantive testimonium is far more entertaining. It is of course Herodotos’ famous story of the ‘marriage of Agariste’, the daughter of Kleisthenes, tyrant of Sikyon (6.126–130). For the greater part of the story, Hip- pokleides seems to be the star of the show: a luminous paragon of Archaic Greek noblesse, he is outstanding among the many suitors at Sikyon vying for the girl’s hand, demonstrating ἀν- δραγαθία and other qualities over nearly a year. Yet, for all of that and his year-long probation, things turn out quite badly for Hippokleides—and all at once. A shocking display of vul- garity at the exact moment when victory is imminent sinks him and his chances utterly. Such a catastrophic lapse in behavior and judgment is surprisingly inconsistent with Hippokleides’ chronically demonstrated excellence and moderation. The stunning reversal is in fact improbable—it is as if ‘Hippokleides’ is two different persons—and raises doubts about the story, to which may be added those created by its obvious folktale 1 Cf. H.

Humor and Ethnography in Herodotus' Histories
HUMOR AND ETHNOGRAPHY IN HERODOTUS’ HISTORIES Mark Christopher Mash A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classics. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Emily Baragwanath, Advisor Peter M. Smith, Reader Owen E. Goslin, Reader Cecil W. Wooten, Reader Fred S. Naiden, Reader ©2010 Mark Christopher Mash ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARK CHRISTOPHER MASH: Humor and Ethnography in Herodotus’ Histories (Under the direction of Emily Baragwanath) This dissertation examines the role of humor in Herodotus’ Histories. I argue that Herodotus’ humor is best understood in the context of his ethnography, and base my analyses on the thoughts of ancient and modern writers on humor. In particular, I incorporate anthropological perspectives on humor, and most notably ethnic humor. In chapter one, I establish the groundwork for later discussions by situating my work in the context of previous ancient and modern analyses of humor. In chapter two, I examine derision and witty retorts, starting first with Herodotus’ own ridicule of mapmakers in 4.36.2. In chapter three, I discuss the role of humorous deception in the Histories. In this interplay of humor and deception, I examine three main types: tricks that are reveled in by the instigator, tricks that are uncovered, and tricks that turn deadly. In chapter four, I take up the relationship between didacticism and humor, and show how it appears as an oblique tool by which wise advisors are able to challenge the rigidity of their recipient’s thinking. -

Greek comedy shared the same stage and the same festivals (see pp. 120–3), but it is very different. It is about the ordinary Athenian, usually faced with a down-to-earth problem for which he finds an extraordinary solution. So, the ‘hero’ of Greek comedy is, for the audience, ‘one of us’. Strepsiades has a number of ordinary, even timeless, problems, including a disobedient and extravagant son and not enough money to go round. The play opens with a long soliloquy (1–78), occasionally interrupted, in which we hear Strepsiades worrying about his financial difficulties. 1 Strepsiades Many of Aristophanes’ names are chosen for a reason. Strepsiades is related to the Greek word for turning and twisting. We first see Strepsiades tossing and turning on his bed (see also 36, ‘Initiation’, p. 20, 434, 1455). 2 what a night! In an open-air theatre it isn’t possible to convey darkness, so Strepsiades has to make it clear what time of day it is. -
Metics and Identity in Democratic Athens
METICS AND IDENTITY IN DEMOCRATIC ATHENS By MATTHEW JOHN KEARS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2013 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the metics, or resident aliens, in democratic Athens and how they affected ideas of identity, with a particular focus on the fourth century BC. It looks at definitions of the metics and how the restrictions and obligations which marked their status operated; how these affected their lives and their image, in their own eyes and those of the Athenians; how the Athenians erected and maintained a boundary of status and identity between themselves and the metics, in theory and in practice; and how individuals who crossed this boundary could present themselves and be characterised, especially in the public context of the lawcourts. The argument is that the metics served as a contradiction of and challenge to Athenian ideas about who they were and what made them different from others. -
